Dating in the Postmodern Era

At heart I am more of an optimist than a cynic. More spiritual than religious. More hopeful than desperate. More giving than demanding. More stubborn than patient. Smart about a number of things and abysmally dumb about other stuff. I have a point, and I think I'm getting there, even though my process here is a little disjointed. Could it be that the not perfect man, but one who is perfect for me, is right under my nose and I'm not noticing him!?!? While I find the comic strip up there as funny as it can be, I sincerely hope it isn't the way things are out there. But it sure feels that way today.
