If you’ve been reading this blog and/or my newsletters for some time, you already know how much I tend to harp on “settling”.
Essentially, I firmly believe that we shouldn’t allow ourselves to get into a long-term relationship with ANYONE who isn’t really who we want.
That’s all well and good.
But a couple of days ago, someone wrote in and basically asked this:
“Okay, smart guy. It’s loud and clear by now that I shouldn’t ‘settle’. But wait a minute, Trigger. How am I supposed to know if I’m being TOO picky?”
Interesting. On the surface, one’s knee-jerk reaction might be to assume that if “settling” is such a dirty, forbidden state of affairs then there would theoretically not be any such thing as being “too picky”.
But as it turns out, you really CAN cross the line if you’re not careful.
