In choosing a bf/gf, it has to be on an intellectual basis before it is made on an emotional basis.
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"
"The heart is willful and is driven by its own agenda. It does not consider things rationally and intelligently.. it just loves to love!"
"Therefore we have the responsibility to have to point in the right direction"
And so comes my question.
What if there aren't those "in love" type feelings, but that person is the ideal type that makes sense as the perfect partner..
Maybe now we don't feel that way but a few years down the road we might change how we think and what we want in life.
Along with that, opportunities only come in once in a lifetime. If the decision isn't made now, the chances are that this person will not be there in the future.
I am very much a romantic, and I do know that feelings are not the most reliable.. especially when the demands of reality set in.
Any words of advice?
What do you think is important in finding a good partner? For my case, a serious boyfriend..
What are realistic factors that I need to keep in mind?
When it come to finding a good partner, the Indian (Hindu) astrologist come out tops. There are the best bet in the restless world like this is, where love is ended before its begun, and too many moonlight kisses, cool in the warmth of the sun.
They have eons of knowledge, and their success rate is high.
Sri Lankan astrologist are also experts in this field.
They can tell you what you should look out for.
