But you never became anything more than friends. I hate when I meet someone that's perfect for me but they don't realize it and stuff just doesn't go the way I planned.

Yes. It happened to me years ago and I spent a few years fooling around hoping he'd see it too but, I was naive, a lot younger and just didn't see past my own feelings to know that even though I thought he was perfect for me, I realized that I was just wasting time. It was a good lesson for me though.

In years since, I had met someone and yes it worked out.

Sort of. Thought she was perfect at the time, in retrospect she wasn't.

I was, they just didn't realize it.

Here's an analogy. Someone enters college undecided. They take a class and they realize the subject would be a good major for them. That major had been perfect for them all along, they just didn't realize it until they took the class.

We all know ourselves very well. Based on what I know about myself and what I knew about her, I could tell we were perfect for each other. Almost like there was a reason why we ended up at the same college. But she doesn't know me as well as I know myself, so maybe she didn't realize I was perfect for her.

I probably felt that way when I was younger.

Now that I am older I see the short-sightedness in that reasoning.

Everyone changes in life. When we meet someone we feel in our heart they are perfect for you. Then you get to know things about that person and suddenly you feel they are not what you thought they were.

When you meet someone you should ask yourself if they are flexible. Will I be able to adjust well with this person.

The reason I mentioned flexiblity is because time and situations are always changing. We change. All of us view things differently. If a situation we found to be perfect suddenly changes how will we react, conform or fix the change in circumstances. That's the key to making it perfect.

They always seem perfect when you cant have them. Yes this happened to me and still whenever I talk to him I think "it could happen!" But then reality smacks me around a bit and all is well again!!! LOL
