Come on. Yes, our memories are distorted by time and emotions or other subjectivity, but facts and tangibility helps anchor your distorted memories.
Where I lived as a little kid, I thought it was a gorgeous neighborhood, in my opinion. Here are the facts-- the suburb was built only a few years before my family moved there. There was nothing old, dirty, or dilapidated about my house, the stores, my schools, the entire neighborhood. So, I may have rose-tinted glasses over my childhood town, which is my opinion and people are free to disagree, but it's a fact that it was a modern, brand-new area at the time. Because lots of people would enjoy the chance of living in a brand-new house, they wouldn't scrutinize my "romanticized" feelings about my old town. My feelings are rooted in fact, to a degree.
Okay, let me try an new approach:
You're totally right. Your memory of that woman who blew your mind is 100% accurate, and you're never going to find anyone else who lives up to her, because no one can.
Is that what you wanted to hear? I mean, telling you the truth clearly isn't working, so this is all I've got.
You need to realize: the girl worth keeping, a NO COMPARISON, is someone who will stick with you through thick and thin, job or no job.
She'll want to be there for you to help you to be the person you want to be, and raises up not down when you're at your lowest low.
Just some background: that relationship lasted 6 of 8 years. Things were "thick" for 2 years and really "thin" for 4. How long is too long to wait for someone to be stable job-wise?
I think all the guys I've dated so far have unique qualities and flaws. Therefore, I can't single out one of them as "the best I've ever had". I'm this guy for many guys, but I don't have this view myself. What I liked in one guy, I didn't like in the other for instance (because I've matured and my tastes/needs changed).
I believe that if we were such a good match, it would have worked and I wouldn't be pining over them. The sole fact that we're not together now means that they weren't the right person for me.
