Loved this part of Eat, Pray, Love that I read today, I feel like this pretty much sums up my dating past.
"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching their highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have held on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism. " --Elizabeth Gilbert
I always seem to get stuck on these little glimpses of good character that men show me occasionally and then I seem to glaze over the fact that the rest of the time they aren't what I want at all.
