No can do.
Parents are going away to the Rib Cookoff in Reno for the weekend and I’m hanging out with my brother.
I’d take him along to the game, but I’m supposed to take him to a meeting Fri night.

it's not really settle
it’s more like what you can live with and what you can’t. not everything’s perfect, but what you both care about is perfect. in other words, settling, but that’s not a word people like to associate with relationships.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
I do think it’s good to look for a certain amount of compatibility before making a commitment, and it’s good to figure out your main relationship issues before making a commitment, too.
But on the flip side, I think there’s a real danger in getting too stuck in the idea of “finding the right one” because it puts you in a mindset where you bail out when things get rough. No matter who you’re with, there’s going to be work to do and there are going to be some incompatibilities. You will need to work those out. And if you are sure enough that you want to be together, you shouldn’t put off the commitment until after the work is done … because the work is never done.
There comes a point where maintaining your “maybe this isn’t the one” psychological escape hatch is no longer helpful.

I think everyone settles to some extent
it just depends on what you’re willing to settle for/with. In some ways, it’s kind of like a lot of people say “f it” I’m done looking and become more amenable to things they might not have been several relationships behind.
For example, must be a baseball fan. But a slegnA fan? Deal-breaker.

I agree except for the word
“settle”. If you think of it as settling your head is still in the wrong place.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
it's not REALLY settle
it’s more like what you can live with and what you can’t. not everything’s perfect, but what you both care about is perfect. in other words, settling, but that’s not a word people like to associate with relationships.

Ive been with a couple of girls that I would make sacrafices for longterm
but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be sure before I got hitched and I think having sex with someone, while less important than giving good hugs or being awesome to make out with, is definitely something that you need to test compatibility with. Same goes for living with a person.

Strangely, hugs aren't important
to everyone. I learned this too late.

How it is and how it should be
aren’t the same.
It goes both ways, though. There are other things that you and I maybe don’t value so much that others think should be universal. Compliments, for example.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
are you saying that i don't like compliments?

Just a guess. Maybe I missed.
For some people (including me) hugs are essential. For some people (not including me) compliments are essential.
For some people giving hugs comes naturally and goes without saying. For some people giving compliments comes naturally and goes without saying.
You can’t assume that your natural way of expressing love is what the other person needs, and you can’t assume that what you need is how the other person will naturally express her love. That’s the part I learned too late.

After the start of this game this is a nice win
of course losing to the Royals should be grounds for contraction.
good timing sir.

Just left the ballpark -- on BART
That was some serious stinkeroo by the Royals — brain farting Rshai to 3rd, who then scores. Then getting a bases loaded comebacker and — instead of throwing to home, throwing it into the outfield, allowing 2 As runs.

of course. a win is a win.
and a loss is a loss.
But it’s been a while since I saw live such atrociously boneheaded plays by the opposition leading to A’s runs.
