I like him -- no I don't -- yes I do. . .

Okay, maybe I like him. But then why do I keep picking him to pieces? Why do we fall for someone and then feel some need to disect them -- in an effort to find what's wrong because there must be something wrong?

I've met this great guy. He's tall, dark, handsome, sexy, respectful, delightful, delicious, smart, funny, successful, etc. And just when I'm happy thinking all this wonderful stuff about him, my brain does this thing -- it's thinks of something -- the one thing -- that's wrong. And it focuses in on it like a laser. And then it tries to find more. Even though I logically know that all humans are flawed and I, myself, am not perfect, why must I pick apart this beautiful man? Why do we do this?

It's getting annoying. Why can't I just revel in his wonderfulness and be happy? Am I crazy or is this just part of the process of dating?

It's part of the process, we all do it to a greater or lesser degree...I think Mr. Smith was right when he said we delight in being miserable...we need to see the negative, rather than focus on the positive.

It's destructive, we look at what we don't have instead of what we do.
