The Perfect Case for Settling
Contributed by Karie
In response to Mr. Good Enough
Twenty-four inches of cold, powdery, wet, layered snow. Eight to twelve inches or more over the next day or so. Not being able to move your car without shoveling for hours. Definitely a job for a “Honey Do.” That’s about the only case I can argue for settling, lol. I seriously thought about it.
Being emotionally stuck for the rest of your lifetime with a person you are mildly attracted to and with whom you have no chemistry? That I can’t buy into. For me, love and attraction resembles magic when you’re with the right person. You don’t necessarily see it happening and you don’t exactly know how it’s done; it just appears. Magic is hard to duplicate with random choices.

My grandma used to say I was too picky when it came to women. She’d always say: “You’ll never get married with that attitude?”
Why would I wanna marry someone who is just ‘aiight?’ Settling makes no sense.
