[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't settle, but don't fixate on some pie-in-the-sky checklist either. Huge red flags this guy is not right for you, and you have time to meet someone else.[/quote] You're 30, not dead. I was told by my already married younger sister that I shouldn't be single after 35. So, I found someone who seemed to meet a lot of my criteria but had some serious red flags (including major conflict with my family, family dysfunction of their own, and, as it turned out, a serious drinking problem). I thought all of those could be fixed and would get better once we were married. I was wrong. Two very bad years later we separated. After that I met someone fantastic. We dated, got married and have wonderful children. Pay attention to the red flags, but also think about your criteria. Think about what are "nice to haves" vs "must haves" and then apply a realism filter to it. [/quote]
