Why should you never fall in love with potential? Read on to find out!

One of the many mistakes you make is falling for someone who has the potential to be somebody, do better in life or do something great.

Often you see in the person what they cannot see in themselves. You see them do things that don’t make sense and doesn’t fit the image you have of them. And that usually piss you off!

Think about it!

If you have a child you understand what I’m saying. There are qualities, attributes and skills you see in your child that they can’t see yet. They have so much potential, but unless they see what you see, it doesn’t matter what you say or do, things will stay the same.

When you get involved with a man he better have eighty percent or more of what you need, or you should stay away from him. You need to know what you’re getting now, not what’s coming. Because if what’s coming doesn’t come you better be satisfied with what you currently have. If not, you will be dissatisfied with your selection of a mate.

That means you must take time to get to know the person. And getting to know a person has nothing to do with sleeping with them.

As I mentioned earlier, you must get to know his friends, family, talk and spend time with him. Make sure to pay attention to the details and the little things.

Often you overlook those things because he’s attractive, funny, fun to be around, and so on.

All you have to do is look at your past relationships and ask yourself, “How many of the men I dated actually lived up to their potential?” You will see over ninety percent did not live up to their potential.

Now you know to not settle for potential alone. It is only one of many things you must consider.

Remember, never fall in love with potential or you will set yourself up for another unhappy relationship.
