Let’s talk relationship compatibility

I spent years chasing after what I thought was the perfect woman, only to realise that was something which doesn't exist.

The woman I have just fallen in love with is very caring and thoughtful and funny. She's interesting to talk to and is very strict about her Buddhist beliefs, which I'm totally fine with. The first day we met, she stopped to help me when I was walking down a road in the hot sun. We met again 2 days later and both of us realised that on our first meeting, neither of us had taken any notice of what the other one looked like. We were just both attracted to each other's energy.

If you're hoping to grow old with someone and your attraction is purely based on what someone looks like now, you'll be very disappointed as time goes on. It's much more important to love and respect the person and to enjoy their company. In my opinion.
