There is no pleasing this woman.* She looks at you and observes potential unfulfilled, possibilities unattained. There's no way around it - she sees you as a compromise, a worthy non-profit cause goofy enough to love, not smart enough to admire. We muddle through, chatting up an acceptance storm, nibbling on settling-brand cheese, drinking best-I-can-get wine. Who cares, it's approximately where everyone else is at, right?
It's a downer scenario. There are plenty around like it; indeed, I've been in at least one affair like this. But I'd like to offer some optimism. There is hope if we recognize the following:
1. Love is waking up every morning wanting nothing more than to make the other person's day better.
The difference between dalliance and to-die-for is motivation.
*Obviously I am not impugning the fetching Miss W, shown. She's a paragon of selflessness.
