Fill in the Blank...

So basically in relationships I find I have a tendancy to fill in the blanks. Basically when I am dating someone they start off as my ideal (If they are on the marriage track.) What that means is that they are perfect and so I assume their response to anything would be the ideal. Obviously that is not the case, but that is how I look at it. This does lead to problems as every situation we have not encountered is a blank I fill in with my ideal response. The problem is that when reality does not match the ideal there is a let down, an realistically most times the reality does not match the ideal.

Obviously this leads to problems because reality is never that pretty. And even though I know this it never solves the problem that comes with the letdown. But what to do? Because honestly there is nothing I love more than that period of time when a woman is perfect. That is the absolute greatest time in the world for me, dates are perfect I "know" how she will react to every circumstance and it is absolutely perfect. She has so much grace and class, yet she is fun and serious at the same time, and definitely not annoying in the slightest. I know that this is insane, I do, it makes no sense at all.

But basically that is my conundrum, whatever I don't know when I like you I give you the benefit of the doubt and you become perfect. Damn pedastals and what not, and to my vicitims in the future I apologize for filling in the blanks. But I have found that reality is not always that much of a let down... and that's what I look for.
