Don't you hate it when someone says to you "I don't know what I'm looking for but I'll know it when I see it"! But, yes, I know we've all said that. Well, if you don't know what you're looking for in the first place, how would that even be possible? It sounds like a guy's excuse after every woman in the bar turned him down. (Which would be the equivalent of saying "I could've finished that marathon if my shoes hadn't been so tight".)
With women, it's usually heard during a desperate search for a new dress, a new pair of shoes, you get the picture. With guys it usually applies to the quest for a new toy of some sort (animate or inanimate). But from time to time, we use the same statement to apply to our quest for love. And that's where it can turn into a double-edged sword. It's possible that if we don't know what we're looking for, then what we're looking for is looking right at us. Or to the other end, what we think we're looking at is not truly what we see. Seeing double yet? No problem. Grab another cup of coffee, re-focus and you should be fine.
You see, we all claim to know what we're looking for but time after time when that very thing walks up and kisses us on the cheek what do we do? Ever seen a deer in the headlights? Yep, you got it. We freeze, and our eyes glaze over. Kinda like your kids' look when you're trying to figure out whose idea it was to wrap tin foil around the cat's feet.
So then, what are we to do? For one thing, don't worry about spending money on a trip to the eye doctor. This is one part of vision he can't help you with. And, if you see love standing there in your rear view mirror, it always looks better in 20/20 hindsight. Just try not to back over it.
