There is this common saying in the dating scene; look for a person that "ticks off all your boxes." And often, those "boxes" are related to their career, their financial and social status, where they went to school, whether they own a house, what type of car they drive, and are they good looking or beautiful, etc. 

The issue is that these "boxes" are materialistic.

If you based your love solely on materialistic things, that 'love' will never last. Genuine love and authentic partnerships require both souls to ignite with intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and physical chemistry, admiration and respect for one another, and trust. And the timing … "Timing is everything."

It takes a strong and confident person to have the patience to wait for what they deserve. Know what you want, know your worth, seek for partnerships that fill your CART and never settle for mediocracy.
