Settling Down or Just Plain Settling
If I asked you to describe the perfect man, what would you say, ladies? Or men, what about the perfect woman? My checklist looks a little like this… Click Here. And the funny thing is we tell ourselves we have “high standards” and that settling is bad. Our loved ones tell us never to “settle…
