Mr. Right Now

All my life I've heard that I should look for Mr. Right, instead of Mr. Right Now. An effort to find a lasting relationship, someone I can marry, not simply date. A good Southern girl knows that ultimately it's not about finding a boyfriend, but finding a spouse, of course. The Mrs. college degree, albeit the degree I have yet to earn, gain, find, and any other verb you would like to interject.

But what is necessarily wrong with finding someone that adds something worthwhile to your life, even if it isn't forever? Even if you know that he's not the man who answers all of your dreams, only some of them? Is it not better to have someone in your life that completes parts of you, although he doesn't complete all of you?

Ironically, the past two relationships have ended with the same generic reasoning: I deserve more, better, but they just can't do more, better, RIGHT NOW. So, maybe I should be looking for Mr. Right Now after all?!
