Finding Someone to Compliment You Instead of Supplementing You

Everything in your life is going well. A successful career, a new home, and even a handful of the best friends you could ever ask for. Yet, something is lacking. You've realized you invested so much into creating your own empire, that you have no one to share the benefits with. Now you're looking for someone to compliment you.
Though, often times we're looking for someone to supplement us rather than compliment us. We've all known someone like that at some point in our life; that one individual that is always jumping from relationship to relationship in search of "the one" who will complete them. Only you can decide when it's the right time to introduce someone into your life, but there are a few things you can do to make sure.
First, realize your direction in life. Know what you want and don't want ahead of time. What is it that you're looking for in a partner? How many times have we all heard that infamous line; we just don't want the same things. Knowing what you want and your potential partner want in the beginning will ease any tension later on down the road. People's wants and needs do change from time to time, but communicating this is key to any long lasting relationship.
Secondly, know how much time you are willing to invest in your relationship. If you want it to be casual in the beginning, lay it out there. Honesty and open communication are essential to any relationship. In the end, this will spare any hurt feelings. If there hurt either way, at least you can walk away knowing you were honest from day one.
Thirdly, don't expect your partner to conform to your ideas of what they should be. Remember you are looking for another being to share experiences and possibly your life with, and not a droid. They are their own individual with their own personality. If you wanted someone just like you, perhaps you should consider being asexual. Yes, asexual is actually an orientation.
There are many things that you can do to make sure you are ready to venture out into the dating world again. You don't have to go jumping off of blind man's leap. Dating should be fun and exciting. Though, at times it can be scary as well. It takes two complete individuals to make a whole relationship. Just remember, find someone that compliments you instead of supplements you.
