i am shallow and superficial

i feel terrible!  i had a date with the nicest guy today!  we have a lot in common and the conversation never stopped.  we just met up for coffee and it was nice!  but, he has messed up teeth.  like, discolored and he could use some braces.  i can’t get past the teeth!  i’ve dated guys with messed up teeth before, but never this bad.  and i WANT to like him.  we could have a lot of fun, but the teeth thing really bothers me.  as soon as i got home, i added "beautiful, straight, white teeth" to my list of qualites i have for my soulmate.  i reread what i had previously written down and he had a LOT of the qualities that i am looking for.  he is close to his family, has a degree, wants to get married and have kids, etc.  but, he didn’t have all of them.  and, if i am to use the law of attraction correctly, i know that the person that i am supposed to be with will have ALL the qualities i am looking for.  we talked about maybe going out to dinner soon and i think i’ll do that and see if i can get past the teeth thing.  if not, i’m going to have to find a way to let him down nicely and move on.  i read a quote yesterday that said "everytime you date someone with an issue that you have to work to ignore, you’re settling."  i don’t want to settle.  if i can ignore the teeth, i will be good.  if not, i need to move on.  i feel so bad, teeth aren’t everything, but its something that i want in my soul mate.  sigh.

random: Yeah the teeth thing would be huge for me too… but as hard as it might be… if you do have to let him down I’d tell him the reason why so maybe he can get them fixed?!?!

I must have pretty decent teeth too. I can’t let that slide.

Random: Teeth are important, but if the guy has allllll the other qualities, then maybe the dental stuff can slide? Wouldn’t it suck if this was the one but you didn’t give him a chance cause of his teeth? Like the other person said, teeth can be fixed. Good luck!
