If the love fits

Many singles fret over love relationship and many of them wonder if perhaps what they are asking for is wrong? It is not uncommon to see how some relationships can turn out to be so disastrous these days and perhaps it is this worrisome trend that is putting them off? Just recently I read that going on dates to meet that special someone is like shopping for shoes. You may find a shoe with an attractive design that catches your eye - or maybe even one that you feel is like a match made in heaven, but lo and behold, the salesperson informs you that it is not available in your size. So what do you do? Do you try on the smaller size and hope that it grows on you - that is like what some people have done being in a relationship that hurts constantly - some are able to endure it (maybe it doesn't hurt that much?) while others call it quits after some time and discard the shoe, no matter how good it looks in the beginning. Or perhaps after being informed by the salesperson, you would just continue to "shop" and hoping that maybe you might stumble upon something better? What if you decided on something less attractive but fits comfortably? Would you still have lingering thoughts about how that shoe that caught your eye would have been perfect if it had your size? Would you say to yourself, okay no choice I will just "settle" for this which is something less? Or would you be happy that it is still something you like and better still it fits perfectly? Or maybe as a last possibility, say hey there's no perfect shoe for you and settle for none?

Maybe that is what Leslie Pearl was trying to say in her song,
If the love fits, wear it baby
And if it feels good, put it on
And if it looks right then just maybe
This love we have is where you belong


Whatever it is, it is your choice, but don't forget that being in a relationship takes two to tango.
