Romantic Relationships: Meet, Greet, and What's "Good Enough"?

New York is wonderful. 

This city is populated with talented, energetic, bright and ambitious men and women who strive to feel successful in their work and personal lives.

But, that same pressure for "excellence" can become a barrier to finding satisfaction in romantic relationships.

Now, add into this mix the sheer density of potential mates in a city of 8 million.

Is it any wonder that finding and maintaining a "good enough" relationship is such a challenge in The Big Apple?

The humorist and actor Aziz Ansari has summed up this dilemma in his recent Time Magazine 

essay "Everything You Thought You Knew About Love Is Wrong".

Check it out to read a pithy summary of how the combination of unlimited dating choices (Tinder, Match, OKCupid), perfectionism and unrealistic expectations are frustrating the search for
meaningful companionship

Til next  time I hope you have time to slow down and breathe.....summer is here....enjoy.
