Don't lose hope, guys. I followed this philosophy for years and... it failed quite a bit. About 6 failed relationships, if I remember correctly. However, many years later I finally met that one weirdo that accepts all of me. Had I given up, maybe I wouldn't have met her. Those failed relationships weren't a waste either, because I learned something from each of them. One taught me I needed more patience, another taught me that I'm still allowed to feel frustrated and not to deny my own feelings and so on. Just keep trying and keep moving forward.
