My husband is NOT my "type" AT ALL - except being the perfect guy for me and an amazing husband. Married 12 years now and closer than ever. Best thing I ever did was to NOT be with "my type" (I didn't marry till age 40). I know other women with the same story. How'd he land me? He was determined, patient, and at the same time authentically happy to just be my friend. My son's father got me the same way. (P.S. I was in a relationship with someone else when they both started "pursuing" me.) How'd I land him? An affirmation I said for a year: "I'm with the perfect man for me, Paul (the guy I was with) or someone better, at the perfect time (which for me was 65, so I had no time pressure B.S.)." My husband and I met in a community that has a lot of courses on communication, sensuality and relationships, which also helped!! (Lafayette Morehouse)
I also agree with RendHeaven. Once you get happy with the way thing are, stop wanting something (or in this case someone, a partner) so badly, *poof* there it is! Blessings of trust, patience and miracles!
