Consider dating outside of your "type"

Talking of strict checklists, if you've been dating numerous versions of the same "type" of person for a while, it might be time to open up your mind a little and see who else is out there. Sometimes we can be so keen on a certain prototype that we can keep pursuing them forever, but it won't change the fact that you perhaps aren't compatible with this person. Break out that "bad habit" and start enjoying the dating scene and you're likely to find the perfect person... and they probably won't be anything like your type after all. :)
