Everyone knows how exciting a new relationship can be. Discovering all the little eccentricities of one's newly beloved is wonderful. But at some point in a relationship, you notice that the cap is off the toothpaste and that your beloved farts. Does this signal time to move on or time to pick up the pace and try to regain that old magic?
If you have already observed a few warts through the love haze and decided that the person is still worth an investment, just remember "No One is Perfect." The real question that you must ask yourself is whether you can get comfortable with the flower sans bloom. The answer, of course, depends on the flower. Not every romance will culminate in a bouquet. Sometimes its best to smell the flower and move on. If the beloved (who at the time is not looking so beloved) demonstrates that he or she cares about you and treats you in a thoughtful, kind, loving manner while revealing his or her not-so-perfect self, it may often pay to hang in there and see what develops. Only romance junkies, keep discarding every flower they pick in hopes of a more perfect blossom.
