But what if these lists have become too long and too unrealistic? What if expectations of finding the perfect match just isn&#8217;t achievable?<\/p>\n<p>Relationship expert Jay Diamond gives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbansocial.com\">UrbanSocial.com<\/a> her opinion about approaching dating. She explains that the biggest mistake singles make is expecting their ideal date to fulfil a long list of criteria. Doing this might seem like a good way to narrow down potential new matches, but it might also be ruling out too many great opportunities. She believes singles should be more realistic and open to who they meet. Jay recommends choosing a maximum of 3-5 must-have aspects that are really important to. Everything else should be regarded as a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. You can see what Jay has to say in her video below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Your Perfect Match <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Finding Your Perfect Match\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5rUYbcGyfb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It seems like so many singles are making the mistake of being too specific about their perfect match.
