Is it normal to lower your expectations to a reality level when it comes to choosing a partner? You are not as awesome as you think. You are not the person that you think you are. Some things just don't matter?
I lowered my expectations a lot with my last boyfriend, and it was really hard and upset me a lot, but I thought that 'no-one can ever be perfect' however, there is a difference between compromise and thinking you're not good enough to have a relationship that suits your needs.
So I'd say, it's normal to not expect your partner to be perfect, but just make sure you don't compromise your own self worth for the sake of not thinking you're good enough.
You should tell this to some of the people on dating sites. I used to know people who had ridiculously high expectations and refused to acknowledge that the ones they pursued were way out of their league. They then had the nerve to wonder why no one was answering their messages. If they would of lowered their standards a little they could have had a date, but they refused and instead whined about how "men are dogs" and "women are bitches." lol
