DateWell

Perfectionist Pinchas

“If it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong. I just can’t settle for ‘okay. What if there’s someone better out there?”
  • The anxiety of “what if” consumes her dating process
  • Slightest imperfection could be a dealbreaker
  • Feels there’s always something off
  • Tormented by the prospect of someone better out there
  • Ends up scanning for flaws instead of looking for connection
  • Compromise feels more uncomfortable than being alone
  • Accepting anything less than perfection feels like “settling”
  • If there’s even a small imperfection, is convinced won’t be happy

Emotion:

Anxiety + Fear of settling

Inner Mood:

Constant fear of settling keeps them trapped in a cycle of endless evaluation.

Disclaimer

We understand that in presenting these dating types, we risk causing offense. After all, we’re describing real people—people like you and me.

We want to be clear: we recognize this challenge, and we’ve worked hard to avoid hurting feelings. We’ve agonized over every word to be as sensitive as possible.

At the same time, we’ve prioritized being real and honest. Too many people are struggling way too hard for way too long, and our goal is to be straight-up about how internal patterns and mindsets can contribute to that.

We’re willing to be liked less if it means helping more. That’s why we didn’t always soften things if doing so would water down the message or reduce its usefulness.

That said, it’s entirely possible we got some things wrong. We’re open to hearing that, and we’re willing to apologize and revise. If you feel anything in the “So Me” types should be changed, please let us know.

We ask that you comment with the same level of respect and sensitivity you’d want for yourself. Together, we can help bring more happiness to Klal Yisrael.
