Do You Need to Be a Whole Person to Date?

I think about this question a lot, because thing that people ask me is, do you need to be a whole person before you can date, or can somebody complete you? And so i would say, as a base line, acceptance is a huge part of relationships. If you get into a relationship expecting somebody will change, i think you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's ok if somebody can see the best in you and try to help you self actualize and become a better person, but that should come from a basis of acceptance where even if nothing changes, they'll still be happy to be with you.
