"Hi. My name is Reka Morvay. I'm a psychologist and I'm going to talk to you today about how to find the perfect boyfriend. This is a very relative issue because: What is perfect? Somebody who is perfect for you may not be perfect for somebody else. So, the first thing you need to do is to be able to define your expectations in a relationship and see what it is, um, that is absolutely essential for you to have. Is it somebody, uh, who is very smart? Is it somebody who's very sporting? Or is it somebody who will take care of your self, uh, take care of you? Is it somebody who is very attentive and affectionate and, uh, will show their love for you, no matter what? So, you need to be able to prioritize, uh, these needs. First of all, you need to be able to find out what exactly it is that you're looking for in a boyfriend. You know, is it somebody who looks good? Is it somebody who is kind and affectionate? And then try to filter, uh, the possible candidates, if I could call them that, um, with this list in mind. Uh, but, another, uh, thing that I want to add is that there really are no perfect people. There may be a perfect match for you, or a pretty good match for you, because, I think, in every relationship, ah, it's normal to expect some level of conflict and, um, some, so, inevitably, even if you have somebody wonderful, there will be things that you don't like. There will be difficult times when you don't agree, um, so you need to be able to learn to handle these instead of just saying, well, this person's not perfect, ok, toss this relationship and find somebody who is perfect. Because, with that attitude, nobody will ever really be perfect."
