That is a tough one, though! I keep thinking of the situation in this book where the people initially know what they want in speed dating, but when they meet someone they change their priorities to suit what they have.
How do you know if you are just settling? With any choice, people, jobs, homes, situations? What if, without realizing it, you are thinking that any port in a storm is a good choice? It's slim pickin's anyway? Beggars can't be choosers?
