Happiness is a life long pursuit. What makes one person happy is not always the same thing and what makes you happy will likely change over time. That you are adjusting what you are seeking from a partner is, for me, just a natural consequence of a change in what makes you happy. Also, unless you have some sort of desire for your life to be turned into movie, then there isn’t any special prize for couples that are wildy romantic and passionate.

Well put, thanks for the thoughts, Ali.
You're right, we evolve in dating just like we evolve in life.
Have I given up on the possibility of a crazy spark? No. But am I at looking at dating through a different lens? Yes (well, for now, anyway!)
