He Ain't Mr. Right- He's Mr. Right Now!

Dear "It" Girl,

Regarding Mr. Right Now, Carrie Bradshaw once said: "He was like the flesh and blood equivalent of a DKNY dress. You know it's not your style but it's right there, so you try it on anyway." - Sex and the City

Ah, yes, Ms. Bradshaw captures a very common desire of the modern day “It” girl, namely enjoying the “meantime” by having fun with Mr. Right Now.
Often, Mr. Right Now has personality traits and life circumstances that are more wrong then right for you. For some, his wrongness,coupled with his convenience, make him that much more irresistable.

If you aren’t worried about a biological clock ticking and can wait to make your debut to the alter, there are some benefits of trying such a man on for size. Remember every man with whom you date, mate, and relate has the potential to provide you with valuable learning lessons on yourself, life, relationships, sex, and love. He'll also make great stories for your friends. Enjoy while you can, as this too shall pass!

Love, Rachel Russo, MS, MFT
