I'm a sucker for romance and the last girl I was almost with (too long of a story to tell), in my opinion we had such a good romantic story, it was love at first sight, at least for me, across the parking lot type. From friends to more, to big adventures. But it did not work out.
I like this next girl I'm talking to and we have a lot in common and I could build a future with. But it doesn't have the same fire and excitement and feeling overall. I don't have a good story of how I met her or won her over, etc. It's probably a healthier one I admit, but I don't know if I'm over valuing a good backstory.
PS. Big How I Met Your Mother fan and the line that I think of a lot, unfortunately, is when Ted cancels his date with someone who is supposed to be perfect for him. "I don't want perfect, I want Robin" and I fear that's where my head is at.
