When you're dating, it's important to have some non-negotiables. Not so many that you won't likely find anybody, but enough so that you can filter out people who just are never going to work for you. And for me, one of my non-negotiables is teeth. I live in the UK, so teeth is a really big significant issue for me because dental just dental anything here is really expensive. And as a result, a vast proportion of the population ignore their teeth, which means that there are lots of people with missing teeth, rotting teeth, just bad teeth in general. And people laugh when I talk about teeth because they say, well, you're living in the UK, how are you going to find anybody with decent teeth? But you know what, that's my non-negotiable and I'm sticking with it.
