Nischelle asked, “My little cousin said to me, it’s a guy and he’s in a relationship for kind of like the first time. And he would say to me like, ‘There’s a lot of things I love about her, there’s some things that get on my nerves about her. But when will I know it’s the one?’. And I’m like keep thinking about those and I can’t really give him an answer because listen I’m single and trying to be in love.”. “I’m not married but I’m trying to figure it out myself and I’m like I don’t know.

To which Shaquille O’Neal answered, “You have to be realistic about the situation. He probably wants the perfect one, but nothing or no one is perfect. You have to be able to adjust and for something you really don’t like, you have to have a man and woman conversation like, Hey I don’t really like that and can we get rid of it? And give her the same respect when she says, ‘Hey I don’t really like that’. And you know, if you are in a relationship for a certain period of time, you already have an inclination if this could be the one. You know when you know. And all that looking for the perfect one, trust me, let the daddy tell you, that sh*t don’t exist.”.
