I agree, you can't "remake someone" to fulfill your needs. Love is give and take, and when you love someone you try to please them. Sometimes one partner is unable to fill all your needs.. this is where you accept them or take what is offered. I am having a difficult time explaining this. the phrase ":fill all your needs" doesn't really express that sentiment well. Allowing the other person to blossom into their true self? while in a loving sharing relationship?

I agree--it's OK to explore having a different kind of relationship than you were thinking you wanted. If you insist on every detail of your "perfect relationship with the perfect person" you might be too rigid, & you also may end up staying single. Look at each situation & each person with an open mind, or you might pass by something wonderful.
