Let's see in short category form:

I'm not having surgery to make myself acceptable to someone
I'm not going to change my values to make myself acceptable to someone
I'm not going to invest in a relationship based on my ability to change in order to progress the relationship
I'm not going to change habits that I know are good and necessary for me (going to church, brushing teeth, etc)

Basically this. For the most part, take it or leave it. If they are very invested in a particular hobby, I might try that out.

I intentionally select companions who are willing to help me grow and tell me hard truths. I test this during our acquaintance and gauge his perspective on controversial issues. I can’t respect his leadership if he minces words or encourage him to tackle difficult subjects if I lose my head.

I see my connections as divinely forged and look for opportunities for growth and betterment. Whether it’s through a friend, partner, or prospect. I’m not rigidly attached to much because He may have a better end in mind. Bucking the progress is pointless.
