The trick is not to decide that you can overlook the flaws, but to decide that you choose this set of flaws, that you can love the person with these particular flaws and you can commit to those flaws making you a little nutty for the next fifty-odd years.
Definitely.
One of my friends described his attitude towards a mutual friend, "I'm a friend of his but I'm not blind to his faults."
Being blind to a person's faults seems somewhat dangerous for many, many reasons. And being blind to your own, even more so. Being able to find people whose faults are acceptable to your own way of thinking, has to be key. Even in friendships. Else you can connect but you will lose trust, I'd think.

Seems like a similar attitude applies to romance.
