The fact is that you can't ask people to change,and even if they wanted to they couldn't do it. Sure, they can modify their behaviour, but they can't change their personality. You can't stop someone being irresponsible,or football-obsessed,or workaholic,or shy or easily stressed.
So if you can't live with these characteristics, don't get involved.whatever you do, don't embark on a relationship with someone thinking, 'I can't cope with this bit of their personality,but that's OK -I'll change it. ' You won't,you know. You'll just make both of you miserable.
No one is exactly perfect - everyone can be irritating from time to time in a relationship (including you) -but you're looking for someone whose irritating habits are worth putting up with, not for someone who you can mould to your personal requirements.
