Sure, I'll throw my two bits in on this one.
A good friend of mine, who lives in Massachusetts here in the US, is very close to what the poem describes. With one exception - he's straight. Thing is, he's never been able to keep a girlfriend because every woman he's dated thinks he's too good to be true and ends up dumping him! The poor guy...he has a heart of gold, is exquisitely beautiful, is truly an amazing man...and is as single as the day is long!
My friend serves as an example that maybe we don't really want what we think we do; so often, when we actually have the chance to have it, we tend to run hard and fast in the other direction. It's ironic, but something I've noticed in myself, as well as others. The difference with me is, I'm aware of that "too good to be true" mentality, so it doesn't run me.
Not so long ago, I was blessed and privileged to meet one of the most extraordinary souls I've encountered in my life. We are quite alike in the way we think, in our goals, dreams and aspirations, and so far are meshing together quite well. It's to the extent that it's difficult for me to imagine my life without him. He's a huge contribution to me; he makes me think, lights me up, and inspires me. And he keeps me grinning like a fool from ear to ear!

Things are just starting out, and I can't wait to see where we go from here! Is he the "perfect" man? Heheheh. Well, we all have our strengths and our short-comings. I think perfection is too much of an ideal. And though he and I have our differences, we both recognise each other as extraordinary people. As well, I see qualities in him that aren't so apparent to others, and that's all that matters to me.
