Intellectually stimulating people can be found all over. Though she can't meet all of your needs in that department, you may be able to find that need through friends (heck that's what they're for!), and not need it from her. Is that something that you must have from a partner? Prioritize your needs for a partner. Does she meet those highest on your list or those lower on your list?
