Dear Teachers,
1. You deserve to find a woman who loves you with all her heart and soul and don�t you dare settle for anything less.
- What does �settle for anything less� mean here?
2. She did tell me that I made her feel like glass and she didn�t like that.
- �make her feel like glass� means �treated her like a princess�, right?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,

1. When a person resolves (settles) a dispute, he or she may take less than the full amount due just to put the dispute to rest. That is settling for less. Similarly, when a person takes anything that is not as good as what he or she really wants, it can be called settling for less.
Here, the speaker is saying, Don't take less than what you really deserve, "a woman who loves you with all her heart and soul."
2. I think it means, "She did tell me that I made her feel like she was fragile -- like glass -- and she didn�t like that."
