You are SOOOOOO right. Just because you look, doesn’t mean you find either. I believe in luck, circumstance, being at the right place at the right time. I also believe that sometimes you fall for someone a the wrong time in THEIR lives. All in all, you are right, there are circumstances and sometimes they are murky. It’s not as simple as some posters make it out to be. Let’s not forget, you can find someone who wants the same thing, (i.e., commitment) you can be in a relationship, not going at a snail’s pace, but then somehow, for some reason it doesn’t work out. No one’s fault, no one did anyone wrong. You can go through a few of these. Does that make it that person’s ‘fault’?

“Singleness for 2 decades? Is a choice. It’s saying something to the world. And one of that somethings is loud & clear: ‘In the Past, No One Was Good Enough’.”

I strongly disagree with this, VJ. I know too many people who have devoted enormous effort to one LTR after another trying to find the right person, who have poured their hearts and souls into their relationships only to have things fall apart over and over. A few have succeeded in finding something that sticks. Others have not and are still dating, dating, dating, trying and trying and trying.

There’s a difference between entitled fantasizing and the reality that a good relationship is hard to find even for those who bust ass trying to find it. I know we’d all like to think that our efforts are directly related to the results but this is far less true of romance than other things in life IME. Yes we completed the bomb and the war in a few short years, and that has nothing to do with human love, and the world is a quite different place now than then.
