Is it truly possible to find a good man or woman and fall in love? I'm beginning to think that I'm meant to be eternally single. I just keep meeting the wrong guy and making the same mistakes...those mistakes being trusing too easily and putting too much into men. You know, maybe some people are destined to be alone...I mean, not everyone will find someone, right??

Yes. But if your *goal* is to find someone to fall in love with, it will never happen.

I disagree. I believe we should all have goals in life, and there's nothing wrong with one of those being "find someone to love."

I think when it becomes an obsession, and you live your life solely with the purpose of "finding love" to the exclusion of all else, that's when you are more likely to be disappointed. Things don't always happen on our perfect timetable, and sometimes it's best to just live in the meantime. Have the goal, but as just one goal of many.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

"Is it truly possible to find a good man or woman and fall in love? "

It does seem to happen to other people, especially when they aren't really trying.

"I mean, not everyone will find someone, right??"

Unfortunately, I think this is true. Some will be very lucky in love, others will find fortune in other areas of their lives. No one can really predict which area their wealth will happen.
