Waiting for that special someone, and how they never seem to come.
TheDreamer Do you ever keep pondering when that special someone will come into your life? The one you have always been dreaming of, your other half? I have, and that person never seems to come. Wait as I may, in anticipation, hoping that that person will come, whoever they may be, and they don't. And then people ask me why I am still alone, or ask if I am dating anyone, and I answer in the negative:no. And then, the long stares, and the look of "Oh, your single. What a loser. Can't you get anyone?" And then, they say "That special someone will turn up. Trust me", and that special someone never materializes. It seems to me that single people just say that out of pity, and also because they find being around single people uncomfortable. They can't seem to accept that some people are single, and that not everyone has found hat special someone. My question is, though: does that special someone exist, or is it a figment of mine and other people's imagination? Is there really a soulmate out ther for everyone, or is that an urban myth invented by desperate old spinsters, who keep on waiting for Prince Charming to show up, but he never does, or a man who is waiting to be a woman's Prince Charming, and come and rescue his damsel in distress?



And don't you hate it when your friend is in a serious relationship, they forget about all their other friends, and the engagements they had with them, and concentrate on nothing but their relationship? It stinks, right? My sentiment exactly! And yet, I still dream of meeting someone gorgeous, charming, funny, witty, fun to be with, and adventurous and kind, and who will cherish me. To tell you the truth, even going on a date would be nice. I have never, ever been on a date, and this makes me anxious. I bet, like me, some of you have asked yourself, "What's wrong with me? Is it because I am not handsome/beautifull enough (making you wish you looked like Brad Pitt when he used to be good looking, like in his Troy days, if your a guy, or like Gisele Bundchen, if your a girl)? Is it because I am a freak? Do I smell? Am I unlovable? Bad with the opposite sex? Lame?" The list goes on and on. And people always tell you, "It's not you, it's them. They don't know what they are missing." But, what if the problem is not them, but you? People (especially friends and aquintances) never seem to be truthful when it comes to these things, since they do not want to hurt your feelings. At least it seems that way.



But, the question is: can we take criticism like we say we do? Or is it better for your friends to lie to you, and not hurt your feelings?

Love: Hmmm... tough questions. The best thing is to learn to live on your own and not feel that you need someone else to "complete" you. It's a paradox, but independent people are more attractive to others than needy people.

Love: I hope you don't mind me saying this but it sounds like you don't trust us. And I wonder why. Muhahahaha. *kidding
