As I told Jeff, I completely and shamelessly ripped this off of his blog because...i was going to write it (one day?..) but he graciously and unwittingly saved me the trouble :P...well done, Jeff.
Why Are Single People Single (or How To Find Your Soul Mate)
We're all neurotic, we've all got idiosyncracies. But it all comes down to one thing...
In order to find that lifelong relationship, we need to find one person who's willing to stick life out WITH us. And we need to stick it out with them.
Life is hard on relationships. It throws alot of curveballs, and is relentless. But if you are willing to commit to a person, if you are willing to be with that person through thick and thin, then you are on the right track. That's the answer to finding that soul mate.
It's that simple.
I hate this idea that's splashed around on Sex and The City, Friends, Laguna Beach, or whatever your favorite show is. It's the idea that we are all looking for that perfect person. And I wonder if that idea is the reason there are so many older singles. The ideal of that "perfect person" is ridiculous. Perfect people don't exist. As I said earlier, we all carry around our set of hurts and idiosyncracies. We are all damaged goods. We are all hopelessly lost and wandering.
But there is magic in that commitment to another human being. In that commitment, there is unconditional love that says "you are not perfect and I'm not perfect but we're committed to each other with knowledge of our imperfections."
So find that person you're willing to make that kind of commitment to. Commit to them. You'll find your soul mate.
