I would date a guy for a few months and then couldn't imagine being around them long term so I'd break up with them. I gave up on dating in early 2000 and figured that I was one of those people who was meant to be on my own. Then, lo and behold, a few months later my now fiance came along. I resisted dating him at first, but now 3 1/2 years later we're getting married! He's the first person I haven't picked apart and I still love being around him. I personally consider it a miracle.

I thought the same thing a few months ago. Out of nowhere, she came. Someone from college whom I had never dated before and who was nothing more than a friendly acquaintance whom I always wondered what happened to. At random, her name was in a list I was searching. IN the last few months, I realized she was "the one." Hence, I'm relocating. She's worth it. It helps I found a better paying job there, too. The one is out there. "The one" found me when I quit looking. Out of the blue. My recommendation? Lose faith and hope. I did. Within a month of that happening, BANG!!!! She came into my life, where she will always remain. My wife is hotter than your wife.
