There are no guarantees in life. However, I will say that one's attitude is often a determining factor in "success" or "failure". Knowing that you may never find the "perfect" match for you shouldn't be a surprise, but then again, failure to try will almost certainly guarantee failure to find. Personally, I've looked for years on this site and others, and in person. I've meet some nice, interesting people, and I've meet some not so nice or interesting people. At times I've spent a lot of time looking, at other times I just said "to hell with it". For a time. In the end, when I did find "the one", I couldn't believe it at first. It was just too good to be true .... I had to slap myself, mentally . I tried all the test, all the "tricks" that I knew to confirm or deny, to catch her, and make her expose her "real self". Fortunately for me, her "real self" was the one she was showing me. Yes, I've found what I was looking for, after years of thinking, soul-searching and looking. And it's a match that is so excellent that it's one that I never realisticly expected, although I had always kept a forlorn hope out for it. It not based on fantasy, but a realistic and deep appreciation of what we both want, and what we both need. It is based on years of being in relationships that weren't what we both wanted or needed. It was easy to recognize because of all the people and relationships before that weren't successful. Those people and relationships that "didn't work out" were the fire that purified our souls, and our self-understanding. So even the most difficult and unfufilling relationship we had before were a positive thing in the long run, and helped forged our understanding of what we truly wanted and needed. ahhh, yes, I have truly found my treasure.
