Before I had met my husband, I was preparing for a life time of being alone. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship. I had been alone for almost two years and I figured that how it was going to be. That's what I was prepared for. My husband and I got together completely on accident. He was outside moping about his then girlfriend and the fight they had had over July Fourth weekend and I had run out of cigarettes and had to go out to my car for another pack. I sat down for a cigarette and we just started talking and we've been together ever since. I believe that it will get you when you are completely and totally not looking for it. I was determined to stay alone when I met him. I thought all men weren't worth the effort, the time or the heartbreak anymore. I knew I couldn't anymoe. The next time around would just kill me. I don't worry about that with my husband. I don't have to. He does all the little things to keep my mind at ease, he lets me know everyday that he thinks I'm beautiful and smart and sexy and that he loves me. They are out there. It'll just get you when you least expect it. It still does happen in todays age and I thought I was searching for a needle in a haystack.

There is no "right one". There is a "one you can tolerate". Aim for finding someome you you respect and have fun with & even that is next to impossible.

No, there is no "one person for everyone". In my opinion, part of the reason that there are so many early marriages and so many divorces is because women have bought into the Disney version of how love is supposed to be. You're probably not going to fall head-over-heels for someone at first sight. And even if you do, chances are, it won't last longer than three months.

"Every relationship that you are in is going to fail until one doesn't." Wise words from Dan Savage.

Oh, we can find him. The point is, we tend not to redcognise him because cultural pressures encourage us to seek Mister Perfect instead, so we walk straight past Mister Right. If he makes you happy and is good for you, you have found him.

Mister Right exists. Mister Perfect does not. If there is someone who makes you happy and is good for you, don't pass him by for an idealist's dream perpetrated by the media in our culture. Right-reality: Perfect-Fantasy. Keep fantasy where it belongs, in your head, and right where it is, in your real life. Is that what you were really asking?

Mr. Right is a myth. No man can live up to the image of a "perfect man." However, you can find Mr. Right for You. Find someone you like and respect before you have sex. The sex just clouds the issues too much. Once you find the guy that you can have fun with, not be embarassed by, and disagree with and still be friends, then see if the chemistry is right. I've been head-over-heels in love from first sight; it burns out and there's nothing left after the blaze calms down. I found a friend when I wasn't looking, and it turned into the best relationship of my life. (8 years and still strong)

There isn't just one Mr. Right. Look for someone you love and respect and build something with him. He'll become your Mr. Right and you'll become his Mrs. Right.

There are lots of Mr. Rights around. I don't believe in just one single person, I think there are a lot of people out there who could be right for you. Keep up hope and keep looking!
