But I'm blessed with health, reasonable financial success, okay looks, talent, good friends, good family....

But love....it's just like I'm not cut out for it. I mean, "I" try...I really do. But it's just not in the cards for me. You know, on Everybody Loves Raymond, there's one episode where Robert says, "you know, for everyone, there's supposed to be that somebody special out there for them....I think I just need to wake up and accept, that that person isn't out there for me". That's how I feel. And I hate it when my friends tell me, "oh, you're a good catch....it'll happen for you". Yeah, "WHEN? When I'm 100?"

I know how you feel....but then, by some miracle, it *did* happen for me. After telling myself that I would be single for the rest of my life, I met the love of my life at 41... He's fabulous, but if you had asked me in years previous to describe my dream man he would not have met a lot of those (unrealistic) "requirements". And yet he's cute, smart, decent, funny.....and 12 years younger. But somehow, it works! I will keep thinking positively for you because I *never* ever expected it to happen for me
