99% of the relationships we have through dating will fail but that's what dating is, trial and error. Unless you are one of those weirdos who fell in love with and married the first person they ever dated. That's just weird and incredibly rare nowadays but congrats to you if that is the case. Where was I? Oh yeah, it's that 1% that can change a persons whole life. 1% is the difference between "I don't want to see you anymore" and "I love hanging out with you, let's make a 2:00 am trip to the Waffle House on a work night."
We always hear all the sayings like "There is plenty of fish in the sea" and "God makes the perfect person for everyone" but it was my mom who told me the most truest thing I had ever heard about love, "It will happen when you least expect it." At the time I took it as the normal supportive mom b.s. but it wasn't until a couple years later I realized that what my mom had said was completely accurate, at least in my case it was. Classic right place at the right time and exactly when I least expected it.
I won't go into the whole story and bore you with it but it is important to know that had I not went to Borders on that certain night I may not be where I'm at today with my amazing wife, our son and living in the house we purchased together that we now call home. Had I gone to Barnes and Noble or Half Priced Books I would have not seen my now wife working behind the counter and been able to reconnect with her and accomplish all the things we have together. It is important to note that before I ran into said wife again at Borders on that fateful night in the middle of the holiday shopping season, we had know each other from our time working together at Wendy's as teenagers and in fact were each others Prom dates our senior year. That is really the kicker to it all. The fact that this person from my past is now the person that will be my future.
The point I'm trying to make with this post is that break ups suck, dating sucks, trying to find the best possible person to spend your life with sucks, but when that person is finally found then it makes all the bad relationships seem worth it. You gotta go through the bad to get to the good. picking up people in a bar is fun if you are trying to take the choo-choo train to naughty town but not the ideal place to meet your soul mate. Dating websites might have worked for a few but I really don't buy the commercials. It's your life to go about finding real love the way you want but from my experience the harder you look, the harder it is to find. Sometimes you just gotta live your life and just let it happen.........when you least expect it to.
