A thought that was both soothing and a bit somber appeared to me lately.
Finding the right person is just so incredibly influenced by pure chance and fate. Of course I can create opportunities to increase my odds, but if someone being able to truly be in compatible for a long term relationship with me (which is the only thing I want dating wise) eventually never comes along, then there's ultimately nothing to be done about it. You can't force anyone to be able to connect with you on a more than platonic level. Maybe the right person is already happy with someone else. Maybe I just got unlucky and wasn't at the right place in the right time.
Maybe it's also my preference for wanting to know someone on a certain level before deciding whether they'd be suitable for a relationship that's decreasing the odds. Maybe my appearance isn't appealing to the person I'd get along with and it's sorted out hefore it even had the chance to begin.
If it's not meant to happen, then it's just that fact for me to accept and nothing else.
