You will meet someone when you least expect it
When you stop looking so hard, it will happen
etc.

Blah Blah....it just like the crap they feed you about it being in the last place you look....well why in hell would you keep looking if you find it?0 -
No,while it can happen I don`t think that is anywhere close to being accurate.0
-
Not in the slightest bit.0
-
nope. i think most people have to put some measure of effort into it otherwise they miss things. those statements are probably true for those "love at first sight" type encounters but of all the couples i know, that type thing only happened to 1 of them.0

That is what attached people tell me when I ***** about being single. Pretty sure the universe isn't interested enough in me to have that happen. lol0

Well, I believe it to the extent that I never leave home thinking I'm about to run into the love of my life, so I'm not expecting it at any given moment.
But in a larger sense, I'm 29, I'm single, and I don't want to be. So of course I am expecting to meet someone in the near future. I can't change that. And it is pretty much always people who are married or otherwise attached who come up with that garbage, anyway.0 -

I would bet that most if them will tell you that they met someone on their own without the help of anyone too.
What I have heard a lot over the years and almost universally untrue,a friend,family member,somebody brought them together.
Maybe the intention was not a relationship but regardless they didn`t just run into a guy/gal on the street and swept them off their feet like they want to think they did.0 -
I believe in it 1,000,000%~ ! Been there done that and have the T shirt to prove it! :drinker:0
-
I like the sentiment of it, but in reality who knows?0
-
This may be more true with women, but guys have to be a little more proactive. If I didn't try or keep my eyes open I wouldn't date at all.0
-
Nope.
I don't believe that there is one person for everyone either.0 -
No... maybe that's somebody's story but not necessarily true for everybody.0

It's my story. :flowerforyou:0 -
No way.0

It's my story. :flowerforyou:
See, I'm not sure if I've found true love just yet (but it's definately true LIKE :bigsmile: ) and I was dating, not really looking for something serious or for a boyfriend. It just happened. I didn't expect it at all... BUT, I was on a dating site which means I was looking.0 -
Well, I think it can happen that way. I believe in love at first sight. But i think it is a rather overused cliché to make single people feel better :huh:0

I think to a certain extent.0 -

There's no love at first site. There is infatuation, but not love. Unless you're simply loving someone for their looks.0 -

With those being said - eh I dont believe in love at first site. Lust at first sight is much more accurate. I do believe there is someone for everyone (if you want them in your life - it is a decision) if my sloth of an uncle can find someone. And no I do not believe you will meet someone when you least expect that. I have heard that for years and now almost 40 with NOTHING I wanted so much for in life (marriage, family etc) So NO I dont believe the crap spewed by others who are where they want to be or have what they have longed for.0 -

Well, I can only speak from experience and it's happened to me, so......nothing to do with looks, or infatuation. Just an overwhelming feeling of this is the 'one' as soon as I met him. Can't explain it, but who can explain why they feel love for someone anyhow? And 5 years later, I still feel the same about him. But obviously, its not reciprocated0 -
I don't believe in love at first sight either...
It can be lust or lust with amazing chemistry... but I think love takes time to bloom.0 -

Yeah, still not possible imo.
I'm sorry to hear though.0 -

Which is why I'm pouring some miracle grow on our date0 -

I know what miracle grow is... but I just pictured a Ch-ch-ch- chia pet.0 -
I think it's more that you're fed up with the dating scene when the "it'll come along when you least expect it scenario" takes place.. this presents better grounds for your chances of something working out because you're less emotionally involved in the whole damn mess because you're sick of it and don't put as much pressure on yourself for success.. and also you don't act all cray cray in the beginning and raise the warning flag alerts that scares people off.. and you also don't give two ****s about the dating formalities and generally skip them and jump straight into hanging out where you and the other person are more comfortable,0

Honestly... I think I've stopped believing in love and relationships all together. The best and happiest I have ever been was single. I had to work for everything I have and I'm not willing to take care of anyone, but me (and my kids, of course) anymore!0
-
I think it's a nice way of telling single people to shut up and quit whining about being single.0

Hey, I'm 45. Never married but plenty of LTR's. I never thought it would happen to me either...and to be quite honest, believed in it even before I found it (though to be fair I was starting to have serious doubts!)0
