" Does it sometimes feel like you're the only single person left on the planet (at least within your group of friends or co-workers)? When dating disillusionment hits, it's time to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and remember some of the reasons why the right relationship is worth the wait.... Ready?
1: You know what you want.
Your experience allows you to make an informed decision when it comes to most aspects of any relationship, including planning a perfect wedding, someday. You've no doubt been to (or in) enough weddings, or knew someone who's married at this point to know the mistakes to avoid — in other words, you won't be doing an e-mail survey of your friends about china patterns, or best honeymoon package deals. You may even be confident enough to bag the wedding thing altogether and do something crazy — like elope, and save your money for something good like enjoying life.
2: You're older and wiser.
Having not found someone early in life that made you happy, now that your over 35. You run a lesser chance of you and your partner growing apart, or of being totally sick of each other by the time you're 60. Good news for your future marriage!
3: You haven't settled!
You deserve to get what you want, and if you have to hold out for it, then so be it. Settling for a relationship that's only so-so is selling yourself short, and it's a recipe for a failed marriage/life. The right person is out there — and that relationship is worth the wait.
4:You still get to look forward to that sensational moment of finding the one.
You don't know who, you don't know when, and you don't know where. Now that's pretty exciting, and worth waiting for. That first-kiss, first smile, first flirt, first hug....And last but least...When you have fireworks in bed together, and you can't keep your hands off each other. Thats when you know you have found the ONE!!
Now this is what I need and want in my life, makes me feel a bit better. I am worth having and someday I will find someone who makes me want to give them a chance to be with me, till then..Guess I will just follow these rules..."
