I enjoyed reading your relationship post. and the comments.

from my perspective and experience, you are right on. those who walk around bracing themselves for The One and daydreaming of the bliss that will come with That One are sorely mistaken. True, there will be bliss when you find that person, and you will find a joy that on some days can make you feel like everything in the world is right (I know this from experience) but other days that person will trample you, or ignore you when you want to be loved, or not know what you need. And having that mentality that “you weren’t made to be alone” (which I think someone said in their comment?) leads you to an expectation once you ARE in that relationship that is impossible for said “one” to fill. we are not made to be alone, true, but that halfness should never, ever be sought to be filled by a human. it is filled by God alone.

I found the last boy who commented interesting. he seems to resolve not to date, and also seems pretty firm as to how his marriage situation will work out. someone should let him know that God rarely works how we anticipate or desire.
