Somewhere in the vast wilderness of the world, there is your someone; someone who will make you a somebody. There is a man who is desperately searching for you, or a woman who is hopefully waiting for you to find her. He or she is your true pull-apart, your other half, your destiny. He or she is in every bit as much turmoil in their quest for the perfect woman or man as you are in your quest for the perfect mate. Somehow, you both know you are each out there, so you continue the search. You need to find him as much as he needs to find you. Sadly, the chances of you both finding each other range from dismal to...turn around, there he is.

It can be a lot for anyone to ask of another human being to wait, it will happen. We are designed and built for companionship and for the nurturing of a committed relationship. Our nature is one of sharing and loving and being loved. To allow that to happen requires a perfectly balanced relationship. How long must we wait for the inevitable to happen? What must we endure as we wait? When can we find love?

The questions and doubts are multiple. Most of us think and feel the same way. All we want is a good man or a good woman. We want someone we can trust and love and who will love us back. We want someone we will be proud of and will be excited to help raise our children. It isn't asking for a lot. It is only asking for fate to deal us a winning hand. We are so preoccupied with finding love that in our impatience for the right relationship to happen, we often end up settling for something less.

Settling for something less can often be the beginning of an ultimate breakdown. At first glance our choice may seem like the one we are meant to be with. There is no failproof method to help us discover if we have indeed found our true love or not. We can only try, believe and wait. However, when it really does happen, when you really do fall into the perfect ones arms, you will know immediately. Nature will tell you that you are where you belong.

It is instinctive for us to want to have a relationship, procreate, and raise a family. That's just the way things are programmed. Sometimes, rather than wait too long for the perfect relationship or perfect man or woman, we may tend to settle for something less. Not that the something less will be so bad. The person we end up with may be a good person, whether they are that one true love or not. However, they will not be the total
