You sound like a romantic, and I guess your odds are the odds I'm talking about.
I've tried internet dating and it's been interesting; there are a lot of people looking. However to most; it's just another menu. And my last date turned me off of that forever.

I'll trust in Providence (if there is such a thing) to bring me a partner.
I see so many lonely people around me, but moreso of the married kind. Those that are married and are very unhappy. And that's got to be worse. We are all this one big "shift" now where we are learning new things everyday; and often painfully so. From politics, to the economy, to personal confrontations with bosses, parents and children....EVERYHTING has been ramped up while it tweeks those synapses in our brains and heart.
What times we are living in.
