If you can give me a name l will help you locate them. How long have they been missing?

Doubt it.

I think that might be rare. My experience has been different partners for different stages or places in my life.

I stopped trying about a year ago and just let myself be now. I'm honestly a lot happier than I was when I was pressing to find that special person, going on dates every week, spending tons of $$, putting up with busloads of crap and deceit. Now I focus on being a good father to my daughters and living life as happily as I can for us. Do I hope that that certain woman will come into my life? You bet. But I'd rather it happen naturally or just not at all at this point.

I want to be all sappy here and say one day you and a barista at a non chain coffee place will lock eyes and realize you like the same music, authors and cartoons.

But, I also know there are no guarantees.

But, also, The One and I did find each other. Even though it didn't work out, it was an amazing periord in my life.

Summation: Enjoy the people in your life. They might not be the one, but they have something to offer and you do, too.
