The difference is, there's probably over a million people that could be your "one" .


That being said, I want my 100 million, I lost this week, but I'm feeling the win next week, powerball or megamillions, i dont care!

Utterly specious analogy. I know you said it as a joke, but you have so many lonely, self-doubting people on this Forum, they may take it as the literal true and get even more down!
You see some people are just happy for being in a relationship. So the odds of that couple you see so happy. Odds it is just lust for the time being. Show me a couple where it is not lust and then I will say they are the right couple.

I'm modest. I'd be OK with hitting the Powerball.

I've always been of the opinion that there's more than one "right" person for everyone on the planet.. because if there REALLY WAS only ONE person compatible with me, I'd be SOL trying to guess where to start looking.

And yet I'm probably compatible with several million young women my age.

I find the right one every night; but the mornings keep telling me she's the wrong one.

Of course there is no guarantee that your potentials aren't all clustered together on another continent, but there you go.

Yes and isn't it only the good people who got to be taken away? So that leaves us who aren't so good.
