So, friends, we all hope to find a perfect companion and lover, but is that realistic? My mother used to say a woman or a man should not expect that they could settle for someone and then make them comply with their expectations. That is not the same as having a good starting point and growing together based on trust, love, and desire.
You probably have seen characters in a movie or TV program who seem to have waited too long for a perfect mate and are living alone. Maybe that describes you? Or, you have read a novel or a story depicting a character in a similar situation.
Doesn't this phrase ring true?
In an elegy titled In Memoriam A.H.H., Lord, Alfred Tennyson wrote the line,
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

Don't wait too long.
