The chances are that you won't find love in this lifetime. Very few people experience true love even once in life. And it's even more rare to marry that love. So, sorry to break your heart, but that's how life is. Honestly, you have just two choices. Either you wait for true love no matter how long it takes or you give up on love and marry someone as a practical compromise. That's the only thing in your hand. Love is not. Love is destiny. Love is a miracle. Love is the whole universe singing in one symphony for two special souls. Love is that rare, that, that rare. So either be crazy and wait for magic or be practical and adjust.
I have chosen to wait. Why? Because it's better to live in hope for real love than to live daily with a person you just pretend to love. At least, I will not have a regret that I chose this compromise. At least, I won't be stuck in a loveless marriage. At least, I won't have kids who have never seen their parents loving each other. At least, I won't add a number to the bulging list of people who don't believe that love exists. At least, I will have hope until my last day. And at least, I will not become a bitter mid-age adult who keeps cursing society and this social rule that everyone has to marry someone.
But with age, won't we need someone? Yes, you have needed people throughout. You needed a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, a cook, a maid, a tailor, a barber, and so on. So did you marry them all? What do you need, a person to talk to? Have you seen how passionately and romantically married couples talk to each other? Or do you need a partner with income? Why can't you earn your own money, then? Stop prostituting out your relationship status for money, please. Oh, you meant a person to take care of you, a person who loves you, and a person you can grow old with, right? But that happens only in true, real love. It happens only to the luckiest few. That's my point, either that love or nothing.
So how will I find that love? Love will find you, on its own. Maybe, someone reading this post will find you. Internet can be crazy. And love loves crazy.
