"But he's the right one, the one & only one, the one that I am destined to marry," my friend whinned in a tearful voice over the phone.
Her 'one and only guy' had gone dancing with someone else.
I tried to calm her down.
I really don't believe there is just one person for each of us. What there is is one person that is right for today. Tomorrow? Well, it will take care of itself.
Never settle for the first 'love' that comes along. Just enjoy it and let it last as long as it may. Learn from it. Take the good parts, leave the bad.
Rinse, repeat. Clean and learn.
We had a glass or two of wine, a light dinner tonight and talked. With the next sunrise or two I know she would let the 'one and only' go and find another when it is right. He wasn't good enough for her. He wasn't ready. Nor was she; but I couldn't tell her that. All I could really do was be there for my friend.

There is...you may never find him...but your perfect partner is there, somewhere. When I say YOU, I mean all of us.
As I age I am getting much, much more picky about the guys I even want to spend time with . . . let alone turn into a partner.
