(Source: dad-isms.com)The other day I've written of not being in a relationship for the past 23 years. Well, to come to term with reality, that is the truth. I've watched people around me who have been in relationship and some - stayed on while some - broken up.
It's amazing how love and in a relationship with someone can either break or make your day. You'll never know unless you put your leg in the water and test it. I think I've delved myself too long with books that I sometimes look towards the fantasy and waiting for something that could never happen.
But is it wrong to wait and waiting for the right person to come along? Is it too much to expect something of someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with? Yes and no. Yes because as I said, you are going to spend the rest of your life with the woman of your choosing while it is also a no because I've consulted married men and they told plainly that love and marriage are not about the first few months you are together but it's more of how you can accept the other person's weaknesses and still love that person for who they are.
I've been in a short-lived relationship before - not even close to knock on the "in a serious relationship" door but just to test the water. But before it got too close, I doubted myself again and withdrew.
It's that moment of doubt that kept on haunting me and stopping me from doing what I felt was the wrong move but in reality, is it a wrong move though? I don't know.
That's why, whenever I watched How I met your mother where it tells the story of Ted (the main actor in the movie) as he searched for his "the One", I cannot help but feel his "fictional" life story is related to mine.

But have I ever given up on hope? No, I have not. I know someday the day will come when I will be meeting the person who I can be comfortable with, but maybe not today or tomorrow. This post actually shows how young I am in battling the world, but in essence, some truths are better to be shared with the world.
Very well, I'll work it out someday. As for now, I'm not losing hope but keep on searching and searching...
