Merc---things have a way of working themselves out. One can not force a relationship or hope too much. Just go about your daily routine and it will happen in time. Everone has a soul mate out there and you will find her or him (J/K about him)
35 yrs on this earth and it took me 30 to find mine. Or I might say we found each other. You and the girl that will be your soul mate will know when it is right. It will be love at first sight for the both of ya. After I met my wife_jennifer we have not been apart one day.
