how much???

[fallen angel]

heres a hard one...

how much are you willing to risk to find the love of your life?

or is what wont you risk to find the love of your life?

...now that i find myself celibate and single...looking for my soulmate...no longer doing the casual sex/dating thing...
i feel like i have more to lose...
back then... i would jump into anything...i would take the risk...hey...it was only time to lose anyways...
but now...i proceed with caution in everything...risking anything is a scary thought...when your heart is at stake.
..but then..they say everything worth it..is worth the risk..
the bigger the risk the better.... but is that really a smart thing to do in todays society??

..so here i am stuck in limbo...

wanting the rewards so badly... but is afraid to take the risk.....

Nothing.

Yeah, you heard me. Nothing.

We have to live for ourselves, becuase when someone else DOES come and stir things up inside you that nobody else can, someone has to be there to open the door and let them into your life with you. And if you're out on a search/quest/whatever, you've suspended your life, and will have been wasting your time, and possibly even deflecting a soulmate away with your preoccupation with searching.

As they say, Try to find love, and it will evade you. Try to evade love, and it will find you.

As I have experienced firsthand. And am all the better for it :D

good post kash but in some ways i might beg to differ..
remaining celibate might be the choice for some (but by not keeping your eye out and investing the time to search for her, there will more chance than u just sitting there. 1/10 might attract you, 1/10 of those might be attracted to you, one out of ten might have mutual chemistry, 1/10 might wanna live with you and maybe 1/10 might wanna grow old with you thick and thin!
Thats only 1/100,000 might be your potential soulmate...thats not very good odds so u gotta get off your butt and try to find her ...hopefully she might be doing the same...that might help increase ur very slim odds of finding her!

Slim chances? Not hardly.

Think of all the people you know. Everyone. Each person in every family. Write them down. Even people you just talk to during classes or on breaks or whatever.

You'll get well over 1000 people, unless you stay inside A LOT. I know this number from experience.

Now add to that all the people that you will ever pass in the halls of your school, in the mall, at the store you frequent, that will ever be in your neighborhood, that you will sit next to in a movie, that you will overhear in meetings or at parties.

That's a lot of people.

One in a million is actually pretty good odds.

And keep in mind that this person is also, in some sort or another, looking for you--beit an actual search for a true love, or someone with a similar interest to hang out with, or whathaveyou.

One in a million isn't so much now, is it?

i agree i have found once you stop looking for love you will find it. I was not looking for love when i found the worlds best man ever now i got the misfourtion of not living in the same country as him but i did find love. I have never found love when i was looking for it.
