Mr Right Theory

Submitted by Confessions of a single mum on May 10, 2009 – 7:05 pmOne Comment

There is a theory that there is the perfect partner for everyone. I believe it totally and it’s not just my romantic side talking.  Well if there are over 6 billion people in the world then the odds seem pretty good. So taking this rough figure of 6 billion and assuming it’s an equal split of men and women then that leaves 3 billion men to go through. Now even I know there aren’t enough hours in the day to cover that one. So removing a billion for the ones that are two young and then another billion for the ones too old, I estimate I have a billion to work through. Now like every other woman out there I have a list of like and dislikes on my Mr. Right credentials list. Now even with my sub standard mathematician brain I can work out that even deleting all those who don’t cut it on the credentials list I am still left with a high number of potential candidates. This doesn’t though take into account that there are constant changing variables. What I thought of as Mr Right 10 and even 5 years ago is very different to what I want now. I have changed. We all do its natural. I have grown older, my body is less forgiving, and my requirements have changed. Be it from outside influences or by natural growth and change from life. Each time I have dated and its not worked out I have learnt what I do and don’t want from a relationship.

 

Now its all very well have the safe knowledge that Mr Right is out there, Mother Nature wasn’t to kind to give him a map to my door. But this is a good thing. If he landed on my door in the early years, how would I know what I actually want in a man? I wouldn’t have experienced the good and the bad times that make me what I am today. How would I be able to comfort my children as they grow and learn about broken hearts if I hadn’t had my fair share? Half the fun when you go out of an evening is the getting ready. So should half the fun be in the finding of Mr Right. And considering how long it takes me to get ready to go out, I will probably find him when I have retired and pushing a Zimmer frame. To find Mr Right I have to be findable. If I wait for him to walk past my house then I might aswell not bother. Online Dating here I come.

    i disagree! ive only hads one relationship but i dont believe there is a mr right cos surely for mr right to be right id have to be his miss right and if i wasnt then he wouldnt want to be with me therefore he woudlnt be mr right!!
    the chances of finding someone to like me, love me , marry and grow old with me are prob great but one who i like and love back who id do anythign for who ill never grow tired of! who like same things as me! too rare! id be hapy to settle mr ok if he wanted same things as me and i never plan to find my one true match as i believe he died in a past life and never got reincarnated as a human in thi life for me to find!!
