Every cup has a saucer

My mum has a favourite phrase 'Every cup has a saucer'. By this, she means that everyone should be able to find a partner.

But I was wondering, what if this isn't true. I'd love to meet someone but I'm 30 next year and I've never been in love.

It just seems that some people find it easy to meet datable men and women but I don't. I'm not too different from friends - similar level of attractiveness, age, hobbies, education etc. So why are things so different for me?

I've liked guys over the years but one for reason or another they haven't wanted to take things further, and this makes me feel a bit sad. Like they were lost opportunities.

we're of the generation that has grown up knowing that most things you want, you can acheive through application and hard work.

Unfortunately finding that 'significant other' is still a matter of luck, something you can't 'make happen' how ever hard you try. You could of course reduce the odds, and do a bit of internet dating- not to everyone's tastes I know.

I just wanted to say I loved your title... It's been a while since I've heard that.

People are not so trusting of those sites. But people say you have to approach looking for a partner as you do when you're looking for a job. You have to be in it to win it.
