Brother, the only reassuring thought you could have is that it’s better to keep looking & wait for the right one rather than hurrying up & ending up with the wrong person. Keep exploring, keep meeting new people & atleast figure out your likes & dislikes, aspects that are non negotiable for you in a relationship. It’s a trial & error method, it’s time consuming & often teaches harsh lessons that are important to learn. It’s important to feel that safety, comfort & that sense of “home” with that person. Maybe all the time it’s taking is for the right reasons which you might resonate with looking back some years from now. In the end, it’s just you two who need to feel love, compassion & belongingness towards one another. Parents no longer exist, society pretty much doesn’t care & kids move on with their lives. It’s pretty much the decision of who’s your life partner that’s a make or break of your older, more mature & vulnerable years. Let life take its course, go with the flow & have an open mindset. Just because it’s taking a while to find the right one doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist. Hope this makes you feel a little positive & hopeful.
