Relationships

I have recently discovered that I have a dilemma. I suck at getting into relationships with girls. What usually occurs in my pursuit is that I become attracted to a girl, I get overly zealous about the future possibilities with that girl, and then disappoint myself because she wasn't everything I thought she would be. I guess I have a perfect image and idea of what I want my future wife to be and I try to make myself think that I will find it in a particular girl. I usually end up disappointed that she wasn't it and get discouraged. I don't know how to just let fate and destiny work together to continue my path in life. I seem to always get in the middle and wonder about when and where it will happen and with who it will be. I really want to find my soul mate but have the fear that I might settle for less than her to satisfy my desire of being with someone and not being alone. I think out of everything in my life, I always seem to overanalyze my thoughts and ideas of love and who I will fall in love with. My biggest fear is that the only product I will receive from my pursuit of love is insanity.

Nobody is perfect - only God can make you a whole person. No girl can solve everything.

Settling and having a realistic view of life and love are two different things.

Love you buddy.

Will, I'm definitely no expert... so I won't try to give you any advice on what you should do. Instead, I just want to remind you that you are a great guy, one of my best friends and you have a ton of stuff to offer to a girl who is lucky enough to take the time to realize it.

One day, hopefully, you'll look back on this part of you life and laugh at how anxious you were...

Love you man, if you ever need to talk... I'm here.

I do realize that when I find the girl I am supposed to be with, it isn't going to make life a bed of roses. I feel like having someone there that you love will ultimately make the journey even better and ultimately make me a better person(hopefully). I really do appreciate the advice and encouragement. I am learning to just "let it be" and not worry so much about what will happen. The funny thing is that I could be fine and then tomorrow will bring on another set of events that will bring me back to square one. I guess that is just life.
