I think I have to agree that patience is a prerequisite. Getting yourself i
into a bad relationship by rushing matters, would definitely be for the worst.
Just imagine if you settled for someone who wasn't a good match for you, just
because you so desparately wanted to have someone to talk to, cuddle with, care
for you, be your girlfriend/boyfriend. Eventually, if not sooner, you or your
mate will discover this mistake. In a great majority of these cases, the end
is definitely not pleasant. This will probably leave you feeling depressed,
more lonely, sadder... In fact you don't need a broken relationship to feel
this way, just try chasing people, and see the roller coaster of your feelings
based on their careless words, which to them mean nothing, but to you, you
extract for their every meaning. But anyway...
What I'm suggesting is waiting... This person will probably come along
eventually. Until then, you can find a lot of these things that you are
looking for from good friends. Good friends are there to spend time with,
talk with, cheer you up, give you a hug, just be there for you. You just have
to open yourself up to let them... While you're waiting for this wonderful
person to come along, look inside yourself. Make yourself, someone you're
proud of, be happy, and love yourself... Because, the more you think of
yourself, the more everyone else will too...
Good Luck,
Laura
