"Keep The Ship Sailing"

After reading the article ‘’Calling Cupid’’, it made me think , ‘Were things a lot more simple back in the day and less complicated?’

Maybe, but could it be that we were younger, naive and not at all sure about what we wanted, other than to be with someone.  Could be that we now have choice which in itself can complicate matters - a bit like whether you eat chicken or turkey for lunch when years ago your only choice may have been chicken.

Sharing and talking with friends may help some of us and advice is free. But on the other hand it could hinder us listening to our friends and their take on things.  After all we all know what it’s like when different people explain their way of doing things. One can become very confused and make a hash of it all making us think we are inadequate.

Besides, what makes us think friends know who or what would make a compatible partner or for that matter a potential spouse. Do they really know who we are?  The family introductions, that sounds too much like an arrangement (marriage) and what happens if you break up, what then. This may have worked years ago but not now, not in this day and age.
 
Could it be that we are looking in the wrong places. If we wanted a meaningful relationship, would we really be looking in a night club?  How about the fact that we might be trying too hard to meet ‘the one’ and too critical of the ones we do meet?  Some of us spend all our time looking for Mr. or Ms Right only to find out that when we do find them, we are not their Ms or Mr. Right.

So, what about if we all stop ''Calling Cupid”.

Being a romantic and many of us are out there. Have faith in yourself and in the knowledge that one day you will meet your wife, soul mate or partner or be lucky enough to have a belle waiting to greet you at home.  Be happy in the belief that there is a greater force that has a hand in all that happens. Enjoy the moment (now) and when the time is right, they will be there and the process will begin effortlessly and no chat up lines will be needed.

A time of anticipation, excitement and who knows, they could be the one.....now that is what I call exciting.
