I haven't come to a conclusion on the "one true love" situation. I know that there are people that you "click" better with than others...but to say that there is one person you are meant to be with....I'm not 100% sure. I do believe in destiny/fate/serendipity. I think that when 2 people find each other that are meant to be together they know it. I just think too many people ignore the "clues/details" we are given in life to find our destiny. Someone used the example of picking to stay on the highway or get off one of the ramps....something has to make you pick which way to go....and I do think that it's all planned out.
Everything that happens in this world happens for a reason....and we as humans have to learn from these events whether they are huge events or minor events....we have to learn the lesson from them.

As for if I'm destined to be single the rest of my life. So be it...that's the way my life is supposed to go, so I gotta be happy. When having this conversation with a friend, he asked me "wouldn't you get lonely?". I told him nope...My explanation is this. In order for someone to be lonely, they must be deprived of something that they need out of the relationships they already have formed (family members, friends, co-workers etc). You don't have to not be in a intimate relationship with someone to feel lonely. So many people use the term incorrectly. Sure you might be alone in the respect that you don't have a bf/gf/husband/wife...but you aren't lonely because of this. You're lonely cuz you aren't getting what you need out of the relationships you already have formed. I think too many people feel that they have to follow what society says is the correct thing to do (get married, have kids, a white picket fence, a dog and 2 cats etc etc) and too many are afraid that they will end up single. There is nothing wrong with being single as long as you have other types of relationships in your life. And this is part of the reason why the divorce rate is so high. People just settle for someone they think they are in love with, realize a couple yrs, months, days down the road that they were just fooling themselves and feel like they are stuck, end up resenting the person they are with and they end up leaving each other hating the other person.

I just think that there are some things in life you can't ignore. It's a wild ride, you never know what is going to happen next. No matter how much someone tries to plan their life, there is no certainty that it's going to work out like that. I say just go with the flow and do what you feel is natural.
