Timing is everything

The perfect person may not be the perfect one for you. 

The perfect person for you may not be the person you marry.

Many years ago, I met this special guy. Even my first girlfriend, also my best friend then, said he was the perfect guy for me. I was 20, and he was 28. He was ready to settle down, I was not. Poof! Off he disappeared. If I was ready then, I would probably be married to him by now.

Then I had another r/s with a woman. It was really all about timing. If she was completely single when we had met, and she had given me more time to be ready to be with a woman for the rest of my life, and she had remained single while she waited for me, we might be spending the rest of our lives together by now.

On reflecting on my relationships, 3 failed ones, some potential ones, some lost ones, I realised that timing is everything. At one point in time, there could be this perfect person for you, but if you are not ready for this perfect person, then he/she is not the perfect one for you. And if that person is perfect for you, and you are not ready to be with that person, then that person will probably not be the one you be with at that point in time.

What is my point? You know it when you meet someone, and you know that someone is for you. Regardless of whether one party is ready or one party is not, if you are meant to be together, you will be together.
