Finding the someone
Posted in Socialon Dec 31, 2006
I’ve heard a number of my friends and other people talk about “meeting someone” or “finding an eternal companion.”
These phrases seem a little odd to me. They always seem to allude that the particular someone special is a person we haven’t met yet. I think it may be unfair to think this way. There are always possibilities that we will marry someone we have already met, but haven’t yet dated.
I think single people should keep an open mind about who they might eventually marry, and not limit their potential companions to those they haven’t yet met.
Furthermore, if singles put themselves in the mind-frame that they will marry someone they haven’t yet met, then they risk creating a habit of always looking for the next person, whom they will never actually find.

I suppose they could mean it as in “finding out that someone you already know is the right someone.” Or everyone could just figure that one day they’re going to be hit on the nose by a magic fairy who says, “this is your right someone” and shows them a picture. You never know.
