I just had someone turn a potential match away because there was a 58 mile geographic divide.
Ok I kind of get it, but let’s look at the BIG picture.
That person some 58 miles away could very well be the love of your life.
You are willing to forgo meeting someone that could be your future someone because you need to drive an hour?
My parents met in San Francisco, a city they both happened to be visiting on their respective vacations.
My Dad met my Mom and fell head over heels in love with her.
He proposed NINE DAYS after knowing her. She accepted.
*Yet there was a twist to their love story*
He lived in Europe. She resided in Oregon. How could this work?
She had never been to Europe before.
But she knew he was her future.
So she packed her bags and boarded a plane and moved to be with the man who had proposed a week prior.
Here they are, married over 50 years later.
TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE. Do not say NO to opportunities. Put yourself out there and be a bit more open-minded. You never know who you will meet when you open your heart and mind to the grand possibilities ahead.
