"What is the #1 reason so many people are single? Why is it that we have the highest rate of singles we've ever had in America? I believe it's because deep down, we're terrified. When it comes to relationships, many singles tend to be driven by FEAR instead of FAITH. Fear of failure, fear of abandonment, fear of getting hurt, fear of making the wrong choice. Fear is paralyzing, and many times, it keeps us from moving forward and from experiencing love." Debra Fileta
Absolutely! Recently I have been on a hot streak with women online returning messages...six for six (and I'm remembering fondly the ones who didn't reply previously lol) I've messaged with them and each one has gone down in flames. Often I think what we may perceive as game playing etc. is really fear. It's easy to whip up a profile and watch the messages flood in. It's validating but to go further takes courage and that's often lacking. Most people, if not all, in my age bracket who are out there looking are hurting people who are trying to make sense of their relationship losses and fearful of repeating them again. Intellectually we know we want to be loved and give love but emotionally it's just terrifying! So people end up doing wacko things to each other and you sit there wondering "WTH is wrong with people?" I know I do. Anyway, I just thought I'd toss that out there...while I think of more T shirt slogans for the convention lol.
