CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES.... (30)
Sometimes one is way too close to the situation to see it from an un-biased/objective viewpoint. The phrase 'blinded by love' is the first one that could be thrown into this discussion. That's the same reason that doctors don't operate on themselves. (Part of the reason, anyway.)

I think we are too busy to see whats right in front of us. It may not be the "picture" in our heads that we had of the one we would fall in love with but it might be the guy at the gas station, the produce dude at the market, someone here in forums that you may think is cool as a friend but has no potential mate... If we stop and smell the roses we might find what we are "searching" for....

What will it take to stop what our minds say...and listen to what our heart is telling us?

It took a major stasis/status quo issue... that's why I am mixing up everything in my life, top to bottom.

I don't believe in searching 
I've noticed that people just "show up" in my life

I believe in karma, fate, and the mystical power that dictates that when it is time and place for two beings to meet, they will. I also believe we all receive bits and pieces from all we meet and know, and if it is to be that we are to have a relationship, neither will miss the siren call.

For me I am never really looking for anything,other then ways to survive in the word we live in,in which I have to work with all that surrounds me,trying best I can not to allow for the profound distruction that the world is so full of.
I welcome and except what is real to me,expecting nothing other then for them to be just who they are,how and where this goes one never knows,but my eyes are wide open to all possibilites that may be,and regardless what it is I get from those I meet I always take a piece with me,a feeling,a learning of sorts for sure,and a new vision,with a clear view.

There was a time when I listened to my heart, despite what my mind was telling me. Logic and plain old common sense and red flags and all of that was telling me that "this guy is not right for you." But did I listen? Noooooooooo. And what did it get me? Heartache and frustration, that's what.
I'm older and wiser and a LOT more persnickity when it comes to choosing a mate these days. It's the only way you can be and be assured you're choosing the right person -- and even then that's no guarantee. I tend to use logic and not emotion when making all decisions in my life. That's not to say I'm devoid of emotion; I have very deep feelings. I just try not to let my emotions influence decisions that are going to potentially have a negative impact on my life. BTDT too many times in the past and I'm done with it.

I have felt like one of those trees that was passed up many times. Although I could have offered the best wood and made the finest of things, given the best fruit from my limbs..............
I would have been cut down to please the one that I loved and been happy to sacrifice................
Somehow the need to love and be loved in return is a driving force within us even thought it can and does at times lead to loneliness, confusion, disappointment and despair.
Can we jump into the sea without some knowledge of swimming?
The forest has become so dense that we need to define in our own minds what we need.

it's as good of reason as any I reckon.
if I knew what it was I wasn't seeing I'd be able to look for it.
maybe thats why those that find the real thing it last and lasts.
I tend to believe that "location location location "is a key element in our lives, the fact that one lives one place happily and is unable to find their love because of location is..well I ain't buying into that thought. The idea of our complete happiness being like a savenger hunt and having to travel the world over to find this piece of puzzle and then that...maybe for some whose lifestyle has them traveling geat distances . but, for the likes of me If I have job home and am comfortable with environment (weather rustic, big city , small village,whatever. ) It just stands to reason that I should be by all intent and purpose be able to find someone who likes the same area/enviroment/surroundings as I.
I am observant when out in public places as to who I see on a regular basis at restaurants, stores bike paths , as such... but, I will admot your possible therory holds alot of merit.
as always this is
just an opinion

I think we tend to be fussy and tend to "look" too much and expect too much out of someone that we do end up missing out on some who may have been a way better potential. I try to give people a chance and get to know them and then who knows what the future will bring right?

sometimes you cannot look with your eyes,for sometimes the eyes does not see inside of the person
sometimes you cannot look with your heart,for sometimes you heart does not see the whole picture,sometimes your heart can be lie to
sometimes you have to see with your soul,in order to see inside of the person.unlike your eyes who does not see inside,the soul only see what is inside.unlike your heart your soul cannot be lie to.
your soul sees things as they really are and not the way you want to see them.the soul sees things that the eyes cannot see.the soul knows true love lays inside of the person and not the outside

Are we so busy in our "search" for love...that we are missing the ones who love us that are right in front of us??
Are we passing up the people who would have been our help mates and our inspiration because they sat quietly in a corner...waiting...
What is it that we are not seeing? and why can't we see it? What are we so busy looking for that we missed what was right there? And what will it take to stop....
