Because trusting someone is very hard to do in a world where no one wants to get hurt. Our experiences are our excuses for not engaging in relationships instead of being the reason for finding something better.
Lessons in relationships have become the shield that we all tend to hide behind instead of using those lessons as tools for making less mistakes and building better relationships.

There's nothing wrong with people, we just change attitudes and beliefs because of past experiences and age. Looks and personality also play a large role. Everyone has a special preference, just a matter of waiting for the right connection.

Just look at society..how many people do you know that have been at the same job for 20+ years? ...How many people upgrade whenever something new comes out? Even appliances and vehicles are built to be disposable... so....people assume relationships are the same.. it has to be perfect or they're outta there, so we've become cynical..protective for survival...JMO
hey hug me , do i assume that any thing is better than nothing from yer post ,cause your right ,,, just that ppl dont figure out that you can grow to love someone lots after you live with them and find out that they are pretty nice. either that or you cant stand them and you get rid of them quick befor the mental damage is done. i wish i was this smart when i was 20 gordy theoldsillyfosifer

I really don't think there is anything wrong with most people...there are some who are not ready for a relationship, but believe it is what will "complete" them or "make them happy"; in my opinion, it will be difficult for those to find and keep a strong, healthy relationship. I believe some people really aren't looking for keeps...they are just dabbling; playing. Those that they dabble with end up hurt. I believe there are people who seek not a relationship, but an avenue by which they can seek revenge and control and give back the pain and hurt they have endured in the past - it makes them feel better about themselves. There are people who have such high expectations...high ideals that no one will ever measure up to; self-fulfilling prophesies perhaps? But most people, who take their time to heal and become a healthy whole, who take their time to know someone, who are truly honest about the kind of person they want and need...they will find and keep a relationship. Time...
Yes finding a partner is difficult. We are trying to find someone who we are compatable with. Many we know, and maybe like, but can never live with them (even if they are available) because their interests, are not ours. their habits annoy us. And the list goes on. We have to be discriminating in choicing a partner, because we plan to live with him/her for the rest of our lives. I believe there many divorces, because many married for the wrong reasons. Or choose to be blind to the real person they married. Or saw the real person, and said to themselves ( I will marry him/her and change them. And usaully end up
you're right Gordy wish I was smarter at 20 as well....I still think if you can be best friends through everything life throws at us(together and separately), support each other, like being together and not just walk away when things get tough...you've got it made!
