40 Relatable Quotes About Looking For Love To Keep You Happy When You're Still Single
Everyone has an idea of the perfect partner, but are the expectations of your soulmate realistic?
Typically, at a young age, when people start to notice and be attracted to other people, we develop a certain type of person that we like. Some girls like a tall, dark and well-built man. Other’s like skinny, bean pole guys with a beanie and shy eyes.
Everyone, at some point, establishes, in their mind, the goal that they have for what their soulmate looks like.
I always wanted a guy who was a lot taller than me and built like a football player with blonde hair and blue eyes and a comforting embrace that could envelop me and make me feel like a dainty flower in his arms. I don’t think it’s too much to ask.
The thing is, my first real boyfriend ended up being nothing like that. He was two inches taller than me, had strawberry blonde hair and fit into all my clothes and made me feel like I was hugging myself because we were the same size. Not the same at all, but I loved him because of his personality. We connected and he made me laugh and feel loved and appreciated. He made me feel safe regardless of being able to fit into my shoes.
This is just one example of so many cases that I feel like I have seen and noticed and experienced where people think that they have a type of person that they plan on ending up with, but when it comes down to it, they will love who they will love and the rest won’t matter. They find someone who could be dead opposite from what they thought they wanted, but still be with them because their “type” of guy didn’t really matter that much in the first place.
So whether you're looking for the perfect guy who is just your type, or you're over the search and just waiting for your soulmate to walk into your life, take a look at this collection of the best looking for love quotes for single people to help you pass the time.
