People tell me the following all the time: "When you stop searching, you will find the right person."

Strangely it works out this way, somehow...

Strange, I'm not even looking, and I fall for the wrong people. It happens. Or maybe I am looking without realizing it....

Where in the Netherlands do you live, if I may ask? All my ancestry is Dutch.

Oh please, absurd advices like this really anger me. It even made me to cheat my WP fasting for today in order to reply you.

That advice of yours might be feasible for someone as young as you with plenty of time at hand and plenty of potential partners around, but for Ba'al 's sake, look at the OP's age (and that goes for all other users , always consider the age of the person you're advising damn it!).

Frieslander is 40, if he doesn't try and search NOW when then he should start searching? When he's 50?? When he's 60??

Or should he sit, and wait for love to come to him for another 40 years?

Please, give us a break people, and spare the less-coped-aspies those useless and misleading advices.

Frieslander, don't listen to the wannabe-wise young people, keep searching.

Anyways, that will be my only WP post for today, back to my fasting.

I live in the central part of The Netherlands, in the province called Utrecht.
Judging by your screenname i'd say your ancestors came from up north, Friesland or Fryslân as they say in Frisian.

Yes, I am also always a bit peturbed when someone says all I have to do is "stop looking". I think that works for lost car keys, but not finding a person. And also that idea suggests that I should feign disinterest in finding a relationship, and magically the right person would appear out of thin air.

Nice you are looking and not posting, but you can't really call it fastening if you enticing yourself :wink:

hmmm, you could help fortune a little hand by the dating circuit and take time for getting to know her before taking further steps - thus filtering out the ones you can't get along with.
My parents are divorced and my dad (56) had a few relations the last couple of years, he mainly used dating sites to get in contact.

Heck, the persons telling me this where real social types. So I guess that might explain it.

Dating and taking time might do it?

I know only four of the names in my ancestry, and one of them is Frisian.
