We look for someone that we can grow old with, or even someone that we can see ourselves with for at least the night, but we are stuck with the people that surround us. What about the people that are not immediately around us; what about the people that we have never met before or will never meet? Our soul mates are picked out from the area that we live in, and we feel like this is the only person that will complete us or that will love us for this moment, but in reality, there are so many more people that would fit that same bill, but because we have never met them, we will never know.
Let's think about it. High school: my graduating class had about 600 students, give or take, with over 2,000 students in the entire school. This number is huge, but we were basically confined to only this many peers to pick from to date- actually only half this number since we would be talking about a person of the opposite or same sex. Forward to college. The pool has now grown to over 25,000 students. Now, we have more than twelve times as many people to pick from, but this is still not everyone in the world.
What keeps us from meeting the person that might actually be a better fit than "the one" that you are with now? A city, school, state, country, or even ocean. Even so, it could be the person down the block that you have never even seen. We feel like the people who surround us now are the only people that we have to pick from, but this isn't true. As we grow, we meet new people, are put in new situations, jobs, cities, and are given an entirely new set of people to choose from. We are not restricted to the people who are sitting next to us at the moment, so don't think that you are going to be alone, because someone you meet on a trip to the mall, or on a vacation that is three states over could be the person that you fall in love with.
