“To all the lovers out there… When we were in school, we were told not to date, that we would find better partners in university. Then, in university, we were told to wait until we got to the workplace. Now that we are working, we think we will find the right partners in marriage. But the truth is. we are not good at dating. We are inexperienced. We might have no children, few or no exes, but we lack relationship experience. We give up easily. We are difficult to deal with. We have high expectations, unrealistic standards, and a sense of entitlement. We struggle to compromise or tolerate others. We think we are always right. We are selfish, inconsiderate, and emotionally unavailable. That is why many of us end up lonely , with only our academics and careers to show. We have succeeded in education, but we have failed in relationships. Even though we may be successful in life, we have failed to love others. Our lives may seem perfect, but we are unlovable, not because we are incapable, but because we never tried, never gained the experience or learned the lessons. And now, it feels too late. We are too old to learn or to set in our ways. When we do try dating, we often end up with the worst partners, because our choices are driven by desperation, and our criteria are unrealistic.”
