Thanks Alexa for the supportive words. Seny0rita you are quite right. It was easier when I was younger and now perhaps the 'well has dried up' as you say. Also as they get older people are more fixed in their ways so it gets more difficult to find a good match. All I can say is that I envy those people who met their 'perfect match' when they were younger. For some people it almost falls into their hands whilst for others like myself we have to try so hard. I guess it's just the luck of the draw.
