whatrutalkingabt – “I dont think they’d really “rather stay single”. I think they keep hoping that the one they envisioned is just around the corner.”
I agree. The Yetzer Horah tells them this.
The reality is almost every person you go out with when you’re older, the next will not be as good as the one now. Stop fooling yourselves and take what you can get. This would be true for younger people also, except that a lot of people in their twenties haven’t grown up yet. So it’s still possible the next could be better. Once singles reach the stage of not changing anymore, what I said above applies!
