Why Can't I Find Mr. Right?

This question was sent to me by someone that I will leave anonymous. My response to the question is this:

We tend to do this search to find a partner
We look and compare, we question and put to the test
The thing that we don't stop to do is ask ourselves are we ready for love
We meet so many people and we tell ourselves that we cannot find the right one
We become so caught up with the search and the chase that we loose sight on the importance of being alone for awhile
Some times it's best to be alone to appreciate yourself more
When you take that time to yourself, you figure out the things about you that need improving, that need more attention, and you then realize how great of a person you are
If you don't know your self worth, it's impossible to find someone that can see it
We tend to sit in a group spitting about the bad people out there
We put all men and women in the same category
We talk about the games that people play
We talk about the tiresome search and the disappointing results
It never dawns on us that we are doing the same thing that the rest of the world is doing
We are making excuses on why we are alone
We are blaming our loneliness on the world and not taking accountability for our actions
We meet good people and then we dissect them
They don't make enough money, they don't drive an expensive car, they don't look like models, they don't have star quality talents, etc.
Since when has there been perfect people?
When did we all get so wonderful that GOD has to drop the perfect person into our laps?
What happened to looking for the inside of people?
Why can't you fall in love with a gentlemen that works at Burger King, drives a beat down 92 Camry, lives in a modest residence, and makes a modest salary?
The thing about reaching above your means is that you may meet people that feel like they are slumming by choosing you
Some of us achieve so much in life that we separate ourselves from reality
We start feeling like we're better than everyone else
We start feeling like we don't need to work that hard to get someone
We start finding ourselves getting bored quickly because people can't keep our interests
Most of the people that are caught up in their physical makeup only want people that look like them
Most people that are caught up with how much money they make only want people that make equal or more than them
Most people that drive fancy cars will only date someone that has an equally fancy car
Most people that live in large extravagant homes only look for people that have homes equally extravagant
Then there are people that have all of the above and don't want to be with anyone that could reach that level
Stop being so picky!
Stop being so judgemental!
Stop putting people down just because they don't match up to this picture in your head!
Start talking to that nice guy at the bus stop, because you never know where his future is taking him
That guy taking your order at Burger King could love you stronger than anyone you could ever know
That guy putting water in his broken down 92 Camry could make an amazing father, provider, and lover
It's when we stop raising the bar so high, we start looking in the eyes of others and not over their heads
