That's the hard part, isn't it? My hubby's a bit like Branch in many ways (), but we didn't meet in the (then) conventional fashion; we found each other through the ORIGINAL online dating site that matched you through personality tests -- eMode! eHarmony later copied them and put them out of business, but seriously that's how I met my husband, heh! I put my profile up one night as a joke to myself just to see what would happen right as he was about to take his off and give up on it altogether, but at the last minute he saw me, contacted me, and three years later we were married! My brother-in-law met his wife the same way, through eHarmony. And one of my best friends just met her boyfriend through another online dating site (OkCupid) -- and he's treating her the way she deserves this time unlike her past boyfriends, the ones she met "traditionally." I know some people can be skeptical about online matching sites, but sometimes they really do work! My hubby and I have been together for just shy of 14 years now! If you're having a hard time finding someone through conventional offline means, as I was, it couldn't hurt to consider trying an online dating site. You never know, it just might work! And if it doesn't, you don't lose anything for having tried (although I'd recommend trying some of the free ones, like OkCupid, over eHarmony because eHarmony is exceedingly expensive). Just try to find one that matches based on personality tests if you can; that's how eMode worked for my hubby and I, it said we were something like 98% compatible, and it turned out to be right LOL!

I can't tell you that because I don't know. We can't know until we find them. But do you know what I did learn while searching for my Branch? Sometimes we find what we're looking for only when we stop looking. I used to feel so lonely and worthless and couldn't understand why no one was ever interested in me or rejected me when I tried to love them... After going through a lot of misery and punishing myself for so long it finally dawned on me that I couldn't rely on someone else for my happiness. I needed to just be me, to be happy with myself, and to understand that I was not worthless -- with or without someone else. When I realized that I started to feel better about myself and to just enjoy being me and I said then that if I met someone, great, but if I didn't it didn't matter. It would happen when it was time, when God meant for it to happen. So I stopped looking, and I stopped caring. That was when I put my profile up on eMode, just as something fun to do one night. I never expected anything to come from it and didn't really care if it did or didn't. One week later I met my husband. It all happened when I stopped fighting so hard to try to make it happen and left it in God's hands. It will happen when you least expect it. You just need to have Faith.

That's the spirit! And just remember that no matter what, you have friends that love and care about you!
