I know that I am echoing what others have already tried to tell you, but your understanding of what a relationship is supposed to be is not helping you. Of course you are "worthy." Virtually everyone is worthy of love and belonging. But no woman is obligated to stay in a relationship with you simply because you are worthy of it. The magic happens when enough of her values, interests, personality traits, goals and romantic expectations overlap and/or mesh with yours. That, not ‘worthiness,’ is the foundation of a relationship. And it is not a reflection on you when that doesn't happen, so please stop beating yourself up.

And guess what? Finding that person who syncs with you is damned difficult because we humans are complicated. Frankly, most of us find someone who is "almost compatible" and decide that we have struck gold. Then one of two things happens: 40 to 50 percent of us wind up in divorce court, while most of the rest resign themselves to living with "almost" ... as in "almost happy" (which, incidentally can be worse than divorce).

I didn't find the love of my life until I was fifty ... and that was after marriage, divorce and multiple relationships. My advice: don't try to "find" someone ... instead, ask yourself what two or three things you most enjoy doing. The things that keep you excited. Then locate groups of people who regularly engage in those activities. Get involved and make friends--we rarely have too many of those.

In other words, invest your time in the things that you get passionate about and let life happen. And what the hell ... that magic just may find you. I hope it doesn't take fifty years--but if it does, you will find that the right one is worth the wait. And you are worth of that.
