Finding love with that special person can be life-changing. It will bring a ton of enjoyment and happiness into your life.
First, though, you have to make sure that you are finding the right person and this in and of itself is potentially the most challenging aspect of searching for love. But why is something so important to our happiness so hard?
The truth is that most of the time, the reason is all about us and not anything to do with the person we are searching for.
However, finding the right person often becomes difficult because of two main things: lack of self-love and not being honest with ourselves about what we truly want.
But that still is a vague answer because as each individual is out on their search for the right person to complete their lives, the difficulties and challenges will be very specific to them alone. So that being said, we want to help try to take away some of those difficulties.
So in this quick article, we’re going to look at some key points to examine so that you can remove the obstacles and challenges you’ve put in front of you when it comes to meeting the right person.
Does This Happen to Everyone?
The search for Mr. or Mrs. Right is challenging for everyone but more so because of personal challenges and obstacles put in the way by none other than ourselves.
This adventure is far less challenging for those who are self-assured and very clear on what they are looking for.
If you suffer from self-doubt or are unclear about what you want, it will be more challenging because you are spending time with the wrong individuals. This is always going to be the biggest problem when it comes to finding the right person.
How Can You Know If It Is Your Fault?
The truth is 95% of the time. When you find the right person to bring a new level of happiness into your life, you are the root cause.
Don’t get us wrong, we know that you are out there being as authentic as possible, but the challenges and hurdles that come with finding the right person are often more about not truly knowing ourselves.
The challenges have very little to do with a lack of exposure to the right person or the other person. If you’re wondering about some signs that you might be the person at fault, the person who’s making this important life adventure challenging, here are a couple:
- You’ll find yourself always in relationships that are not meeting your needs and scalable challenges.
- No matter how hard, the relationship doesn’t seem peaceful.
- You are always looking for someone who checks off all your boxes.
- Multiple relationships have ended badly.
What Are the Signs of the Right Person?
Every relationship will be different when it comes to signs that you have found the right partner for you. But, even with that being said, there are some surefire signs that you have finally overcome your challenges and found the right person.
Here are some of the most common:
- There is an overwhelming excitement and need.
- Even when you can spend time apart, you don’t want to.
- Compromise, unlike in your past relationship, is very prominent.
- You find yourself able to talk for hours and hours about anything and nothing at all.
- Both of you are in it to build a strong and successful relationship.
- There is a maturity as well as a childish wonder attached to your time together.
Possible Reasons Why You Haven’t Met the Right Person Yet?
As we’ve stated above, the possible reasons that you may not have met the right person, yet all are solely internal. Everything from having unrealistic standards to being insecure can be catalysts to put up those roadblocks to finding the right person.
Here are a couple of the main reasons why you may not have met the right person yet:
Unrealistic standards may be the most prominent reason you’re not meeting the right person.
These unrealistic standards come from different places in our lives. Our standards are set by what we think we want, and if we’re unsure of that, these standards can get unrealistic.
Often they’re centered around what we’ve seen in the media and have been told we should want.
Focusing on these aspects will never get you closer to understanding what you truly want and being able to set realistic standards. So sit down with yourself and ask, “Is this really what I want?”.
The second biggest problem is a lack of self-love and self-knowledge. Until you truly know yourself, you can’t possibly know what you want in someone else.
Along with that, not being self-assured and having self-love for yourself will mean that you are looking for external validation, which could potentially lead you down the wrong path when finding the right person.
Fear is also a big player when it comes to building challenges in our lives. Even if you are ready to find someone to be with for the rest of your life there may be baggage that came from past relationships as well as your childhood.
Holding on to that doesn’t permit you to fully commit to the search. Without full commitment, you’re always going to find yourself drawn to the wrong person because you’re looking for validation and assurance instead of love and partnership.
Is it Possible That You Will Never Meet the Right Person?
We’ve all heard the adage that there is somebody out there for everybody, but the truth is that finding the right person takes work. That means if you’re unable or unwilling to do the work, you may very well never meet the right person.
That doesn’t mean you’re going to be alone for the rest of your life. But it may mean you struggle to find the relationship that ultimately fulfills your heart, body, mind, and soul.
Final Thoughts on Why Is It Hard to Meet the Right Person
Not being able to find the right person boils down to self-love and self-assurance. Without those two things, you’ll never know your true standards and what you’re looking for. Without that knowledge finding the right person is going to be hard.
We hope that we’ve helped you answer some of these questions and will make your future search for the right person just a little easier.
