OP relax...... There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong about placing a standard for yourself too. There are things in life I expect providence to take care of....Marriage is one. My Sis who is much more older than you will be wedding next two months. There was a guy that was asking her hand in marriage she refused because he didn't meet up to her standard(has nothing to do with finances). I was a little bit concerned considering her age, I was expecting her to compromise, she did not. Now she has what she wants and am happy for her. OP relax, what you want will come your way! Cheers! I PM/Dm you, Please reply ( The reason for contacting you has nothing to do with this topic or romance) 1 Like |

moski5:This is not about you.Rather,the op with a perfect guy for three years in the relationship and no attraction? Now,those ladies you always want to do things to,don't they have attractive Manchester United and arsenal? You are a carnal man and MUST be easily swayed with mundane things as girl on skirt and lipsticks. |

seizethaBae: From your maiden post it is clear that you aren't faced with a famine of suitors, just that you haven't found the one that matches your inner colour. Read and think carefully, my baby sister who got married at the twilight of 2015 actually got married to a guy she initially adjudged a mismatch. She confided in me how she didn't feel anything for him when he first asked her out. For many months her heart never panted a second for him. I was far away. She called me on the phone one morning to discuss it with me. She told me how she wanted a guy as smart and sociable as myself and a cousin of mine. This guy wasn't close in many respects. That morning I had to open her mind to a few details about love and marriage. Well most important of all, I asked her to go enquire from the Creator of marriage if the dude was right for her. Yes I actually asked her to. Human judgments are usually flawed! It's extremely risky and a huge gamble as well for anyone to rely solely on themselves when choosing a lifetime bedroom mate. This is my belief. After a few days she called me to tell me she hadn't found out anything yet. Well I told her that the guy was her soulmate. How I knew is something for another day. My sweet sister was distraught. The conversation lost steam and she hung up. Few days later she rang me to inform me she had confirmed what I told her. I wasn't interested in how she found out. Today they are married. She is overjoyed. They both call me all the time expressing their gratitude. Moral lesson: 1. Don't chase after feelings of love. 2. Love is not enough. 3. The weak-looking one is usually the jackpot. 4. The flashy ones usually are a load of pain when you arrive home together. 5. Never lean on your own understanding when making the choice. It's a risk you may never be able to undo. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

From my observation, u sound desperate. No insult intended... I believe if not for the family pressures, your mates a all settled right? don't count on that,just divert your attention towards other things and before u know,something will come up |

seizethaBae:You have an ex who you say is PERFECT,still you could not love him. My diagnosis is that you operate on a peculiar wavelength that isn't common, trust me I know what I'm saying. Every human has a wavelength they operate on. If you were to put on an eye apparatus that is capable of detecting frequencies and sending the visual to your eye,you will understand what I'm saying. A lot of people operate on similar wavelengths that may have different frequencies,but the catch is that these frequencies can superimpose on each other and blend. Your case is that you have a totally different frequency as well as wavelength from most normal people. Yes you are not normal! Don't get mad yet,that you're not normal is not bad,it just means you're part of the less than 5% of people in the entire planet who fall under this category. I've met one other guy like that on this forum,cant mention his moniker so he doesn't bite my head off but I follow him. These group of people actually find it hard picking someone to get married to because there is always a fault to be noticed no matter how PERFECT the person is. I'm going to guess that you're an ambivert,i.e a combination of introvert and extrovert. Another guess is that u like to read anything and everything, and you find that most people do not really understand you even part of your own family. Another guess is that your close friends are very few,as in VERY few and you haven't made new friends in a while. Most of your friends are old friends. I also guess that you're someone who can have sex with someone and not add emotions to it,i mean just for the fun of it. All guesses sha,so correct me on the wrong ones. The solution is this,you should understand that for people like you, love is not what you need to marry. You only need to marry someone whom you would like enough not to see their faults or someone who is on the exact same frequency and wavelength as you,the latter is harder. Are you into the science field,or do you just see yourself liking anything that has to do with figuring out how things work? 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Too much novel and movies dey worry you. People get married everyday where both of them barely met for 2hrs or communicated. And there are people who had great love and feeling for their partners and have been married 13times already. All those feelings you are talking about, most of them are fleeting and would pass. The kind of guy you have feelings for 5yrs ago might look like an arsehole to you now and same in another 5yrs time Look for a guy that has the same prospect as you, similar education, with similar religious beliefs, from a similar background, has similar values and principles in career, finances and human relations. basically someone that is compatible. And just go with it, In a few yrs after marriage that feeling will grow All those you read in novels are fiction Almost all married people at some time have wondered what jazz made them marry this type of person and many of them get over it and make it work While many who left supposedly imperfect partners are wishing they had stayed There are much more important things that made life and marriage work than just emotional feeling 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Mindfulness:It isn't just one source,i mean reading about it. I actually typed that out from a combined residual memory involving many different books I have read over the years and scholarly write-ups I have come across randomly on the internet. But I'd love to share with you some books that talk on the subject in parts: Amazing laws of cosmic mind power Psychic perception - the magic of extrasensory power The cosmic power within you Secrets of the I Ching All of those are authored by Joseph Murphy. Robert Greene also gives a little insight on human interactions in: The 48 Laws of Power The Art of Seduction The Art of War by Sun Tzu may have added to my memory too I guess,lol. Though it is purely a political book, it sublimely articulates human interactions. Same with the works of Niccolo Machiavelli. For specific books on understanding humans based on the frequency they emit and wavelengths, I can't name specific books off the top of my head. I came across the topic by chance on scholarly articles by biological scientists mostly on the internet and on very educative programs on TV. But reading a combination of those books up there and many more all point to the same fact. Lahaye's books on temperaments also might be enlightening. 6 Likes 1 Share |

@poster even though many people have said there is nothing to worry about, I do think that you need to look inward and evaluate a few things you went out with someone you did not have any feelings for for 3 whole years, but you say that loving someone and having strong feelings for them is very important to you, so why then go out with someone you felt was unsuitable for so long? The reality is that marriages do not thrive on Love alone, there are other important things involved such as respect, good sex, friendship, companionship, being able to laugh together, similar backgrounds, education, expectations, ideas and dreams. My suggestion is to be open to someone who shares the same values and ideas with you and take it from there. You see all those butterfly feelings are temporary and as time goes on and you settle down into marriage, and start to go through things together as a married couple, it becomes a deep seated love and you almost feel as if you are the same being (feeling of oneness), security and companionship. That comes with time. Can I also say that the person you may feel for may not be that suitable for you and this may cause problems later. I don't know if you are getting what I am saying Pick a decent, hard-working, God fearing man who you are compatible with. A man who will respect you. I'm not saying marry anyone out of pity, so pls do not misunderstand me. 5 Likes 1 Share |

missjo:You have a terrible knowledge on theory of wave..... when frequencies superimpose on the same wavelength, there is destructive interference leading to more subharmonics of the obtainable Fourier series, and I don't see how that is a good thing... secondly, I don't see how humans will operate on different wavelength, because if they did, and the sinusoid is a pure one , an infinite series of emotions will then not exist. 3 Likes |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:I'm sure I have a terrible knowledge on wave theory seeing as I'm not a physicist,but I know there is such a thing called BEAT FREQUENCY which results when different frequencies superimpose on each other.this is a good thing in human interactions. As for you not seeing how humans can operate on different wavelengths,this is probably because you're overthinking it only as a physicist when you should be thinking as a neuroscientist. Here is a little something from an institute for systems neuroscience at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology https://www.ntnu.edu/news/on-the-same-wavelength Have a lovely evening. 2 Likes 1 Share |
