interesting.. i think this often actually and i am IN a relationship.. my bf works at a school all day with foreigners, and a lot of women.. i think what if he chose me because when i was at the school there was only 4 of us!! now there are so many he has way more options, of course i ask him and he says i dont want to be with anyone else but you.. its chemistry, its connection..
Even though we have our own issues a lot of cultural, language. we still choose each other, i am in a country where the women are beautiful. idk.. i think its all hard.. after i wrote all that.
I think it really comes down to so what if you are his only choice, you meet if you hit it off you do, and if not you don't.. for you it is easier to find someone else he has to work harder.. maybe a little more jaded.. but when it happens and you find your man, it wont matter how you found him or how many dates either of you had.
I have a feeling you are going to meet someone in person while traveling, or hiking doing something you love.. idk why, i have always felt that about you.. you seem to be a in person person! like someone will like how you are determined to hike two mountains in one day, or to find a hostel in the middle of boston, or rent a car and drive around maine.. watching the sun sets alone.. someone will see you and just know you will hit it off instantly...or i am a romantic at heart.
