I'm sure the writer was just writing out of his experience. I don't think he was saying there's a universal law for people NOT to look for that "emotional fire".
I'm 32 years old and still single. I'm not ugly. I'm pretty smart. Friends could say that I don't have a bad personality. I don't think I'm intimidating. If a guy was intimidated and didn't take initiative, he wouldn't have been worthy anyway.
For some people my age they may already be looking for someone to settle down with. Anyone who was ready to settle with them.
As for me, I don't feel desperate. Guys have asked me out for the past months. I've gone out with some of them -- some alone, some as a group. Some of there looked okay on paper. They would almost fit the bill... but I didn't feel that "emotional fire" with them. At some points I was second guessing myself, wondering, "What if no one else comes along?" What if I let them pass and regret it later on? But in the end I went back to my stand.
I'm not looking for a Prince Charming. I'm not looking for a hero. I'm just looking for compatibility. For comfort. I want to fall in love. Is that asking for too much?
I told my friend even at my age I would rather stay single than settle for just about anyone. If no one comes, I won't have regrets. I would just continue falling in love with life. There's more to it than a civil status.
