Happy Halloween All!!
Over the past few years, I've had some paramount loss, some exceptional growth in "who" I am, spiritual peace, peace of heart and even many giggles along the way. 
Throughout this searching, reaching deep inside of my core values, character traits, emotions, etc., I suddenly realized something unusual. In my past, I have been blessed with such wonderful men. I'm speaking in terms of romantic involvements, not just my friends (that I treasure.) BUT today I began to wonder ONE thing:
What if we have been blessed in the past and have reached our limit of wonderful men/women in our personal/romantic lives or involvements? What if there is a "quota" on how many great people you are allowed?
Does anyone else out there ever wonder if you've reached your limit on romantic-love? What if the partners of your past are all you were "allowed" in the book of your life ~ would you be OK with that? Understand it and embrace that? Or would you try to keep an exhaustive search believing there is not a limit and that "no one is supposed to be alone forever."

No.. I will not allow myself to ever think that there is a "quota" on loves either past, or future.. I will press on forever untill I do find the love of my life.

I think Texas's comment on duds is the one I wonder about most. As I've aged, the parameters for loving keep shifting, becoming more expansive in form and agenda, while also being less seduced by the desire for 'the one.'
If one is there...great...if not...great. Life is still a beautiful sunrise and a great hike in the bluffs.
I actually wonder more though if the universe doesn't take life energy and disperse it...so that people you deeply click with, of either gender, of any age, are only in your close range for very short periods of time...and then they are dispersed to deliver their gifts to the world elsewhere. That is one I've wondered about a long time.

Hey Giggle,
Interesting question.
On September 22, I kind of approached the same question from a slightly different angle in a blog called Heard it in a Love Song...

Anyway, I enjoyed your post.

A quota ?!?!?!?  Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! 
Even MatchDoctor tells you when you went over your e-mail limit. 
There would have to be a warning. 
Now, how would that explain those people who have NEVER found love ? 
And those who have had countless partners ? 
I do not believe for one minute that there is any quota, unless it is self imposed.
I believe that YOU are the captain of your own ship.
The winds may blow you to shores you did not predict,
but it is you who decides where and with whom to lay anchor.
Or whatever you decide to lay.

Jim Sez:I believe that YOU are the captain of your own ship.
I agree Jim...I heard about a month ago, that a man saved his boat from sinking by sticking a smurf football in the hole. 
Maybe it would be an idea to keep a couple on hand for emergencies but where the heck should you stick it???

Wow, so many hopeful romantics.... I listen to all these horror stories of break-ups, broken hearts, being dissed/dumped/left for decomposition and I think, "Wow ~ I still love everyone from my past." I've been hurt, cheated on by one person, nevertheless, I still think he's great ~ he just wasn't great with ME.
I see all of these people, thousands of people between my two posting spots who have never had great love in their lives. I've had two. Both were so amazing it's next to impossible to fathom it could be matched or even remotely considered "close-to" either one. And even my short-term relationships were good. Now, I can't even seem to find ONE person that I'd truly like to spend any personal time with and it's been this way for years, not just a little while. I think that I was given the best loves early on ~ while some get their great loves later in life. Those that have never had/found love? I have no explanation for that except to bolster my first question: What if there is a quota and some are allowed none/zero/zip?????

Nope - I refuse to believe there is a quota.
I do believe in having "dry spells" or perhaps blocks of time where things may not happen.
