"True Love" is overrated. And pasionate lightning-strikes love rarely lasts (or remains faithful). You find someone whom you are attracted to and whose values you deeply respect. Love comes in time. Relationships are very hard work--nothing is harder. But it seems these women are looking for something out of a Harlequin romance novel rather than reality. So odds are they will never be happy. My advice--lower your expectations and you have a much better chance of finding someone you can love.

And if one wants her daughter to find a good mate, keep them away from romance novels.
I'm not kidding. Many girls I knew that were addicted to these are alone or have been through a string of marriages.
They are bad news.
