Timing is...Everything?

I'm pitiful...really, I am. First of all, I was supposed to go out tonight. But, funny how this works, I didn't feel like spending time with anyone I don't want to spend time with...so here I am watching the Bachelor instead :P In the Bachelor's pre-interview, the host asked him why he hadn't found love yet. His response was that he had found love, but that the timing wasn't right. He claimed that a lot relies on timing. I suppose this is somewhat true - I mean, if you're not in a position to be open to the possibility of what's in front of you, you're not going to recognize it. However, I wonder what this does for the notion of finding the right person.

Let's take this TV dude's example. If he's saying what caused the demise of his previously love-filled relationship was timing, then what's to say she wasn't the right person?

And then I still go back to the question - is there only one person out there for each of us? I've heard both sides of this argument, and I'm not sure where I fall. Of course the romantic in me enjoys the idealistic nature of the notion that each of us has a soulmate with whom we're somehow connected and to whom we will somehow find our way. But I don't know.

I am, however, confidant that there is at least one someone out there for everyone. When I find mine, then maybe I'll understand it better...
