As of 2012, there are 7.046 billion people in the world. Trying to find the person for you may seem impossible looking at this number. But consider it this way, the gender that you prefer takes away a large amount of this population. Next, take away everyone who is not in the age group that you are interested in. Finally, everyone has their specific standards which also eliminates a large portion of the remaining population. When you look at this way, there is a small percentage of people left for you to consider. It is not as hard as people make it seem, but it does take work.
The first mistake people make is judging by the appearance of someone. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not innocent in this situation, but I have learned that there is so much more to a person then the way they look. You need to get to know someone before you decide whether or not to take a chance with them. You have so many years ahead of you so is it going to hurt to take an hour out of your day getting to know someone? Even if after that hour you decide you are not interested, it's always nice getting to know people.
The second mistake is focusing on a person's flaws. Look in the mirror, you have them too. Everyone does. But everyone has also has so many good qualities that should allow to overlook those flaws. It's part of who they are, and you need to accept that and twenty years from now those flaws may be the reason that smile or laugh. They could be what keeps you going.
The point that I am trying to make is to not give up, give everyone a chance because who knows, that person you passed on the street when you were in a rush could be your soul mate. Take time out of your day to find what you are looking for.
