Two strikes,you're out

I've read this rather scary article last night, stating that each person has a maxmimum of two loves of their lives, with whom they can actually be totally happy. After you blow it with both, you're destined to settle for second best, cause there's no way you'll find anyone ever again that perfectly fits you and contemplates you.

This is a thought that kinda scared me, considering I still, after 3 years, consider R. to be my one true love, even though at the end it worked out horribly, and we'll probably never even say a word to each other again. Does this mean I already used up one of my two possibilities in becoming happy with a guy? If so, that means you have to be really carefull in relationships, so that you won't blow them when they actually mean something. I for one tend to think of people as someone I could easily fall in love with very soon after I've met them, but I do think it's telling that R. is still the only person I can actually tell myself I loved, and still love. My first boyfriend, G. was in my life for a longer period than R. was, yet I don't consider him to be of any significance (to me that is) anymore. I guess now I should be glad with that thought, for otherwise I would have used up both of my chances already, and I'm only 25.

I guess the shit comes up when you turn older and you still haven't found that significant other you really see as significant. Sure enough, I know that at 25 there isn't really that much to worry about just yet, but I do know now you should always be on the look-out, even if this means a total contradiction with my post from yesterday...
