Final Answer

Leo Buscaglia once said, ~Most of us are pawns in the game of love we don't understand.~ Every person oftentimes feels like the rules are constantly being changed on each of us. it can get to the point where one can get completely confused when there is the slightest hint of a possibility one might fall in love with someone. Life would be much simpler if love came with an instruction manual. For it would tell us where to place ourselves on the board game of life and where specifically we will meet that one special person. In some aspects, when it comes to love, we're all on that proverbial hot seat trying to answer the tough questions somewhat like on that popular game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

In some aspects, the beginning of the game is always easy because the questions asked are simple to answer. The proverbial no brainers that don't need any brain power to figure out. For it's that one simple question that asks what type of person are you looking for in a potential mate? Some, maybe most, of the female population is looking for the stereotypical tall, dark, and handsome kind of guy. Whereas, for the guys, it's just a matter of finding that so-called diamond in the rough who is willing to put up with all the stupid things we eventually do and say somewhere down the road. For it's when each of us thinks we have the answers all figured out, the questions will become harder as time passes on.

Inevitably, there will come a point where each of us will call for a lifeline. One such lifeline is asking the audience which primarily is one's friends and family. A person will sometimes seek their guidance in order to advise him or her on the best alternatives in seeking a possible relationship with that particular person. Yet, most of the time, one ignores the advice given due to conflicting answers to which he or she must leave it up to one's capable hands on who is right for him or her. Oftentimes, that choice has either substantially gained quite a bit more or absolutely bottomed out in which he or she ultimately ends up with nothing but one's high expectations being deflated.

Consequently that proverbial 50/50 shot is given to every person when one is in a dilemma in deciding who one wants to be with when it involves either two guys or two girls. A person just has to weigh the options between the person you are absolutely attracted to visually and makes your heart melt or the person who has been or will always be there for you without ever asking. For some it's a tough decision that will make any person sick to their stomach. One just has to come to a realization in which he or she has to ask himself or herself this question: Who couldn't I ever imagine my life without him or her in it? For he or she is the person that unquestionably will always be the one that truly made your heart smile.

In retrospect, each of us may or may not have the chance to ever sit across from Regis Philbin and possibly have our dreams of a stable financial future come true. Yet, each of us sits or will sit across from that one person, who is considered bigger than any celebrity one will ever meet in his or her life. For that stable financial future has or will come true because true happiness makes two people rich beyond their years. In the end, it's that million dollar question for those that haven't found that someone special yet which asks: Will you ever find true love? For one's choices are: A.) Maybe B.) Someday C.) Never D.) I Don't Know. Speaking for myself I choose B) Someday, and yes, that is my final answer.
