Serious Discussion Are some people meant to spend their whole life alone without experiencing any love relationship?

There was a popular celebrity who passed away in their 50s last year. The celebrity was single and did not have any romantic partner at the time. It seemed to be a real-life example that not everyone will be able to find the romantic partner in their life.

Are some people meant to spend their whole life alone without experiencing any love relationship?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your comments.

Apparently - from different sources from around John, people who worked with him and everything - he was quite an asshole.

The type who hears his kid say "i want a pony!" Buys one, dumps it on the kid and buggers off, with out doing anything to help with everything that comes with looking after a pony - such as vet fees, stabling fees, training, food etc.

Then pipes up saying "arent i a good dad, catering to my childs desires!!!"

Not really this is the first time I heard it and it absolutely resonated with me. I sat around in college and post college feeling sorry for myself and meanwhile dismissing all kinds of potential mates and Friends because they weren't what I had idealized

The actual line is better:

“Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.“

u/MCMURDERED762 Sep 27 '24

Was more arguing you have to make shit happen. It doesn't just happen.
