“You will meet someone when you least expect it”

Does anyone else hate being told you will meet someone when you least expect it/don’t go looking for it. I’ve been single for nearly 8 years and it hasn’t happened for me. Doesn’t help that I am a lone parent so definitely not going to happen for me but people still insist I will meet someone when I’m not looking for it (I haven’t looked in 8 years) and it hasn’t happened. Am I wrong in thinking that you actually need to put in effort to meet someone especially these days? Mr right isnt just going to knock on my door. I know people do meet this way but I think it’s very very rare and the majority of people do actually have to make an effort if they want to meet someone and put yourself out there?

It's a throwaway BS comment. 'It'll happen when you least expect it' or 'you have to put yourself out there' both can't be true can they?. Dating, or meeting someone is down to luck. Nothing more.

Yes. Or ‘your perfect man is out there’

Well at 58 and single 5 years he’s hiding himself pretty bloody well 🤣
