It's said a lot by may people in good faith, but how accurate is it?
I can only go by my personal experience, but at the age of 28, I can count on my fingers the number of single people I know. As I mentioned in my first blog post, there are a number of reasons why people are single, either through circumstance or through choice. But it's the phrase "plenty of fish in the sea" that people give as advice in discussion forums and comments which puzzles me, it doesn't match the personal experience I have.
If anything, the EU should be putting quotas on single people! From experience at my age, we are a rare breed.
It'll be of no surprise that I decided to focus on myself and live life how I want to and make my own happiness rather than "go fishing". If I find love, great. If not (realism, not negativity) then I'll be happy. It's win, win.
