Is this the only way to find true love?
Remember the song Free Falling by Tom Petty? This song can be interpreted in so many ways,
everything from he’s happy to be free from a woman he just broke up with, to the other extreme that he’s addicted to drugs and leaves her because she’s a good girl he doesn’t deserve.

Often you've got to kiss a lot of candidates to get a guy who's right for you
It’s true. We usually do get better from the lessons we learn in how to get a guy who’s right for us long term.
I prefer not to think of my past numerous relationships as mistakes. As this article from Oprah.com “Love Lessons from Bad Breakups” points out, not only does our judgment improve in men, but we learn more about what we want and have to offer to a relationship. Prior to making the commitment to get married, the 34-year old author of this article decided to schedule dates with four of her previous boyfriends starting from her teens.
