Getting depressed because I thought I'd never find a relationship

I've been looking for a nice female for a great relationship for a long time. A little over 3 years now. Twice I thought I had found the right woman and both times it turns out they didn't meet my minimum standards.

My minimums aren't that tough, not over weight by to much, intelligent, honest, reliable, does what she says she will do. Now my ideal and/or perfect woman description can be found here. What I want in a woman or girl for a dating or lifetime relationship but I don't expect to find anyone who meets all of the things I want. This would be my PERFECT WOMAN and I doubt she exists.

I also have plenty of ideas how I'd like my perfect relationship to be. However like my perfect woman is what I'd love to have but not so much what I expect to end up with. We all know nothing is perfect but at least I know what I will accept in a woman and in a relationship.

That puts me far ahead of most people who will accept the first woman who comes along and likes them. Been there, done that, didn't work very well. You can read about that here. My idea of a perfect relationship with my perfect woman .

So at my age of 60 I was beginning to lose hope about finding a woman or relationship I want. Day before yesterday I regained all of my hope.

An old guy of 68 came into the motel office to check out. Dressed shabbily, no teeth and driving a late 80's or early 90's slightly rusty Oldsmobile or Pontiac. In the back seat was a pretty young woman and two little girls in car seats.

The woman turned out to be 34 years old and the girls turned out to be twins. I thought perhaps it was his daughter and grand daughters but I was wrong. She was his wife and the kids were his.

There's still hope for me. ;)
