We need more post like this. The fact of the matter is after 30, most of us are starting to feel cynical in finding "the one". We start thinking about living alone in a cottage full of cats or just living in the basement of your parents' house (not that there's anything wrong with those). Being single after 30 means you've either never had a relationship (rare), divorced or separated (more likely), or dating just got you beaten down to a pulp (highly likely) leaving you highly demoralized with your seemingly hopeless situation like me.

Things like this, as you said OP, somewhat restores our faith and suggests that giving up shouldn't be an option.
