I don't want to play 'try and fail', I don't want to get divorced. And many of you said 'it would come' - yeah, suppose it would, but how can I know it is the genuine one, not 'made in China'? What if I fall for Mr. Wrong and marry him before Mr. Right appears?

Sure there are many bad examples, but many good ones as well. Bottom line: unless you can look into the future, you won't know whether you'll stay with this person the rest of your life. People change. Relationships change. But ask yourself this: what if you find your knight in shining armour, but
don't marry him because you're scared he's not the one and you want to keep on looking ? Wouldn't that be worse than finding out after a couple of years maybe it isn't meant to be ?
And oh: if you don't want to get divorced ... don't get married

Very well said! You have to take chances every now and then. Like talking to people on the train
