The Law of Attraction, Dating and "Near-Misses"

I have been reading this Abraham quote a lot lately:
"You don't have to be pure and perfect to begin to be the recipient of avalanches of evidence of well being. In other words, you just have to tip the scale a little bit in order for you to begin to receive the evidence of it.
As you begin to tip the scale, you'll have some, what you will later call, "near-misses": Someone who initially looks pretty good will come in. And by closer scrutiny or exploration, you'll discover, "This isn't quite right," and you'll say, "Oh, Universe! You have foiled me again! (laughter) You have brought to me someone less than I want!"
And we say, Oh! It is just a near-miss! It is evidence that you're getting closer and closer. Don't you notice all of these things that were nearly right? And didn't the parts that weren't right help you to clarify more clearly what it is that you are wanting? And aren't you now sending off clearer signals about what you do want?
And as you're reaching for thoughts that feel good, are you not aligning to these yet clearer signals about what you are wanting? And is your future not brighter? Is it not more assured of satisfying you when it comes? And aren't you willing to sort of cool your jets and relax a little bit, and wait for the perfect timing of the unfolding of this?" -- Abraham-Hicks

I have been widowed for 18 months now and all during that time I have known that at some point I would want to have another relationship. My intention is and has always been "the right relationship with the right person at the right time".

Recently I have just known that it is time to start moving forward with my life. In so many ways, I feel like I have been reborn. I have a renewed zest for live and am so eager to get out in the world and have some fun. One of the things I have been doing is meeting people on an online dating site.

I have met some wonderful people who I know almost from the beginning are "not the one", but they are wonderful people. I have come to realize that every of them comes with a gift. Something I need to learn or know or ponder. Each one is more than a "near miss" it is a way to further clarify exactly what I want and I am grateful to have such an awesome and fun opportunity to "fine tune".
