Hello!!!!
The Argentinian comic adaption sounds interesting.
I've seen the Witcher, too. Sometimes there are episodes that happened years ago, and it took us some time to understand that. My husband for example was amused, that some women looked alike, until I told him, that's because that's the same woman!!! "But she is dead!" "In this episode not yet." Confusing. LOL.
I have not yet read the book to this season, but I think it is promising. It is supposed to be the Witcher telling someone stories of his life. The single episodes are in fact each one of the stories, not always in chronological order.
Otlan: Don't worry. There must be a woman for you. But it doesn't seem to work, if you go out looking for one.
Lots of people find their partner as soon as they stopped looking. Don't give up hope yet.

Hi!
Yes, I liked that about the Witcher. At first it was confusing but then it was fun. I have not read the books nor played the gamed (Hubby did play them though, so I was familiar with a few things he told me about) so it is all new for me.
And about what you told Otlan, I know it was like that for me. I distinctly remember one day that I decided I was feeling great as I was, with no partner. It was the same semester I began to get closer to the person who I chose to live my life with.

For me too. After 9 years as a single. It took me two years to get over a love that didn't love me back. At least he was honest with me. The you-are-my-best-friend talk and so on.
After that I was looking and looking. Even was on some dates. But those were all guys who were too different from me. No interest in science fiction or fantasy or music. And I realized that I was not myself during those dates. I was playing a role I thought they liked. That was wrong.
A few months before we got together I had accepted, that I would probably live my life alone.
My husband I knew for some years before I realized he was the one. We were singing together.
I can think it is important that you have the same basic interests but also enough different ones but in that at least tolerance for the differences in your partner's interests.
Always be true to yourself. Tell people what you think except when it would hurt them. Then don't sugarcoat. Rather say nothing at all.
And don't go looking in places you would never go to if you weren't looking. For example if you don't go to clubs, then don't go looking for a girlfriend in a club.
If you like books or video games, then maybe go looking for women in places where you would get those.

That part happened more or less the same for me. Not many dates but I tried a couple of times to be someone I was not. And, just like you, I decided against it, no matter if that meant to be alone. And I had known my "not-husband" (we are not actually married) since we began the career, we were classmates. And in our final year we got closer, we began talking not only about science because about comics, we began borrowing comics from each other, then I invited him a couple of times to see Star Trek at home (he did not have cable at the time) and then one step lead to another...
I think your advices were very good too.
Doroga's Cousin:
As much as I like the sentiment, I've always thought that that line of thought is along the lines of "It's always in the last place you look for it." Because, well, of course it is. :P
On an unrelated note, I'm super excited. My best friend is finally out of basic training and on a base with regular phone/internet access so he can hang out with our group on discord. It was a long three months.
