Of course! That's why you have to increase your chances.

The ones I've met that way ended up breaking my heart almost every time.

How have you been going about it?

Some *less* interesting people can be found there too (not you, of
course!)

Well, obviously that's the hard part. Except for meeting someone, that's
the hard part too. And getting past the third date, that's the really hard
part. Or making it past six months...

For me, the hardest part of all is finding someone who inspires me. If I
could do that, I would have all the incentive I need to get past the other
hurdles. It's especially hard when I still have feelings for someone else.
