It seems to me like a lot of people find a truly significant "significant other" just when they decide to stop looking, slow down, and enjoy all the other aspects of their lives. I've seen it happen to lots of people, including myself. I don't know, there seems to be something about being relaxed and at peace with wherever you stand in life that makes finding someone easier. Kind of like how you find your keys right when you finally stop looking for them and get a new key made, only much more romantic.
