  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Finding a partner to love is often seen as a challenging process. We may struggle with dating and encounter various obstacles along the way. However, beneath our conscious desire for love, there lies a secret wish to remain single. This wish, although unspoken, can be influenced by a range of understandable reasons. The pain of hoping and potentially being disappointed is one such reason. We may also fear choosing partners who will ultimately hurt us or possess our own flaws that make relationships difficult. Keeping a distance from others can seem safer, as can avoiding the heartbreak of failed love. Furthermore, we may believe that no one is as perfect as the attractive strangers whom we never engage with. Longing for love from afar can sometimes feel more satisfying than the reality of a relationship. Additionally, avoiding love protects us from the potential pain of being hurt. There may also be discomfort in repeatedly exposing ourselves to strangers on a physical and emotional level. Lastly, our childhood experiences may not have equipped us with the necessary instincts for navigating the complex game of love. These thoughts are often challenging to admit to ourselves and our friends, so we often resort to subtly disguising our true intentions through carefully orchestrated accidents.
  • Subtitles section
  • The process of locating a partner we can love is famously so hard, it may for a long time disguise an alternative, even more complicated reality, that whatever we claim, it would be a lot easier for us if we never found a partner.
  • The hurdles of dating undeniably exist.
  • That doesn't mean that they aren't also being gratefully used to hide, mostly from ourselves, a harder to mention wish to remain on our own.
  • Consciously, we may tell ourselves that we would dearly love to land on a compatible partner.
  • Inside, we are hard at work ensuring we won't – and for a variety of hugely understandable reasons.
  • Because it's simply too painful to hope.
  • Because we've realised that we have too much talent for identifying people who then go on to torment us.
  • Because we've had enough of other people's madness and too much experience of our own.
  • Because we end up feeling that humans are probably best to be enjoyed from a distance.
  • Because recovery from a love that promised a future can rob us of too many of our remaining years.
  • Because we've understood, finally, how properly difficult we are to live with.
  • Because no one is as perfect as the many attractive strangers we will never speak to.
  • because longing alone can be so much more gratifying than a scratchy day to day reality with someone else.
  • Because if we never love, we cannot be hurt.
  • Because there has to be a limit to how many times we can be expected to take off our clothes in front of a stranger.
  • And last and not least, because we didn't have the sort of childhood to develop the right instincts for this game.
  • But as these are all very difficult thoughts to own up to, to ourselves and our friends, we may prefer to disguise our true intentions behind a choreography of well designed accidents.
  • Love would have been delightful, it was just that we chose people who we knew would be busy.
  • We failed to call back those who were keen.
  • We left the party before most people arrived.
  • We've declared that they're all boring and unattractive.
  • We disappointed others before they stood any chance of disappointing us.
  • As a result, we can continue to experience with security one of the most risk free of all beliefs – that we would love to love if only we found the right person.
  • We may be denied a partner, but we can hold on to something yet more precious – a sense of safety and a sure belief that the appropriate candidate would, if they arrived, be capable of solving our suffering.
  • There may be few stronger romantics than those who manage carefully, and sometimes perhaps even wisely, to steer clear of anyone to be romantic with.
