Whether due to challenges in past relationships or a recent series of bad dates, it isn’t uncommon to worry that you won’t find the love you desire. A 2018 survey published by Pew Research Center found that 51% of individuals are single, so if you’re looking for love, one thing is for sure: you’re not the only one. With that in mind, many daters seek encouragement, and if that’s you, you’re in the right place.
Without further ado, here are some quotes about finding love.

What if you feel stuck?
Dating and love aren’t always simple or easy. It can be helpful to concentrate on the parts of life that you can control rather than why you can’t. For example, you can control the way that you treat yourself, and you can make a choice to put yourself out there authentically, but you can’t necessarily control other people or when you’ll find the love you’re looking for. Although there’s certainly nothing wrong with wanting love, there’s value in looking at what you have. Bond with your friends, nurture other areas of life as well as love, and don’t be afraid to confide in someone if you need it. You truly aren’t alone, and you are worthy of the love that you want.
