Is it normal to feel that relationships are so random?

Doesn't have to apply only to relationships, but really anyone could have a perfect partner or perfect friend somewhere in the world who they will never meet. People are separated by country, culture, religion. Even in the same country, for example two people where one lives in New York and one lives in California. The internet, social media, and technology has brought people together but it's not perfect. We are pretty much restricted to a few social circles, like family, friends, classmates, coworkers. Basically like of people we know or people who know other people that you know. You can go and join activities and organizations but that's still only scratching the surface. So much of who we cross paths with in life comes down to random luck and chance. There are tons of people out there who we will never come into contact with even though they could have been potentially awesome connections.

    That's why it's good to travel if you can and get out more.

    I suppose one could expand one's horizons and chances of meeting that perfect partner by traveling a lot.
    Interestingly though, the majority of my most intense relationships have been with American women I've met in the states.
    Though I've been with women from many countries and backgrounds, it is much easier to be with someone who shares a common background with you.
    For instance, the little jokes and facetious comments one often makes are lost on someone from another culture. Stories told of one's upbringing are like tales from another planet to someone who has never visited your country, and vice versa.
    It's not that these things are a deal breaker, but they do create a tiny gulf between two people that can take a great deal of time and effort to cross.
    So I wouldn't be too anxious to look too far afield, when that perfect fit might be just down the street.
