Relationships are not "things" that can be ordered up or bought in a grocery store, like Progressive or Allstate Insurance? You don't want to choose just "anyone" because they want to settle down?

In my opinion, knowing who you are and who the person is you date, as individuals, is the most important part of making a relationship work. Getting to know another (assuming you know yourself well already) takes time and a lot of work, lots of conversations and observation of present behaviors and learning about past ones. Speed dating where one of the questions is, "Do you want to settle down?" isn't going to do it?
