Well... I am... old enough and I am in the happiest and mental healthiest relationship of my life. Sure it's only been three years so far, but my boyfriend and I spent much of each day together as we are both self-employed and work out of our house. We do consider the depth of our relationship quite rare. We have common interests with motorsports, business ideas, cooking and everything on the history and science channels. We can talk about anything and go to sleep at night still discussing everything. We do spend separate time with other people, but are always happy to return home to each other. I am not a clingy female by any means, and he is not an insecure jealous male. I can talk car shop with any mechanic. I am not a typical female and abhor shopping malls.
But it is quite possible to find someone that you would want to spend most of your waking hours with. But it helps to base the relationship on more than just physical attraction. It helps to have a wide horizon of interests.
I am sad to say that I find the company of most girls and women quite boring. But that is what happens when our culture is only impressed with women who are beautiful...
Not all men are good company either, but I come across more interesting men than women.

I am very capable of evaluated a young female like Scarlett, and part of that is being a female myself. In addition, as someone who loves movies, I feel that I can also tell an extraordinary actor or actress from a mediocre one. I was in the pit orchestra of a number of musicals in high school and I am quite familiar with a director's handling of his talent. What Scarlett has going for her is her beauty and youth. Dakota Fanning has more talent and perceptiion than she does. I am thinking that Scarlett's problem (like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the ilk) is that she (and they) are lacking in the culture and academic departments. The reading of good literature would help her (and them) out a lot.
I have never said that Scarlett is a bad actress, but she has a long ways to go to be considered a great actress. Right now for her, with any potential movie role, it will be a battle of the blondes or nymphettes with the studio picking the girl with the biggest box office draw.

I'm going to pass on the God bless as I am a decided atheist.
