Over half the adult population in America is single. So no, I don't think there is someone for everyone. We would like to think that romantic notion of having a life partner or soul mate is true but the reality is many many people die neglected isolated deaths in America. Have we really evolved as people? I don't think anyone chooses to be lonely.
I think part of the problem is that many people think that finding your soul mate or lover is going to solve a lot of your problems when in fact it often magnifies them.
Another problem is the pervasiveness of American throw away culture. We just ditch things that don't work. That's how we have learned to solve all our problems including relationships that don't work. We treat a lot of lovers like empty detergent bottles after they go empty on their usefulness, when all they really need is a refill.
