Did September 11 inspire you to search for your soul mate? The traumatic terrorist attacks have some people resolving to find true love ... now. (Dating And Relating Debate).(Brief Article)(Statistical Data Included)
* Since September 11, some singles have reported the urge to settle down, says Jane Rinzler Buckingham, Cosmo contributing editor and president of trend-tracking agency Youth Intelligence (YI), in New York City. In a recent YI survey, 14 percent of respondents said that the threat of terrorist acts made them more likely to get married--probably since a steady partner can provide comfort in a time of crisis. So we asked Cosmo readers, in recent months, have you become more determined to meet The One?
YES: desperately searching
63% WOMEN 50% MEN
"Before the attacks, it seemed as if I had a lifetime to find the one person for me--serious relationships were definitely on the back burner. But I've realized that it doesn't matter how far I get in the world. If I don't have love, family, and true friends, then I don't have anything." --Sarah, 18
"Experiencing September 11 without a boyfriend scared me out of my wits. I was home by myself, frantically trying to call anyone on my home or cell phone, seeking out anybody that I knew to talk to. Being alone in a big city during a crisis made me desperately want to find my soul mate." --Meghan, 32
"My boyfriend and I recently got engaged, and I think it was partly in reaction to the 11th. On that horrible morning, as I watched the burning buildings from my window, all I wanted to do was see my guy and make sure he was okay. There was a profound sense that he was the most important person in my life." --Alison, 25
