A friend of mine ("E") had 3 deep & long relationships (one of which was a marriage) over 30+ years, and all 3 had pretty tragic endings. But my friend eventually started dating folks she 'met' via JDate. Over the course of a couple of years of dating (or not), E was never satisfied with her dates. But this one guy ("M" [not me!]) kept inviting her to concerts & dinner, and they spoke on the phone several times a week. E was sure he wasn't her 'type, but she enjoyed his company.
Fun anecdote: When my wife & I were stranded with a dead car on the first evening of a getaway weekend, E called M to get a rental car & towing arranged for us!
It took over a year, but in the end E & M got married and had some very excellent years together.
I guess the moral of the story is simply "don't push people away"...
