Divorced. Do I get another chance at real love? 

I've been divorced for about ten years.  Somewhere since that time I had another 5 year long distance love relationship. I have a rather "deep" 13-year-old daughter.  I don't remember how we got onto the subject the other day, but I said something about thinking I was ready to fall in love and try this thing one more time.  She kindly looked at me and said, "No, I don't think you can do that." I was a bit perplexed.  I probed further.  What does my 13 year old know that I don't??  Am I too old?  Ugly? Too busy? Boring? Set in my ways?  What? She stated simply that love isn't that easy to find and that I've already had that gift in life twice (actually it has been three times, but I didn't correct her on that, lest she turn it into a 3 strikes and you are out conversation!) and so I've used up my turns. I felt a little like I must be in a dream or having an out of body experience.  It is nothing that had ever occurred to me.  If you've fallen in love, done the marry and divorce thing, does it mean you don't get another shot?  Uh, eh, sputter, sputter, as I tried to come back into reality, I gently shared my own philosophy on the subject. There are many people who get divorced, who grow from it and go on to have incredible second marriages.  My own mother, her grandma, is an example. To which she explained, yes, but you've already used up your second chance. (Oh, how I'm glad I didn't tell her about the third one!). I gently nudged and said that perhaps I had a little more growing to do.  And that maybe I didn't learn quite as quickly as some, but that yes indeed, I had grown, and I am quite deserving at another shot at love.  And then, I quickly assured her, that YES, I would be taking another shot at it, and that deep down, I know he's on his way and we will get it right this time.  I do have another chance at real love.  And I am looking forward to experiencing it with the benefit of hindsight being 20-20! Whew!
