Yes, but it is a sick, distorted, one sided love.

Re: Are you is forever alone?

Most math people I know are in a relationship. But it does take "finding the right person".

Does it happen by trial or accident?

Re: Are you is forever alone?

Without conducting a survey I would say that most relationships start while actively trying to find someone.

Re: Are you is forever alone?

    {{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}}

        It is a time of darkness. While the Sultan is off fighting a
        foreign war, his Grand Vizier Jaffar has seized the reins of
          power. Throughout the land, people groan under the yoke
                  of tyranny, and dream of better days.

           You are the only obstacle between Jaffar and the throne.
       An adventurer from a foreign land, innocent of palace intrigues,
        you have won the heart of the Sultan's lovely young daughter.
        And in doing so, you have unwillingly made a powerful enemy.

       On Jaffar's orders, you are stripped of your sword and possessions,
       and thrown into the Sultan's dungeons. As for the Princess, Jaffar
         gives her a choice, and an hour to decide: Marry him -- or die.

        Locked in her room high in the palace tower, the Princess rests all
        her hopes on you. For when the last sands drain from the hourglass,
       her choice can bring only a throne for the Grand Vizier... a new reign
        of terror for his long-suffering subjects... and death for the brave
                           youth who might have been...

                                Prince of Persia.

    {{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}}

Oppan Gangnam Style!

Re: Are you is forever alone?

+=+=+=+=+=
THE STORY!
+=+=+=+=+=

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you stowed away on a ship bound for Persia, little did you dream
that would fall in love with the Sultan's beautiful young daughter.
Still less could you have imagined that you, an unknown adventurer with
neither wealth nor title, would win her hand and be hailed by an
adoring population as the new Prince of Persia.

In fact, the Sultan has counted on marrying his daughter, if not to a
king, then at least to a prince whose wealth and stature would
favorably complement his own. The thought of giving her up to someone
such as yourself upset the Sultan so much that he nearly ordered your
head cut off on the spot.

Only the Princess's quick intervention saved your life. And only by
means of the most eloquent pleading (backed by copious tears) was she
able to persuade her father to grant your request. So it was that
Persia gained a new Prince.

This, at least, is how you remember it.

Until, one morning, you enter the throne room and find your place at
the Princess's side already taken by someone who bears a disturbing
ressemblance to you. Worse, even the Princess doesn't recognize you.

At a word from the "Prince", the Sultan's guards lay hold of you. This
is no time to argue. You break free and leap through the stained glass
window on the rooftop of the palace. With every guard in Persia after
you, you barely escape with your life by jumping onto a merchant ship.

As the wind carries you away from Persia, ever further away from the
Princess and the happiness that was all too briefly yours, you vow that
from this moment on you will live only to find your way back. You
don't know who your enemy is, nor how you will defeat him...but between
you and the solution to his mystery lies your greatest adventure yet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prince must be Gangnam style

Dancing around horses is not the definition of Gangnam Style.

Just because it is nt a part of the definition does not mean he cannot do it.

There have been plenty of princes around before and none of them have even heard of that.

Forget about the Gangnam style, those two codes answer this question.
