Why is there that saying there is more fish in the sea when it comes to relationships?

It's usually used when someone is going through a breakup - either a guy or a gal.





It basically says, ';there are more fish out there';, meaning if you're looking (fishing), you'll find (catch) someone else.





I think it's kind of a dumb saying... but there are certainly a lot worse :-)Why is there that saying there is more fish in the sea when it comes to relationships?
It's either a sign to not give up hope


or a sign to try to fish somewhere else.


However if people would keep trying to put the same effort in keeping a romance alive as they did to when the hearts of that person, the romance would never fail.


Or start for that matter.


The person would find out before the heartbreak what the other one is really like.Why is there that saying there is more fish in the sea when it comes to relationships?
OMG...That's nonsense and totally not true...


Even though there's a lot of fish in the ocean, you can't like them all...


you'll still search for the one you've lost and loved...


hehehe


so it's better to say ';there's a lot of fish in the ocean but you can't find nemo';
♦ Telling you that there are more people out there.





If someone is fishing and pull up a little fish, or one not to there liking, they can throw it back, because there are more fish in the sea.. (get a different one)
it is an old fishing analogy. life is like fishing if one fish gets off your hook there are plenty enough fish in the sea. it probably came from a man to his son we are often not comfortable talking about that stuff.
There really are more people out there that's what it means. Belive me I was a batter wife for 5 years and never thought I would meet anyone so nice until I meet my match my husband now for 28 years God I love that man so there you go yes it is true
because there arfe so many people in this world u will find another one enventually for u that is just write lol
Because many fish can change genders and if guys/girls aren't working for you doctors can change that
This means that if something happens to the relationship, that there is always someone out there for you to meet.

A Great ';Oldie';....';Too Many Fish in the Sea';.....Many to choose from, why hurry.....??
it means there are always other people to have a relationship with if your relationship with someone fails
You could just say there are more people in the world, but people like to make it seem more interesting.
So you don't feel bad after breaking up with your other fish...um, I mean boyfriend/girlfriend.
Telling you don't give up, there is someone better around the corner.
wishful thinking......
It means get over the one you lost out on and keep trying.
that there's more people out there for you if it doesn't work out with that one person
because every girl has a fish for you to bite.... haha
you'll find someone better.


they're more guys out there. (or girls)
gee, i don't know...let me think about your tough question for a while.
more people out there to love
to give you hope.
