I don't believe that intention manifestation works in such an indirect manner, so I don't think the results were anything to do with your efforts in that regard.

I think it's simply that not everyone you meet is going to be ideal, and even people who have been in a lot of relationships and are highly aware might end up in a relationship which initially looks promising, but then fizzles.

Likewise when apartment hunting you're simply going to find a lot of less-than-ideal places.

I think this is a good example of one of the issues with intention manifestation. Positive expectations can lead to disappointment. But I don't think the solution is to expect less, but to not rely on those expectations to manifest. Ironically that's one of the steps of intention manifestation; letting go of the intention and just allowing it to happen.

We're naturally inclined to form expectations but it's not so natural to accept the situation when those expectations are not met. That's what I think you could benefit from working on, C33. I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting the best, as long as you're willing to put in the required effort to get it, and can accept that the rarer it is, the more likely it is that you'll get something you don't want before you get what you do want.
