Prince is married to his guitar and the songs are his children.
Relationships can be a pain in the butt and you can't control them like you can control your own creativity and music.

so why has he not found the 'one' yet?

How do you know he hasn't? Because YOU'RE not aware? I'll bet on one thing for sure: He's doing WHATEVER and WHOEVER he chooses. And I'd also bet he's happy and content with just that.



Your right, I dont know that he hasnt found the one yet, but from listening to planet earth I get the distinct impression that he is lonely, or alone, and he wants to find someone to share his life with, but then that comes down to the whole issue of whether or not his songs are autobiographical or not.
Oh Princey if your free for a couple of hours...If you aint busy for the next 7 years...Lets Pretend were married, and go all night..

Just wondering why Prince is still single, and has numerous failed relationships behind him, when clearly from his music he sounds like the perfect Boyfriend?

Honestly, I think he sounds like the most amazing lover/husband/partner, like if you were loved by him you would be the luckiest perosn alive, so why has he not found the 'one' yet?



This is really a good question, This Lover must be One of a kind, referring to all his lyrics, words, he must surely be a much passionate novel to drown into and being ispired by, all the time.
As his music, whenever You listen to it, You discover a pure new sound, a sigh, a silence not heard before..
Even though as a Pal, a Mate..makes me wander,
His Fame, Fortune make him become unreachable for simple ones, and the ones who get the luck to approach him don't see, meet and love him as he deseves..
The man himself must surely questionning himself more and more, whenever One gets close to him: "Is it for me, or my notoriety, my Fortune? "
Who was the one who "loves me for me"? who loved him for him?

I always felt that Mayte was really his soul mate, but he just is so used to controlling things that when they lost the child he withdrew and didn't know how to give or receive comfort, so he turned to the only thing he knew his music. confused

I agree. The grief for the loss of their son has taken its toll on their relationship.

May God, The Org, (And Prince) forgive me if I am wrong, because I have no factual evidence to support my suspicion (but then again, who has ANY facts concerning Prince), but I never believed that story regarding his alleged son.

The man appears to be searching for perfection and it doesn't exist. He wants a woman who can bend in the wind but don't break which sounds nice and sweet but when that "wind" includes cheating and being controlling, most women will end up tellling the old windbag "bye bye". I love Prince and all but he really is too self involved to ever have a meaningful relationship with ANYONE. That's just my twocents.

Yep that's exactly why I asked that question - it's clear that he has phenomenal powers of empathy, especially getting into women's minds ("Deep down I know what you want..." etc.), but then so do some fiction and film writers and it doesn't mean that all of the stories they tell are based on their own feelings. I think that's the risk with assuming the PE lyrics reflect a current desire to meet 'the one' and settle down, but unlike some other orgers I do find it interesting to look at him as a person as well as loving the music!

You're not alone in that.
Since I got here, I've wanted to learn as much as I can about Prince, both within the music and the person behind the music. Coming in, I didn't really know any of his music, but knew the dedication he put into it. I learn about his life and incorporate that into my interpretations of his work and sometimes even vice versa to figure out why he wrote certain songs.

I think the PE does a pretty good job showing what he deeply desires in a relationship. His problem is the following through, I think. But based on the album's vibe, he's doing fine on his own and doesn't need anyone right now (unless of he's already found someone and is keeping her very secret wink ).

In response to the soulmate question, I still believe Mayte was the one. But I'll have listen thru Emancipation to really see what he sees. I don't think anyone else made him happier, though. How things didn't work out, I might never know, but I try to look for clues within the music so I'm not prying too much into his personal life otherwise.

A lot of relationships develop too many problems...Lust is necessary, however, that is always the easy part of the work between two people.

Most puppy loves exist between the boy and the girl that live right down the street from one another or go to the same high school. When there is a planet outside of your own little town.

Not every person that you lust physically that God has thrown into your path is someone you should dive into bed with.

And for men that treat women like they are on some type of sexual menu, to quench their thirst...will find someday that a woman a day will only lead to the end of your life with peices of women...you could never collect them all.

And women, Use sex to manipulate a man, and he falls for it, and then they usually dive into his pockets, to compensate for the fact, that they are not the only pretty girl in the world.

Understanding relationships should be discussed within life classes in elementary school through high school, to prepare the children of the world for the fact, that when your hormones are racing, and you fall into puppy love, it doesn't mean that a happy child will be born from the couple.

Many of us marry too young, and those that don't, marry out of convenience, rather than being true to what their heart is looking for.


Very deep words, most of which i agree to!! We all do silly things and continue to do so!!! He's better of on his own!

I believe he is having trouble finding a woman that can deal with a side of himself, that not many men possess(or will allow themselves to act out and feel),his feminine side.Some women might take it the wrong way,or not want to be with a man more sensual and sexy than she is,and be intimidated by him.That in turn, would make it impossible for him to be his true self, and be all the man that he is capable of being to someone.Knowing what we know about him,he is serious about everything he does,not the kind of man that would want to hold back anything from someone he truly loves.Their are many happy,fulfilled,truly in love entertainers.Some people don't mind sharing them with their music,and all that it entails.I have always thought that men that show their feminine side are the most sexy of them all!!!!! Ladies if you haven't been with a man like this,you don't know what you are missing.I mean real men with those qualities,that deal with women only!!

I guess he's as all human being the more he grows wise the difficult the search is to find a soul mate a One that'll collide perfectly..Mayte fitted him really well and his music at that time was passionately dynamic. Being deceived twice he must be very careful now.
Also as an Artist he Needs to find constant inspiration from the beloved, so rare those kind of Pearls...Once bitten, twice shy, maybe "Love is a losing game"

Yup. And then later, when the relationship went south, he'd write lyrics about how you spent all day pickin' out something to wear. rolleyes

Because he still hasn't admitted to himself and accepted what it is that he really wants, which is a man.

Exactly.I also don't think Prince is the "marrying kind".He puts his music first,and no wife can compete with that.


nod Didn't Appollonia once say that Prince was "married to his music" or something to that effect?

His relationships dont last because he obviously has 'issues'.

He sees women as he wants to see them 'in his mind', when those women dont fullfill that image he ultimately dumps then.

Its his problem, and as long as he doesnt deal with it, it will remain.

I also think it has a lot to do with his anxiety to become really vulnerable and intimate.

I mean, when you listen to his music, there are just a handfull of songs where he sounds like he is really speaking his heart out.

There always seems to be a 'but if....' in the form of a distorded vocal, a bragging textline or an occasional emotionally sounding delivery, that appears to be a 'trick' when you listen more to it.

In the end, i think Prince is affraid to just open himself up, and see what happens, there is always the control-freak that jumps up, the awkward, suspicous guy who is expecting people to fool around with him.
