Agreed with others about the topic of this song. A few lines that are important that no one has brought up:
"They were going to meet on a Rocky Mountain Street..." is the start of the verse about excitement, fantasy, and unrealistic expectations. The following verse is talking about anticipation and the routine things we have all experienced before meeting someone who they are interested in.
"They were going to meet on a crummy little street..." is the start where the character comes to face reality that he still hasn't found his true love and this date won't amount to anything. The "spark" that the character in the first verse was hoping for, "never came to be."
However, the most important part of the song is when the fadeout starts and it he changes, "They were going to meet..." into, "We were going to meet..." which indicates that we have all had thoughts about meeting someone, sweeping them off their feet and living happily-ever after, which is obviously unrealistic.
