... love the one you're with.

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? You can't be with someone you truly want, for whatever reason. So you start up with someone who is interested in you. How did it end up? Did you fall for that person then? Was it a messy break-up? Just curious.

Never been there myself....I do not believe in the saying love at first site...others of course will say they have had it happen....I do not dispute this claim....but I do know if given a chance love will indeed grow stronger as time goes on...

I've never been in this situation either, but here goes. If I am in love with someone, and they love me, The other ladies lose some of their lustre. I wouldnt want to hurt that someone who loves me so I probably wouldnt go there. Now if I loved someone and they didn't love me I might go down this road. Much to my dismay, I seem to be a one woman man.dunno

The One I Lovekiss is Worth Waiting For is how I see it, or Nothing At Allsigh

My heart is pretty picky and doesn't fall for someone very quickly or very easyconversing He has to be able to touch a place that the average Joe (sorry all you Joes) cannot reach inside my heart & soulheart beating

I would rather be single and at Peace, than in a relationship with someone just so I would not be alone.professor

Don't ever settle for a half-hearted Love Affair, it's not fair to the other person, nor fair to yourselfhug

if you cant be with the one you truely love , isnt it a bit like giving the other person false hope as they believe you love them , but maybe always thinking about the one you truely love ,
after time your feelings might change and you grow to love the person your with , if you never truely love them and break up it wouldnt hurt your feelings so much but the other person may well be left devastated jmo

I was single for many years, because I didnt want to "settle". It never works.

The fact that Im no longer single, means that I found the guy for me, and didnt accept second best. I got the best, and Im glad I waited for him.

cheers

So true... I settled in love before (for 7 years) and will not do it again; it's all or single.
Well, I do believe in the friends with benefits construction, but that has nothing to do with love laugh

If I would be truly in love with someone and I can't be with him, I would have to get over the love before I could ever be with someone else... it wouldn't work for me otherwise.

I'm glad you found the one for you and waited... it gives me hope laugh
I've been single for about 6 years now and am quite enjoying my freedom and independance. I just hope that if the right one comes along, I'm not too set in my ways or too attached to my independance to not recognize him for what he is confused

I guess the reason I am still by myself is I am not willing to be with just anybody. Until the 'right' one comes along I going to enjoy my own company.

I was in this situation,I could not be with him because of the distance,but I can't be with someone just because he is interested by me,I must have something in common and to have some feelings for that person.

Someone else's fingers might be good occasionally too, or a hand, depending on your situation.grin

Yes, I have. It pretty much sucked. Was happy when I walked away and regretted getting involved in the first place. Loneliness hurts at times, but it is worse to feel lonely while being with someone. That's why I am not settling for crumbs anymore-it's all or nothing, for I know I am worth it wink
