That is the big question. One I cannot answer. I am in that predicament at the moment. Settle for the one I dont love but can take care of me or hold out for love? Should I 'settle' or wait?dunno

Hold out for love, love shouldnt have to grow later on it should just happen with out you knowing it is happening. Id rather be alone for the rest of my life than with a man l dont love.
Im lucky enough to be in a relationship, its early days buts its going really well and with him lm not settling for second best cause he is the best. I would never settle for second best.

We shouldn't have to settle for 2nd best as really not what we are after but sometimes we make the mistake of doing so but in doing that there are always going to be those

But what if......


So No don't settle unless you are sure you are making the right decision for yourself.

We know when we have the right one, you just know but sometimes, things happen and your paths go different ways and it doesn't happen but you know in your gut, what could of been .......


and sometimes it is hard to find those feelings and chemisry that was just naturally there 1st time and no one has yet to come close but we just hope that one day, pref soon, we will meet another and know it when you do

So why have you hooked up with someone you know you dont love? and if you know he can take care of you then what is the sort of love you would like to wait for?

I suppose it depends on what you are planning, just for now, or for here and after.

Just for now, I can maybe understand accepting second best, but if it is for here and after why would you settle for second best.

Dont sell yourself, and your long term happiness short. But also remember the old adage of "all that glitters is not gold"wave

She has been for her short term check up, passed with flying colours.
In six weeks she has to have an xray to check all is well.

She is sick of eating mush, but enjoying the food I am now cooking for her. $2.60 a can of mushy dog food for her was getting a little ridiculous! Think she prefers my cooking anyway!

She has put on weight, and honestly, if I hadnt seen what happened I would struggle to believe that she has been through what she has.

so she is great grin peace thanks

Yay glad to hear it wave

As far as the topic is concerned, I think it's up to the individual.

But I'm not sure I could be with someone who didn't rock my boat - at the very least I think it's unfair on them, it's as if your fooling them a little bit?

I've been with people in the past, realising along the way that there was really no future in it, even though I had no expectations at the outset.

So then you need to be honest and say so, and then there's hurt involved and no one wants to go round hurting people if they can help it.

So I've chosen to stay single until the feeling's mutual thumbs up

I would never stay with someone I didn't love that would make me very unhappy rather be where I am now single and happy. Biding my time if love floats by would be lovely and if it doesn't don't matter as long as I'm happy. grin daydream batting

How would you feel if you found out that they were settling for second best?

And you are not exactly what they really wanted?

And if so? are either of you being honest to each other from the start?
