Yes door number three...when you know very well that door numbers one and two hold the one who would have been better for you....

So then why do we always seem to choose the one that will break your heart...but you give them that heart so willingly?sigh

Hi wikked,

I think its because you dont get to see whats behind doors #1 and 2 till its too late, and you've already commited to your first choice.

Also, alot of people men and women alike seem to like whats no good for them the best. dunno

Door #3 .....

Should have hazard tape across the opening

Enter at your own risk

Crossing this threshold is hazardous to your heart!




We see the warning signs.... but enter anyways

I ran across this quite a few times, and I have learnt that knowing what you want, but having no true expectations when going into something new provides an equal ground for each to learn the other without things being awkward. The moment the bar starts to get raised that wasn't there, or apparent before, the more awkward it can feel for one or both and it can be a deal-breaker just the same.

I never gave anyone my heart so readily, so I don't understand the question.

I'm still waiting for the one who will be compatible with me. Although, to be quite honest, at my age I think it's about time to own up to the fact that I missed the boat.

I chose a life of loneliness rather than accepting what was behind door #3

So I guess that's my answer.

That's just old fashioned buyers remorse.

Like driving by a house after you just bought one

and thinking the house you didn't buy was a better deal.


If you knew as much about door #1 and #2 they probably weren't

any more suitable than door #3.

Actually I'm wrong.

I have offered women behind door #3 my heart.

They rejected it.

So I can't say that I didn't try. applause

why does most everyone take on the greatest challenge?? will the success big sweeter and more memorable? does picking the easiest most compatible person scream "Boring"? how many of us have passed up something we know to try something new and different??? some of our lives are so mundane, that it is romance that gives us the twinkle in the eye the spark, the motivation or challenge that we all need.

As for knowing our hearts will be broke....we always have the belief in "love conquers all" and the ever popular "if only" or "all they would have do to" , the "i thought" is good. At this time it should be understood by us all that regardless of the choices we make..No Guarantee, pain and hurt is ineviditable...But love can ease and heal the hurt, shoot love can grow leaps and bounds from hurt.

As for just taking Door number 3, well, I know #3 will be a challenge but if #3 is aware that door #2 and #1 has been opened or are still available to me it sorta places some doubt on them as to whether or not they'll be kept. sounds harsh, but if you the only employee or only anything within miles you have a unsaid power.... if I'm wrong ... I'm wrong, but then remember this is only my opinion

fire,
lots are passed up because of it... haven't you noticed?

I've said it before;
alot of folks say what they want, but never go about attaining it... I think most don't really know what they want, truely.

If you watch and read, you will see a pattern here... take notice of behaviors =o)

plain as day, it is...roll eyes

You just get to tired being alone and at the same time you havent had anyone in your heart and all of the sudden kiss you find someone and they are just as alone as you are. how carefree can you be to yourself to let this person fill the emptyness? and what if your ascared to not be alone any more? why does hurting yourself just to feel safe seem like a good idea?doh

I hope I'm going to find out what and who I want.

But that means patience and meeting many people.



Hence, opening every door is important...

If someone always tends to choose ones that will break your heart than either they are not a good judge of character or maybe they enjoy being a martyr.

Stop betting the rest of your life on the next relationship.
Try going into it all grown up. Looking to find a friend that may
last a life time.
If the grass on the other side always looks greener, will you ever
stop jumping over fences?

Because they're different then the one before, and you convince yourself that it would make a difference in your life. The only problem is that it's the wrong kind of difference! My ex wife was the daughter of 2 Methodist Ministers, and Two teachers. I thought well, I'd have to live more conservatively, I just didn't know how much! I've always been liberal, and it was like living death sometimes, in more ways then you can imaine. Ouch, I learn the hard way!professor
