What Would You Do...for 12 years???
| Tue, 10-31-2006 - 2:32pm |
So I'm stealing this topic from another relationship board.
If you visited a psychic (pretend you believe in such things, ok?) and she told you that the love of your life, The One you are destined to be with, the one who is your ideal partner and soulmate will indeed come into your life....in exactly 12 years. And no one you will come across beforehand and date with work out until you meet that One true love, what would you do?
Would you continue dating, just for the fun of it knowing that it would be short-term and eventually end?
Or would you hold out and not waste anyone's time, since no one else will compare and wait for your true love to come into your life.
It's 12 years, what will you do with that time, dating-wise?

well if someone told me that in 10 years i'd meet the love of my life, i'd be fine with that, I'd be HAPPY to know it was going to happen. But this would have to be 100% guarantee, absolutely going to happen to type deal-and unfortunately no one knows this. I know the point of your post is, what if...? but i guess i dont believe in psychics...IF i did and IF that's how things were going to happen, I imagine i'd go on with my regular life...i'd probably still date here and there, but it might be difficult knowing they werent the one i'd end up with.
I have thought about this and again, i'd love to know when or if i'm going to meet the one...but that's life...i will never know this until that day does or doenst come.
"...are you trying to tell us to have faith?"
Not at all. I think what the post gets at it how many people are willing to just date, for the fun of it, knowing it will ultimately go nowhere. So many people claim to not date if there is no real future, yet if you knew what the future would hold, would they then then do things differently. That's my guess. Thought it was interesting.
I know I'd keep doing the same thing; date for the fun of it. But I'm big on experiences. I'd rather have many and enjoy them, then not at all.
Ugh! I hate dating...lol. This would be like a dream come true for me because I wouldn't be wondering, "will I meet the love of my life?". Instead I would just keep moving forward, improving on my career and having a blast with friends. I guess I might be more likely to 'live it up' and truly savor singledom. Although I enjoy being single now, I do have fleeting worries about IF I'll ever meet 'him'.
I wish I was the type to love dating, who could go out with 4 new people a month and think nothing of it. Dating is torture to me and I don't find it fun. Of course if it's a guy I'm interested in and like, then it's intriguing and a good stressful.
