If no chance with the one you love, would you allow yourself instead the possibility of happiness in a relationship with someone who loves you very much, but you didn't necessarily feel the same?
You like them quite a bit, it's just not all consuming love.

I would marry for money.

Until very recently, I would have said "NO" - there is NO WAY I would ever settle again for anything less than being totally, head-over-heels in love!
But the whole idea of having someone who is just crazy about ME, and would do anything for ME - for a CHANGE - is starting to sound better and better all the time! I'm TIRED of always having to be the one to put out all the effort, and I'm not getting any younger, either.
So yeah, these days I would probably be far more receptive to the idea of giving a man I might not be all that attracted to a chance to "win me over". Unless, of course, I was REALLY turned-off by him, in which case, I guess I'd be better off growing old & dying ALONE!!!

Every one deserves to find happiness.If you settle in a relationship without being honest about your feelings for another person and your significant other finds out you done this your going to shred their trust and respect, and possibly shatter any faith they have in you if they didn't have a clear understanding of your relationship from the start.Or the could make you miserable for deceiving them.
Caring about someone is much different than loving someone.Don't get me wrong love has many sides.Try to find someone whom you can truly give yourself to heart,body & soul.And stop focusing on the one that didn't work out.It is up to you to find a real and meaningful relationship.

If I couldn't end up with the person I loved then I would want to end up with someone who treats me the way I deserve to be treated. Love is not always something that comes right away, sometimes it comes after year of being together.
You might not love them the same way but you might love them better or better in a different way.
In the end you should just be happy, you should make sure you put yourself first.

r Never trade your happiness .If the possibility of hooking up with the one you love is not there ,Seek you shall find .It is the most terrible thing to get married today to someone you do not love . It is always good to love the person 40 to 60.Then you are not a slave to love.Do not destroy Your happiness .We have one life to live.Take the best out of it.

I don't believe I would do that again. After 4 years of being married to someone who really loved me and I just truly cared about them alot, the unhappiness of not being deeply in love eventually lead to divorce.

If you knew for sure. Hopefully you would grow to love the other person. Happiness is better than loneliness.
