Do you believe that there is someone out there who had been set apart by God for you whom you will find and meet no matter how you try to avoid...
Or do you believe that it's all about choosing whom to be with...

I believe in Destiny yes!! Choice, you have to believe in that. Its something thats an everyday thing. If YOU choose to wait on your Destiny thats great. But ya know most people just choose and settle because they don't believe in the whole Destiny thing. God does have plans for all of us. If you marry 2 times to try to find your destiny, God meant for you to do that. Last 2 marriages makes you stronger and more wiser for when your Destiny does come along, you've made mistakes, learned by them, your more prepared for whatever is heading your way. I'm hoping I"m makin a lil sense here. Probably not, Cuz I'm not to good with words. Can explain stuff better off paper.... Haha

It's all choice. Why do you think there are so many unsuccessful relationships? If it were a destiny to love the people they were with there wouldn't be so much heartache. Also, if there was such a thing as destiny there would be no need to look both ways before crossing the street or wearing a seatbelt, or avoiding the contaminated spinich etc...
If there was such a thing as destiny then you wouldn't die for lack of doing some of these things would you? Choices are what we make of it , including God's viewpoint and obeying his laws and or commandments is also a choice.

good question : DESTINY.
Choice could end up artificial/fake at times, because you can try all kinds of ways to "try" to build rapport with that person you trying to pursuit. Based on "choice", i assume one will fall back on the worldly standard in choosing the potential target (beautiful woman :: a rich powerful men). But there are always other more beautiful or richer that appears around them so the fragile foundation is constantly tested so it doesn't last.
In destiny, it's natural, you have something to believe it's "REAL". even under constant temptation, you have an anchor to believe that fate meant the two to be together, so it lasts.
Love is sacred, it's not a business deal.
It's destiny, it's not a choice.

i used to believe that it's destiny. Then i kept waiting for many yrs but love always eludes me until i make the choice to control my love life and take matters into my own hands. then i met my future hubby. however, it could be destiny that leads me to make my choice to make the first move. So i guess it's destiny!

It's a choice that ultimately ends in destiny. How do you explain when there are people who have more than one serious or commited relationship (i.e. more than one love)? Men and women alike have choices. If they are destined to have more than one love, they cannot avoid it.

I think it's both. There is a guy I like right now, and he lived in a different country before this; if he did not come to the US, I might not have met him, and that would be awful. Does that mean I'm supposed to be with him? Possibly. Or perhaps I am just supposed to learn from him. I think all the people we meet are supposed to be in our lives for a certain reason.

destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice. it's not a thing to be waited but a thing to be done..but... there's always an exception to the rule.. sometimes, u can't avoid ur destiny.. everything is meant to be... no matter what u do, if it's GOD's will, it will happen..

Choice and chance.
Fate and destiny are for spiritual deprived individuals who are seeking some assurance their life on this earth has meaning (it does by the way).

dont believe the advice above. pure sissy. when it comes to love, just accept it. have fun with it, why think about destiny and choices. We only live once, and see things in present day. Its hard to predict the future, the future is an unsured thing for us, and especially love. so enjoy the time now with your loved one.

Choice. You choose to love. You don't choose whether you like a person. That is almost animal.
