Do you think that most people just "settle" for who's available?

Question

Or do most men and women find true love?

Answer 1

Yes...

I didn't. I found the perfect woman for me, and she thinks I'm perfect for her too.

But I think a lot of people do "settle" for someone who's great, but not perfect for them.

I truly believe you can make any relationship work if you try, but once you find one that works effortlessly, you wonder whether it happens very often.

Answer 2

I honestly think many people out there settle for whos available. I know people who are doing that at this time. Some will settle with the person they are with now even if they aren't in love with them. They are "used to that person". They already have a history with them. They are comfortable and some are scared to lose what they have to go looking for something more.
So many have the fear of being alone that they will just stay with their partner. They are good friends, they can live together and be together so why not? There are those out there that will not rest until they find what they are looking for though. I found mine. I thought I had to settle for my ex's at the time. But I realized this was not what I wanted. I wanted more and I found it. I am happily married to the one man that I am in love with and I didn't have to settle for someone else!

Answer 3

Well, that is a loaded question. I have settled and I have met the man of my dreams. My first hubby I settled for because I really didn't think i could do any better and didn't want to live the rest of my life alone. I figured, I like him, we are friends, why not marry and have children...NOT! Don't do that...we divorced 9 years later! We are friends today (7 years later) but it was not a nice split. The man of my dreams happened when i least expected it. ( www.dreammates.com) We met on line, took our time and here I am married to my current hubby for 6 years and it just keeps getting better! I wish you all the best in your search for your true love!

Answer 4

It is a split between the two, but I believe more settle. I've seen it happen to alot of people around me, and it almost happened to me. I totally believe there is a special someone out there for all of us, and you shouldn't settle til u find it. I'd rather be alone, and do things for myself, than get stuck in a relationship because I'm afraid to end up alone. If you think like that, you will be alone.

Answer 5

I believe you settle if you chose to do that. I think that many people find true love but sometimes they let it go. I think those that settle know they do because they always remember their true love.

Answer 6

definition of true love changes over time since people change too.
your true love today may not be your true love tomorrow because both of you change
promises do not mean anything since you cannot enforce them
i think majority of people settle because they think they find true although not the perfect love, if there is anything called as perfect love. i think perfect love has some mental obsession attached to it.

Answer 7

The people that do settle learn very quickly that they shouldn't have. All those who have found true love are very lucky.

Answer 8

I think they settle when they are younger. As self esteem and self confidence builds with age (and experiences) people realize that it's worth it to wait for true love.

Answer 9

I think we too often settle. We're afraid that we cannot find our soul mate, so we take the first decent offer to come along. And ultimately regret it later. Which explains the unprecedented divorce rate.

Answer 10

I would hate to settle. I'm realizing I'd rather be alone.
