Please don't say three.
Contrary to popular belief, life is NOT a baseball game.
For me, it depends on the person and my relation to them.
However, i lose trust quite easy.
So after one strike, you're out to a great extent.

That's really so personal Nick (can i call you Nick?)
I was wondering if you lose trust quite easily because a person lied to you or perhaps they cheated? Now, the cheating is good reason to call it quits after strike one in my book.
I never got a second chance with someone I really cared deeply about.........and yes I did cheat and I told him so.......I couldn't lie to him..........there is more to the story though. But I understood where he was coming from.
Yes, life is definitely not a baseball game.....every situation is so different....when it comes to cheating that to me is inexcusable.....I've been on both sides of this though.
So if a strike is just something that pissed you off...hang in there and give them another chance...........I find it easy to forgive and also don't take a good fight too badly either.......always something to be learned as long as it's not a pattern.

Strike one, you're out! Only on the rare occasion and if I truly cared for the person and depending upon the circumstances and how long I've known the person, how much I value them, they might get another chance.

Like you, for me, it depends on the person. I'm more lenient however, and far more trusting. (Unfortunately I might add) Most people get more strikes than I can count on all fingers and toes. If it's a really bad strike...one that was aimed, and painful, they're out with the first one.

Im going to have to say that I agree with you. One strike and your out. Me, being my trusting self, ends up putting everything into a relationship, be it friends, family, ect.. I have been disapointed so many times in my life. Even my own family members have screwed me over, and I just won't stand for it. Either you treat me with the same respect as I treat you, or your history. People who have been extremely rude and treated me like dirt have been cut from life, maybe Im being to harsh, but it's just a way of protecting myself from being hurt by them a second time.

It definitely depends on the relationship and also what it is the person did for me to lose faith in them. I do hold a grudge forever though so I guess I don't count strikes but how strong of a grudge I have against someone in order to strike them out of my life.

I would agree with you. Depending on the first strike, they might be out. For instance, cheating is not acceptable, there are no second chances. But maybe more minimal things I'd let go till 2 strikes.

I agree. It depends on the person and the relationship. With each strike, I adjust my boundries with that person. If they are new in my life and they start striking out early....see ya. If they are someone important, I never completely give up on them, I just exercise better judgement when dealing with them.

It depends if I know the person 1st off. I would give someone I know well more chances then others. But I don't play games. I hate games. A cheater twice. If they do it the 2nd time they are out the door.

If it's not someone I know well I can always forgive im a big person by mind it's not hard but i dont forget and won't be taken advantage of repeatedly and if it's someone i dont know well enough i think they may have 2 chances =/

I agree. Once I lose faith in someone it rarely is restored. Putting your trust in someone, whoever it might be is a risk. And if someone disregards your feelings then they are not worth having around. Listen to your gut feelings and go with them. Most times they are telling you the truth.
