I've felt like my wife settled for me a time or 2, but then she does something seriously cool or nice for me that makes me realize she didn't😀

<------settled for first wife & a quite a few of the 40+ women I've known, always a big mistake.

Yep....probably in the nursing home in a few decades. WOO HOO!

*jumps up and down, waving her arms*

I WORK in a nursing home, does that count? Pick me!!

😉

And yes, it has happened to me, and its a very bad feeling. But, you live and learn, and it will never happen again. 🙂
 
Usually that how a lot of my relationships started, I'd settle for some cute girl... but usually I end up liking them alot after spending time with them. Thats how I met my wife. The thing I realized is as long as the person was interesting to be with and I liked them as a person, and of course hopefully they were decent looking, that I could make a lasting relationship with them. The few times when I have not settled and gone for the cute girl I've always liked, I've ended up getting to know them and not liking them. I dont know I guess it depends on your definition of settling, to me usually it means I'm settling for a girl that isnt as hot as I would like. I dont think I could settle for a hot girl who isn't someone I could talk to.

Two words: 10 inches.
Folks, welcome to Skoorb-math, where...

5" IN + 5" OUT = 10"

BTW: Of course, since he's Canadian, it's only worth 6.76"

an interesting topic, geekbabe....

i think, alot of time, people don't really know that they are settling. They probably get swept up in the moment of being loved. that's the most dangerous thing though, cause you say things you don't understand.

i am usually the opposite. i'm constantly afraid of settling, so I push people away based on some conception of what will "work". In some sense, this is probably really good for me, but I suppose it can be (pardon the pun) unsettling for a guy who dates me.

maybe you are just suppose to know, though....

So how do you know when you'll find somebody who isn't going to settle if you're always pushing people away?
I meant that I'm afraid that I'm settling. That sounds kind of bad, but generally I mean that I am constantly balancing all the requirements (right religious background, someone my parents will like, caring...etc.), and trying to figure out if I am suppose to give one of those up when I meet a guy I like.
sounds like theres a lot of requirements there

PRINCESS TALLGEESE 2 IS HERE!

It usually does too.

Oh, you know what/ you've been such a good friend to so many people here. I think that the special one for you just hasn't come along yet,if they didn't want you,it was their loss in a big way!
