Is it better to be alone Or settle for someone that is not Your type.
Posted: 1/3/2008 9:43:40 PM
I am fussy not frustrated ,so i would rather be alone ,than alone in love so to speak ,will never" just settle" out of fear that i might end up alone ..I have a close friend who felt time was running out for her ,so begun a relationship ,married had children ,all to someone who was not compatable with her and is miserable in a loveless marriage .


But there is a saying that love does not happen in a minute ,it takes time to build true love through patience ,understanding .But the thing is are you prepared to wait for it to happen whilst in settling mode ?

Alone. Especially if you've learned to cultivate your own interests.
I'd be quite offended if I were to learn someone considered my time, energy, and interest as some sort of consolation prize!

Oh My God no brainer. I continue to wonder why the divorce rate is so high? Why would you settle on a bad person rather than being alone. How degrading! learn how to support yourself and be happy with your self!

Much better to be alone, can you imagine meeting the right one when your with someone? would sort of complicate things? as soon as you really know someone is not for you I would leave, and sometimes no matter how cordially you try to end it ..you will be made into an enemy, happens to me all the time, but in actuality, that only shows me just how correct I am in the decision, not how wrong.

I think loneliness is the issue here and as I see it, it's a pretty powerful fuel. It can make or break a decision involving the heart. I think your question as to whether it's better to "be alone Or settle for someone that is not Your type" has to do with loneliness, what you seek, and whether what you seek is attainable in your time. If you can not see what you want in that which is facing you, yet can not open up in an attempt to hold his or her hand in acceptance then... you should do both of you a big favor and stay away.

I would rather be alone than being with someone who was not compatible. Type could be defined as physical or mental/emotional. If the mental/emotional connection was there, there is no problem. If it's just the physical connection that was there and nothing in the personality that clicked, alone would be better.

That being said, I wouldn't want to be the one someone settled for either.

Never settle for less then what you deserve, so many people settle for less and live unhappy , it really doesnt make any sence at all. Id rather be alone and happy then with someone an unhappy

It is always better to be alone.

The reasons:
1. you will end up hurting the one you are "settleing" (sp) for because even though in
the beginning they may be very happy that they got you; they will end up figuring
it out.
2. you will always end up hurting yourself because you will know deep in your heart;
or maybe not even that deep, that you could have found the love of your life out
there somewhere.

I have been there I know. I had two very wonderful men love me very deeply,
neither of whom I was married to. I tried very hard to love them because I knew that
they cared deeply. I knew they would try to give me the world, if they could.
I just could not do it, I couldn't lie to them and then make their
lives miserable as I knew it would turn into that.
So I stayed alone and lonely untill I could find someone that I could care deeply about.

If by settle you mean "spend the rest of my days with" then Im gunna go with option A thanks. I'd rather be a bachelor and live till 120 than spend the rest of my days with someone I "settled" for. I feel nauseated just thinking about it.

If you are with the wrong person then you will feel alone. Most people settle because of financial reasons and that is wrong. Your both gonna be unhappy. If you have true friends that want to hang out with you and you with them, then you will not be alone.

T.N.T. said ~ "If you are with the wrong person then you will feel alone. "

That's the best post in this thread and I 100% concur!

Why waste time with someone that's BAD for you? You'll only lose out emotionally, financially, mentally etc etc. At least if you're single you're free and independent and can spend quality time looking for something much better, whilst having some fun too as you're completely uncommitted to someone else

I'd rather be alone and relatively happy than be in a bad relationship any day! Bad relationships suck big-time.

I've decided to stick to my guns. Perfection or bust! As a result I've not had a date or been in a relationship for a while. I've come to cherish my own company, the peace and quiet, the tranquility and why get into a relationship with someone who you don't truly like. You will only be miserable and inevitably you will both get hurt in the end.
