would you ever

[Willing and Unsure]

wait for someone that you're in love with even though you know you can never have them?

 

[R Nitelight]

There's no such thing as never.

 

[Simply Me]

If I absolutely, 100% knew I could NEVER be with them, then no. Lifes too short. I would miss them in my life and regret that fate was against us, but I would move on and see what fate did have in store for me.

Yeppers what she said..

 

[BubbaRednek]

No. You only get one life, why waste it wanting something you can't have? Move on, find someone that wants to share that life with you. You have so much to offer, there are plenty of people out there searching for someone just like you.

 

[beckbabe]

This made me think of "Like Water For Chocolate"...bad ending, don't wait. Love the one your with

 

[Guest]

Well, I do not believe in having only one life, but I have to agree with Simply Me about not waiting around if I know for 100% I could never have/be with that person.

Waiting For Love

I did just that, I waited for a woman that I fell in love with while I was still at school. I waited for many years and I have to say that them years were the most depressing years of my life. In the end though it all turned out ok I ended up marrying the woman that I fell in love with and I lived happily ever after.

I do wish I hadn't waited though, maybe if I had just lived my life normally and then got back with the woman when she was ready instead of moping around, listening to sad love songs and spending many years alone.

So it is probably best not to wait, if it was ment to be then just live your life and one day it will happen, if it wasn't ment to be then don't waste you time and find someone worthy of your love.

 

[unusuallyconfused]

It would be a miserable existance. You are very sweet and kind. You should have no problem finding a mutually beneficial loving relationship that you can have. You are so young, (I bet you hate that!) but it is true that there is so much out there for you. Don't waste it by letting life let you think that this is it for you.

 

[scylis]

i could understand waiting years for someone you know 100% for sure WILL be with you, but not for someone you know WON'T...

(i can understand the first b/c i'm doing it right now.. since early september last year, and soon to be ending in less than a month)

 

[CW]

Never is a pretty severe word.

Are you sure never is never gonna happen?

Twist the tail of fate a crank or three, jap-slap it a few times for good measure,,, and if never is still the answer, then no, I wouldn't consider it.

Life IS just too short,,, you may not realise just how true that statement is just yet,,, but you will.


So, if never gonna happen is still the answer,,, then make amends with fate and see what else you can wrangle out of him.

IF there is a chance you could then it might be worth it. The thing is whether that one is right for you. You may think they are but you never know if you are right really. Sides you can love em all you want if you can't have em then keep em in a special place and stay close friends. I had to do this. It hurt but it was better then not having them in my life.

 

[Guest]

Something that hits home...

I am on the receiving line of this..... One of my ex's is in love with me... REALLY in love with me....... but...I am not in love with him. I have told him this....... but he says he's going to wait.......because he said that one day I'll come around and we'll be together. I don't think its going to happen. Too much has happened since then.. but what do you tell them???

and yes I tried waiting for someone........ but you realize that time marches on.... and you have to move on. If it is meant to be... then it will find a way to happen.

 

[Morden]

I agree totally with Jaded on that. If it was meant to be then it will happen regardless of everything else.
As far as what to tell them. You tell them no. Its up to them to get used to the idea. The only shame that happens is when they are too stubborn and you have to let em done hard

 

[Darowyn]

My Brother did it.
He waited, and he was right.
Mo was the woman for him, and she did come to him after five years.
They are busy now,
living happily ever after,
in Bahrain.

 

[Mensa]

Give it up girl! It ain't gonna happen, he's the Pope now!

 

[MysteryJKR]

*hugs Willing* I dont think there is a thing as never when it comes to love. Dont ruin your own life and not have fun waiting for that person but never say never.

Ive been dealing with it. I was with my ex for months as friends, then we got together and were for a year, fell in love with each other more and more everyday. it was absolutely perfect, but because of some problems she was having we had to break up. were still as close and we love each other very much, but I seriously have no clue at all, as of when we will be together again. It could be soon. could be years, I dont know. Things always happen, but she is always number 1 to me and if there is an oppertunity ill be there to take it. Ive been waiting along time and the only reason I do wait is cuz I really do love her with all I am. she is worth it.

But im in a place like this. flirting and having fun. I got the bestestestest friends in the world who keep me company and hold me when im down or just for no reason. (Isolde come home!!! hehe) and im waiting. im not messing up my own life by just sitting around, but im waiting. I know things will come back together someday.

Last Will and testement by Jake Thackray.
>>>>

I, the under-mentioned, by this document do declare my true intentions,
My last will, my testament.
when I turn up my toes,
when I rattle my crack, when I agonise, I want no great wet weepings
No tearing of hair, no wringing of hands
No sighs, no lack-a-days
No woe-is-me's and none of your sad adieus.
Go go go and get the priest
And then go get the booze, boys.

Death, where is they victory?
Grave, where is thy sting?
When I snuff it bury me quickly then let carousels begin.
But not a do with a few ham sandwiches
A sausage roll or two
And "a small port wine please".
Roll the carpet right back
Get cracking with your old Gay Gordons and your knees up, shake it up, live
it up, sup it up
Hell of a kind of a time.
And if the coppers come around
Well tell them the party's mine, boys.

Let best beef be eaten, fill every empty glass,
Let no breast be beaten let no tooth be gnashed.
Don't bother with a fancy tombstone or
A big-deal angel or a little copper flower pot
Grow a dog rose in my eyes or a pussy willow
But no forget-me-nots, no epitaphs no keepsakes
You can let my memory slip.
You can say a prayer or two for my soul then
But make it quick, boys.

Lady, if your bosom is heaving don't waste your bosom on me
Let it heave for a man who's breathing
A man who can feel, a man who can see.
And to my cronies you can read my books
You can drive around in my motor car
And you can fish your trout with my fly and tackle

You can play on my guitar,
And sing my songs, wear my shirts
You can even settle my debts.

You can kiss my little missus if she's willing then but - no regrets, boys.

Your rosebuds are numbered
Gather them now for rosebuds'sake.
And if your hands aren't too encumbered
Gather a bud or two for Jake.

No no no..***** is much too short and much too precious to waste waiting around for someone that you can never have.

 

[PL~Shadow Lover]

Hmmmm....

Well like many other people that have posted I don't believe in never, so I would wait for them. Just because I was waiting for them doesn't mean I would miss out on things in life though, I would keep my options open and still date. If I happen to be in a relationship when they change their mind I wouldn't simply end my current one to run into my love's arms (as tempting as it may be), I'd still continue my current one and if my love is still there if it doesn't work then I'd go to her. I mean if you waited so long, she can wait a bit too!

[roosterboy]

I use the daisy method.

she loves me
she loves me but doesn't know it
she love me . . . . .

 

[JenJ]

I don't believe that never exists but I've waited for someone I fell in love with and it ended up working out.

 

[Never]

"There's no such thing as never."

I'll try not to take that personally.
