Would you do it?

Date that person. Enjoy the experience while it last. All good things come to an end.

 

I'm confused

 

If I knew it was only going to be a few dates I would enjoy it. If my heart was going to be broken then no.

 

OR you can sit back, don't date them, and still get your heart broken from all the possible "what if" regrets eating away at you.

What if:
-Afterwards something happens (accident, disability, disease, near-death experience, actual death, etc.) and you think, "dammit! That was my last chance to go dating, and I blew it..."

-The overseas job placement/international tour/whatever gets cancelled/visa extended etc., AND they get together with someone else... Ouch!

Wow, I'm almost motivating myself enough to get out of my own warrior armchair...

 

@wasgij
That's a really good point. I'd rather do something I will regret later on then sit around thinking "what if".

@Lifesbegun
Go for it. It's a full on trip. It'd be a waste to let it go. But don't dive in thinking this is going to be your happily ever after ending. Take what you can and keep the good memories.

 

I mean, get the fun while you can. I wouldn't mind. At least I would have something instead of being lonely all the time

 

I'll be the minority here when I say It's not worth it, but then again I'm not all that interested in relationships anyway and wouldn't want to waste my time. Especially with how many people are out there.

 

i wouldnt do it if it was this.
if you mean seeing each other every day, sounds very suffocating to me. in a very new relationship. i like space and need it. as should the other person. unless of course you live with person and have been living with them for some time and its a relationship that has developed.

but in general yeah i would go for it, enjoy something. you might never know what happens after.

 

I had a similar thing happen with me except it was only a month. I was so worked up about the timeline and how we'd be over after the month, that I forgot to actually enjoy the month. I can't tell if it was worth it or not since I was really only half there for it all.

My personal opinion is go for it. Enjoy the two months. Because if you worry too much about what happens next, you'll never know what's happening now.

 

Nah, in my opinion there's not much point if it doesn't have the potential to last.

 

No I long for a loving long term commitment but of course I am realistic and know not everything works out the way you want it but I would never date someone with the attitude that it won't last.

 

I think I would, yeah. I mean, if you don't go for it then you have to wonder what it would be like if you did, no?

I've experienced this over the holidays in Hong Kong. Met an AMAZING guy that was from the UK that was not only cute but just... Wow. But since he lives in Hong Kong I knew it wouldn't last, so even as I began to see him I came with the mindset that I was going to enjoy every moment with him.

But had I not met up with him, then it would have just been another guy that walked down the street.

 

considering 2 months is about the average some of my relationships have lasted and I'm still alive even though they fell apart, sure, why not. I obsess more over the ones I didn't ask out than the ones I did... sadly not by much, lol.

 

Probably not, simply because I'm the type of person that, if I know how long I have, I exhaust myself tryna "make the most" out of every moment. It would be too overwhelming & emotionally draining for me.

 

In my experience, I tend to regret the things I DIDN'T do, rather than the things I DID do.

Good luck!
