Is settling for best ever an option?

Tagged as: Dating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (27 December 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 27 December 2009)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Is settling for second best ever an option? I am crazy about this one guy who understands me right to the core. He's like gasoline to an open flame, so much passion and fire. Trouble is he's got so much going on that a relationship is out of the question right now but I know I can't wait forever for Mr.Unavailable. So my childhood sweetheart looks me up, he's waited years to date me and I finally say yes. I like him and I know it could lead somewhere good but part of me feels like I'm torn for settling for Mr.Second Best. Should I keep giving Mr.Second Best his chance to shine or should I hold out for unpredictable Mr.Unavailable? Xoxo

Turn the question around. How would you feel if you found out that you are the second choice for Mr. Second Best?

Don't settle for second best. You will regret it for the rest of your life. Keep looking, you'll find him!

It's a tough question. The truth is though, you don't want second best do you? And there's the problem. Until you find someone who can beat that guy you think is the One, you will never be truly happy with someone. My advice is to just keep meeting people until you find a guy who takes your breath away more than either of the two guys in your life now.
