I know that some people say they "don't want a relationship" or "don't want anything serious at this point in their lives" etc. But do you think with most people, that if they found someone they liked enough, they would commit to them?
I knew a guy who always was a player. Swore against relationships, said he'd feel trapped if he got into one and valued his freedom/autonomy way too much. He said he'd get into a relationship when he turned 30 but not now. But he then met this girl who was the female version of him, and he suddenly asked her to be his girlfriend and they're still together. He said he just knew she was 'the one.'
My friend was also like this. She didn't want a relationship due to trauma and trust issues, said she wouldn't be ready to date seriously for at least a few years. But then she met this guy who she fell in love with, changed her mind and now she's the relationship type.
Do you think people who say they don't want relationships really mean that they don't want relationships until the right one comes along?

It is possible that some people who say they are not ready for a relationship may change their minds if they meet the right person. However, it's important to note that everyone is different and has their own reasons for not wanting a relationship at a particular time in their life. Some people may genuinely not be interested in a relationship, while others may be hesitant due to past experiences or personal priorities.
It's also worth noting that just because someone changes their mind and decides to enter into a relationship with someone they like, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are ready for a serious, long-term commitment. It's important for both partners to communicate their expectations and intentions clearly and honestly, and to make sure they are on the same page before moving forward.
Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide what they want in terms of relationships and when they feel ready to pursue them. While meeting the right person can certainly change someone's perspective, it's important to respect someone's boundaries and decisions about their own life.
It's possible for them to try. But there are a lot of people who are objectively not ready for a relationship, and then attempting to be in a relationship only ends in disaster.
Just because they decide to get into a relationship, it doesn’t mean they’re ready for one. It’s good to be self-aware enough to say you aren’t ready for one; “know thyself”. These people you mentioned may have given into their infatuations but it doesn’t mean they have improved their emotional maturity enough to be in a, long-term, healthy relationship. They might go through hardships because of their impulsivity; most people don’t stay with their first parnter for this reason
