Do you feel like you EVER dated the best person you could possibly date?

[MikeTheBartender]

Sure, in the beginning we all feel like we are the luckiest person, but after a few months? So how about in your whole life? Have you ever dated to your max potential?

Yes

Not yet

[kitsachie]

Definitely not yet for me but I feel like my options are running thinner and thinner. All the good women my age are already married or taken and are starting families. I wasted my time with low quality women so now it feels like every single woman I talk to is a complete basket case because that's all that's left.

I know I deserve better and can do better but I've also come to terms with I am fine being single.

[SotiCoto]

The best one got away.

Since then I've just not really cared to bother any more. I had my best chance and I failed.

[Anemone978]

No definitely not but I also don't really want to look for it anymore, I give up on guys completely..

[sage2021]

No, because he cheated on me and out new baby son. The other one died, but he wasn't good for me.

[MikeTheBartender]

Still hurts after that many years? Or is your age off here?

[sage2021]

@MikeTheBartender
No, my age is not off here. When you have a child from a man, are married to him, and have his child, you are forever bonded to that relationship because of the children. So, it doesn't matter how long ago it was, it happened, it happened to me, and him cheating in me so very long ago changed the entire course of the rest of my life. Yes, I know it is my life, but as you know, most guys don't want a girl with a child. They want the sex, but not a relationship and see, there's the rub. That's how my life kept changing course.
The other one died suddenly on September 8 - just a few months ago. So, you can't expect me to be over that this soon.
I am new at this grieving someone I was so close to. One day I miss him and want to see him come through the door with his smile and see me in my chair, waiting for him to come home and he'd say"There she is. There's my girl". And he'd kiss me hello. Other days he would hurt me so deep, I wasn't sure if I hated him, because I don't know how to hate. But he came close to it.
RIP Patrick

Several of them.

Thing about people is there are so many different combinations, values, looks, and benefits from one person to the next. I've been very blessed to find lots of amazing women in my life. I've often said I could have made a life with many of them, were that the sort of life I was seeking.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

My husband is a dream come true for me.

[MikeTheBartender]

How long have you been married?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Only 4 years married.

However, we've been dating on-and-off-and-on for 3 decades.

[MikeTheBartender]

What's the secret to longevity?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

1. We trust each other.
2. We have very similar interests.
3. We can finish each other's sentences.
4. Our attraction for each other is immense.
5. We no longer see ourselves loving anyone else.
6. We share everything we can possibly share that's important.

Amén ❤️

[ZackBan]

Yes and no.

Meaning I could pick out the woman with whom I had a connection like no other.

But I don't think I've reached the ceiling of what an amazing relationship can be.

Who knows, maybe one day

[82lynx]

No, but I’ve never dated. Besides, I would have to ask out the women which would leave them holding all the cards. Considering all the crap they’ve put me through already, I don’t think so. If they don’t put in any effort, neither will I.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I can't find that caliber of woman anywhere, except in other countries.

[LiamJHayden]

Each woman is unique so possibly in one or more ways, but in every way? No.

[NathanDavis]

yes... but no, hmm...

[MikeTheBartender]

I have been happy in relationships, but never completely happy. Kind of wondering how the rest of the world works.

[NathanDavis]

I've been extremely happy in every relationship... and I've felt like they were, at that given time, the best I could ever be with for such times...

and so we have the future, and the next... so...

[Nikki1989]

Yes. That is why I married him.

[serious]

Never dated in my life.

[sheikalana]

Yes, I'm married to him.

[HaleyCatgirl]

My boyfriend

[HaleyCatgirl]

I forgot to add the rest I got a notification on discord. My boyfriend because me and him known each other since we were five we only started dating recently but I love him to death and I'm very proud to be his girlfriend I'm dating my best friend and it's amazing
