This is a very Good Question. It is Deep. How Honest will people be
Im not in a relationship right now. And even tho i Think I want to be but I have done nothing about it. And this is unlike me. I love being in a Relationship. I love commitment. I love trust. I Love
. Respect and loyalty. I Love , Love. I Love giving, and sharing. I love Friendship
I love bonding and becoming one.. i look at everythingas if there is a deeper meaning. Its like your question. The word relationship. There are so many different types of Relationships. Since day 1 people have come and gone in our lives.
Twenty something years ago i was laying in late one night i was going through a break up and i asked a question to myself i want to say i heard a voice say.
Time is Time
That Has
No Time.
To me that is just so deep because it can mean so many things.
God gave man Dog to teach us unconditional love.
And it worked. If it wouldn't have. We we see beautiful woman wearing beautiful clothes and beautiful cars running the world we would still be out in a caveman outfit with long hair and a club still grunting still still trying to pick up on women pounding our club on the ground Bam Bam we want sex you see the guy playing in the corner watching his dick go up and down and laughing about it. He would go up he would laugh it would go down he would laugh amazed what he just learned . For me I have to say relationships AR not a waste of time
I believe it was to teach us the meaning of love. Of commitment to each other. to the world. And we don't have a choice of that we want that to be. This is probably the best and the deepest question I've ever answered here because as a human race I don't think we're even close I'm getting there yet because all we're doing is destroyed ourselves
I can say this.
We have an obligation to our younger people to our kids to figure this out we're supposed to leave this world a better place for our kids we're not doing that and we need to change. Because the path we are heading down is that going to work I don't want my kids or anybody else's kids to go through but you're going to have to go through and it is all because of love and choice
I'm curious to see the answers to this question because that will tell me where we're headed and how fast we're going to get there
If so, then they sure are one of the best ways to waste time. What's the alternative?
I think some people get hung up on the idea that they need to find the perfect relationship right out of the gate. They have visions of the perfect, love at first sight, Disney romance where the couple lives happily ever after. Unfortunately, that rarely happens with one's first romance.
We all have hopes and dreams, but we will never achieve them unless we try. Avoiding the pain of a failed relationship will also eliminate the possibility of great happiness. It also prevents us from learning and growing.
Is it better to experience the exhilaration of peak moments or to hold back out of fear? I say, live life to the fullest.
From Kathryn Sandford, Career Resilience Coach:
No one can live a positive life without experiencing pain or failure. Those things are inevitable, no matter what.
Today’s society is obsessed with success and achievement. Failure is definitely NOT part of the equation. However, if you avoid making mistakes in life, struggle to do everything right, and are obsessed with perfection and order, then living and experiencing a successful and happy life is going to be impossible.
Embrace your failure, whether it is one failure or many failures, because with the right attitude and a willingness to learn from your mistakes, you are guaranteed a lifetime of success.
"No great success was ever achieved without failure."
"Failure is a necessary stepping stone to achieving our dreams."
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."
“Giving up is the only sure way to fail.”
“If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail… it takes back bone to lead the life you want.”
I've experienced the ecstasy of infatuation many times. Even if the relationship wasn't destined to be for a lifetime, it was worth it. I've experienced heartbreak. It hurts as much as the death of a loved one. But such experiences make us human. They are part of life. And we carry the memories of the joyful and ecstatic moments with us for the rest of our lives.
I had several girlfriends in my life. I broke some hearts and I've had mine broken. I've had great highs and lows, not just in relationships. But I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. They made me who I am.
Relationships aren't a waste of time because I can attest that dreams can come true. I married a woman 25 years ago and couldn't be happier. No one could have a better best friend. We are partners for life. We trust each other completely.
So if you want a relationship, go out and take a chance on getting your heart broken. Do it over and over, if necessary, until you find the person who fulfills your hopes and dreams. Just know that nobody is perfect and it takes mutual work to maintain a happy, healthy relationship. It takes commitment from both parties. But I know many, many couples who have remained deeply in love all their lives.
They're a waste of time when you and this person can't see a future with each other. If one of you isn't putting in the effort to make it work, or one of you is constantly undecided and confused about where they want the relationship to go, then it's a waste. A relationship is about an equal partnership between two individuals. You have to put in the effort. You have to promise to love and cherish each other. This probably sounds dumb as heck, but umm, that's my opinionn. <3
No and yes. Some people need a partner and are willing to sacrifice a part of themselves for prosperous relationship. Others don't need anyone and consider everything beyond casual dating as a burden. This depends on individual needs and psychological profile.

This is a hard one. Because relationships are heavily involved in reproduction/the continuation of the species. So, even though I don't like the idea of being in one, I think it's why I don't like to say that "it's a waste of time." Because that would entail that I understand the reasoning behind our existence. Or on a more subjective level, that I understand everyone's goals. But I don't. And I don't believe I ever will for either of the two.
But, waste of time or not, I do feel comfortable saying that most relationships aren't guareunteed to make people happy in life. In fact, since most relationships end in divource or split, they tend to make people more stressed out! Especially if they have kids. So depending on their individual goals, it could vary. But ofc if their goal is to continue our species, then I don't see how it would be a waste of time.
Nope not a waste of time if it's spent loving each other
Yes as that certainly is a sign of one who can be trusted. And if she asked to get a Contact out of my phone then have at it... Why wouldn't you unless there's something to hide. What do you think it's going to be like when living together, engaged, and/or married. Without volunteering it, one is basically saying: "I value technology over you", my freedom is greater than establishing your trust in my judgment and integrity etc...
Do you really think a guy, who is not going to offer her access without hints, is going to run household financials or ever have a joint operating account... Really now !!!
Interpersonal relationships are very valuable regardless your talking friendship or lovers… the thing is on my end women overall want them but don’t deserve them in the case of marriage. In the case of friends wouldn’t know I don’t have many… work all the time and when I dont I’m with family. Got a couple friends I hang with rarely.
No I think that every relationship , no matter if good or bad, is an experience and teaches you at least something. And especially the not so great ones, do play a part in your personal development and growth
Not necessarily , yes you might have some bad seeds along the way but also look at it as a learning experience to meet your soul mate , or you might get lucky and meet your soul mate right off the bat , so I don’t think they are a waste of time, There is someone for everyone just sometimes it takes longer for others to find the right one
Yes, at times I do admit, I have given up it's been 17 years
since I have been in a relationship and it seems that I have a
dark cloud over me that just doesn't allow me to find true love
and yes I do want a commitment, sex is not all it should be
it should be true love
I think you nailed it. If you don't know what you want or have a clear goal in mind then you are just winging it and wasting time. Granted, you can learn some valuable experiences but more often than not they don't end well for either party.
It's like starting a business with no business plan. Yea, you might have an IDEA of what you want to achieve here. But if you don't have the details set in stone then what the fuck are you doing bro?
I know mine will be the most unpopular opinion like it always is, but that is why, only relationship that is "relationship" in my books is Marriage. Only when you believe in that institution and when you try to make it work through thick and thin, you understand and honor the value of that relationship. And it does not stop there between just 2 people.
It depends on who's point of view you are looking from. If the guy likes her, enjoys the sex, but later discovers that they are just incompatible after 6 month's. That isn't a waste of time. I guess it really depends on what the intentions are for each guy and girl in a relationship. If you both have the same intentions then its not a waste.
I think their a waste of time I've never been in one by personal choice because I don't want anyone to deal with me or vice versa. I can't really Imagine myself in a relationship. I'm happy for others who have healthy relationships and I wish them the best but unfortunately I've only seen toxic and fake examples of relationships growing up.
No it's just comparability , attitudes, expectations and lust can get in the way. Many people want one but don't work hard to maintain it or really just don't care anyway. Some people go into them expecting way too much. Plus kids are a life changing event some people aren't up to and some run away from it.
Relationships are only a waste of time if you want something out of them that the other person doesn't, or is unable to accommodate.
Otherwise, they'rrrrrre great.. <<< Did my Tony The Tiger Impression..
only if ya date people who're fuckable only and personally i think expectations are point less because ya can't control anyone or their desire to meet your needs and please ya how they naturally treat ya will expose that so i think in that vein if ya ever need a course correction then ya should immediately take it
Sometimes we are not in the best place in life for romantic relationships. Other relationships, family, friendships, etc are vital to a joyful life. At least for me.
The relationships that are a waste of time aren't really proper relationships. There is something wonderful about a true, trusting committed relationship where the love between two people makes them almost seem like one
I think most are. But I also think most people are just killing time with the person they're with till something better comes along.
And if you're not all-in in a relationship what's the point of being in one? I think most people just don't want to be alone.
u no, simply put... genuine happiness has never been a waste of my time
If you are dating to brake up then relationships are a waste of time. If you are dating for a serious relationship then they are worth it , as long as you make your intention clear in the beginning.
I understand and agree with what you are saying. So it's one of those things where it's more like "Are relationships with 'certain people' a waste of time?"
