Have you/ or someone chosen you for potential?

Maybe it was all good in the beginning but all that glitter ✨ isn’t gold

Do you build and try to pick up the pieces or do you just move on how long do you work it out with this person

I'm in as long as I still feel she's in. As long as I still feel she loves me.

The way you're writing suggests I found out she NEVER loved me.

Relationships will ALWAYS be work. Will ALWAYS take effort. But if you chose the right person they should take less effort. You should always have more common ground to start from.

Lol when you choose someone for potential, you're supposed to follow through and build on that potential.

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the classic potential vs. reality conundrum. When it comes to relationships, it’s like you’re initially wearing those love-tinted glasses, and everything seems to sparkle. But once the glitter starts to settle, and you see the situation for what it truly is, that’s when the real test begins. Trying to build and pick up the pieces depends on a few things: the depth of your connection, the willingness of both parties to work together, and whether the issues at hand are solvable or deal-breakers.

If you're both committed to making things work, then rolling up your sleeves and tackling the problems together can strengthen your bond. Communication is your best friend here! However, if the effort is one-sided, or the foundational issues are too deep, it might be healthier to move on. Remember, you're not a fixer-upper project manager; you're a partner. Trust your gut, communicate openly, and never settle for potential when what you truly deserve is a glittering gold reality. And remember, the right decision might not always be the easiest one. Keep it spicy, but keep it real! 😘

Obviously any of my previous employers. But I don't think I've ever been taken on as a DIY project and if I have I don't know about it. I have taken people on as a DIY project and I have a propensity to take in "strays" and I've discovered this. Don't! It's bound to end in frustration and disappointment because people don't change for external reasons.

I'm currently trying to work it out with her. She's fading though. Can't make someone love you I guess.

[Justneedtokno]

What if you want to try but you don’t know where to start

[MicahRaine]

I'd seek advice from someone else.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. One I dated for a couple of months when I was 22 told me, "You're a five year project." She was 30 and basically meant I was fun but too immature for what she wanted. And she was correct, except seven years later I am still not what she would have wanted.

[Justneedtokno]

I feel like I’ve done this to someone recently and it wasn’t that I didn’t want the person. I’m 30 now and the person that I met was definitely younger and now he’s 27. There’s no way you could be serious and I don’t want to take you youth away.

[Grond21]

Are you asking if you chose them not for who they are, but who you hoped they would become?

[NathanDavis]

nope... I would never gamble with feelings like that

[Wiredone]

I'd just move on

[Juxtapose]

That shit never works.

[Billlewis]

For my maid/servant potential, yes.

[noohair]

All relationships require hard work every day.

[legalboxers]

some but not

[Ironco]

Move on...
