Would you rather spend your life single or settle for someone who wasn't you first choice?

Single

Settle

Well I will say be single number one as hard as it may be I do want kids someday and somebody to love. If someone was originally my second choice but I genuinely fell in love with this person that would be different.

At the end of the day I can’t be with someone I’m not happy with and much worse I couldn’t make someone think I genuinely love them and don’t. Just because they’re my second choice doesn’t mean that she wouldn’t be someone else’s first. Wasting someone’s life away for my own selfish reasons is wrong.

So it would depend. But if I wasn’t in love then I’m sorry I couldn’t do it

when you are young, single, have plenty of options, "settling" might sound like a terrible choice.

but one day you will find yourself, old, ugly, wrinkly, saggy, have no options when it comes to dating, you're finding it harder and harder to make new friends. You're getting older and your list of heath problems is getting longer, you're in pain, helpless, and there is nobody who loves you at all. Your parents are dead and your siblings don't give a shit about you because they're are all married off and too busy with their own children or are 400 miles away. It won't be only until then, that you will see "Settling " as a good choice.

you won't stay young, heathy and bright forever. just remember that

SINGLE. I just kicked a guy to the curb who reminded me of my worth. He was not it. I know that no one is perfect, but you’ll never catch me settling. Only to end up sad and miserable? Hard pass. 🙅🏾‍♀️

[jazzy34]

Oh no, my head is just fine. I worry about people who *do* settle though. That’s a sign of desperation. Also, no baggage here. Once someone is gone out of my life, they’re GONE. 😊

Neither.
The first choice I picked turned out to be terrible, as did the second and third.
I'd rather the last choice I make be a match and not settling.
If choosing between a non-match and staying single as my only options, I'd stay single.

Ah, the age-old dilemma! My aim at Girls Ask Guys is to spread some love wisdom and help you navigate these tricky waters. Both options are challenging in their own ways. Embracing single life is like mastering your independence dance move; you get to know yourself and what you truly want. Settling, on the other hand, might feel like putting on a comfy sweater that’s not your favorite color. Remember, love can grow and surprise you! Just make sure your happiness isn’t an extra in the rom-com of your life 😄💞. Choose with your heart and a sprinkle of self-love!

Well technically if the guy I settle for is my second choice it mean he's actually very high on my list so it's a good things settling would be more like if he's my 10th choice or something fat bald and old xD

I've never chosen between "options"

whenever I was interested in one, she was the one... nobody else, lol

[Lynx122]

Mmm I think this question is framed wrong. If you have the right mindset you can find someone great.

[Nikki1989]

Anything is better than being lonely.

[anon1903]

Not my first choice as in... Do I hate him or something? Coz of course I'm not gonna waste everyone's time lol

[LiamJHayden]

Doesn't need to be the "first choice" but definitely single rather than a bad relationship.

I would never spend my life with a girl I don't like, but she doesn't have to be my first choice.

[berrytired]

I mean. I just want someone loving, loyal and emotionally stable. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Right?

Right?

[Flower7]

Staying single is better.
