Don't even think about it too many worry about what they don't even know will happen... If and when it does end then be happy for what you did have and the time you spent with them that was good and move on.bigsmile


I guess this is more what I am trying to say.......Yes other things come up in life, but when the damage is that great and you can't get over it, then dating is more than likely not an option.

How much does fear of yet another failed relationship factor into the way you approach or avoid dating?



Not at all. I don't believe relationships fail. They may come to an end, but they don't fail. If I leave a particular job, did I fail at it? Or did I just decide it was time to move on?

There isn't one relationship I've had where I didn't learn and grow. I have become a better person because of the men I have been with and I think they became better because of me.

So, no. I have no fear of another relationship when the time is right and the right person shows up.

That is good in hindsight. However, when you've reached the end of the line in a relationship that you really thought would go the distance that is not how most think. It is only in retrospect that you can appreciate the good parts. At the parting of the ways most dwell on the failure.

True, but a lot also take years to get over it and yet want to date, but don't get there, because their damage was too great, or they just don't know how to let it go and get on with this spiraling into the grave thing called life

Sage words...
I think for me when a relationship ends I treasure the good times and throw out the bad with the trash after I have learned from it. I get very self analyzing where I have to figure out what I can do the next time around to make it better for myself and my partner.

One of the things I have always held dear is what my grandfather told me. People come into our lives for a season, we don't get to choose how long that season lasts it is up to us to enjoy it while it lasts.

and for me too i do think of the good things of the past... i do individualize each thing... i dont assume and do see how ones are on their own actions... i also still do read things wrong sometimesflowerforyou failure is always an option that might happen.. but if you dont try you will never know if you fear it that bad... if there is worth something to try.. things might be different than you thought they would be..

Very well said. I too analyze and hope to learn from the experience yet my closest friend keeps insisting that I am focusing on the past. She knows I'm an analyst and live by the motto "The only thing I have left to learn is everything I don't already know."
Live for the present but never forget the lessons from our past.
