How do you handle waiting for the perfect person until they’re ready to be together forever?

1. I don’t think that’s a reasonable request.

2. In my experience, if it was the right person, the time would be right too. Often timing is used as an excuse when someone doesn’t actually want to date you or isn’t actually emotionally mature enough to do so. Life is too short to wait around for people like that.

3. I don’t wait for anyone. No matter how much I like them, how perfect they are, I refuse to put my life on hold for anyone. Asking me to wait is not a reasonable request.

4. I don’t put my life on hold for anyone.

5. I don’t. If they truly wanted to be with me, then we would work it out now. If they don’t want to work it out now, then I’m not waiting for them. If the timing is not right but becomes so in the future in their mind, then we can revisit the discussion when the timing is right, but there’s no guarantee at all that I won’t have already moved on with my life. To be honest, I almost certainly would have. I’m not interested in pining away for someone who’s not sure they want to be with me.

6. The right person is on the same path at you. Not waiting somewhere else for your paths to align. Right person=right time. If you want to wait and see if you line up better later, go for it. But what they’re really saying is you are not the one for them, right now. Which is all we’re guaranteed.
