Would you rather date many partners while knowing you won’t meet the love of your life for 20 years, or would you rather be introduced to the love of your life now knowing you guys won’t be together for another 20 years? And why?

1. Would I at least get to fool around with the love of my life if I met him now or would it be just be platonic for 20 years?

2. Could you clarify the question? If someone met the love of their life right now, what would prevent them being together for another 20 years? In both of these scenarios, you don’t get to be with the love of your life for 20 years for one reason or another?

3. Meet the love of my life now. Know him/her for 20 years and live with the satisfaction that there’s someone out there for me.

4. Both of these situations sound nightmarish, but the first one is closer to my experience (I had been dating for about 10 years when I met the love of my life) so I guess I’d pick that.

5. I wouldn’t be able to handle 20 years of knowing who the love of my life was & not being able to have her. 😭

6. If someone showed up for one date and then disappeared for 20 years I wouldn’t even remember them, and I wouldn’t be interested in dating them if they came back. I’d much rather enjoy 20 years with many people.

7. The second option because loophole we can know each other and have a great time and just not be together. Knowing him but not being with him while dating other people beats not having the guy in my life at all.
