LOL well the next after hours beers should be good with all this springtime sexual tension in the air!!!
I nearly did settle and realized there's more to life than that and will NEVER settle now! And if I don't meet the right person I will still have a perfectly nice life! And will have lots of shelves and cats....:eek:

If this thread dosen't prove the Americanisation of the place I don't know what does. Big deal, you won't settle for anything less than unbelieveable looks, unbelieveable personality with a fat wallet to boot. Then you will wake up. :cool:

Not gonna settle.
Whats the point shagging someone you're not in anyway attracted to, let alone getting married.

Because you want to have children and will still feel a strong connection with your children even if you don't with your partner. The other option is never feeling such love ever. Not everyone views sex as the pinnacle of human life.

In 15 years time if i have not had any luck i would settle.

I'd settle. Even if I did fall madly in love and got married, would I still be in love 20 years later??
Might 'love' but thats loving the normality and comfort, we are creatures of habit after all

I'd never settle for anything less than exactly who I wanted (and thankfully I got that) but I've always been a do what I think is right for me kinda gal, not the do what my mammy wants/what the jones' down the street are doing kinda gal.

Sadly, I know of at least four of my friends who really obviously settled and one of those makes no secret of the fact she's working on a time table in her head and her OH was just in the right place at the right time. She even complains about the sex!:eek:
I can see it all going horribly wrong in a few years when she's reached all her goals and has a look around at her life.

Sounds like a lovely girl. I think in this case her bf maybe settling.

Maybe it's a mutual settling??:eek:

It's funny, I wonder if I'll ever settle for someone that I wasn't 100% into? I almost did a couple of years ago. Man, remembering the feeling of relief when it was over makes me think that I could never just settle.

I get the children argument but honestly, right now, I'd prefer not to bring children into a forked up relationship. If I'm that desperate for company I'll get a dog!

I hope you appreciate how lucky you are so!

yeah I know a few of those. I have times set in my head for when they start flinging cutlery at each other

My friend and her boyfriend stayed with me over the weekend - Jesus, their relationship would drive anyone mental. Paranoia and lying- what a pain in the ass to be around.

I don't think I could settle at this stage. I've been in a couple of long term relationships that were heading that way but got out for one reason or another. I met my ex over the summer and he told me I'll never commit to anyone. I'm not really sure if that is true or not, I was kind of taken aback when he said it to me. Sure we'll see I guess.

Apparently if one is over 40, one should settle.....well drop standards from a 10 to an 8 (or less)

my girlfriend settled for me, man am i glad

Your girlfriend didn't settle... Id bet shes perfectly happy, and loves you VERY much...........:)

Mr Benevolent

Define 'settle' and there'll be far less confusion in here. One man's settling is another's dream relationship.

I'll put it another way. To me, someone buying a Ford Focus 1.4 LX is settling. I wouldn't be happy with anything less that a 1.8 turbo or a 2.2 turbo diesel. But they guy down the street thinks that I'm settling because he just bought a BMW 750 V8.

Same in relationships.

G-Money

I think when people are talking about "settling" they mean sort of giving up and accepting a partner they're not totally mad about. Sort of a "I probably won't do better so I might as well just accept this". Better to be with someone you sort of like than to be alone.

I think though once you are happy with the person though, settling takes on a different meaning. It means "I'm happy and I don't want anyone else".

This was only done a few days ago... jesus christ.
