i thinks its a good idea becuase your probably tired of getting hurt and tired of wasting your time on people who arent really worth your time and listening to there lies\nThats what i have been doing and u see both sides of the person because u waiting to see if thats the better person or a person thats not worth your time

no thats a good idea in my opinion becuase if this other person doesnt fulfill his duty in the job they may look for a replacement and if you met their standards for the job in the first place, they might call you back

I would say no.  Some people just take advantage of those kind enough to help them out.  You have to know when to say enough is enough.  Asking them to help out after you've helped them out is the right thing to do.

If you aren't ready...you aren't ready..Why fake it? \nIf it's meant to be it will be..My opinion.

ask yourself, how long are you willing to wait? and is that either with or without any assurance? because in a relationship, there is a so-called give and take and it applies on some instances such as yours. you cant make yourself wait that long and then it will all be in vain.how about considering your own happiness? go out and make yourself available to others, after all if the perfect guy is really meant for you, love will find a way so goes the cliché.

i dont know anymore. you'd have to give a person the chance to get to know you better and to get to know them better. any more people are far to busy to take the time to get to know someone. an before they realize it they let "the one slip away" and it will be to late.

It's a personal preference, isn't it ? If you want to wait - then good for you! It's definitely safer.

Yes, I get the jest of your post and there is nothing wrong with you waiting.  I am proud of you and wish I would have done the same when I was younger. If he does not want to wait for you, but all means break it off.   If he is truly interested in you and you say no he will wait for you.\n\nLove does wait.

Those who want to help others first need help themselves

If you wait long enough the problem might take care of it's self.

It is a nice thought but it will never work in today’s world. Just be nice to those you meet and do things for them expecting nothing in return. Many people do perform acts of kindness for others not expecting anything in return and those people in turn perform kind acts for other people but of course a lot don’t.  ◄

Funny you mentioned it. It's my default sentence on my MSN profile. Just a tad different, mine says:"Never make someone your priority when you're only one of their options".\n\nI love this quote. It should apply to everyone. It's true that we should love unconditionally, but letting someone be a priority when we're not... there's some unbalance right there that will create problems later on. \nDon't give up on your dreams for someone that 1. asks you to 2. wouldn't do the same. One day they might disappear from your life and you'll have nothing in your hands, except for the memory of what you gave up. Do it for the right person if you have to. And the right person treats you as a priority, not a second (third, fourth...) choice. My 2 cents.

Yes, of course! I know that this is going to sound crazy but, I think that if you help people it spreads happiness. (you help someone, they help someone else....and on and on) Then maybe someday when you need help it will come back to you!

when they ask you, but if you don't feel like waiting, then maybe you should ask.

I sometimes choose to help simply because I can, without thinking of future rewards. But usually, when it's something\nonerous, I would think twice before offering help. I know I cannot count much on gratitude, so this point becomes irrelevant. Whatever it is I will do, will be based on the amount of pleasure I am getting, or effort, I  am gaining. If that wasn't my approach, I would soon burn out, expecting\npeople to return the favor, or follow my example by helping others, usually leads to disappointment. I don't need to be disappointed or burnt out, why should I be? So, my approach is really practical, utterly selfish, but may be at times very helpful. I don't suppose I exactly fall into the categories described in the question, so don't know if it satisfied your curiosity or not.

It's a good thing.  That is something special you can give your future husband.\n\nI waited way longer than you because it took me that long to find the right man to marry.  I don't regret waiting for him.\n\nDon't let anyone pressure you into going against your beliefs or try to make you feel less than you are because you're waiting.  Besides, it's no one's business but yours.
