Speaking from experience, I entered into certain relationships just to pass the time and have some fun. Being young and ignorant, I was not trying to be with anyone permanently. It was not important whether or not the relationship was progressive because that was not the intention anyway.
Now that I'm ALOT older, I look back on those relationships, and I'm glad that I carried it that way. I learned something from EACH relationship. They were experiences that everyone should go through just so people are aware of what's out there.
As for why people who WANT the relationship to progress stay when it is OBVIOUS that it won't, all I can say is that people tend to be comfortable with what they are familiar with. True there are MANY options out there in the world, BUT nothing is guaranteed.
Personally, I aint got no time for the bs. If we're are not on a path together (or have no chance of that ever happening), then we cannot be together. It's just that simple.
Luckily, I have someone that I'm on the path with.
