Mr. Right Now
I heard on the radio the other day about some study that was done (I don't know where or when or by whom) that showed that about 75% of the women surveyed were dating a guy even though they didn't see a future with him, i.e., Mr. Right Now. The radio station had people call in and talk about how they were dating someone, but they knew it wasn't going to be a long-term thing. Most of the time, the women weren't interested in a long-term relationship because there was something "wrong" with the guy -- in once instance, he treated her like crap, and in another, he had a kid and she didn't want kids. They were dating the guys "for now" because they thought it was better than being alone, or they had upcoming events for which they wanted dates and planned to break up with them after the events.
My question is, do any of you have a Mr. or Ms. Right Now? Are you dating someone but don't expect or want it to last? Do you have plans to break it off, or do you think you'll continue until you find someone else or just get really sick of the person?
I thought this was interesting. Personally, I never go into a relationship expecting it to last for a long time, but I guess if I didn't like the person enough to stay in it for good, I wouldn't bother. Really, if I didn't feel that someone was worth a long term effort, I don't think I'd continue seeing him.
