No, I don’t mean settled as in you’ve settled down, calmed, made babies and so on. The kind of settling that I am talking about is the kind where you have settled on being with someone who is less that what you really want. There are basically two kinds of dating people. There are those that are content while single and look at a relationship as a nice bonus, and then there are those that are not happy being single and long to be in a relationship, any relationship.

Settling is a mistake. If you are so sick of the dating game and finding “Mr. Right” or “Mrs. Right”, that you give up and stick with someone who is less than what you really want, you’re doing yourself a real disservice. If you tell yourself something long enough, you might start to believe it. But if the relationship or person you’ve settled on isn’t giving you the satisfaction that you need, you’ll only end up hurting yourself, and eventually the other person. Giving up on finding the person that you’ll truly love and be passionate about closes off the opportunity of you finding that truly special someone, and may instead leave you with a lifetime of heartache.
