When dating there comes a point when you know for sure they aren't the right one. How long on average does that take?? Do you continue to date them, knowing it will break up or do you break up immediately?? The longer you date them; the more attached they become. Won't they just hurt more the longer it goes on?? Tell me what you do.

I see. You get to know them pretty well before you even date to begin with. It's a very good choice. I suppose where I'm from dating is when you really get to know someone. Of course, People say that you really do not know someone until you live with them. That's when you catch them in their natural state.

I will stop dating him and tell him my true feelings for him. I believe that by doing so we would both have peace of mind. I don't want to be selfish also to use the other person's feelings for my own sake.

We are loving a person because we wanted to be happy also not to be lonely. Hurting others feelings is not accepted.

I would think once the relationship stopped working and it became clear that it wasn't going to work, then you leave.
I've personally never experienced that so I have no real idea what that would be like.

I believe there are many people who do not leave at this point. They would rather be with someone than with no one, dragging it along til someone else comes along. I tend to leave pretty quickly when it's not right even surprising my date. One lady told me that it's just dating. There is nothing wrong with dating even if you know it won't last. She dates just to have a good time. Isn't this what hurts people more because they become attached??

Hi bird: It's funny that you ask me this question because that was what I've talked with my best friend. He suggest me to start dating a friend of mine because it may work out. But I really don't like her. I don't think is ethical or correct to say to someone that you love him/her when you don't really feel that. I don't want to make someone do this to me.

You might love everyone before you meet them and that is the greatest way to be, however if you really love your date and you know they aren't your true love then you must end it as soon as you know. If you don't, your words of love are no more than words.
