Perhaps. A relationship is not easy to give up, though. - Facto Mar 30, 19:19 24
- your not in love but the sex is good? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:24 10
  - Or you are not in love but the companionship is good... - Facto Mar 30, 19:31 9
    - If you are needing " love" or " deeper intimacy - then it will be hard to find that right person when with someone else - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:40 2
      - Indeed it is. -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:42
      - exactly! hanging on to Mr. Tolerable hurts everyone. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:42
    - if it's only companionship, I'm out of there. I have friends. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:31 5
      - It's a friend with benefits, though. - Facto Mar 30, 19:41 4
        
        " tolerable" is only going to make a person easily distraced by someone else - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:50 1
        
        read it - you make some fine points -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 20:09
        
        my tolerance is pretty low. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:42 1
        
        I am willing to believe you :)) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:43
- I don't know. I usually find it harder to stay than to leave. I'm a bolter. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:23 10
  - to explain a little more: If I don't actively want to be there, then I actively want to not be there. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:23 9
    - You'd rather be single? :) I have a follow-up question: How long, maximum, until you know whether you really like him, or that you should bolt? - Facto Mar 30, 19:27 8
      - oh, I know pretty fast. One time I stuck around because people berated me for not giving it a chance. I stuck it out for nine months. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:30 7
        
        It's like from Seinfeld.. :-) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:32 6
        
        if I am not into him, I know right away. Sticking around any longer is not just a waste of everyone's time, it annoys the crap out of me. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:33 5
        
        A bit like Elaine.. Or Jerry. - Facto Mar 30, 19:37 4
        
        good sex is the only reason I would consider hanging on. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:38 3
        
        well you *could* but should you ?might be the question ( to IM) -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:42 1
        
        I don't know. I've only done it once or twice and the guy was fine with it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:43
        
        Ah, I wrote about this at the same time, above, in a reply to you.. ;) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:42
- true. its a personal decision, which is why it is hard to explain. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 30, 19:20
- And of course, your suggestion is a good example of such a sign. -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:20
