WAIT or FORGET??

July 26, 2010 12:24pm CST
It is difficult to wait for someone. And it is also difficult to forget. But the most difficult is to decide whether you would choose to WAIT or FORGET a very special someone in your life. If you were put in the situation of picking between the two, would you choose to wait for him/her whatever it takes or choose to forget and just go on with your life without that person anymore??

hi khulith:-) the question is like a riddle and not easy to understand soon. Some say that i forgot her/him as she/he was not true to me but the truth is they never forget them. there is no chance of forgetting a special person in our life. we mention them as special since they had done something which does not make us to forget them in any situations. if i am in that situation i would definitely wait for him/her but i will be cautious enough and wont allow the same condition to happen again in my life.

what if I am not sure about his feelings anymore? should I still wait or just leave everything behind even though its risky.

If it is somebody special, you are not going to forget them. Waiting though is not really an option. It is a conundrum that each one of has to decide for our selves. Sometimes how we feel about a person is due to a time and place in our lives. There is a girl who I think about almost everyday. I sure she felt the same way. The years have past though and there is going back that time.

For some time, I did both. I continued with my life for the most part, but waited for him too. I am not waiting anymore, but I still think about him quite often and wonder what if we had gotten together.

They say that true love endures all pain,sorrow and even move mountain. I can say,it depends on the person whom i am waiting. If my love promised me to wait for a year or two then,i will. But,if after two years of waiting and he never fulfill his promise and give me reasons,maybe i can give him another chance. After one chance,i guess it is enough for the long wait,if still he doesn't fulfill his promise after giving him a chance.' One chance is enough,i don't need to wait for a lifetime for unfulfilled promises. If someone truly loves me,he will come to me whatever it takes. Coz love knows no boundaries. Welcome to mylot and happy mylotting

Actually I'm not sure anymore about his feelings, and we don't have any commitment. I am waiting for his response with my feelings.

Waiting and forgeting are both difficult choices to have to make. I would rather wait for someone. Waiting leaves you anticipation. Waiting gives you the hope that you will be your special someone soon. Forgetting about someone is closing your heart to someone. Forgetting someone is painful. Forgetting is wiping someone from your memory. It is so much better to wait than to forget.

I won't actually forget the person, I can't do that, but my feelings for him is the one I'm confuse to let go. For as i said I don't know if there would be him and I again.

I don't think the person that is worth waiting for would make you wait. I hope that made sense. It's up to you but if I were you I wouldn't forget but I would try to move forward with other things and possibly other people. I hope you figure it out and things get better for you! I'll be praying for you =)

Forget, because it's easy for me. I've forgotten most of the people I've met in my life. Give me 2 months, and I won't even remember your name. Waiting is too pointless. Most of the time, they don't come back. Why wait? At age 20, you have only 600 months before you die, on average. How many of those months do you want to spend waiting for someone who may never come back? Move on, live life, enjoy yourself. Do something productive. You may end up meeting something way better than that other person every was, and have a much better life because of it.

WAIT If nothing happens then eventually you WILL forget. Don't try to force it. WHILE you're waiting make sure that you form NEW relationships with others. Don't let your "waiting" hold you back.

I will prefer to wait if its my true love. I have been married for a year and a half. I have seen a lots of ups and downs. I know if something goes wrong between us then i will prefer to wait.

Yes it is very difficult to choose from one of the two, but if I have to than I would choose FORGET rather than WAIT. Ya is really difficult to forget but we don't know whether the person whom we are waiting will come or not. If he/she comes than its ok but if he/she don't come than what we will do. So for me I will FORGET.

I would choose to forget,though it is hardest thing in life to forget,whom you have loved from your heart.I think he don't derive your love and one day he'll regret.............. maybe somewhere ,someone is waiting for you.

I would wait. I think that's the best option for me because it's really not easy to forget. You never know, you might get something wonderful just for waiting. Sometimes waiting is worth it for people. If I was waiting for someone, I would keep my mind occupied on something.

for me, it is easier to wait than to forget. its easier to fake that you already forgot someone so special. its easy to live each day trying to tell yourself that you've already forgot a special person but at the corner of your mind and heart, you are still waiting. some people are even faking their feelings when it comes in forgetting. i, myself, am trying to tell myself to just forget and move on. but i know and i accepted the fact that i am still hoping. thus, waiting for that special person. im not saying its easy to wait. it is hard, especially if you're not sure if that person whom you are waiting is doing the same thing. or if that person already forgot you. waiting is easier if you and that special person had an agreement. if you are waiting, try to get approval from that person. it is much harder to wait forever...

If it given to me I would choose the FORGET,because there is no use of waiting for someone, it is just wasting our life.Better go on with your own life.Suppose if I am waiting for my special one for long time but he never comes back, at last who will be lost.No other than me who always waiting for someone.So don't wait for someone in your life and do forget it......

what a timely discussions you have my friend. I am too in this stage or situation now. I am asking "do i need to wait or forget?' If i'll ask myself and my feelings I will wait until the last hour. But if I will think about myself also without feelings and of being practical I better choose to forget him. Both are hard to decide which one of them but we need to do only one. To sacrifice of waiting or to sacrifice of forget him. I am in favor of waiting I think at least I am still hoping that one day i 'll receive a surprise. What surprise it depends upon to come of good or bad. But i'm hoping for good. I want to be happy in my life so waiting to him makes me happy. Hope he comes.

If it's really the special person, the one who you want to spend your life with and the same with the other then i think it should not hard to decide.

I think I would rather choose WAIT because it is hard to move on if you are broken hearted. Especially if you broke up with someone just because of the worst fight that ever made. At least in waiting I don't mind other people and I can still do other things while I am still a single.

Oh!In my case maybe I will wait since you said that he/she is special. If that person is worth enough for me to wait then why not, but of course I have to make sure that the person I am waiting wanted me to wait for him/her because there are some cases that you are just waiting in vain. It's difficult to forget a person since that person is special, you already build a good relationship and if that person makes you happy then waiting would be the answer.

To wait or forget lie on the current situation. If you love each other like before,and he request you to wait for him sometime for his personal reason.You can give a chance between two.But pls remember,don't wait for him too long because the bloom of woman don't wait for us.so that we must learn to love ourself when we love somebody. If he don't love you any longer,pls bravely forget him,begin your life renewing.Give u a chance to love another person who maybe is you Mr right. If you find that you have no ablities to forget him,pls bury your nice memories in your heart.

Follow your feeling and do what you can do. If you believe he or she is the extramely important person to you, you cannot move on without him/her, so you wait. If you believe you can find someone else, time can cure your pain, so you choose forget.
