Have you ever liked someone who was totally wrong for you?

Have you ever had a crush on someone who was completely not your usual type? Who you knew was totally wrong with you? I really like this guy (and have for quite some time) and although we're friends, we are so completely wrong for one another. Usually I date very stable, very smart, very put together men with bright futures. But I am completely attracted to this loudmouthed, outgoing, pot smoking, unemployed guitar player. However, don't get the wrong impression... this guy is not a loser by any means. He was working at a fantastic job until he got laid off due to shortage of work 2 months ago, and he's been working here and there until he gets hired back on. But still, he's not my type, and I know he would be SUCH bad news to get involved with, but I can't help it. So what about you?

there was this girl i had a huge crush on in school... well the problem was not that i fell for her even though she was not my type... the problem is i thought that she was my type and even when the fire alarms went on i ignored the warnings.... i really got serious about her... my relationship with her was on a complex level in the sense that i did not have any relationship at all... inspite of me having expressed my feelings for her all i got was negative feedback from her... that should have been when i should have pulled my hands from the fire but i let it burn and did not acknowledge the fact that she was not going to ever reciprocate my feelings... i did not want her to but i sure wanted to have a genuine reason ... she gave me nothing... it was nearly after one and half years of playing cat and mouse with her that i learnt she had had a boyfriend all the time.... my type of girl would have spoken the truth and let me no beforehand that she was in a relationship.. my type of girl would not have wanted her friend and classmate getting tortured this way... more than all this my type og girl would have liked me! it was a disaster! and so was her relationship with that guy and the guy after him is another story... sometimes fate decides your menu!

How cruel of her to lead you on like that! I'm happy she got her karmic payback.

I've always chosen men who are wrong for me--they seem right at first and then things go downhill. I've decided, at 55, to give up on them and be happy with the single life! Guitarists are cool, they're so creative as a rule. I learned to play a little and still like to noodle around sometimes. Maybe he's not as wrong for you as you think he is?

I had one boyfriend who left me because I could not help him to find a job in Beijing. It was a very painful experience. I started the relationship when I almost moved to Beijing to work. At the time he was in University for his master degree. We talked on phone or emailed each other. Everything was fun. One year later he graduated and visited me in Beijing. He asked me to help him finding a job but I had no the ability to do it. So after a month he told me he left me and he came to other woman. I was sad at beginning then later I was not. As you mentioned I thought he’s not the man I like. I can not accept a man who wants use his girlfriend to get job or promotion. Although I understand in the world or in our career life we do need help from others.

Hey, it sounds like you like my ex-boyfriend. My very first boyfriend was the one person that I liked who was totally wrong for me. At the time that I dated him, I was a college student, with a goal of going on to medical school. He had been held back many times in school and was still in the 9th grade. I was the kind of person that most people would consider to be a goody two-shoes and he was a rebel who always did the things that weren't expected of him. All in all, the relationship was bad news for me as in the course of it it brought me down, but if someone was to look at it from his standpoint it was good for him because it made him a better person over time.

*LOL* Well I don't think it's the same guy, but that would be bizarre. I guess there are a lot of them.

Oh yes tons of times, i used to be a real sucker for that. One time there was this guy who was such a pig, he had a real bad attitude towards women, he was a bit of a "gangster" but somehow i ended up being attracted to him, and we started to see eachother, i knew from a couple of dates in that we were just so wrong for eachother but it was the lust that kept us continuing to see eachtoher. When i look back now i makes me laugh at some of my mistakes when i comes to men, but hey you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince charming

I guess its almost 90% of women population on earth has been in this kind of situation , I for one is a good example, Fall for a guy i thought who would be perfect to be with for the rest of my life. In fact , I even have 2 beautiful kids from the relationship , he is totally irresponsible!.. Now it makes me wonder if my kids will grow up to be like him.. I do hope not.

Are you kidding? I always date guys that others would say are the wrong type for me...hence my single status. I think the key is to not move in with them...don't set out to change them...enjoy the moment. These guys are fun but you have to go into it with the right perspective. Expect NOTHING and you will not be disappointed. They are not the type you want to depend on to build a life with if you are looking for stability. I have found stability on my own and dating these free spirits is not an issue for me. They are fun to be with as long as you are not depending on them for anything. It isn't a bad thing.

No, not really, i'm always careful of having a crush on a girl. I always get to know the girl first by watching how they act in public and around friends, so all the girls that i liked were definitely the right ones for me.

Well, you cannot really choose who to love or like in your case, someone you have liked. Sometimes, in a very strange way, the person that you are with, turns out to be the direct opposite of the person you have dreamed of. Well I guess nature has brought you closer to this person. Maybe you are really right for this person. For me, so far, I have not experienced it yet. In case I do, maybe there is really a valid reason that has made us together.

Oh yes, all the time. But I delude myself saying "this is not a crush, this is not a crush. I just like him as a person cos' he's so different" etc. I'm thrilled if he responds in a certain way and then relieved that I'm just gonna get him out of my system after sometime. I suppose its a sort of challenge to see whether a certain type of person, completely your opposite can be attracted to you and vice versa. Luckily for me and for the guy in question the attraction wears off after the conquest since we both realize it will never work.

Oh boy, have I. Though I don't know if it was really b/c I liked them or b/c I knew it would drive my Mom insane by dating them. Thankfully I outgrew it, married my Hubby and my Mom likes him and I love him so it all worked out. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

That is the perfect example of opposite attracts. Well there are many times I liked someone totally not my type. This someone could be wrong for me. I don't know either, what is the reason I like him. I have thought that there is something in him that I discover then I begin to like it. That is why it so funny when you already have an ideal man or girl and then you end up with someone not familiar with them and you ask yourself , what is wrong with me? what happened? That is why we call love is full of mystery, love moves in mysterious ways.

It happens all the time to the best of people from all walks of life. The very qualities we abhor, attracts us like a magnet and we kid ourselves by justifying that we just wanted to see what happens when.....or even next.... Every moment we realise that we are drawn into a whirlpool of quicksand but we comfort ourselves that we can pull ourselves out of trouble in the nick of time. No wonder they say "Opposites attract". I would suggest that if you happen to remember having seen a very innocuous looking placard placed at any street corner anywhere in the world, "Park at your own risk", then here you could use a little divergence and tell yourself, "Relate to at your own peril" and rest assured all will be fine.

that's right and it happened to my here in mylot. I think for her I was wrong and prefers to think of me as a friend. well, regarding to you, it's really up to you if you go for this guy. sometimes, when you two are wrong for each other becomes right afterwards, if you would learn from each other.well, if you think he's not the type, then don't choose him.
