As long as I knew in the end, it wouldn't be a waste of time. Because if I waited all that time to figure out that they are just leaving me or cheating, definitely not.
Well I was never the kind of guy that "finishes first" so depending on how much I love the person and I see that there is a possibility that she will give me a chance, then I'll wait and take her the most serious out of all the other girls. My ideal relationship would come from a long, close friendship. I have an unconditional love for a certain someone and I'm hoping one day that will turn into something more than a friendship. If not her then hopefully one day I'll meet someone that I feel the same way about....yeah I kind of act like a girl when it comes to love lol.
If it's someone specific, maybe a few months. If the question is "in-general", have that covered. There are a few that love me and I'm fine with that, blessed. =)
I alone can't do all the loving. If you had said for someone to whom we both truly love each other, then my respond might have been different. I can love and wait for a person, but who tells you that, that person is deserving of my love and my wait.
if he ever gets deployed.... i'd be devastated, but i'd wait.
