will you or will you not?

A friend raised an easy question to another friend which may not have such an easy answer after all.
Q : You're not so into that person. However, if in the end, there's no other options / alternative, will you still choose to be together with that person? Will you?

I could not answer this question because I've found the person I love.

There are differing views on this though :

1. NO... It wouldn't be good to treat others as last options. It wouldn't feel good too if we are that person's shoe. If we think we both are not meant for each other, let the person go. Do not hang on or give that person hope just because we are afraid we couldn't find other better options. Thus if you've let go, no matter what happen in the end, you'd rather remain single than to drag the other person (whom you may love only half heartedly) in.

2. YES ... Sometimes, when we come to the last options, things may just work out wonderful. Never try never know. Sometimes, when we are still capable and have the conditions to find better options, we do not want to settle for 2nd best. However, things that doesn't look bright in the beginning may shine in the end...Susan Boyle remember?

3. YES ... Human being human are greedy and selfish creatures (although not all, i do not want to generalise). We do not want to be tied down to a person because we are secretly hoping we find a better option down the road. At the same time, we may refuse to let the person go because we want 'security' .. something we can fall back on just in case other options fail. Thus we want both the 'grass is greener' option and the 'security' despite being unfair to the other person. In the end, you still think having 'someone' is better than 'having no one'.

But then again, like they say, love is blind ... you could be not into that person at 18 but love that person to bits at 28... so things in life are sometimes hard to say.

Will you or will you not?

there is a saying that "its better to be loved than to love". i do not commend this action but if you look at it from an older person say 40s or more, if you are still single, most likely, the people around you either gone or have their own lives. they may not spend so much time with you

it all depends on what you want to get out of that relationship, companionship? love? activity partner?

sometimes, u could love the person very much and yet that person is not the right one for marriage.
