Do You Board The Titanic If Even You Can See The Iceberg?

I dated the Vegitarian for about three months. When we started seeing each other, the subject of kids came up. She works with kids, and very much looks forward to being a mother. And I think she will make an excellent one.

I would rather have a root canal minus anesthetic than be a parent. I don't want kids. Quite frankly, I don't understand the procreative urge at all.

I told the Vegiterian this (maybe not in such blunt terms), and we had a breif pause while she considered whether or not she wanted to continue seeing each other. We did keep dating, but it was obvious (to me at least) that we would end up going our seperate ways.

So I would ask my readers this. Do you launch into a relationship with someone even though you know you have an issue you are completly incompatable on?

Even if it all ends in a horrible shipwreck, at least you might have some fun before then, and learn from each other. As the quote goes: "Better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all."

I believe we should be interested in everything and everyone.

I think it depends upon the person that you're dating. I mean if they've made it unwaveringly clear that they want marriage and children and you don't-then it seems odd to continue the relationship because you each want vastly different lifestyles. It doesn't mean the person is any better or worse than you-just different choices dude.

I revise my answer... Yes! Board the Titanic! You're going to have a great time for quite a while before you're even sure if the ship's heading for that iceberg in the distance!

I should point out I have only asked this as a rhetorical question. This is not a situation I am currently facing.
I am still on my dating boycott.

you could hope to be one of those that survived the titanic and lived to get on another boat....each person you encounter, whether dating or friends will inevitably change you....it's always worth taking the chance
