Why would a male or female want this type of relationship Fabulous Females: The Pseudo-Boyfriend and Just Making Space: Surrogate Girlfriend, Do You Have One?

Why would a male or female not want what God wants for them relationship wise?

Why would a male or female be willing to put up with something that God does not want for them?

Godly ordain relationships requires patience. In many cases people become impatient & instead of waiting on God to place a person in their lives they go out searching themselves. The majority of the time it's in the wrong places. Not to mention many relationships are formed out of lust. As far as putting up with things they shouldn't some people just hate being single & are willing to endure in the relationship in hope that things change

You hit the nail on the head PrynceNY, people settle so they are not alone. I say that I would rather be single than married and miserable.

I don't think mist people "want" that those kinds of relationships. It's more like you're single, and then you start getting particularly close to someone of the opposite gender and either mistake that affection for love or unintentionally warp it into something greater than it is.

Mist people are weird...

Because a good friend and someone to share an experience with is better than being alone all the time. Things can get complicated from there as closeness develops and most of us aren't taught good standards for how to guard our hearts and have healthy friendships while limiting the closeness that develops. People don't start intending to get there, they end up there and then realize there's no way out without someone they care about getting hurt.

And while there have been some difficult and painful lessons along the way, I can look back and say that there isn't a guy I've been close friends with that I regret knowing or would rather not have known even if there are some things I would change if I could go back and do it over. So we can't paint this as just one whole big negative. So the real question is why is this a pet soapbox issue for you where you seem to have developed very broad standards using a very narrow perspective?

I will re-word my OP to include that this is a pet peeve of mine since it does not lead to anything worthwhile.
