If you had three days to live and you still hadn't found your other half....

Would you give up hope completely and concentrate on other ends or would you still find a way to be optimistic that you'd find her (or him if you're a girl, or, if that's your thing..) until it were no longer possible?

I'd burn life's house down. With the lemons.

I WILL move forward. I stop for nobody. Stop me and I will BEAT you with a pool noodle.

You can come with me though. If you want. I'm cool with that.

I'd see what life had in store for the remaining three days, any time I've met someone who I developed feeling for it was unexpected rather than by design.

I'd focus on other things too, I focus on other things anyway and perhaps that's why I'm single but its also why I'm not in an unhappy relationship of some sort and I prefer that arrangement.

With three days to live I'm saying good bye to the people I need to, making my peace with God, finding a few things I enjoy to do and doing them. Not wasting a single moment of a single day.

Naw, with three days left I'd settle for a kindly rando.

It seems selfish to want to meet someone if you only had three days. I'd much rather spend that time with those who already mean the most to me, than being giddy over some "soul mate".

why bother if you only have 3 days left? "soul mates" (god I hate that term! it sounds like a hippy took over hallmark :sick:) are long term things, not something that you get for 3 days and then drop over dead :shrug:


... it's like Lurlene Mcdaniel has come onto the site and started a thread... or Nicholas Sparks... if this happens can they please be banned immediately? :puppy_dog_eyes:

Other half? Are we not whole beings if we choose to fly solo?

If I had 3 days to live, I'd likely spend that time exploring/doing ridiculous things with people I care about, & die spooning my cat, who I hereby bequeath to my INTP friend to look after, upon my death.

The Cast of This Moment Because of @bold:

Laughter: Erupting
Water: Everywhere
Soul: Satisfied

3 days left.... is a long time if you are a butterfly. As I am not a butterfly, I would probably spend it with the family and friends who mean the most to me. The End.

I would definitely probably hook up with the person I thought was closest to 'that special someone' at the time.. but I'd probably spend one day with my family, and then travel far away somewhere crazy and spend my last moments in the biggest, most lavish remote area possible, with a beautiful view, and probably worry about stupid things like who would probably get my best pairs of shoes and if I left the oven on before I flew out, or what actually happened in Game of Thrones book 6. Then I'd panic for the last few hours since I probably forgot to record the exact time I'd die.

I'd have a passionate three days with someone I got on with really well. A last hoorah of feelings, because even if you have all of the time in the world you can't force a search for love. One shouldn't even really be searching-searching for it, you know?

That's a silly idea. It takes longer than 3 days to figure out that someone is your other half anyway. I mean, I guess if you had some suspicions that you already found your other half I guess. Then you could do some dramatic exclamation of it and then make that person miserable and regretful after you die. Actually, that's kind of selfish. Sheesh.

What other half? :huh:

It seems like everything around me (media and people) drive themselves nuts with this assumption.

That'd be a mighty cruel thing to do to somebody, IMO. And a waste of time. I'd rather spend my time with established loved ones than chasing down an elusive and possibly mythical stranger.

Oh, it's "better half" now? As if other half wasn't grasping enough.

Ey dont get literal on me S-guy. I am on your side :) (I used 'better half' to make the statement look better as a metaphor)
