Do you believe in the saying "right person, wrong time"?
Someone said it to me earlier and I'm not so sure.
If they were/are the right person, would it not automatically be the right time?
dunno
No I have just discovered a wright person and it was the wrong time. At first because it was complicated by others being around. Then it was just too late. I am hoping for another chance.
So who knows?

Time is everything.
Time places you in a circumstance
Time adds complications
Time brings with it it's own set of responcibilities.
Time is a tide, with ebb and flow
We cannot ignore Time and all it's attendant attachements.
with Time there comes consequence
there may never be a "right" Time, but Time cannot be wrong.
Time is a drop... a river... an ocean.

...as for people... !!!

yep....totally agree with that Nola
I think if you meet the right person then you will make time for them.
If you cant make the time then maybe its not the right person dunno

Deep man... deep! :headbang:
The words my dear... what did you think I meant? :grin:
LP's words are profound and they are very much on the mark, time answers to no-one.
In edit... I do wish the :headbang: emot worked in here!
Its banghead not headbang varca lol banghead
Picture the students who meet at uni. They've slogged for years to get to that point- and their career choices are set to take them in different directions.
That's just the blindingly obvious one. Most of us will encounter the right person at the wrong time at some point in our lives.

I appreciate that time is complicated etc etc... but does it not mean that if the right person/wrong time thing is right, then you spend your whole life regretting that missed chance or that wrong moment?

When and if the time comes. we have 2 choices. We either use our head or our hearts. Only the person in the situation can decide what is right for them, be it right or wrong.
I used my heart 10 years ago and things didn't work out. Do i regret it?? Hell no, i have a son that i love :smile:

That's a cool post.
Unfortunately I'm paying for someone else's indecision - or wrong decision - or, well actually who am I to make that judgement on their behalf? I may be neither right person or wrong time to them.
2009 will just have to be chalked up as a year of many regrets.

dunno

Hmmm multiple choice, I like those wink
Short answer ...... yes
In explanation ........... there can always be a time in your life, when you so really think that you are ready for something ........... I mean really believe it .................. and then it comes along and scares the living bejeebahs out of you because, ... actually ..... no you aint!!!
A year or two later, you’ve settled down, life has taken its courses and twists and turns, , , ... and guess what? ............ you start to think ............. hmmm, you know what? Maybe I made a bit of a boo boo?
Sooo. In answer to your question ............ yeah, absobloodyloutley. :thumbup:

I love your posts Pete. :thumbup:
Yep, I think I agree with you. Can you tell me why I always meet them when I'm ready and they're not then? :doh:
I think there can be different people that seem right at that time. But you don't know if they are right unless you try, what you then might find out is they were not right at all. A couple of saying is you never know someone unless you try, and the grass always looks greener on the other side.
Nobody I believe is perfect for us in every way, we all have faults and our own insecurities, what becomes perfect is accepting this.
I have been with my hubby for 30 years, he isnt perfect but neither am I, but we wouldn't change each other for anything else, his strenghts are my weakness and vice versa. We fit together like a pair of gloves.

Sometimes you write something with such meaning with so few words that it takes my breath away.
This was one of those moments :thumbup:
Ok, I'm going to be a bugger here.
I don't for one moment believe there is a wrong time. I will explain what I mean.
If the person you meet is the right one for you, then you will both make sure that it is the right time. Time is an irrelevance.
What IS a problem, is circumstances and if they conspire against you, then they can be difficult or impossible to overcome.
If someone says it was the right person, wrong time. I believe they are saying that it is the right person, but only for now and under these conditions. This is a temporary thing. It has no lasting future.
If it is the right person, no conditions need be set. They will be mutually sustainable entierly dependent of time constraints. Circumstances may dictate it is difficult to maintain a relationship, but if it is the right person then they will work towards changing these circumstances to ensure they become favourable.
If they don't, then they are not the right person for you. Simply because they are not willing to make the commitment and sacrifices you are willing to make.
Right person, wrong time is a con. It is a cop out. They are not saying you are the right person for them, what they are saying is that you are the right person for them at this time and given these circumstances. Change the circumstances, and your position becomes untenable.
I didn't mean that to sound harsh. Time is never a problem, circumstances are. If someone has the time and circumstances in their favour and still will not commit to even attempting a long term future, then they are definitely not the right person, regardless of what your heart or head is telling you.
The right person will want you whatever... not whenever.

You don't sound harsh at all - I think that's what I was getting at.
And I should point out that the 'right person, wrong time' was a friend's observation on the situation - not the person involved. wink
Hmmm - cool debate and I never thought of it from this angle :-?
I've just 'married' my 'right person, wrong time' (first time around) so I guess in context I'd say that if they are right for you, it doesn't mean that they won't come around again.
However, I guess if we mean time = circumstance then I'd say that sometimes things that can't be now because of geography, career timing, emotional baggage etc might not necessarily always be like that smile

I'm glad you guys got the circumstances right. :thumbup:
Alas, I appear to be on a parallel circumstantial plane to all eligible men... or something as equally f*cked up and nonsensical! wink
I think Res has summed up what I was about to say on the topic really. I think if something really is right for both parties then you'd do anything you can to make it work Really there are only a couple of circumstances that you can't do anything at all to work round in some way. If someone isn't willing to compromise or change aspects of their life so that they can be with you then they just aren't that into you. wink
