Settling Down

There comes a time where every man & woman decides to settle down. Some people catch on sooner than others but I think eventually everyone wants to settle down with that one person who gives us that motivation. Playing the field becomes tiring after a while because you're ripping & running with different people trying to find Mr(s) Right. No matter how long you play the field, people will never be satisfied because they're always looking for more. In their mind, this person provides what the others may lack. Some people never get tired of playing the field and that's fine; to each his/her own. I get bored real easy so if I was into playing the field, I would quickly outgrow it because I would desire someone that could hold me down through thick & thin (good & bad). This is why I think marriage is the answer to promiscuity because you can play the field for so long until you realize you want to settle down with that one man or woman. This person motivates you to change for the better so it's easier to settle down. Let's be real, if someone's not worth it there's no incentive to settle down, right? Right. A FB friend asked me the following question regarding my status: Do you think it's more in the timing that the person is ready to settle down & then find the one or is it both? I replied with both because you have to be ready to settle down before you start looking for the right one. Once you find Mr(s) Right, it's confirmation of your decision to settle down. Everybody has the capacity to settle down, it's a matter of the right person coming along to help them realize that. What it boils down to is this: Why play the field? If you have no intention of being in a relationship, by all means remain single because to me, ripping and running with different people signals some people have deeper issues that need to be dealt with.
