    When getting into a relationship, would you rather have something comfortable, yet maybe a little boring, stable, and somewhat "guaranteed"...

    OR

    Would you rather have someone fun, exciting, adventurous and and not a guarantee?

    comfy, stable. I'm not a big risk-taker, and especially with relationships I'd rather have something/someone I can rely on to be there when I need them.

    I like risky.

    Hopefully she has an eye patch and a hook too.

    Comfortable, yet maybe a little boring, stable, and somewhat "guaranteed", although my husband started off as the second option and eventually morphed onto the first option, so I had the best of both worlds I guess you could say. ;)

    I have a relationship that is both. One week, we're on the road, maybe fighting, threatening to leave the other in some random state, but always having fun and great adventures, and then another week we're home, working, sleeping, doing boring stuff, but we go to bed each night happy and content to be with one another.

    I don't want a relationship that is one or the other. I want both, like I have now. I can be crazy and fun, but I can also be simple and hard working and I need someone who can appreciate all of me.

    I'd definitely take a risk. I wouldn't want to stay in a boring relationship - that lacks passion and excitement - just because it's "stable".

    or maybe you need a stable person to even things out!

    My Erik is very calm and stable while I am not, and we're a good mix

    hee hee, yeah he's my redhead.

    I like more laid back guys only because if I had a crazy guy,I don't think the relationship would last long. It would never be boring though!!

    Interesting choice of words. Were they intentional? Or perhaps words chosen subconsciously?

    I understand this word choice, and I think it is accurate. I'd much rather have someone, even at the risk of losing something (which is basically only comfort).

    And life isn't a guarantee, so I don't consider a "guarantee" to be a major factor....
