Have you ever been with someone that has the qualities you are looking for, but there is something about them that does not give you the 'butterfly' feeling in your tummy; yet you don't want to break up with them because you are afraid to find out that the grass isn't greener on the other side?

Never settle. If you are not feeling it get away.

No, but yet you don`t waste your life on "what ifs" either. If you are not feeling it, move on!

YES. And it's a tough spot to be in, but don't make any quick decisions. Give it a little time to see if that "feeling in your tummy" shows up.

If it doesn't, then walk away (hopefully as friends).

Don't settle.

Lacking chemistry, is all. And while you can certainly learn to love someone, definitely don't make any commitments unless you WANT to.

Wouldn't surprise me if you found another person who fit the bill less, yet drove you crazy with that 'butterfly feeling'.

That's the mysteries of life.

I've never felt that "butterfly" feeling in my stomach, except when my life has been in danger.

To the OP, the grass is only greener on the other side when you do what you want without being outright mean or harmful to other people. Don't wait for somebody else to make your grass greener. Do it yourself.

What about when you get the butterfly feeling in your stomach, yet you had to leave? After leaving, do you wonder if the grass will ever be green again?
