I'm sort of half doing that right now.. not keeping myself tied to him, I'm perfectly open to other people, but I'm hoping a little that we'll get back together. Ugh. It sucks.

Yeah, not always by choice though. I wouldn't pass up someone who came along but usually someone doesn't when I'm crushing on someone so I wait.

I won't not date if I know someone I am interested in is going to be on the market again soon, but I wouldn't AVOID relationships of my own to wait on someone. I've done it before, and it was so stupid. Thankfully I learned my lesson young and never went though it again!

Every day you wait is another day you don't pursue something greater.

putting my life on hold for someone doesn't work for me.

it doesn't sound healthy. so they can date, and you can't? if the two of you are meant to be, then just be open to that if circumstances change.

yet be open to finding new love, because if you are so set on that other person that you "just have to have", then you aren't able to give your heart to someone new.

i spent years waiting, in a different way then what you mean here. and eventually you gotta just let go. putting your heart on hold will break your heart, close your heart off, and...well it'll give u issues

It hurts so much to see them with someone else but their happiness is what's important.

After I split up from my last ex, and he had a new lady, I thought for a few, deluded minutes that I'd wait for him.

And then it occurred to me that was ridiculous, and I needed to live my own life too.

I've also hooked up again with old lovers on different occasions, which I don't think would have happened if I'd been waiting around for them. I woulda still been the same lame girl they split up with years before, where as since I didn't hold onto it, and spent my life growing and learning and having new experiences, when we were in the same place again, they were impressed by the person I'd become.

If anything is going to happen in the future, you'll have to let go of the past, and spend the present growing and learning and having experiences and becoming a better human. Not just for your old lover, but for yourself as well.

I have before, and it ended up tearing me apart. It was awful, and I don't think I would ever do it again.

I feel like you could try doing it, but maybe the universe is trying to lead you somewhere else.

I said no only because I wouldn't stay single solely to wait for someone. Take a taste of the buffet, if the one you want is available again, you can make yourself available too.

I have waited around to see whether a relationship ends because I'm interested in one of the people in it. I wouldn't have turned down other opportunities with people had appealing ones presented themselves, though. If we're both single, great.
