Why you shouldn’t fall in love with potential

I’m not saying that you can’t be in love with someone’s potential. It’s just that if you fall in love with someone’s potential, it will only lead to disappointment and heartbreak.

You can’t date someone based on their potential.

Potential is not a relationship, it’s a dream. It’s all about what you could do, not what you have done. The difference between dating someone with potential and dating someone who has already made something of themselves is that the latter will have their shit together in some way or another–they may not be perfect but they at least know what they want out of life and are working towards getting there.

Potential can be set aside for things like career and family; it can’t be put on hold indefinitely while you wait around for your boo to become something more than what he/she already is (or was).

Potential is not a relationship, it’s a dream.

You may have heard that potential is a thing. It’s not. Potential is a dream, and dreams are not real. They’re just thoughts in your head that you need to wake up from before they can become something else, like reality or actual relationships with other people who exist outside of your own mind and body. You can’t build anything on something that isn’t there yet!

Potential is all about what you could do, not what you have done.

Potential is not a relationship, it’s a dream. The potential is what you could do, not what you have done. Potential is not a marriage, but rather a dream–the stuff of which relationships are made; the raw material from which they’re built; something that exists only in your mind and heart until it becomes real by action and effort on your part.

Itisn’t something that can be measured by others or even yourself; it’s just there inside of us as we grow into our full selves–as we become more of who we were meant to be in this world (which means changing over time).

Potential can be set aside for things like career and family.

There are some people who are still in love with their potential. They look at their partner and see the person they could be together. Instead of the person that they are now. This is a mistake because you can’t fall in love with something that doesn’t exist.

Potential is not a good basis for love or marriage: it’s too abstract and intangible to measure or quantify. So it won’t hold up under pressure when things get tough (which they always do). Love requires commitment and dedication; if you’re going to commit yourself to someone else forever, then make sure that what you’re committing yourself to is real. Not just an idea or dream!

If you fall in love with potential, you’ll only ever feel disappointed when your partner doesn’t live up to your expectations.

If you fall in love with potential, you’ll only ever feel disappointed when your partner doesn’t live up to your expectations.

Potential is not a good basis for love or marriage. It’s about what people could do, rather than what they have done or are doing now. And if someone has the potential to be an amazing partner but chooses not to be one? That just means that their choices are better for them and their life than being with you would be. That’s fine! But if you’re looking for a permanent relationship and family life. Then having someone who isn’t interested in those things isn’t going to work out well at all.

Potential is not a good basis for love or marriage

Potential is not a good basis for love or marriage.

Why? Because potential is not a relationship, it’s a dream. And as we all know, dreams can be easily set aside when you’re busy with career and family. It’s easy to forget about someone who has so much potential if they don’t actually do anything with it yet. And even if they do something with it, that doesn’t mean the relationship will last forever.

Conclusion

If you fall in love with potential, you’ll only ever feel disappointed when your partner doesn’t live up to your expectations. You can’t date someone based on their potential. If they don’t live up to it, then it’s time for them to go.
