Should you start a relationship with someone you hope will change or someone whose habits, personality, character you already like ?

Question

Answer

People don’t change unless they want to.

Answer

You asked an "or" question with answers that don't correspond.

Answer

No. Do not therapy-date, do not missionary-date, do not fashion police-date . . . do not try to change the person you are dating. Either accept them for who they are or move on and leave them in peace. If THEY want to change and express that to you, be supportive, but do not play Pygmalion with a potential partner. It's manipulative and really not nice.

Answer

I'm in a happy marriage but I wanted to comment because my parents are divorced and something my mom said before about it came to mind.
One reason that I got as a child to explain why my parents divorced was that my mom felt like it was wrong to ask or expect my dad to change. He wasn't a bad person or anything like that, she just loved someone else apparently. 
My dad had apparently begged her to stay and swore he would change, but she always says it would have felt wrong. 
It's hard to say though because I feel that for some, change is necessary in order to grow as a person. I feel like this is one of those grey area subjects.

Answer

The saying goes a leopard doesnt change its spots and its very true. Your unlikely to change someone no matter how kuch you try because they must be willing to change theirself. Depends what their trying to change as well. I'd personally steer clear more hassle then its worth and why get yourself mixed up in someone you know is not good to start with

Answer

People don't generally change..  Their mentality may or some of their habits can be unlearned. Someone's personality..does not change . They are who they are.

Answer

Idk how to answer this

Answer

Someone you already like. Can't hope for someone to change because you want them to.. has to be what they want to do.

Answer

Date someone for who they are, not who you want them to be.

Answer

I feel like it depends. Sometimes the things that they need to change are very minor & everything else about them outweighs that.
