How can you gauge compatibility with someone when they’re going through something? Or when they’re in some transitional phase in their lives?

Or, if there’s constant change going on within a person’s self and their life, how does compatibility stay relevant between them and another?

There can be many levels of connections between people that deal with their compatibility. Even when we were working through different issues in life some things will always remain about the same. It you work on really getting to know that person and building a solid friendship with them you will in time find out if you are compatible. If it turns out that you are not you have at least made a new friend.

Just my opinion.

@rjc36 I don’t think this totally relates, but I’ll mention it here: Sometimes just remaining friends with someone you love that you’d want love from can be more emotionally painful. Because you’d always have that expectation to have that in return when they’re only ok with a friendship and nothing more. I think then you have to ask yourself can I handle being in a friendship when I have deeper feelings, and I don’t see that holding up well at all. But yea, I guess it depends on what remains the same to build on in time, and if it’s even worth it?🤔
