wrong time=wrong person?

Is this idea possible? Can you find a person, be wildly attracted to them (physically & mentally) but *not* be able to date them at the present due to misc. issues going on in both party's lives?

Previously, my young thoughts were more towards "If it's the right person it will BE the right time". Ah, to be young and naive again! As I grew up w/that person, I realized it was definitely NOT the right time, and who knows if it was the right person. Maybe it could have been. But circumstances prevented us from ever really knowing. Looking back on who I was compared to who I am I think it was the absolute right time for that person, but for the long run it was definitely the WRONG guy for me.

I am now thinking that it is possible to find a person who *could* be compatible with you, but perhaps not where you are today. Does that make sense? For example...A while back, I met an amazingly special man who I would be so lucky to date. He's a quintessential "Sandi bf guy" (provided the right situation), he's adorable, fun, great friend, thinks I'm fantastically hot, a guy my mom would like for me (ok...you get the point). Maybe? He is not one of those "fun guy" dates where you just go to have fun not caring where things go or if you ever see the person again. He's a potential serious thing. So, my dilema- It has never seem to be the right time for either of us...I am not ready to get serious w/anyone & neither is he. My gut reaction says don't get involved, stay friends, you are not there yet. Timing seems to be just as crucial an emement in relationships as anything else.

In my type-A brain I am attempting to make heads or tails out of all of this. Perhaps my psych major past is haunting me...I like black or white, yes or no. NO AMBIGUITY!

My question(s) for the day:
Is it possible for you to meet the right person but at the wrong time? Does there ever become a right time? Soley by virtue of it being the wrong time does that automatically make it the wrong person?
