Would you rather never have met the love of your life than know her but also know she's impossible to have?

The first one makes your life hollow. Although you would not know it. The latter option makes your life meaningful. But you would also be very sad.
I'll still go with option 2.

second option...I think we've all bin there and made the choice already “its better to love than too never love at all” or something along those lines

I would say it probably is better not to have. From experience.
Is this a real event that's happened to you?

Who'd've thought it? I've been in both situations. Admittedly, I now have her, so I guess she wasn't 'impossible' to have. Although for the first eighteen months of knowing her, it was impossible.
Anyway.
The former situation was preferable.

This, my friend, is a bridge i'll cross when i come to it. You never know how you'll react in a situation till it happens.

"Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." :)

Nah, she was balancing out the luck. Compared to my relationship with my first girlfriend, not being able to have my current one was a walk in the goddamn park.

"Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." :)
Which part of this does that relate to?
If you've never met her, you don't love her, but if you've met her and can't have her, you're not losing her. Or am I missing something? :confused:
As there is no such thing as a “love of your life,” I go with option one, as it represents reality and the current state of existence for all of us, rather you refuse to lie to yourself or not.

I would rather have met her. Not only can I never have her but even if I got her it would never work out. but its worth it to know her.

If she's impossible to have, you'd be better off making her not-the-love-of-your-life. That way you can hook up with other loves of your life, some of whom will be possible to have.

Finding a love that you can never have stings like no other pain you have ever felt. I would go with option1.
Most definitely. I would despise loving something unattainable; a loveless life is far preferable.

I remember hearing someone say once "I can't find Mr. Right, but I am having tons of fun with Mr. Wrong"
I guess it depends on what you mean "meet but can't have", how would you know they were the love of your life if you never got involved with them, and if you did get involved then how is that "can't have them" since you did at one point.

i live every day of my life with option number 2...and i couldn't be happier. If i would have never known her..well i wouldn't be me

Personally I fell in love with my best friend... a best friend that didn't feel the same for me. It was pure mental anguish for many years. It really took a lot of work on myself to get over the hurt and still I am not fully over it, even while I am in love with someone else and marrying them!
