Random question: When you picture your wedding, or having kids, or any other aspect of being married or otherwise in an adult long-term relationship, is the person you picture yourself with always the same, or does it vary from one imagining to another?

(The answer to this question is obvious for those of you already married or already in a long-term relationship, and it's almost as obvious for those of you who have been dating someone for more than just a few months. I'm more curious about the answer for those of you who are single, who are near the beginning of a relationship, or who are dating around or whatever.)

I don't really have a specific person, because I've never dated anyone. I guess every so often when there's a guy I like, I might imagine what life would be like with him...but I try not to let myself get carried away, because that's an easy way to set myself up for disappointment. So most of the time (especially right now, as I'm at a cross-roads and there are no guys in my life currently) it's someone faceless, mysterious, who probably doesn't actually exist. But it would be nice if he did. Maybe he would whisper locus numbers from an archaeological site into my ear, and I could go find him.
