Can a serial dumper ever settle down? (DATING AND RELATING DEBATE).

Some say steer clear of perpetual players.

* Benjamin Bratt recently joined Julia Roberts' pack of exes, which also includes Liam Neeson, Jason Patric, and Matthew Perry (among others). Though Julia's ability to commit is questionable (she ditched Kiefer Sutherland in 1991 shortly before their wedding, and her marriage to Lyle Lovett ended in 1995 after less than two years), guys still don't seem to shy away from her. So we asked Cosmo readers, are you asking for heartbreak when you get involved with someone who has a history of bailing? Or can they eventually change their ways and settle down?

YES: they can change (52% WOMEN/29% MEN)

"Although you should be somewhat wary of people with a commitment problem, it isn't always fair to judge someone by their dating history. You have to remember that you're dating that person for a reason, and you have to try to forget everything else and focus on the here and now." -Kristina, 19

I think some serial dumpers are just waiting for the right person to come along. When that happens, true love will prevail." -Marissa, 20

"Speaking from experience, commitment-phobes can most definitely change their ways. Before I met my current boyfriend, my longest relationship was about five minutes. But I've been with him for three years now, and I've never been happier." -Angelia, 25
