I'm not in love. And falling in love with the wrong person sucks because in the end you'll be the one who's hurted, or both...
but would you agree with me if i say that the journey through finding love is as much exciting as finding true love? ^_^v
love is such a complex thing. that's my opinion.
I have to agree it is exciting in the beginning, but then destruktive in the end if not both understands that they can't be together anymore in a konstruktive way. Because I find it important to say good bye with a hug and wish eachother the best to find the one who's more of a match.
Hidden:
But people don't really think like that so no wonder 'love' hurts
But that only matches only those who kind of haven't really invested all of their feelings to the relationship. You know how teenagers are, they throw all of their emotions on the table and after they've done that and finds out about something important that hurts the relationship, then they get hurted . I mean seriously hurt. Like today when i watched this show on MTV the guy said to an other girl 'The relationship i'm in now is'nt that serious' which made the girl (who pspied on her boyfriend and an other girl) really think about their future. She thought they we're going to get married or something, apperntly she got dissapointed. Maybe it was a breaking point? Among probobly alot of things like fighting alot/sometimes she decided along the way to break up with her boyfriend.
My point is...If a person invest all of his feelings on a relationship she/he does'nt know will end up in marriage (which is'nt because they're way to diffrent when it comes to important things) then ofcourse theyWILL get hurted.
I mean, some guys simple is in the relationship for sex. Maybe some women don't really relise that and invest alot of feelings on this guy.
I do wish there was a better way to solve things, but those injuries seems to only heal themself with time. I'm just a bit annoyed that people jump in to relationship, invest, and ends up hurted.
I think there should be 3 diffrent categories of relationships.
The sex relationship, only about sex.
The progress relationship, without investing alot of feelings in to the other person.
The on it's way to marriage relationship, where both know the most crucial and important questions in life of eachother and ALL of them are coverd, as in both is totaly okay with the other to 100%. As in he is muslim and she is christian. If both honestly to 100% know it's not a problem their religions are diffre'nt, then no problem! If the man does'nt want to have babies but she does. But she still wants to get married and he as well without having any babies as well, then no problem!(But then why get married I wonder......).
Then they get married and are for ever happy.
But if one of them disagree on one important thing, then they should have broken up during "the progress relationship". If they continue the relationship...then they are doomed to fail, and i have to feel sorry for their kid listening to them fighting about small things when they're fighting about not being happy together actually(without directly saying it)

I was in love a long time ago..
As of now, I do like a girl and she is one of my friends. We hangout once in a while and keep in contact through texts. I found it ironic, as she first struck me as a person I could never talk to let alone be friends with. But the fact that we were put as roommates (along with 8 other people), for a weekend and it changed that. Then, somehow, we were on the same cast for a play. I've asked her out casually plenty of times, and she hasn't turned me down yet. Even if it's not possible for her on a given day, she always makes another day possible. She seems so perfect.
But I haven't had the guts to tell her I like her. That and the fact that I think she has a boyfriend already, but I'm not sure yet. I really want to tell her, but at the same time I don't. I opened up to her a little after a party, while we were both apparently having mental breakdowns. I was unable to stop my emotions, so I just plainly told her that I have a big void that I can never seem to fill. She tells me she has the same issue. Something I didn't expect from her however, is her telling me how she "would try to be there for me to talk, keep me safe and make me smile." No one has ever said those things to me. It's always been me saying those words to my friends, yet here she is saying that.
That's all I have to say now about my special someone.

I have never been in love and I somehow doubt I ever will in my lifetime. Maybe the next life.
I think love might be a good thing to experience though. I wouldn't mind a little love.

I'm not in love right now..
How do you know that it's really love?
I know that it feels great because everybody said so.. and watching some romantic movies tells me that it is really pleasurable...but I really don't know.
I've had boyfriends before, and it was fun...but I never done something that can be counted as true love..like making sacrifices(as they say) or something.

i was married for eight years, and although i get on just fine with my esteemed ex (in fact better, now i only see her twice a week!), having had a long(ish) and utterly uninspiring marriage (then a few carnivorous, slightly evil gf's), i now consider myself cured of falling in love...
but i wouldn't mind being proven wrong, ya know?
@ Lovelymagic - your relationship types are missing key ingredients like dependency, apathy, bullying, social pressure, financial commitments &c.

i had a relationship for 9 years, which ended 4 years ago.
uhm, and last time i felt being in love was more than a year ago, but it didn't bring to nothing, actually.
now for the first time in my life i'n not only not-in-love, but most of all i don't have any boy/man to romantically think of i'm quite a dreamer, it's so odd right now...

This quote describes me well
yup agreed. despite what they say about gals being easily emotionally attached etc, i've never felt strongly enough about anyone to say or feel that i'm 'in love'. probably exactly because i've never experienced the depth of emotion that i think should be associated with the concept of being 'in love'. i was once very touched by the romantic actions of an ex who's now become a good friend but didn't take me long to realise that being touched by romantic gestures and actually loving someone were quite different concepts - in fact, i never thought i was in love with him.
