Love.

[Nerdcore]

Love really can drain a person out.

and when the other person has no more to give.. do you go out and find more?

sorry .. its been a long weekend and these questions are on my mind.

does this alos make you an attention whore?

I can realte to her feelings. Sometimes the person who supposedly loves you is the best at making you feel spactacularly unspecial.

[Nienna]

I can't explain it. I'm sorry. I've only really loved one person, and he loved me. I don't know if he still does or not, but my heart insists on not letting him go, just in case.

For example. He tells me he loves me still and misses me, but he said he dosn't want to try again... WTF??? (and people wonder why I'm jaded)

[Black Sunday9]

Good luck Nerdcore.

[Nerdcore]

yes. i don't understand why someone says I love you and always will but I can never be with you again . what do they smell bad? I have never gotten that statement

it makes me mad!

Damn sounds like this week has been hell on EVERYONE's love lives..

I don't know why people say that either, Becky.. Love can be an evil demon or a righteous angel sometimes..

[Homicidalheathen]

There is a fine line between being an attention whore and just being someone desparate for a little human attention/affection.

Being in love is the best feeling in the world when you feel it is returned and the worst when it isn't.

I take a break then go try again but thats me.

I have actually thought about starting one of those cuddle parties so we can get physical attention without sex. Anyone interested?

my explanation - there's a difference between loving someone, and being in love with them...i still love my ex, but i would never go back with her, because it would never work - that doesn't mean i can't love her, or even someone else, tho...

Nerdcore im not sure i understand exactly what your saying. If your saying "do i go out and cheat" then er... i'd have to say heck no.

Depends on what kind of a relationship we are talking about. Love can be awesome and it can be gut wrenching.

Im dealing with a somewhat similar situaiton to what Nienna describes above and it SUUUCKs.

I feel like im trying very hard to be a "good guy" and have all the qualities that look for in a potential SO myself as best i can. Yet, i constantly hear girls that are talking about being in relationships with what seem like major jerks. Its a bit confusing at times. Heartbreaking at others.

I've felt like that from time to time, Nerdcore. When you feel like all you do is give and give and seems like nothing good comes from it. It is emotionally draining. But you have to ask yourself "Is it worth it in the long run." If you feel your relationship is worth it in your future aspects of life that you hope to have for youself, then stick by it. If you think it won't go anywhere and theres just to much in the way, then possibly its time to cut some loose ends and start over. You don't even have to call it quits either.. you can always just say you need a break for a bit to get your head straight and decide on whats good for you in the relationship and let the other person decide what they would like to bring to the relationship to contribute. Love seems to be all about self sacrifice - People constantly try to change, adapt, and combine efforts to blend together as a couple. If you cannot find a common ground - what good can come of it? Having standards for yourself doesn't make you an attention whore unless your always around, always in their ear, trying to make yourself known and causing extra drama. That can/will kill a relationship faster then you can blink.. so be mindful of that and you'll be in the clear. I hope you figure things out soon - Best of luck to you!

I Feel like I'm missing something here.... Is your hubby not the msot affectinate person on a daily basis outside of sex?

I agree with you here. People often break up or even get divorced when they still love each other. Just because you realize that things aren't working doesn't necessarily mean that you care for each other any less. But, you have to know when to let go and respect yourself when something makes you more upset than happy. There's also a difference between being insecure and being mature. Above all, people should love and take care of themselves. Plus, there are always lots of other possibilities out there... Why dwell on something that hasn't been working out when you can meet someone new and think about your future?

[paradox]

what happens when the love runs out?

well, either the realtionship ends, or you suffer.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I don't think that love is the demon. Jealousy, insecurity, obsessiveness, posessiveness, etc. are all little devils though.

Ah ok. If thats what we are talking about then it gives me a slightly different viewpoint on the question.

I guess i assumed we were talking about being "in love" rather than loving somone in general. I love probably over half the people i know in one way or another =)
