I prefer to be the giver than the taker here. In a r/s there is much to give and take, so I believe that before I take, I should work hard to give unconditionally. For it is only through this will real love be real and for a r/s to blossom. Don't get me wrong for a hopeless romantic or idealist. On the contrary, read along the lines and you will know that there are no free lunches in this world.

You see that's the unique thing about love. You should not be expecting any returns most of the time. It is certainly not like an investment account. The more you expect will and most of the lead to more disappointment for no one including your close and love one can tell what is on your mind most of the time. Let me ask you a simple question, have you ever expected your partner to get a birthday gift but ended getting something you did not really like eg. the design, color or size even? So you see, this world is imperfect and things do not always turn out the way you want it.

that's why i started this discussion.choice occurs in such imperfect occasions.we should give up something in order to get another thing.

Mostly people would like to choose the one who love her.But I think I will marry someone who I donn't love and he doesn't love me either.^^I just think it is fair.

well to be honest, i am already married for almost four years now and we both love each other very much. it wasn't a i love him or he loves me, we loved each other from the start. we have had our problems, but what couple doesn't. i got lucky and found my one and only true love as well as he found his. i believe that you shouldn't just settle for someone because you don't wanna be alone. i believe that everyone was born to love one person with all their heart and soul and sometimes it takes a while to find that person, but once you do it is so worth it. he's my soulmate and i was born to love him and only him in a way that i could never love anyone else in my entire life. thanks for posting and God bless

It should be both. Marry the man you love, and he should love you in return...

Nobody can give the accuracy. Nobody. Every person expects a perfect life. I would be a conservative one now by following the wave after my past experience, the gain and pain from a relationship, because nobody's perfect as just like wants to. We and they were born with both black and white side. So pushing our target seems more burden than having what we wanted on our past wishes. No one can guarantee love-based marriage life will be a successful family. But living single yet has its own itself difficulties. In both circumstances, if you choose one of them, you will need to be ready to accept both sides, no one can change basic personality and habits easily unless the person him/herself, no one can change the unique life of other's will. Changing is just temporary for curing the wounds, which one time it will be returned again, the situation will be happened now and then. Swing up and swing down in other occasion. My advice is, just adapt to the swing, if you want to be a married one, then you need to prepare mentally to accept both sides of a new life where you never had in your single life. We live on a wheel, sometimes we are on the wheel, sometimes we need to face the dilemma that we are under pressure below of the wheel. "If you want to be forgiven, forgive yourself is the way"

I will marry the man I love and who love me in return. Love is a two-way relationship. If one doesn't cooperate and feels the same way, it will not work out. It will end as a failure.

i agree with you,one loves more may not ask his partner the same for return. nevertheless i think it doesn't work for a long healthy marriage. to keep a long relationship in marriage, both should adjust themselves to go with others. an imbalance station in love or marriage both leads to a failure.

I think I'll finally choose the one I love,even if he is not love as much as I do. I know it is wiser to choose the one loves me, but if I really do so, something may happens to me. I may have a extra-marital affair, maybe I will encounter ONS. I'll treat him as my family, my close relative. Thus it is unfair to him, right?

interesting response! while do you think the same instance would happen at your partner who loves you less than you love? maybe he will encounter ONS or has a extra-marital affair according to your hypothesis. possibly,your real meaning is you don't mind being hurt by your husband compared to hurting him instead, do you?
28 Feb 08
I think I don't have choose.hehe.It is very sorry that i don't have girl friends yet.I love the one who not love me.Who love me But I don't love here.Very awful. The last girl I loved is a clerk of a foreign company.She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.and she is very friendly and excellent.but she don't like.becasue I don't have hourse and car.This is the last one I loved. I think I worn't love anybody from now on.

i'm sorry to hear that. Christopherchen, you should never be despairing. as we know,love is such thing a little romantic and psychic. while,to build a family,we should consider something more,specially material base. i think that girl refused you because she didn't love you so much. on another hand, she considered more than you, she is realistic girl who you don't fit for. why not go for another who loves you and you love her for return. don't give up,my friend

I think i will choose the one who loves me,because i like the feeling being loved.It's a tough thing to love a person,especially when he doesn't love you back.and i think even though you may not in love with the person, you will gradually find his/her advantages when you get along with him/her ,and after he doing so many things for u ,you will find yourself fall in love with him/her suddenly.that is to say, the love can be cultured.it's not absolute whether u love a person or not.it may because u didn't put your mind on him/her so you couldn't realise his goodness. and once i married with the man, i think i will try my best to love him.In this progress, the one who loves must offer much more than the one being loved.so maybe i'm just a little selfish, i don't want this tough progress, so i'd rather choose the one loves me.

i strongly agree with you on that love can be cultured. that's why we always say one is possible to fall in love anyone he'd like to. maybe people nowadays are more selfish in the area of love. we all take good care of our heart,never give or loose it easily. persons such as you and me both prefer to give our love after we're sure of his love.

thats a great question. thats hard to answer because i dont have a set person that has all the requirements i want in a guy and i know i will never get a guy who has them all so i jus decided to let the right guy come to me. the guy i have in my life could be the one but i dont know yet because hes the jealous type and i am the jealous type too so i dont know how long we are gonna work. i mean we do talk on the phone to each other everyday since we can see each other. we live in different statess thats a hard thing to cope with right now

hi mseddie86,nobody knows what would happen in next minute.thus all that we can do is to grab what we have now.to take care and value it. on the love part,i think it a little passive to go after nothing,and just wait the right guy coming to you.

If I was in your position, I'd go for the one who loves me. I too, believe that there is someone out there for you. Though not perfect, but believe me, as a guy, I wouldn't cheat the one I truly love. Just try to be as outgoing as possible. And good luck on your choice.

yes,to be loved is much easier than to give love.if i can persuade myself to accept the one loves you,the ending should be perfect.

its hard question to answer. as like you said that it would be so much perfect if married with someone who we loved and giving us love back. but in some case it cant be happened. in those situation i prefer to marry with someone who loves me much more than himself.caused its already typically person in love when you love someone, you able todo anything for the person that you loved for :) at this moment, i am on that situation, i know it was difficult onthe first time but as long as you can go along you would be able to be happy with your spouse

you surely have many things without your wife, as i guess that you lived well and happy before you come across her. just a joke! i know your meaning though i haven't met such a deep love. you loose your love if you loose her. you are the lucky one, wish happy marriage all your life!

As for me,I think I will keep single if the one i love and the one loves me is not the same person.Yeah,it is lucky for the individul to find his/her real lover,I mean soul-mate,that is perfect.And in my mind everyone can find his/her ideal one,which is just only a problem of time.Best wishes to you!

to be loved is happy, whenas each item of love should be taken good care of. to keep a long stable family, only love is long distance from enough. both two should pay out. thanks for reply. welcome to my lot and wish you enjoy stay here.

i think if you are an easily touched person, it's not difficult to accept someone you didn't love before. as long as you love him a little, as long as he tries his best, you'll have a happy ending in your marriage. good luck, my friend.

it's deeply to tell the choice from my heart due to my neglection of the girl's gentleness, leaving me in the lonely city. years latter, no girl running in my mind, I choose reading and working as all my life, causing my unbelieving of this feeling. consequently, waiting, just waiting is my response to the God's invitation. regretfull I am after her leaving with departing seems happenning yesterday. So for the very one, just waitting, and make mistakes not again.

i'm sorry to hear such sad story of you. i think the girl has the freedom will to choose stay with you or not. to be realistic is not a sin of her at least. it just proved that she didn't love you so much as you did. you shouldn't feel despairing for somebody who hurt and already has away from you. love is such a nice thing that each of us should enjoy. you can give up someone but never give up love. my advice on you is to go for a girl who loves you deeply and give your love to her for return. you'll be happy then. good luck!
