don't just loose hope and not be afraid to love, yeah sometimes it not the way you want it to be and it hurts like hell but at least the most important thing is that you been in love and just sing the song "all by myself ANYMORE!!!" just kidding anyway I enjoy your post and love is cruel sometimes but don't loose hope. I still believe that you'll gonna sing "It's raining men! Alleluia!! :b
Thanks for posting my friend and happy posting!!!

i should say that i'm hopeless romantic! hehehe well seriously i just let fate to find me coz i'm tired of searching for mr. right. just like what the old's saying, it's like you're playing hide & seek. if you're searching, you will not find him, but if you just let love finds you, you will find him when you least expect it. ironic isn't it..

I wouldn't really say that I am searching for love but I am open to finding love any time, so I guess I fall in the waiting category. I try not to close myself in a small circle with chosen people, I try to widen my network but I don't trust too easily. Better be careful yet at the same time take a risk. I don't really believe in SEARCHING for it, I think the more you look for it the more you won't find it. It's better to enjoy the journey of finding the love you've been praying for. Remember: It's not about the destination but the journey. Or whatever.

Wow that's really a nice quote "It's not about the destination but the journey" It's like thinking that your not searching for the person rather enjoying your life and socializing to others. And for me it's really o.k to take some risk sometimes or you will end up an old lady with 20 cats... ehem..maybe marababe you don't have to search, maybe it's just around the corner :b
Thanks for your time and let love lead the way!!! happy posting!!!

on my younger days i use to search for love, became hopelessly romantic until i found and lost it. and before i end up with my husband i just waited. from my experience, you will really never know who is the person you will love or who will love you in return. coz upon searching you maybe mislead, while waiting maybe he may not come. so be better be in between....

We don't need to search for love, or for the right one. Remember, in love, there is always a right time. You couldn't force anyone to love you. The best thing to do is just observe, feel your heart, and wait! Do not find love but yes, let love find you!

Yes thanks to you my new friend and hope you realize what you've said that we must not search for love and letting fate do its wonders. But what if you cannot wait any longer? Maybe it all depends on the person or it will have to do with patience. I said earlier that's its alright to search and it's proven that you can and it last just like my others friends commented here.
Thanks and maybe sooner Love will lead to you bro. Happy posting!!!!

You misunderstand me. I had completely given up on love, and then one day, when I went to a college club meeting, I met the man of my dreams. He walked through the front door and smiled at me. I smiled back and my heart just raced. It really is an feeling that cannot be described, other than by using the word incredible. He and I have been together for ten months now. We have been there for each other through everything.

I searched and waited at the same time. I'm now happily married and being married for me is so fulfilling in a way that I feel I have done something good with my life. If you will just wait and seclude yourself from the world, there's a big possibility that you might not be able to find the person intended for you to spend your life with. You should go out and enjoy life. It will just arrive at the right place and time.

That's true, you cannot find your lover if your stuck in the computer posting comments ^_^ luckily I have one and even though I do this still I want to share my thoughts and opinion to all of my friends. Its both really fulfilling to have your partner that you will spend the rest of your day with and gaining a lot of friends and earning at the same time?
Thanks for your comment and happy posting!!!

for this question, fortunately i have found my lover already.
i think you do not have to search lover only just because you want a lover,you desire a lover.when the time is ready,it comes. no imposition on love!

hi curie,
Nice answer, love just have to wait huh ^_^. Love really do come in the right time and place and that also happens to me and with that I totally would agree more, It's funny though some person are old and still don't have but I think a little socializing but not searching will do the trick!!
Thanks for the post my friend and happy posting!!!!

My belief is that if you go looking for LOVE, you are often disappointed and sometimes deceived. When looking for love, we tend to see the things in another person that we are looking for, but ignore those qualities that we don't want in a partner until it is too late and end up with a broken heart or breaking the other person's heart.
If we go looking for FRIENDS, we see all the qualities of that other person, the good and the bad. If we have no problems with their bad qualities, it can often develop into love. Once you develop a strong friendship with someone else, it is a good, strong base for love.
You can't be happy if you love someone but don't like them as a friend. I strongly believe that relationships, like marriage, are the strongest when we are also best friends with our partner. Love doesn't always hold a relationship together, but true friendship is like the glue that binds that relationship.
You need to be able to communicate well and talk openly about anything with your romantic interest. You should be able to like doing many of the same things together. This can only happen if you are also good friends.
I had basically given up on ever finding a lasting love. I was 52 years old and had decided to live my life alone and just enjoying the company of my family. (I was divorced at the time.) All of a sudden, there he was. My best friend and true love basically popped up right in front of me! We talked for hours and hours. We loved watching the same movies and shows on TV. We enjoyed the same foods and cooked things together. This developed into a deep love and we were married a year later.
'Hopeless romantics' are basically people who are in love with love. They see the passion and idealism of another person and ignore the rest. Those relationships almost never last.
You must be friends first. If love is there it will develop, quickly or slowly, but it will develop.

Yes its up to you to go find your lover and I don't think its immoral to search and Good luck if you find one but I want to suggest that you rather go socializing and gaining friends rather than searching because most of the time many fails but not all the time and it is also dependent in fate that both of you will become lover and searching is only the first step.
Thanks for the respond my friend and Good luck in searching and happy posting!!!!

I think I've found the one for me. Or he found me. I wasn't searching for someone to "love" when we first met as I was just getting over a break-up from someone I thought was the love of my life. Met him at work, didn't like him at first, ended up spending some more time together, developed a crush, flirted, went on a date and voila!
I never saw myself to be in an interracial relationship. I even vowed (when I was younger) that I would try to be with someone within my racial pool. But here I am, thankful for such a thing. Boyfriend and I somehow survived and enjoyed more than five years of cultural differences and general dorkiness.

^_^ That's a really nice story and That only proves that love really is blind. I don't think there's nothing wrong with interracial relationship as long as both of you understand each other.
Thanks for your story and good luck with the both of you... happy posting

im tired of searching. everytime i search, it seems like it is not the one for me. i always find myself going for my impulsiveness.
i just broke up with my last relationship.
now i decided just to wait. wait until i really feel like giving my trust and love again. i'd been to many relationships that didn't really end well, so im giving myself some rest from those pain...

hey, alecz23. Im the one that waiting all the time. I always think that someone i cant get might be the best, which can includes so many other things. You know, the beauty of waiting is keeping the distance between you and the one you like. Or maybe let love finds me~ I guess its all depends on the character and attitude people have.

I was once searching for love and waiting for it.. And I really prayed for it. And now I am very much happy with my partner. He was my first ever boyfriend and were already together for three years and still loooking forward for our relationship to last...There's nothing wrong when you're searching or waiting for love to come to you..Just be open with it and it will come..

yup your absolutely right... love is like destiny... like all animals are destined to have a partner..so I don't think that a person will live single...(unless you chose to be one) but my point is like you said we must have an open mind and a open heart.... thanks for sharing your story and your advise...happy posting!!!

Well honestly I just waited for it to come in my life.I am lucky that I have found it and that it has found me too. As for me it is ok to wait just make sure that you never let go of the chance for love.

When it happens it happens. I'm living my life right now and am not really looking for anything in particular. Taking each day as it comes and enjoying life to the fullest. If you live your life expecting something each day, you wind up missing out on the things that are passing you by.

Hi johmonster17,
Well like they said love moves in mysterious ways and love need not to be search because love cannot be found but rather can be felt and there's always be a perfect place and time for that.
