I'm at a loss, falling in love.

China
February 4, 2009 4:37am CST
We have fallen in love for almost four months and we love each other so much. I put her in the first place and I have given up many things for her but I feel there's something wrong with me. Some of my friends said, it's bad for us that I treat her so good. But I just can't stop treating her well. I did lots of things for her and now I'm a little tired. Is there anyone who can help me? (I really love her.)

My friends always advice me to never give your 100% when your in love...because if that person leaves you, then you won't have anything anymore. You said that, you feel like there's something wrong with you? What do you mean by that?

Sometimes I felt she didn't care about me. Maybe it's just because I gave her too much.

i do not think you love her yet that much. it is alright to treat her like a queen in your honeymoon stage. your relationship has to grow from romance to reality and once you are with her long enough to know if she is the one fro you then you can say that you truly love the person. i would suggest that you stop doing things for her which you cannot hold through your relationships. be as you are , let her see who you really are as you are. what i mean is if you are alone with yourself or with friends a=how are you to you and to your friends. treat her like your best friend and you won't get tired of intentionally trying to please her. yes, do not try to please her that is very wrong. just be the right person and you will know if she will love you as you are. there is no use pretending.

because you are being yourself. be as you are to her as you are to everyone but it does not mean you love her less. In time, when you will be with her, you will both be too familiar with each other and you will notice you will revert back to who were. be yourself with her and you will really know if she will love the real you.

you've given up many thing because it's your choice... if that person loves you too... she'll accept whatever you are... maybe your tired of doing things that your are not used too... or maybe its just not like the REAL you... =)

Yeah, I'm willing to do anything for her. I just don't clear how to make our affection longer and sweeter. Do you have any good ideas?

Your friends say it's bad that you treat her good...darling it is NEVER a bad thing for you to treat her well. There is nothing wrong with you for wanting to put her first because you do love her. The question is does she treat you the same, and is she expecting certain things from you like for you to always buy her something?

Thanks. She doesn't ask for any things from me right now. She said to me, when I have a good job and can make some money, I buy somethings for her. She's a good girl.

know what joejoe716, i sometimes feel that same tiredness that you've been feeling right now. there were times that I feel that its only whose giving everything for the relationship and my partner gives less effort for this to work on. i've been asking myself also "does he still love me?" but I can say that he hasn't change when it comes to showing his affection for me but there were littles things which are important to me that he ignores most of the time and that hurts me so much. i came to realize that maybe the reason why i feel this way is that am not getting the same amount of love i've given him, but am not expecting any return from all the things i've done and gave to him, however in one way or another there's something in me that tells me i also need the comfort that i am giving to you, just a little effort that makes me feel am important and still loved.

oh well joejoe... its not wrong to treat a lady so nice... most especially if she deserves your attention. but maybe your friends is seeing that something's not right in your relationship. is she the type who doesn't accept her faults whenever you guys have an issue to work with. maybe that's your friends' is trying to say... in every relationship.. it should always be a give and take. try to weigh things.. maybe they're right. or maybe you just love her that you treasure her too much. that's love. though you know something's wrong. you'll always find a way to make things work out right. just find your happiness. if its your happiness to be with her then nobody has the right to say such things.

A lover can  give his/her beloved so many things.But it can't be one sided.You gave your beloved many gifts.Now it's her turn. You wait and see whether she give you any thing.You proved your love.Now if  she give you some thing it's alright.Then you can proceed.I hope she will be your good partner.

Always judge the way you feel towards things. This is very important to remember that you should always keep yourself and your interest number one in your book. If we give someone else too much attention chances are they will eventually take you as a door mat. Some of the worst critisism a person can get will come from your family and friends. Crocket.

You get tired as you remain the giver and changed yourself for her.You are losing your own identity and hence the tiredness.Being true too is love.Show your original face to her and see whether she still love you as what you are.Don't pretend to act like a good boy.It will be a life long imprisonment,acting.

Thanks. but I didn't pretend to act like a good boy because I'm a good man in myself.

You haven't said anything about how she feels. If she's with you, she's obviously happy. And you don't say anything about what she gives to you either, and how you feel about it, so you must be happy too. Just stick with it, and the love between you will grow into its true form.

joejoe716 I commend you on you being a good man and doing everything for your gf I wish my partner would shower me with such affections. The question here is does she appreciates all that you are doing for her and how does she show it in return. She loves you yes, but she also need to let you know and feel that she really appreciates every ounce of effort and sacrifice you put into the love you have for her. Loving someone is giving of your best, your friends are so wrong in what they tell you. I suggest that you also talk with her and hear her views, ask her if she believes that you are doing too much for her, maybe she thinks that you are overdoing and maybe too she was never treated this way by another man and she don't know how to response. Continue to be a good man, it will pay off in the end, as I say talk to your gf and best of luck to you in your marriage.

You really sometimes need to be notty and not nice.Why?Its because girls get bored of you if you alwaaays treat them well.Do not be bad or cheat her with another girl,but be natural.If she started to bring you presents everytime she sees you,doing alot of things for you,wouldn't you feel a littlebit weird? Peace out!

i used to do that in every relationship and i become tired myself at the end of it... because i give too much and i get nothing in return... may be that is what is happening to you... you should try to loosen up a bit and stop being a giver all the time... relationship is about give and take and if your gf keeps on taking from you and you give everything to her, you are the one who will become really tired in the end... take care and have a nice day...

At the time when you are falling in love then you put your best face in front, you treated her good and now you are getting tired as you took extra measures to impress her, I feel gradually come to your real self and let her see you exactly as you are.Then only it is wise to take decisions.

You got me wrong. My gf loves me and I'm a good man in myself. I don't put my best face in front also. I want to marry her and she agreed. I just want our affection could be better.

You're feeling that way because you're too much of a giver and you have already changed yourself for her.. you've lost your identity and that isn't right.. i mean, if she truly loves you she would accept you for who you really are.. And yes, relationships should be give and take.. it shouldn't always be you who will an effort to make the relationship work..

You've been bitten by the "Love Bug" my friend - don't squash this bug, let it stay and continue to bite you for the rest of your life!!!! There's nothing wrong being bitten by the "Love Bug" - on the contrary, if you're not bitten by the love bug sometime in your life, then there's something wrong with you.

If you are loving her so much,i think it is unnecessary to care about who pay more between two of you.The most important should be the people who you love is worth you love or not.
