some would say "i would rather be with the one who loves me"that way its much safer no sufferings no heartache because i know for certain that i am loved but will it make you happy?as in truly happy?then some would choose to be with the one they love,this is like gambling you never know if the one you love feels the same way about you,its like taking a roller coaster ride it takes you up one second and then down in a minute the feelings you get are hard to explain but is it worth the ride? what would you rather have?who will make you truly happy?what would you choose?the one you love or the one who loves you?

hello jade,
we have to experience loving someone and be loved as well by the person we really loved. we can't be happy if we choose the one who we loved,but don't love us in return,as well as the person who only loved us and we don't love back.
believe me,i have come to such situations before,and it was not happy to be with someone who loves me and i find it hard to love him back. i have tried loving him,the way he should be loved,but i just can't be happy. it was like a roller coaster ride that keeps on repeating and seems like never-ending journey for me to believe that i have loved him,but deep inside i am not really happy and i'm just pushing myself to love,which is not right. i have tried letting go of him,but he still wants me to be with him.but it was like a torn that left me when i forced myself to finally decide to leave him.well, i have heard from him that he was tired of our situation,though it was also hard for me to leave him,but that was the right thing to do. we should have to let each other go,to be free.
and i think it just takes time to heal wounds.and i do hope that we both find the right partners we should have in the future.
to be with the person who you love that don't love you back also is such a risk to take.cause you may take rejections too many times,but still you don't want to give up. you can't do anything to force him to love you. and it is not treated as love when you are being forced to do so. love just comes when you really feel it.and those who say some relationships can be developed,i don't think it's always true.it really depends on both of you.
in the long run,it is still better to be with the person you love and loved you deeply as well.in this way,you can always be sure that both of you can breathe easily and stay together in happy way....

i think you have a point there,its really hard to be with the person who loves you but you don't feel the same for this person and much worse to be with the one you love who can't love and appreciate you in return

People have different reasons in finding the love that they want aand they want to be happy too but as for me based on my bad past experiences in love i would rather say now that i will choose the man who loves me than the man i love because it will not be painful if you choose the one who loves you.In time you will learn to love that guy.

I prefer reciprocated love always. There is no point in being with someone if they are not going to give you the love you deserve. I understand sometimes people are a bit stubborn and hope a person can learn to love them.
That is not me I want to receive the same amount I give. I do not believe anyone can be happy in a relationship per say that one one person loves. The feelings of emptiness will surcome into unappreciation.

I would prefer to love someone who also loved me, and that there could no sufferings and heartache you will feel in a relationship if both are loving each other.

I'm happier if I'm with the one who loves me. It's because when I'm with the one I love, but that person doesn't love me, it's useless. It really bugs me a lot. Better to be with the person who loves me, their warm concerns make me feel relief.

Well, they say that it's better to stick with the one who loves you, rather than the one you love, that is if you don't have any choice! But of course it is always the best if the one you'll stick with also love you in return right? Unrequited love I think is the worst thing in the world.

It seems like this would be a really simple answer to respond to. First thing I read it and I was like well thats a silly question I'd want both of us to love each other equally. But then I thought about what you were saying a little more. I would rather be the one to be loved more then I love the other person so I would know that they would never leave me because they loved me so much they couldnt live without me. I think I loved my husband more then he loved me but in the end when I walked away he was the one wishing he could have changed things and being obsessed wishing he could have me back.

I am not care about whom I love but I am really caring about who loves me. Because I think only I am happy with a girl who really loves me and always thinks about me and my success. So I think I can live happily with her. Sometimes I saw mostly person prefer whose they love. But I only prefer who loves me. What about you.

I'D RATHER BE IN LOVE WITH NO ONE. :) There's no point in loving someone who doesn't love you at all, and be loved by someone whom you doesn't love. There should really be a mutual connection between you and your partner which is love. In those 2 situations, actually love is not present. The only way to connect both of you is love and nothing else. Love between the 2 partners, and not just by the one involved.

good day!well,for me i would rather chose the one who lOves me because no matter what that person would truly love me..and i know someday i will also feel the same way too..if you are willing to love then there is no reason for you to be afraid for the consequences that might happen..

I happen to be a very persistent individual when it comes to relationships, which usually plays out for me in the end. For the risk of sounding selfish, I'd definitely choose to be with the one I love becausee I'd enjoy spending each day winning them over bit by bit. Sounds like a movie plot that's been used a couple times, eh?
