why would you love somebody who doesn't love you?

October 21, 2010 9:40am CST
we are currently watching a korenovela where the guy is in love with his bestfriend. but the girl is in love with somebody else. okay, guy 1 is in love with his best friend girl 1. but girl 1 has eternal love for guy 2. now there is girl 2 who loves guy 1. girl 1 and guy 2 are set to be married. so guy 1 thought he could find love somewhere else, maybe in the arms of girl 2. however, the wedding of girl 1 and guy 2 was cancelled because of family problems. guy 1, upon knowing the problem, just wanted to be with girl 1 and also broke off his engagement with girl 2. imagine that. what a plot! but really, seriously, why would we fall in love with someone who doesn't love us?

i don't know. i was not a beggar for love. i believe it is a waste of time focusing on someone who does not love you.

We don;t choose who we will fall in love with. We love who our heart leads us to. Sometimes we are blessed to be loved in return by that special person. We can't make someone love us. they either do or they don't.

Well I don't think we really have a say in who we fall in love with. I think it's out of our control, really. If I fell in love with someone who didn't share my feelings though..Well, first of all, man would that ever suck! But I would try to get over it as soon as I could - because there's no point in wallowing in what's not going to work out, you know?

I thing that almost everyone had this case (to fell in love with someone who doesn`t feel the same). I also had this case. I thing that this happens because we meet someone and when we get to know him/her better we see that this person is great in every ways, but most of the times we are afraid that if we tell him/her what are feeling and this person doesn`t fell the same about us we will ruin our friendship or even if she/he fell the same and we begin someking of romantic relationship and after some times we see that this relationship doesn`t go the way we wanted it to go we will ruin our friendship again and also if this person tells us that he/she doens`t have the feeling we have he will hurt us a lot and in the end we will search ways to see this person realy rear because we will feel uncomfortamble in his presens and because he/she hurt us. We will hope that after sometime this feelings that we feel will get weeker and in the end we won`t have to tell this person about them, but in a lot of cases it gets just the oposite we get to know this person better and we begin to like him/her even more that we did in the beginning and in the end we have two choises to cut all of our contacts with this person and hope that when we see him/her more rear our feeling will go away or to continue our friendship and to hide our feelings.

We can't dictate our self on falling to somebody else.It's a unexpected feelings. I haven't tried yet on falling to somebody else who don't love me. For me, falling to someone who don't love me is useless.

Maybe it challenges us. We want to know how long we try to get what we wanted. We want to outsmart destiny. But life is ironic, right? When we asked for sunshine, we get rain. When we ask for love, we get pain.

Perhaps because we know that we are capable of loving, regardless if the other person we love does not reciprocate our love, but deep inside our heart we secretly wish, hope and even pray that the one we love would love us back.

Because we cannot tell our heart who and when to feel in love. Our heart beats soon as it feels love or attracted to someone without asking if he/she is married or not. The only problem is,we let our heart keep loving someone who doesn't love us. That is why,we cried and feel heartbroken,and we cannot blame ourselves for that. No one wants to feel that way or admire and fall in love to someone who can't love us back. Because love comes from the most unexpected moment and places in time. It doesn't know any boundaries,or doesn't even care if it can hurt of not,all our heart knows is that,it feels love..love and love.

I think its answers are very complicated to given. But I want to say that I admire her from last 5 years and also I think when I see her then I feel very happy and also my day goes to very good. So I love her always but I don’t know what the feelings in her heart for me are. Because I have nave say my feelings to her because I am afraid that she can stops talks to me after say my feelings.

Some times it is not love but just a sort of infatuation. May be the girl was trying hard to get and boy has taken this as challenge. He wants to simply win over the girl. How does magnet get attracted to a piece of iron thought the iron itself does not have the power to attract. Is it the iron which is attracting the magnet or magnet itself is getting attracted to the iron. Maybe something as this happens in one sided love as well. You would never know.

yes , this is indeed a big problem to all of us. when somoe body love us but we find its hard to love her or him. but we often find that the girls or boys we don't see him or her often but we love her or him so much. that's the diference. but just cherish what you have . don't do soemthing bad. good luck .

i also don't know the answer to that because when i was still a teenager, my focus was to finish my study and find a job and not to look for love. i had enough of love from my family and looking for love from somebody else was not my priority. I believe that your future partner will come if you are already ready to face your responsibility. prayers also do help to find your rightful partner. Thou going back to your question, loving somebody who doesnt love you is not vain at all because sometimes that somebody will also realized and will say that "why should i look for another if here is someone who loves and care for me". Furthermore, personally i do not like and watch korean telenovela because i find the women there so submissive to their boyfriend or husband and sometimes they are also beern abuse physically and emotionally. I don't let my children watch it. Sorry i have nothing against the koreans. I just notice that most of their telenovela are in that theme.

What you have pointed out only happens in the movies. I guess that we cannot control who we wanna fall in love with, it just gets to you and no matter how much you resist it, it will leech on you like some sort of virus. And you can't expect him/her to love you back in return, that's the harsh reality. But if you're those persistent type, maybe you can try to win his/her heart, I mean like hey, if you can't go all out, why go in in the first place?
