I was into a girl. I proposed her but she told me that she want to be friend. Somehow we got a little close but the relation is same ..just friends.Anywar I loved her. Then I met this another girl. I was proposed by her. I accepted in some ways. relation is still going on. The difference is at one place I proposed and other place I didn't. It works this way for me.. "TO BE LOVE" . When I try to love somebody, it never works beyond a certain point. I know this is a kind of confusing topic but it confuses me too. I don't want to keep it in my head so I am writing it down here to have your views. What works for you?? "TO BE LOVED" or "TO LOVE"? Please be quick before the comments have no place to come. Thank you.

Sanjay, you should feel lucky about the second chance. Getting proposed to by a girl is extremely hard, as males usually take the lead for proposals. That girl must be really unique, as this is the first case I know. Of course, all males would want girls to propose for them, but dire circumstances make males budge out for female company. This relationship and what the future holds are two things you should worry about, and possibly plan ahead for. You can control some things that will affect you in the future, because you may pursue an education or investment to revive it later on. Enjoy the company and be proud of yourself as your situation is unique in nature. All girls will one day propose to males, hopefully! I love this story, as it has entertained me.

i think when u truly love someone u should'nt be worried about being loved back in return. true love is blind to conditions and criterias. And i personally think true love is always reciprocated. when u think u love someone who's not able to return the same feeling for u then u can be sure of the fact that what really felt for tht particular person was not love at all. what you thout to be love might be something stemmed out of a crush or a deep rooted caring related to certain aspect of the persons character or person. you will certaily find my words too light to consider their worth but u'll realise wht i mean when u actually meet your true soulmate..

Love (true love) is a two-way street. You can divide it by saying "to love or to be loved." It has to be "to love and be loved." I think your case, you probably didn't love the girl that you thought you loved. You were probably infatuated with her, or fascinated by her in some way. But if you loved (I mean really loved) her, you wouldn't have accepted the proposal of the other girl. Sure, love usually starts off with one person doing the loving until the other person starts to love back. But it's really love if the first person is persistent and persevering even if the second person doesn't love back immediately.

I think you are right. Maybe I was fascinated. That is what I thought when I accepted the other. It was not working so I just thought to move ahead.

I'm a sucker for love and i'm selfish and greedy too. I don't want to give my all but I want my partner to give me his all. I want to be loved and pampered. I want to be sheltered. Luckily I found the person who can just give me all the love that I wanted.

IHMO For me "to love" because" loving someone is the greatest feeling of all, eventhough he/she is not inlove with you, but the point is your' loving someone with all your heart and there's no regrets for that.

I think for me it is to love because I have always been loved I have never actually went after anyone to ask them for anything. I suppose i was lucky that way and I just figured that if I was going to find love I should not look for it so hard because if I do it would never come to me. My patience has paid off just recently and I am loved completely by someone who deserves the love I have for them.

For me, I choose the second. To love, is very beautiful word. When we love somebody, we see ourselves. When we're loved, we tend to obey ourselves. Loving is a reflection of our selves. It gives us strength and spirit in life. In return, of course we need love in return. But that will not reduce the love we give. Giving is better than taking, so does in love matter.

like me i never have love relation with women yet but i think if you love someone you suppose not expect that person feel the same about you..i have to accept the fact that she doesn't belong to me. i like to be love and to love someone rather then only me love them.

To love is like gambling it is either you will be loved by the person you love or not to be loved by the person. I rather prefer to be loved rather than to love because in the long run you'll learn to love the person who loves you that is for sure if she or he does not give up on you. Well at least you are sure you will not get hurt.

To love is to risk not being loved in return from the person you love. But to be loved gives you an assurance that you will not get hurt. But if you give the person a chance to love you. You will love him/her in return in the long run.

Truthfully it would be boring if i was just loved but if i love someone there would be some kind of challenge to it. If you feel like someone just loves you so deeply, of course you would get away with alot of things and get a lot of love and attention, but you start wanting to love and maybe that love might end up going to someone else. I don't think a couple loves eachother 50/50 its always one person loves the other more. But its better if the guy loves the girl more!

i think "to love". personally when i love someone i dont really care if that person is reciprocating the feelings im offering him, dont get me wrong not that i really dont care much about how he feels about me, but its better that he loves me a bit or it doesnt really matter who loves more.. furthermore i think icannot be with someone i dont love..
