romantice nonesense because there's still part of you wanting that person to love you back! i used to love someone who doesnt love me back. I know its kinda none sense but i really like her. I still remember how i hoped that someday she looks at me and say i love you too, it never happened.

when you are in a loving relationship, it is just natural to expect something in return from your partner. it's natural for us to feel that way. when you love someone, you expect that person you love to love you in return. love is a two way thing.

Well i dont think it is non sense....
there are two things ion this world a heart and a brain..If u love someone from heart its true love and if the love is true,my word u will never expect anything in return u will just give and keep giving.
But if u start thinking from ur brain i dont think u can ever fall in love or even if u fall in love ur brain will always keep looking for answers.....
So if u wanna fall in love never involve ur brain into thinking "whats the sense" and if u cant stop doing that its better u dont fall into love

I don't think it's possible. Expecting something does not mean it's selfish, it just means you love yourself too. And loving yourself is key to being able to love others, as well. If you're one insecure person, it's difficult to love someone because you are always paranoid or clingy. I don't even think that's love, I think it's a need to feel secure. What you did to that other person is make him/her your security blanket, which is akin to setting yourself up for disappointment.

It's possible. However, with the world today, you almost have to expect something in return because a lot of people will take advantage of the fact they can have what you provide and not have to do anything in return.

Yes it is possible.Everyone has this example in their life. It is true love, A mother loves her child without expecting only.How can u say that it is a non sense.Are u talking only about man -woman love.Then it differs from person to person. If u love expecting love is ok but if u love expecting any other thing, then it is not love.

Loving is a reward of itself. Not more soggy mouthwash, but something with no equivalent.
I'd look at it the other way round. If you love someone, what do you want, food stamps? I've never understood why adults, in particular seem so skeptical of one of the few relationships that's actually worth having.
