Opposite love - statue of love

January 26, 2007 12:28pm CST
I figured something weird about me, and i don't know either it was an ego or something was wrong with me. I about to make a relationship with somebody i admired for a long time. The thing is i canot find anything inside of her that similar to me like interest, hobbies and so on. We were opposite for natural. Can my relationship will be success?

I am not sure what you are asking here. All I know is you can't MAKE someone love you, and you shouldn't want to. Love is only love if it is given freely.

you know, i really love her so much (my side) and actually i want her to feel the same as i am. i just keep thinking if i can do something that can make her fall in love with me. it is truth right that we have to seeking the love, here i don't think it will come freely, i really don't get it :(

I agree your post is confusing, you can not force anyone to love you aor you can not love out of just wanting to love. A love is not love when faced by reasoning. The very fact that you asked this quesion, shows you are infatuated with the other person and its just a crush not love. You have doubts about her so I think better seek somneone with whom your heart will be sure.

The two questions you asked are a little different. Even if you are complete opposites that doesn't mean that your relationship wouldn't work. Opposites attract you know. But that doesn't mean it will necessarily be a success. Does she have feelings for you? Because if she doesn't have feelings for you and you're asking if you can make her love you then the answer is no. Nobody can make someone fall in love with them, it has to come naturally. Besides, you want someone who will love you for you. You shouldn't have to change anything about yourself.

It's always been said tht opposites attract. However, you can never make someone love you. If they don't love you or vice versa, there really isn't anything you can do. However, if you both love each other, then you two can make just about everything work. Good Luck!

you said you love her and you feel it even if your dont have similarities. I guess thats pretty normal. Sometimes the thing we are specifically looking for someone doesnt really matters if you feel the love to her. You will accept everything about her. So i think you relationship will be success. When you love someone with not similar hobbies and interest eventually because of your love to her you will learn to accept and adopt her hobbies and interest and that is also vice versa.

yes i love her. i just thinking about that too, but when we start discussion for the example about cloth, usually it will end with arguing. It's ok for me to accept the opinion of her for several time. I don't know just for how long again to be like this.

Some people say that oppisites attract! i don't know if i believe this, i dated someone whom i had nearly nothing in common with for a long time. i tried and tried to make it work, but in the end we just had to go our seperate ways, but i did learn alot about life and myself from this man. so i am glad in some respects that i spent the time i did with him. So Give it a shot! if it doesn't work out you could always just remain friends with the person as long as you continue to be honest and open with them. Just take it slow and no one will be hurt.

Yeah, just like you said if hide it, then our relationship will still remain as a friend, but the one who suffer most, i think it was me right. I'll find out something new here, is it called gentle to hide our feelings?

There is nothing weird about you, you just have to learn to love yourself then others will follow. If you do not like yourself, referred to the "something weird" that is the feeling you will be subconsciously giving to people. Stand back and enjoy your friendship with the person you admired but realise that when you admired this person you built a picture of this person and what they were like based on what you would have liked them to be like. In reality they are themselves and therefore they do not fit this neat picture you had made for yourself. There is nothing wrong or weird here. You have learned that you need to learn who the real person is, not build up pictures of what they are like and expect them to be as you imagine. So off you go and enjoy lots of new friendships and find people who do share your interests, naturally and easily, and take your time and have fun while you learn which people you are in tune with. I hope that helps.

i read your discussion and i am sorry for you!but dont get upset.you can!here is some tips to be loved! i found it really working! 1). Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2). Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. 3). Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. 4).! When you say, "I love you," mean it. 5). When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. 6). Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 7). Believe in love at first! sight. 8). Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. 9). Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. 10).. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. 11). Don't judge people by their relatives. 12). Talk slowly but think quickly. 13). When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?" 14). Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 15). Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. 16). When you lose, don't lose the lesson 17). Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions. 18). Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 19). When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 20). Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. 21). Spend some time alone.! hope this tips will help you as helped many of my friends.dont think i am the inventor.i read this in a magazine! cheerup my friend

dude you should have to learn to love your partner even though you and your partner have a different interest in life. Why don't you try accept her interest or hobbies? That's the part of relationship, especially if you & your partner are in the 1st stage. Remember if you love her then you have to accept what ever she is.

well if she has an different or opposite behaviour then it will be very much positive in ma way. i think this should be the way because you will fulfill her need and she will do the same. And the question how you make her love you is so simple . just care about her as much as you can and one day when you were busy with other thing and you are not able to talk to her and then that day she will miss you and you will be asked that where were you? i have waited whole day long for you. why you didnt came? and all then think positive that will be the day she will be start loving you and she will then come to know that how much you are important to her. Belive me and try this and i am sure this will work but just take care of her like hell in every things. i hope you got me .. Regards.

Of course, someone can love you. There is always somebody who is meant to become your partner in life. It might take you sometime to locate the person. Patience is needed here. What you find to be weird in you might be interesting for somebody. If you have a relationship now, just observe. If you go along well together, good. You do not have to share the same interests and other things. You may be having argument from time to time, but, you always agree at the end. If you are able to understand each other, can take each other's presence 24/7, miss each other if one is gone for sometime, her being not similar to you in many ways is acceptable, and you feel you deeply love her, then, most probably you will see your relationship through.

No you can't, and you wouldn't want the relationship if you could. If someone doesn't love you of their own will, what would it really mean anyway? One of the most wonderful things about Love is that it comes without being forced, it's magical and mysterious. If you care about someone, and they don't love you, you should move on and wait for the right someone to come along. If you don't have similar interests, why are you wanting to pursue her anyway? Are you in love with her, or something about her? Possibly her appearance?

I think that it can be a successful relationship but that it might take a lot of work. I do think that opposites attract but that it might help if you both try to take an interest in each others hobbies and interests. Maybe you should both try each others hobbies and new hobbies and you might surprise yourselves by liking some of the same things. I hopeit works out for you.

opposite attracts is an old cliche. but then it holds true up to this day. it doesn't matter if you don't find any interest in you or hobbies that you both want to do. what is important is the heart that you feel for each other. it's the magic that comes your way the moment you saw each other.

love is quite a strange thing. the most unlikely of couples could become lovers and people would be wondering how it happened. compatibility may be important, but it is important to follw ones heart in choosing a lover. try feeling your heart when you wnat to go into a relationship with someone. it could help...
