Will you be able to love someone without expecting anything in return?

Honestly I think it can be hard. When we love someone we hope the person loves us back in return too. That is something we hope we have. A love that is reciprocated. The love between a parent and a child is likely to be unconditional. If the child loves the parent back the same way or even more, it is a huge bonus. Sometimes we love someone but we don't express it enough which is usually the case somehow.

Ya.. i think you got my point.. it really is not easy to love someone unconditionally.. like for eg. sometimes you might really love somebody very much, but that person might not feel the same, so letting the other person go and look for their happiness is actually a way of loving them =)

yep. true. if the someone doesnt love me in return and he likes someone else and the someone likes him back and they fall in love and they are so right for one another i would feel very happy for him. u know, side track a little. i never wanted to know my crushes too well. i wanna maintain that picture of perfection in my head. when one knows a person too well all the flaws show and you find he isnt that interesting and it spoils the whole crush thing!

I think this is one of the hardest things to do in life. It is not easy to love and not expect anything in return. Somehow, when we love someone, we expect them to love us in return because it hurts to know that they can't/don't. All of us need to be loved. It is the most special gift we can receive from someone. Loving unconditionally could be harder when the other person rather give you pain than love. If they abuse you. Maybe I can love unconditionally someday if I am less selfish. I just cannot tell now.

In all reality I don't think it's humanly possible. It's a nice idea though. We all expect something if we are honest with ourselves, even if it's a simple "thank you" only. If I say "I love you" I want to hear "I love you too" back. When I love my son, I expect him to love me too. If he doesn't then I'll still love him and that might be considered unconditional love, but will my love be as full if he returned my love to me? I don't think so.

You can love someone unconditionally certainly but love needs to be nurtured, so if you don't get love and affection in return, then I think it would be extremely difficult. Certainly is possible to love someone unconditionally without the expectation of anything material in return. However on an emotional level, you will need some affection to keep that love alive. :)
