LOVE no more....

I'm referring to romantic love here. Can I say I totally give up on love? If I promise I won't love again, can I really live to it? Though I'm still young (I guess) at 25, I've given my best shots at love, with no luck. Others say I've got the face, the brain, the heart, the spirit of a woman a man should love, but I don't get it, why do men find it easy to hurt me then? Why do they prefer hurting me than loving me? I don't think I've done things in my life that makes me worthy of all the pain that men have caused me. In vain, I did more than just my best.... worthless, useless... I might as well give it up, right? I guess it's much better to live with myself, alone and contented, having no worries of a man hurting me again... This is it, goodbye to love...

I think it is impossible to say goodbye to love.But maybe it is possible for there are women who live their lives without someone special.But this kind of love makes your life colorful.Being hurt is part of getting into a relationship.Its a risk that you have to take when you get inlove.DOnt give up but learn from it.for sure it will make you a better person and a better partner in the future

All the hurt and disappointment didn't help me become a better person or a better partner. The more I get hurt, the more disillusion I've become, the more I do things that disappoint others, the more men tends to hate me and hurt me. I don't know. Maybe I have a problem, that no matter what kind of man presents himself to me for love, I would still be disappointed about love. Yup, I might as well stay alone, away from hurt, away from disappointemnts. I have to deal with myself first before dealing with someone else. By the way, thanks for your reply... God bless..

I know where you are coming from girl, I really do. But I'll tell you like a freind told me: "Saying you're scared to love again because you're worried you'll get hurt again is stupid. That's like saying you're scared to live your life because you know one day that you're going to die" It's as simple as that. I'm allmost 28 & I have dated some of the worst guys possible, but it's made me a stronger person & I'm not going to give up on love, but I'm not going to go chasing after it either. I'm going to enjoy being single, enjoy my freidns & family & when the time is right love will find me.

I just love your positive outlook in life! I just wish I have your positive disposition. Oh well, I'll be giving your message a lot of thought today, I guess you're right, I'll have to enjoy my life with my family and I'm sure I'll be doing that, but I think it's not right to be closing doors.... We'll see... Thanks!

Greetings Maple.. I understand what you're feeling right now, as we all do go that certain situation on giving away for love that easily. Don't lose hope, that's my suggestion. For love and being loved is one of the most precious gift that we had from above, maybe it's not the right time for now. But someday soon, it will come to you, with you not knowing it. Don't expect too much from it, because it will only disappoint you. You're still young, yes. So don't treat your past as if it is the present and your future, your time will come and I'm sure that it'll be for the better. I know there's someone out there waiting for you, so don't lose hope!;)

Yes, I am a romantic fool, I always love happy ending, and who doesn't? I also love stories about finding love in some time, in some place that you least expect to. But then, I know myself, I can't be the character on those books. I think I'm what they call, "the worst case of a hopeless romantic"
