Do you still have faith in love?
Posted: 8/20/2008 1:13:23 PM
I just want to know: Why are you people that do not believe in love and are all negative and are careful not to get hurt again, on a dating site?

Is is that much fun for you to whine all over in forums, how he or she hurt you, and left you, and ripped your heart out, cut it in pieces, shredded it, and fed it to the pigeons?

I would encourage all you victims of bad relationships to do what I did for the last few years: Concentrate on your career or school, and don't even try to get into a relationship. Work on yourselves, instead of making another person miserable by making him/her pay for what somebody else has done to you.

I do want to fall in love again, and feel butterflies in my tummy. And I do have faith, that when the time is right, it will happen with the right person. And I will approach this with an open mind and open heart.

dego , i fully agree with you on this,,how and what will this teach our Children? Maybe this is part of the problem with the younger people now ,not a steady home life to base things on . My thing with finding true love (yes i believe in it)is how do you know when someone is telling you the truth anymore? I have had relationships where i gave it my all why he was lieing all alone. Love isnt my issue ,Trust is my issue!! If everyone one here is looking for trust ,Love ect then why are there so many of us on here!!! We have to unguard our Hearts and give it a chance before we will find the Love we are searching for.......good luck to all in finding it

Barely.

....But then again, you know what's said about having faith in something the size of a mustard seed, right ?



I'm 24, and would probably need a personal Dewey decimal system to aid in recording all the stupid stuff I've endured (notice the framework ?). I'm probably one of the better candidates to be bitter, running around screwing every woman that'll bend over for me, lying, decieving, manipulating. etc etc etc. Most women ask (rather venemously at that)


......"Well you have a penis, don't you ? What stops you from doing the same things all of these dogs out here do ?


My answer ?:




I love my father enough to become the man he could never be.
(epic foot-note: I understand how undesirable that makes me)

There are always going to be thousands, and DOZENS of thousands of women (from all walks of life) who don't like me. For Whatever reason. Pick one. My hair. my height. the fact that I speak in complete sentences. I use my brain.

Seriously. lol. pick one.


That's not going to change. All I can do, is focus on the fact that eventually, who I am (not what culture, or "the rules" dictates to you who I am) registers. Until then, I'll just keep being me.

Then again, I'm but one fish among millions. What do I know ?

well i for one still have faith in love......do i believe it conquers all? nah that in my opinion is called blind faith. But the reason i still have faith in love is beause i had when i was in my teens and its just ......me. Ill be damned if im going to let all the people who have hurt me .....win. Because if they have changed me into a cynical bitter old hag they have most certaintly won....Not gonna let that happen! So yes i love, love bring it on i still have faith!

I think when you lose someone to death that you truly love its different than being divorced.. you know what true love is.. i know im more skeptical of love after being divorced..the hurt lingers a lot longer.. i believe in lust lol..

i know im a little late responding but, i felt the need to speak, i cant speak on behalf of life experience, but my own personal knowledge...

love doesnt conquer anything, it wasnt meant to, rather it was meant to bring happiness to our dreadful lives, to open us up, giving us the ability to share our souls with another.

its nothing we should ever give up on, cause some day we will see, its the only thing we ever had to begin with, locking your heart and throwing away the key, can only last so long, theres a guy out there, whos always had that spare key, and will unlock it again for you some day.

but even if that never happens if you or anyone else for that matter never find a once in a lifetime love, giving up the search and never looking back, when its all over will feel even worse than any heartbreak ever has.

just my opinion, hope it helps some

Absolutely! I am totally in love with the world and people. I think it is all AMAZING! Every single day I find wonderful and interesting things and people to look at and talk to. Life itself is a miracle.

I am also completely in love with my bf and he is completely in love with me. Total trust, support, friendship, chemistry--we feel it all. As good as I have always tended to feel, I never thought it possible to feel this good--but here it is--I do. We are in our upper 50s now and have already lived a lot of life so never give up! It can happen at any time. Believe...

OP, I def feel your pain.. I know what it is like too.. but I think we must still have hope that not all are the same. You must be the change that you want to see, even if you must sacrifice companionship for now. It is better to wait for someone that is worth it than be with someone that makes you miserable or is just a completely selfish person or is just filling the space for what is actually right, etc, etc. Not all are the same..there IS still hope if you hold onto it..be positive.. do not let those men whom you really do not want to be with convince you that they are your only option! Maybe we are just limited by our proximity to where our true love is and have not found them yet.. do not give up or settle for less than what you know should be right..

Love, truth, goodness are not gone...sometimes just hard for us to see or believe.. it does not mean they don't exist..don't give up on your path for what is good.

I'm a romantic. I just say for every relationship that don't workout, it brings me one day closer to the person I'm ment to be with. I've been hurt, but I keep on trying. I've even wrote a poem once Called Love's Fool because that's what I feel like from time to time. But I can't imagine myself not having faith in love anymore.
I love being in love with love.

I know how tariessemor feels because i have had the same thing happen to me, he only lived 20 mins away but its that I had to travel to him most times and his friends are more important than me and then the ex wife is still involved in the relationship with him, its only recently that he has ended it with me and so far I'm nearly in tears every day, I guess I know how much love can hurt I feel so pathetic with this love crap..

While I do still have faith in love, I absolutely do not have faith that people will always choose love. Lots of folks find it easier to just embrace the problems and negativity and they lose sight of the love, vs. choosing to focus on the love. Those are the same folks that will cut and run, and go on to experience the same old stuff in their next relationships.

Love doesn't conquer everything, but it does make us more willing to try.
It's always a choice.

MSg 85,I am not in love and my life is far from dreadful. I believe in love for many reasons, one of my favorite loves is "unconditional love", which I know exists and I cross paths with it on a daily basis.

I DO. I think going through life without believing in love or experiencing love, is like going through life half empty. Even if your heart has bean broken, life goes on and after a while your heart will be o.k. I'd rather be in love with all my heart for one minute than to go through life without knowing what love is. Love is to me one of the greatest gifts that the good lord up above has giving us. So please dont you ever stop loving, because you will never no when the right man will come for you. Remember love is not perfect but it is and will always be a beautiful thing a wonderful feeling. So you keep believing in love and don't let any one take that feeling from you... LOVE=EVERYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE poit 123 you only live once so live life to the fullest even if sometime life hurts at THE END OF THE RIDE IT'S ALL WORTH THE BUMPS AND BRUCES O.K...

Blind faith is a waste of time, which is what faith in love is. I know that investing too heavily into something is a huge gamble, it could be destroyed at any moment, like faith in love. Love is not strong enough to overcome anything, love is weak and very fragile. I learned that faith is also weak and can be broken. I used to have faith, faith in humanity, faith in love..But then I got wise from life's harsh lessons and my faith was broken. I now believe that faith in anything but yourself is pointless. Why believe so strongly in something you have no control over? Chaos is the only true thing in life, nothing is certain but uncertainty. I have faith in myself because I control me, nothing else.

I'm only 24, but I've experienced quite a lot in my years. Enough to harden my skin and blanket my heart with apathy. I've not once had a good relationship, apparently the only women who will go out with me are not the kinds I should be going out with..But I'm a desperate guy looking for love, my judgment is clouded and I make stupid decisions. But, instead of babbling on about me, I will just say that the best thing to do is what someone else had said earlier; work on your work, your school and most of all YOURSELF. In the end, all that matters is you and only you, so make sure you have a solid grasp on who you are, what you want and how you're going to get it. To obtain what you want you must pursue it, not wait for some magical force to hand you something. There is no such thing as "when the time is right it'll happen", YOU decide when that time is right and YOU get what YOU want by seizing life and going for your goals. Simple as that.

Fortune favors the bold,
~Luke

Well, it seems that you're ready to give up.
But i think its darkest before dawn. When the going gets rough, its smooth sailing after if youre willing to stay the course.

If your close friends believes in you, and you hold their opinion in high regards, then you need not worry.

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling down. I am no stranger to those feelings myself. I will spare you the long, drawn out, depressing details of my divorce and fight with depression, but I will tell you that when your heart is broken...it is hard to bounce back. I have been where you are describing and thought I would never get married again. I gave up altogether at one time, but have since rethought that and decided that if I have not had those feelings of true love, the same ones you have described, then I have never experienced love.

After what I have been though, it is a miracle that I can get back out and trust again, but I want you to know that if you work on being happy with who you are and concentrate on your life, things will fall into place. I am a firm believer in that. There are always days where I waiver between those depressed feelings of hopelessness and sadness for what I want, but those are slowly becoming far and few in between.

Hang in there, I am sure your prince is still out there...someone once told me that you have to kiss a lot of toads before he comes along...try to hold out hope, you are so young and pretty, I know that the right person will be along and you will suddenly know what true love feels like. :)
