I do not think you can give up on love. Are you really able to control it? They call it FALLING in love for a reason.

Now pushing away love or avoiding love at all costs is definitely something nobody should do.

So go by that???

You give up when you feel the time is right to move on. Love is not the be all to end all in life these days. More to life than that.

I think a person should never ever give up on love, but if you have tried over and over again to make everything possible work then--it's time to part and move on. A person should not completely stop loving.....or reflect bad experiences on others that you meet. If can learn to live, love and let go...then you can love again.

As a woman, I find with the 40s a single woman should realize, that her time is up. The only men interested in women in their fourties are very old (because to them we are young), and young men see us as desperate and just want to booty call us.

As a man, I think you have a lot more time. But don't make love a priority, find other interests, and maybe you meet somebody with the same interests. Love will find you when you least expect it:)

Such sadness.

Love comes when you least expect it.

But it’s a painting that never gets finished. A story that never ends until we leave this earthly plain. It’s a thing shared between two souls that once begun never can be destroyed. Sure we can fall in and out of love. We can give up from frustration, misunderstanding, and exhaustion of everyday concerns and personal frailties. We can turn selfish and confused and walk away from it.

But once you are in love it’s an experience that can't be tarnished. A journey to that place where all was conquered. It only takes commitment. It only takes passion. It only takes the strength of will and beliefs that two can face anything and come out as one. Many don’t see it. Many can’t enjoy the feast for the immediate need of the crumbs that fall from the table. We give up too soon. We fail from fatigue

Very sad.

We can love once, twice, as often as life permits.

If you give up on finding that one that ignites your very soul and could make you whole then you are turning your back to the connection you are intended to have. You could be standing next to that special someone. And by being discouraged, and beaten down and behind your walls of defense, let them pass you by.

The ones you speak of that can come and go with seemingly no attachments are the same as you. They’ve lost sight of what two people can mean to each other. They live for the moment or at the very most live for the temporary fix.

My advice, from experience, is to open up your mind and heart to be ready to accept that one love that will fall into your lap and be just as surprised as you are. Then hold on tight. Not out of being needy, but out of that pure drive that feeds your desires to love and be loved.

Yes, love can most definitely conquer all. But it has to be something you are willing to give all of your self to. Scary isn’t it? The trick is to balance it with the one you are with. Sometimes you are led into it and sometimes you have to lead.

you’ve a lot of loving to face. Smile, open the doors of your heart, and be ready.

Love is the most amazing thing, that I have ever experienced...I consider myself blessed to have experienced it...I will never give up...until I find it again. I hope you never give up on love...when you least expect it...there it will be...I want to share this poem with you...

May the love hidden deep inside your heart...
Find the love waiting in your dreams...
May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow...
Wipe away the pain you had in your yesterdays...

When you're dead. All you need is love, maaaan....

But sex can be a whole 'nother story.... I could see giving up on that... maybe about 40 years from now...

minako79,

how can you
open up your mind and heart to be ready to accept that one love that will fall into your lap and be just as surprised as you are

if you are being rejected over and over again?

Istn't it advisable to shut your heart down for your own protection, if after, as with me, being single for SIX years you have been rejected by any man you meet?


Smile, open the doors of your heart, and be ready
, just to get hurt again and get lied at? Or should you draw the line and just give up and join a knitting club? Works for me :)
