| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/7/2005 7:30:26 PM | I think that there's a lot of different kinds of love. Do I beleive I'll ever have that naive love that I had when I first got married, and beleive that everything would always be good, and that we'd always have each other, ever again? No. Once you lose your illusions, they're gone forever. But I do beleive that some day, God willing, I'll find a love that'll be everything I want - best friend, parenting partner, absolute demon in the sack, financial partner... all of that. I think where a lot of us go wrong is looking for all of this stuff at the same time, expecting it all to come at once. Love is found in moments, and builds, all the time builds. I guess I'm hoping... but lately, not expecting. =)

| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/7/2005 9:48:21 PM | | I started this thread because I wanted to know just how many people have felt this way and it is encouraging to see that it doesn't always last. I started seeing someone recently that is still standing on the edge of losing all faith. He told me today that it isn't that he doesn't trust people he doesn't trust love. I know how he feels and I also know how often I ran from the chance of love because of it. Maybe because I do know and can recognize the signs for what they are I can help him but do I risk my heart when there is every chance he will do what I did and push me away from the fear. I think what I am going to do is but my feelings to the side right now and just be a friend to him and help him deal with the feelings he is having. Who knows what will come of it. Thank you all for your input, it has helped a lot. | |

Love hurts, love scars, Love wounds, and marks, Any heart, not tough, Or strong, enough To take a lot of pain, Take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud Holds a lot of rain Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I’m young, I know, But even so I know a thing, or two I learned, from you I really learned a lot, Really learned a lot Love is like a flame It burns you when it’s hot Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness Blissfulness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess They’re not foolin’ me
I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts Ooh,ooh love hurts
I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts Ooh ooh love hurts Ooh ooh... | |

| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/8/2005 12:33:39 AM | HEY WILDNSHY;
I JUST WANT TO MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT WILL HELP. TAKE A MOMENT AND LOOK BACK AT THESE RELATIONSHIPS AND SEARCH FOR A PATTERN NOT IN THE OUTCOMING, BUT IN THEIR PERSONA, WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY WANT FROM YOU AND HOW YOU ARE GOING ABOUT MAKING SURE THEY ARE SERIOUS OVER WHAT THEY SAY, THEN, IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO AVOID THESE SAME MEN, AND FINALLY FIND YOU'R PRINCE. I AM ALMOST 100% SURE THAT IF YOU COMPARE THEM ALL, YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKING. SOMETIMES, THOUGH OUR HEARTS ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE, WE BECOME OVERWHELMED AND PASS BY THE ESSENTIALS. I STILL BELIEVE IN LOVE, IM CLEAR ABOUT WHAT I WANT, AND I STAND MY GROUND BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I RATHER GROW OLD AND ALONE THEN LIVE MY LIFE WITH THE WRONG PERSON AND FEEL LIKE SHOKING HIM EVERYDAY, LOL THE ANSWERE IS NOT IN LOOSING HOPE, ITS IN LOOKING AT WHATS BEEN CHOSEN OR WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LIKE OR BEEN ACTING IN THE PAST. IM SURE HE IS OUT THERE, JUST THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN PRE-OCCUPIED AND NOT AVAILABLE WHILE WITH THE WRONG MAN OR JUST NOT READY. I WISH YOU WELLNESS AND LOVE AND BALANCE TO YOU'R LIFE AND FULLFILLMENT IN ALL WAYS. | |

| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/8/2005 3:51:44 AM | Please don't ever give up on love.... I did for such a long time. I married at 19..no idea why at this point but i did. Spent 25 years in a relationship that went no where from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I have 3 beautiful sons out of it but that's pretty much all I got. There was no intimacy, no emotions, etc. Just want to share that all that has changed for me just in the last 2 weeks...I met my Baby , on this site as a matter of fact. Last night he told me that he was falling in love with me. I wanted to tell him that from the first night we met but I was afraid I'd scare him off if I did. I've been living and breathing this guy from the first time he smiled at me...I just can't explain it...turns out the feeling was mutual. I am the happiest woman in the world right now...never believed it would ever happen to me but it did....fate? Who really knows.. I am so looking forward to getting up every day now...just to read his emails, get his phone calls and most of all seeing him again, I'm just busting.... And I wish the same for you....I"m now experiencing 'real' love for the first time in my life so I know it can happen. So please don't give up. If it can happen to someone like me, it can happen to anyone.... | |

| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/8/2005 5:13:58 AM | welll for those of you who can relate ....is it worth keepin the faith ??? I have thought back over the guys I have been with and on one hand I can't blame them for running scared. I had alot goin on and it's real hard watching a child fight a losing battle especially over 7 yrs. But if that was the case what I don't understand is why spew the ear candy and promises when they probably already know they will cut n run. I find it very hard to find one ....just one.....that will accept me for who I am. Didn't realize I was so "different". They all wanted me to conform to what they wanted me to be. Sooo not me .....I don't do well with conforming, is that a bad thing, ya think? Ahhhh think I will be taking a big break from the dating scene ....need to get the braincells rerouted......they seem to have shortcircuited from all the B.S I have been fed ....so you'll be finding me on the rock wall in St. Cats, gettin my head together and keepin my feet off the ground thanx for the feedback was interesting to say the least Wild | |

| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith? Posted: 4/8/2005 6:35:05 PM | | Love only exist between monogamous people.Love is the strongest emotion that we can have.You may love someone,meet someone else and love them and then youd no longer have the same love for the other.People that have sex with numbers of people for one time or more and show no emotion are in my mind incapable of grasping the concept dew to various factors in their lives that hold them back.Love only exists in the realm of emotions which is a whole bunch of switches that turn off and on dew to stimuli in your everyday life.This is the very basic concept.I could go into much more detail but youd have to futher your education first to understand me. | |
