| Do you still believe in love or have you lost your faith?
Posted: 4/8/2005 11:45:37 PM | Lol!!! Yes the thread is a mess, but your take is interesting.... I believe in love but I don't know about love being 'forever' or being something that only monagamous people feel.... like someone said earlier, I still love every woman I have ever been with (although I remember some better than others unfortunately)...
It's funny how we all have sour grapes about love when we don't have it, and yet we become saccarin about it when we are deep in it... I guess it all depends on where you are in life!
By the way Skylar- how many broken hearts have YOU left in YOUR wake?    | |

Posted: 4/9/2005 12:41:52 PM | i still believe in love and some might say im a fool to dream of the fairytale romance and that it only exsists in the movies.
sometimes i start feeling that maybe im always gonna be lonely but then i snap myself out of it because there must be someone out there for me...and someday love might be there when i wake up to kiss me good morning...and i will feel like the luckiest girl in the world......someday. | |

Posted: 4/11/2005 11:51:28 AM | I've lost faith.
I don't do love anymore.
I rely on ME to make me happy. I like me. I can spend hours with me doing things I like. Visiting the Tate in London, movies, meals, cycling, walking etc all just with me.
If the Gods have designs to prove me wrong, well hey
But the lessons have been long and hard and I'm pretty contented with my lot  | |

Posted: 4/11/2005 12:02:51 PM | I beleive this; you can put 500 men and women in a room together and perhaps ten people will click enough to want to see each other again, the rest go home wondering why they didn't find Mr/Ms. Right. Love is a special and illusive creature (and I'm speaking of the kind that lasts a lifetime, not just a romp in the hay). I do believe there is someone out there for everyone, but it's a big world, and he just might be some miles from me, or just around the corner. Keeping my faith that once again I will find true love at times feels like a losing boxing match between men who play meatball hockey in resturants, and those who are determined to say your picture mislead them. But, in all honesty, very few people are compatable enough to find a lifetime together and its more like looking for a needle in a haystack and less common than finding a penny on the ground.
Personally, I'm leading my life by living it to the fullest at this very moment, as a single, well adjusted woman. When and if I find him, it will most likely come when I least expect it, not when I'm actively looking. I use POF more for the forums than in the hopes of finding someone here... I think a lot of us do. Perhaps someone will read my comments and think I'm worth knowing better and the romance of the century will fall right into my lap. In the meantime my mind, life, and hands are busy and life isn't passing me by in a lonely haze. | |

After that, it's all a bargain with yourself.
Better to do your own thing. | |

Posted: 4/12/2005 4:39:31 PM | Love is easy. It's being with someone while they act weird that is hard sometimes. The problem I see is people looking for love as a kind of magical cure all for their problems, from loneliness to regrets to their life falling short of their fantasies. Youngsters start out awash in hormones with few working brain cells, no experience and an urgent drive to create life amid comedy. Then after the years flog you to make you tough and wise, love's appeal changes from being about gyrations and offspring, to being about...what? There's the rub, or lack of it. I think so many people wear their hope for love like the tattered remains of the clothes they got marrioed in.
I believe in love now more than ever and I always have. It's probably the most basic and simplest of human passtimes. It happens naturally from being together. So, then what gets in the way? IDEAS! That's right, it is all about what the brain does to thwart the heart. Somehow, for many people, their brain has intervened in matters of the heart and taken over, where it doesn't belong and has no hope of succeeding. To find your heart again, shut off your thoughts. Ignore your ideas. Just be next to someone, and whether you love them or not you will at least sense who they are, which is a start. Awareness of that connection is what gets lost amid the words when the intellect is spouting nonesense.
For example, when you look back at whatever relationship you once had, at some day of it when all was right, and your heart was brimming with love, notice the feeling remains as it was. You sigh inside ever so gently. Your heart never stops loving. Then come the thoughts about what went bad. Your brain gets in on the memory and now it is all about how love sucks and so forth.
So it turns out that after all, there are actually three organs incoolved in love, not just two. Your brain is in there, too. And in your brain is the loss of faith, the doubt, the knowing better tahn to ever fall in love again.
Love is easy if you can only be mindless at the right moments. For some of us, that is all day long. | |
