Give it a year or 2 and you'll be fine... no wait, scratch that, if you were truly in love with her, you'll never be "fine", you'll just find it that little bit easier to deal with.

Neil Gaiman said:
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

The man's a genius. Have you read his Sandman and Lucifer graphic novels? Definitely an example of why comics aren't just for kids.

My opinion on love? well... I guess it's not really "my" opinion, but these lyrics pretty much sum it up:

Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down said:
You know when you feel it
You know when it hits you
There's no mistaking when you fall
You don't anticipate it
You can't calculate it
It just comes crashing through your walls

You lose all sense of reason
You have no sense of danger
It's like you're living in a dream.
It lets you float through crowds and
Makes you smile at strangers
It's just the greatest state of being

Yay... a post full of quotes XD
 
It's just like a magic penny
Hold it tight & you won't have any
Lend it, spend it & you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor, for

Love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away
You end up having more

My misanthrophy and cynicism are one in the same Moses99p.

They're an inevitable consequence of the experiences life has thrown at me. Frankly, I think such a perspective is inevitable. Some are lucky and avoiding it, whilst others are still balancing on a knife's edge. I'm not the only one who has this outlook. Indeed, where has this perspective of mine influenced my regard for 'love' or altered what 'love' should/could be in what I've said?

We can appreciate love to its highest regard, but why do we have to take it out of all proportion to the point we forget who we are? I don't want to become love and I don't want escape into it; I don't see the point. I want to be myself, enjoying love for what it is.

Does riding a rollercoaster suddenly lose its fun or appeal just because you know it runs on electricity? The only thing we should be watching out for is the ride breaking down, or queue-pushers. That, and possibly feeling a little sick afterwards.

Some people seriously need to stop feeling sorry for themselves when "bad things have happened to me" and just get over it.

You're giving yourself the excuses you need to take the outlook on life you want to take.
 
OP, I think love is a great thing, a special thing, the only thing. However, when you're in love with a beautiful woman, it's hard. When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you know it's hard.

Everybody wants her, everybody loves her, everybody wants to take your baby home.

So be careful, ok? Particularly if your woman is also a, uh, baby.
 
Love is wonderful if you and your partner are both in it together. Unrequited love is awful and to have someone fall out of love with you when you still love them is possibly the most emotionally painful thing ever.
 
Unrequited love....I agree with you Minxy, Ive been struggleing for the past 6 months, she fell out of love and I had every emotion/feeling going for her, still do to some extent, it makes you feel vulnerable, makes you feel like you dont want to spend another day living the life youre living, you go to bed thinking of it, knowing tomorrow will be the same day as today, you cant eat, you cant sleep, and its a vicious circle, dominates every other feeling in your body, but when you find someone who loves you, just as much and is as excited to see and be with you just as much as you are, Love is wonderful.
 
I'm 33 and Ive been married for 5 years now, and I love my wife completly, 2 months ago we just have our first child, a baby boy and we have never been happier.

Ive done my fare share of sleeping around when I was younger but being in a serious relationship, even with all the stresses that go with it has made me happier than I can remember.

Anyone here believe in "love at first sight". Always a little miffed by people who claim this.

Not really, I think you can be strongly attracted to someone and that may become love without you noticing the transition but I don't think you can honestly love someone without getting to know them, anything else is infatuation or lust. I'd say love was an informed acceptance of another person so you know their foibles and pecadillos and yet still want them and to be with them which is not something you can get on first glance.

Although having said that I have had someone tell me that they loved me within a few hours of meeting me, this was not the turn-on that you might expect.

Also she seems to have a weird black people fetish, which doesn't exactly help, as they have huge willies.

A lot of people have mentioned in the thread that love is great when you're in it, and crap when you're not, but I'm not in love and I find it to be such a beautiful concept

I don't think they're so much saying that love itself is crap when you're not in it, more the way it makes you feel!

Yeah, I suppose. It's making me feel like I want it. I'm yearning for some quality love.

No offence but you're 15, you have years of having your heart broken ahead of you, and believe me the first time it happens, it hurts like hell, and you'll wish you never asked for it. :D

Why do that then?

I don't understand girls (mainly) who claim to have found the perfect guy, love of their life, soulmate, barely a month after having first met. It baffles me.

I'd agree with this, enjoy your innocence while you have it! I'd also point out that it's not just the first time. No matter how many times it happens it doesn't get any easier! :p
