Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved?

It's funny you mention that as I know that people who have seen their parent's relationship fail are far more cynical about love and quite understandably. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out but your story doesn't have to end the same way, and in any case it'll be fun trying :)

plus a relationship for me is unviable at the moment.

Why?

Well it didn't fail, its just a tonne of mistakes have been made which I won't repeat. It's just more grief than its worth and none it matters. Some people just aren't cut out for that stuff (i.e. me).

I'd genuinely take money over that kind of thing any day.

Why?

Illness, having a partner is a luxury.

Love is just a word used by men to access the back door & a word women use to get your bank details.

Indeed. I am currently single with 2 female friends 'with benefits'.

I am seeing one tonight. She is cooking me dinner, we shall share a bottle of two of good red wine, then I will shag her rotten all night.

I will get breakfast in the morning then go on my merry way till next time (probably in a couple of weeks).

Next week I shall see the other one.

Works perfectly for me. No interest in the rubbish that comes with a 'proper' gf. :cool:


*edit*

Sorry I got sidetracked!

The question:

Yes I have been in love twice. Properly and I did like it. But as the weight of the world has bore down on me as I have got older, I am not sure if it will happen again.......
 
Yes definately, but its a double edged sword.

From immence awesomeness to epic fail in an instance.

I got a taste of both with the same person, best and worst experience of my life in many ways, but I grew up massively during it and It made me a better person for it.

I'm 25 now and still dont think I have ever been properly in love. A few of my mates have been in relationships for a few years then split up for whatever reason and it destroys them. Some have girlfriends and seem to dissapear off the scene for months, sometimes years

Both these things I really dont want to happen to me.

So, is it worth it?

Felt the same until I met my girlfriend a year and a half ago. Wasn't looking but it hit like a lightning bolt - was mid thirties and had had a few long term relationships in the past but this is different. Still smitten by her, but I think main difference this time is how good a friend she is to me as well. Still do not want kids though

definatley worth it! me and my ex-girlfriend broke up 2nd January this year and we where together for 11 months, which isnt a great length of time but we were 100% in love and all that jazz, broke up for whatever reason. But it was worth it and id do it all over again! got to do and experience so much.

I’m not being funny here but '100% in love and all that jazz' how could you have being if you split up? I’m not having a go just curious :)

I am in 'love' and it is a great feeling hope it lasts!!!!
