Better to have loved and have lost...
Even before entering into a relationship, one person is always attracted to the other more than the other is attracted to him/her. This may be purely a matter of chemistry. Both persons may enter into and develop the relationship, being fully aware of this. The one who is more strongly attracted may end up putting more effort into the relationship in the hope that this may cause the other person to become more attracted to him/her. However, things may not necessarily work out that way, at least in the short term; there is a better chance of this taking place in the long term. Ultimately, one may have to make a decision with regard to committing or not committing oneself to the relationship.If things work out well and both parties are happy and remain happy in the relationship, that is great.
However, if things do not work out that way,then what?
Most likely, there are several persons here at CS who may have experienced such a situation, and some who may be experiencing such a situation at present.
Perhaps the one whose love was not reciprocated in the relationship, leading to a case of unrequited love, may console himself/herself with the saying:
“It is better to have loved and have lost, than to never to have loved at all”.
What do you think?
