YesWho: I am looking for love again. I feel more happy and alive when I was in love.
I feel happier and alive not being in love. I always felt so suffocated, controled, obligated, and generally frustrated when I was in love. I like my freedom/independence and love takes away from that for me. When I think back on all my relationships; I truly was unhappy most of the time and was happiest when the relationship ended. However; I have always learned something from each relationship so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

And truly, it is an individual and personal choice. I have always found that I was able to maintain my independence, freedom, and happiness when in love for I have this tendency to fall in love with someone I consider a friend. And my biggest problem is that the few times I have REALLY fallen in love in my life - I had no say in the matter,...lol,..But in the end, you really have to do what makes you feel happy!

Yes, agreed we have to do what makes us happy but it has always been easier for a man to maintain his independence and freedom than a woman.
Personally i have never been in love.However,i would love to find a woman who would love me the same way as i would love her. When i see people who are obviously in love,i do feel i am missing out. What i wont do is force it,just so i am not on my own.

I would love to be in loved and loved by a man the way I would love him! I believe I am much happier when I feel that I am loved and appreciated and wanted and needed! I dislike the lonely feeling I have all the time because I have no one special in my life - that wonderful blissful feeling that you mean something to a man!
I really think I have never fully been in love before and now I want to find him and show him how much I have to give. When I read from others who are in love or see happy couples, I feel that I really am missing out on something fabulous and I want to find that!
In hindsight, I am sure we would love to say we would prefer not to go through the pain of losing love. However, each of us will lose someone we love in life... Even if it's not a partner. I would hate to miss those opportunities simply because I was too scared to explore the emotion. We all make mistakes about who we trust, it's how we deal with those mistakes and learn from them that is a testament to the individual.

ah definitely better to have loved even though it tears you apart when it doesnt work lol but it is a feeling everyone has to feel at some point cos ur missing out if you havent :). id be more careful in future but if the right woman came along ye i could love again
Ur_Knight: sounds like you and me should drag the moose into town for a beer, buddy.
Same here... nothing like being in love to make you feel young. Nothing like being older and wiser, to make it hurt a little less when you lose it.
Yup, will have to go for that beer someday. And yes,...being in love is soooo worth the possible risk of being hurt (and really, I never love with the expectation that it is all going to come crashing down), but then again,...that is just my opinion and the way I live my own life,....to each their own!

Very well said actually. I do hope you find the love that you deserve and wish you all the happiness in the world.

Okay, that sounded sort of weird,...what I meant to say was that I consider love to be so very worth pursuing, even if the possibility that I could get hurt exists.
Sort of like a breakaway in hockey where you can win the game,....the feeling you get by scoring is so worth it, despite the risk of getting completely creamed and hospitalized by that huge defenceman you don't see coming!
