Better to have love and lost, or never have loved?


This is a famous quote. Its taken as the TRUTH by most
I dont necessarily agree. Theres another quote that
comes to mind..."ignorance is bliss."

Id be very interested to see what you guys have to say on this subject. Please no man bad or woman bad
stuff..

I can't read all the comments since I'm not connected to people on this place. But isn't the quote suppose to be "It's better to have loved and lost, rather then to have never loved at all"?

I feel that life is full of experiences which define who we are and shape our lives. That is the meaning of the quote to me. If i never knew what it was like to drink Pepsi, I would never know what I was missing out on. But after trying pepsi, I have the experience to say if I really like it, loath it, miss it, crave it, or whatever...

I so agree with your comment!!

Love is too overated!! Especially with society's influences!!

As far as I'm concerned Love Allah (SWT), the Prophet (PBUH), Your Family and Yourself!!

I think a lot of people don't know what true love is, especially nowadays. But I do believe it enriches a person, regardless of if they end up losing their "love" or not. And anytime an individual can aspire to be more than they are, it's worth the effort.

I don't really agree with that statement!! I may have done before, but if you think it about it...........the experience of love may leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Whereas if you don't know how it feels initially then your never going to feel like you've lost anything.

I know most people become really bittered after a shitty relationship .But why cant we just learn to let go and move on .Everything is an experience in life .
Plus the say "You dont feel human till your heart has been broken " .Just learn from your mistakes. Its not such a big issue .
So stop being bitter and go with the flow .Life is too short .Enjoy it while it lasts.

That's crap..it's been made to make losers in love feel good.

Remember..love is chemically no different than consuming large amounts of chocolate :)

It is ture!

From the aspect oflove yes! Ignorance is bliss, just had an experience that taught me that "when someone dont know (what happened and U R feeling SHAME)" then they (ur partner) "love u", once they know 'they just become hesitate to love u !" .. .It then become the battle in between the "Priority or Options"

Take Care,

If you love and then lose, you can become jaded or bitter, and it can have a negative impact the next time that you attempt to get involved with someone romantically. That has been my observation.

the key is living and breathing. as long as you have that you have a chance. the brightside is you arent in a marriage that is a disaster....

just think of a bad first date. you cant wait for the night to end. you feel like you are at the dentist...instead of being out for fun.

well ive known a few marriages where the entire relationship is like a bad first date that keeps repeating itself over and over and over again like groundhog day.

just be sooo happy that you wont let that happen to you

LOL!!!!!! You?re so funny! I?m a size 7... ;) I think if a guy wants to watch his sports, and be with his buddies than by all means! After all it's healthy to have separate lives from each other! It keeps things interesting and exciting.

Why can't I find a guy? I've been hurt in the past and well I want to be with someone who gets me, understands who I am and what I stand for, and is willing to support me like a best friend. Middle Eastern guys want to control their other half. They want her to be at their beck and call, and I refuse to have that sort of relationship. However, I can't find myself ending up with anyone from a different culture or religion as I, so from all the guys that I know, I guess you can say that I am a living and breathing catch 22.

okay..let me turn the tables on you...you are an attractive single, successful woman, claim to be of
unstuckup status.. (not saying your arent but i dont know you) I'd think it would be easy for you!

so what is it that YOU find so hard to find in a guy?.

i know you say in your profile you want it all, and you should get it all, but those guys are outhere..i know them and ive seen them.

hmmm. my ideal girl would...this is gonna make me sound sooo shallow..but you asked for IDEAL...she would be relatively fair skinned (which i dont think im being hypocritical about wanting as im freakin a white boy) thin...cares enough about herself to work out..25-30 years of age..never married. highly educated.

those are demographics..thats actually not too hard to find....now the hard part.

funny, not stuck up...smart...self assured not needing constant reassurance that i care about her....able to make fun of herself....understands when i wanna do my own thing...has parents that arent psycho.....born and raised in the US yet retain a some cultural background to her origins (i dont really care about the specific culture as long as she is muslim)

and lastly..she has to like me too...ok....im gonna be single forever....thanks W you helped me realize im hopeless :*

True, and i am trying not to do that... but here what you have me wondering... you say that not many gurls can handle you but the ones that can aren't your type... what do you mean by that? what is your type of gurl? and i guess this question can go for all who read this...

In an ideal world what would be your ideal mate? what would she look like, and be like? Or are you too afraid to answer because you fear jinxing yourself??

i dont know W. im not sure if im the kind of person
that can find a good match. im way too picky and
i really do enjoy my time alone. not many girls out
there can handle that. and those that can are usually
not my type.

the thing that should keep us going is that WE ONLY
HAVE TO FIND ONE PERSON.... i do believe there is someone out there for us. but its not ONE person. there are hundreds of people out there that would be right for you and you could make a life with. based on reading your messages though, i suspect you have recently been through a bad situation ..dont let that taint your perspective.

Wow! that is so true, and i think i'm one of those caught up in the search itself. I don't know maybe i'm a lost cause, or things are working out this way for a reason. I am however, going to take your advice and try to be more open to things and seeing what happens. You are going to make one gurl very lucky one day :)
