I am 25 years old and I have never been in love, only when I was a kid (once when I was 10 and once when I was 12 years old), and I don’t know why. I want to be with someone that I am in love with for at least once in my life. It is my biggest wish and I am so scared that it might never happen. I have only had relationships with boys were I was not in love with. If I will never be in love I will miss something essential in live. Why don’t I fall in love? I want to be in love so baddly, there is nothing I want more in my life.
I know myself enough to know I want love. I wang to commit to someone. Sure, part of it is because of my lonliness, but theres nothing wrong with thaf being just a part of it.
Sometimes you can take someone in full heartedly loving them with everything you have when they have nothing. But if you do that well enough they won’t need you as much and you’re responsibility you had to make sure they’re ok becomes obsessive and controlling. Remember you’re partnered won’t always need you to help them through their life when they feel they’ve grown let them take their own responsibilities don’t try and keep hold of them. When someone grows away let them go just as a parent shouldn’t keep there 23 year old son or daughter home.
I respected the other person's desire to be left alone and therefore could not obtain any knowledge about them. After I had realized that I could not care for them if I left them alone, I obtained as much knowledge about them as possible with the objective of caring for them but ended up not respecting their right to privacy. My experience was… I am just gonna up on love for the time being and go out for a walk and listen to the music I love.
To love is to commit to being a better person. I know this to be true. I used to not be good at communication. But because I loved I wanted to be better..for them and myself. It didn’t seem like they were committed to the same goal. I unfortunately lost them. It hurts. I am sad.
Patriarchy has set the goal of love between one man and one woman apart from love in a more general social context. There is a subtle difference between the love felt between two adults engaged in sexual activity but the components of that love beyond the intense sexual attraction are precisely the same mutual trust, respect and shared experiences we we engage in with family members, great friends, our most admired role models. The key to falling in love in a long term sense is the conscious management of our passions within the context of real world experience so that a balance is reached between what we have to compromise for the sake of love and for the sake of stable living conditions. This is best illustrated by the tormented love lives of those people exposed to extreme pressures upon their already unconventional life and love. Financial problems, narcotics, fame, work schedules, family/social disapproval, social chaos (war, famine, disease). These factors are potentially disruptive influences to all individuals in love. Those best equipped to deal with such factors, those able to retain a rational view of the broader requirements of love as an enriching and essential part of a full life experience, beyond the destabilising period during which the lover is blinded to all else by the obsession with the beloved, sensibly manage love within the context of life. That is not to say that love is to be a coldly analytical process but the mind full of love, crossing the street or operating dangerous machinery is doomed.
ive met someone nice, and i love hanging out with her, yet she has romantic feelings for me, while i dont. i do love her in every way and care for her, but nothing sparks up my heart like it did before.

Nobody wants love anymore. They want all the feel good, fun parts, without any of the hard parts, that make the feel good parts feel good.
