How Many Of Us Are looking for love?

As the title states, How many of us have not “found” love? Or found it, lost it, and are trying to reclaim it?

southern_comfort , why would you hang your head in disgust? It is hardly something to be ashamed of! Especially not on here!

Ok, So heres what I can’t figure out.

I mean theres obviously going to be alot of posts , But how come none of us can find “love”?

Is it we aren’t looking hard enough? Not trying hard enough? I can’t figure it out, When I was younger my parents would tell me “Love will find you, Even if you are looking for it, Itll always find you first”

And yet Love has yet to find me…

People have a sense of love being something they are entitled to and something which happens to everyone. But sadly it’s not the case. It’s a scary thought, but some people never find love. You can’t force someone to love you, and there’s a chance you won’t get to meet the one special person who will.

I still keep looking though…… :o)

Okay; I did find love once… for about 20 minutes.

And she had the audacity to charge me for the full half hour! Last $100 she ever saw from me….

See i was in love once, and then hurt really badly. I’m not ready for love again, but if it came along i would not be too upset about it, just scared to let myself be that vulnerable again.

That would be in the “How many of us are so disenchanted with our life that we avoid looking for love like the plague” post which you may start at any time.

Wasn’t aware you were looking for advice….
To find a friend you need to be one first. Same goes for finding a lover. Be a lover first. Give you love away. Or at least charge enough to help pay the bills.

i found love. then it slapped me in the face and stomped on my heart. but i will find love again. its within me, so therefore, i am able to love again. its just a vulnerable position to put yourself in, so many people are cynical about it. kkkeeeepppp looking, keep waiting, just enjoy life in the process. :)

I find the best advice is given when people don’t know they are giving it =)

ME TOOOO I ex and I “was trying” t o work it out ONLY because his truck was down, so he used me to use my truck to go see the other girl while I was at school, this is the wrost hurt/ slap in the face I have never had.. and I dont tust any guy, I want guy friends, but they ALL want something in return, and right now I dont need another lier, cheater in my lif…. I can’t wait for this loser to move out, but as many people have told me he will not until he finds another sucker, to help him…. I cant kick him out because its my dads house, and i cant move becase i cant affort it right now and I only have a 1yr left of college…Then I WILL MOVE or unless I get a better job in the next few months which I’m looking for…. I’m thankful that I have a job nowut the money isnt good at all….
My advice for anyone that has had their heart broken…. STOP and think WHY was it something YOU did and was the other person a LOSER??? Learn yourself first before getting into another relationship!!!! Because YOU are the MOSt important person in the world and a heart can only take so much…
I cant even think about being any thing more then friend with a guy right now, because of the hurt i just went though….

Love is a fantasy that we all seek. We search for someone that is compatable, makes us laugh and we can tell our deepest darkest secrets. The fact is we are in search of a fantasy. There is no perfect person for us. We settle for what we think is best for us. Sure some of us find a person who is close to our fantasy but eventually our dream dissapates and we become use to what is left behind. We become comfortable and fear that will change but love itself is only a dream we all seek.

If you are wondering why someone don`t find love try this experiment…
Go out and look closer at all the people that u DON`T want to get to know better and ask yourself why. Look closely and see if there is anything worth loving there. If you just look at all the hotties you will miss the big picture. I don`t say that you should aim lover i just say that if you think a little broader it really makes more sense why some people find it harder to find love.

In all there ain`t no bounderies when it comes to love. Sometimes it`s right in front of u but your too busy to see it. Happened to me…
