One sided love affairs never last. There is no bond. Only lust and that can only sustain a relationship so long.

You lusting for someone else inflates their ego temporarily. Them lusting after you does the opposite.

I agree…..it’s too painful to go through or put someone through…but if I had to choose….id choose the second one….because if it doesnt work at least I wont hurt as much…i know thats selfish but no one wants to be in a position to get hurt….

@Moronic. He loves you but you don’t love him… Is that correct? For how long have you known this?

Kinda. I’m not really sure about him. I feel like I should end the relationship, but the other side of me doesn’t want to let go.
Erm, it’s been a few weeks.

If its only been a few weeks why is “love” being mentioned in the relationship to begin with? I think he is in “love” with the external part, but I doubt he has gotten to know you on the inside yet. Am I wrong there??

Oh wait, I thought you meant how long have I felt this way about the relationship.

I don’t know , probably neither. Why would you want someone to love you if you didn’t love them back?

Loves a two way streak, it needs to work on both sides. If theres no love theres nothing to work on.

one of my gifts, is that i can love any girl… i somehow can bring myself to see the good parts of her and totally forget about the rest… but am talking mentally here, but when i love her mentally i forget her physical… i dont know how to explain it :D

but i think most ppl dont have that, its more like they either love them or dont… for me i can work on myself and bring myself to love a person…

i guess once u realize that nobody is perfect and if that person somehow is open minded, then i believe the sky is the limit… i can help her become a better person and she can help me become a better person as well :)

The second one makes no sense.
How can they love you more than anything and dont love you at all? LOL

Anyways I was in a relationship kinf of like #1. I loved him lots but after 5 years I figured he didnt love me back the way I thought he did. These things never end up good. Both have to have a mutual feeling for each other.
