Can you really avoid love?
    #7947689 - 01/28/08 08:58 PM (16 years, 4 days ago)

My best friend had a relationship with a guy who then became my friend. They really loved eachother, and I like both of them a lot. Then they broke up.

The breakup was like watching a fucking car accident. Both leveled, the guy still hasn't recovered (this was a year ago)

I found myself thinking, now, stay the fuck out of love, because that shit sucks like ass cancer.

I'm wondering if you really can avoid love. I mean, I know you don't have a choice when you fall in love, but can't you just not try?

I'm thinking of holding out until I meet some women way smarter than I am. (That way whenever I get nagged into doing something, it'll be the right thing to do anyway)

I'm sure some people are capable of turning their backs on it. Myself? Impossible. I'm wired for it.

It'll find you eventually. I don't actively seek out women, relationships or love but they all find their way into my life on a consistent annual cycle.

I just feel bad for the poor bastards who obsessively seek out love and all their efforts fail on account of being overly needy and eager. Or the ones who are just fat or ugly and are pursuing a partner that is very attractive. Poor bastards.

I lived with and loved a girl for 5 years and after that it fell apart. I haven't felt the same since about any girl. Weird.

if it doesn't last, do you really think it was love?


a lot of people use the word or claim to feel 'love' but most of them don't know what it is outside of television/movies or infatuation

If you think you're in love, then you are.

And IMO the duration of love has nothing to do with its legitimacy.

After 5 years it must be rough. I've been with my girl for 3 and even though I want to (and have) fuck(ed) around with other girls if I lose her it would suck to say the least. Actually I have once, not too long ago. I think I made like 3 or 4 threads crying about it.

Sometimes people confuse love with lust. IMO

Total agreement.

I'll talk about love when I'm 40.

  Fuck yes it can be! :heart:

Love is a word, and like many words imperfect and subjective.
Very apparent to me though - and however painful at times, well worth it.

The associated Heaven and Hell are ultimately in your own hands.

and what about all those other things throughout life you *thought* were something that turned out not to be (correct/incorrect, etc...)?

how does *thinking* one is in love actually make it so?

Just because it ends doesn't mean it wasn't love.

Any attempt to define love for all people is simply useless...love is a connection. And everyone connects to everyone else in a completely unique manner. One's own perception of that connection is the only thing that matters.

Love is all in my head, the question is, which one?

I've never been in love so I really cannot explain it. It is impossible to explain what you have not experienced.

You just said love is connection for everyone thus defining it.

True. But if the other person doesn't feel (for whatever reason down the road) the love, is it truly a connection. Love takes two right? Otherwise its fantasizing after a while.

i could easily go through life not being influenced by love. It's just reason. I could name many priorities which are much higher on the totem pole than love and relationships. But then again i dont really value LOTS of people i come into contact with.
Just dont tell my girlfriend that.

It all depends on how many people you come into intimate contact with...by intimate i mean a conversation. It's just probability.
I dont come across many.
