Well I think u can try to give up on it but i think it will find u eventually. Plus u don't want to give up on it. Love is the closest thing to magic that humans have.

I say it is okay to give up on love, I have. Just don't give up on agape love for your fellow man. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The truth is, you may be better off without romantic love in. I believe we are living In the end times and lovers rarer and rarer these days. There may be someone out there for everyone, but you have to find that person among 7billion other people on this planet. Those odds are astronomically rare to find it. You may, but you most likely will not.
So find some measure of joy in your life without it, because the odds that you will are not in your favor. I mean, I may win the lottery one day, but the odds are I won't and it be stupid to quit my job cause I thought I might. You see what I'm saying?
Don't waste your life struggling for something that may not even be there.
Plus, why would you even WANT to knowing bring kids into this world? We have destroyed this planet and are not leaving anything behind for our kids, so why let them inherit a mess????

I've given up on it. And I'm great. Wherever I go for reason everyone hates me. So I'm ugly. And since it's only about appearances and how much money you have I guess I might as well give up entirely. Whooray for me. :):)

Yes - but only until the next time. There was an old music hall song with the lines "And when you think you're past love, it is then you meet your last love, and you love her (him?) as you've never loved before." Perhaps we love best when we give up on the commercialised fantasy of "love" as promoted by the movies and pop culture. I think real love is only possible when we know ourselves sufficiently to feel secure and reasonably self confident and independant (although hopefully we grow all our lives). Then we don't need someone else as a (fantasy) crutch , and can appreciate them for who they are without feeling threatened. Personally, I had a great passionate love affair in my early 20's with which it was impossible to proceed for various reasons, and the grief of loss crippled me for years. Then, after a painful marriage, in middle age, living alone contentedly with my children, I met a lady who seemed reasonably "unlikely" but with similar interests. The relationship grew, through respect, affection, and mutual care, to become the wonderful loving companionship of our past 25 years. She too had "grown up", learning from experience, and we've continued to grow together. I can't imagine life without her, though I know we would each survive when the other dies. So use the lonely bits to reflect, explore, and learn - and never give up! Desperation repels; but when you can enjoy life, your joy attracts the world.

yes it is. love is defined only be the person wanting love or giving love, or receiving love. it is not all the things you hear we each define it. so for some love is some thing we have trouble finding giving or receiving. love is a lot of different things, i have experienced many aspects of love. some wonderful some devastating and hurtful. some are unattainable,out of reach.

Never give up on anything, love is something that happens, not something you work for. Not until you get married, then love is something you work for, and thats fine.
