They say if you love something let is go...If it is meant for you it will come back, but it if doesn't it never was yours to begin with. However, if you love something enough will you not try to hold on to it and make it stay? Wouldn't letting go show you are giving up or just don't care? How is letting someone go right?

I agree with the statement. It does not say push someone away. It says let "it" go. To me that means let your love go if they want to see other people or leave you to go far away. If that person truly is meant to be with you they will return or you two will be together again later. Rememeber that relationships are about trust and friendship not ownership and possession. Good Luck!

The more you try to hold onto someone, the more you smother them. If you hold onto something too tight, you can actually end up killing the relationship. If you allow that person freedom to have their own sense of self you'll find that they're a better person and your relationship will probably flourish.

As for how is letting go of someone right or being a sign of not caring, if you have let that person know how you feel with words and actions, then you have to trust them to make a decision, hopefully one that will benefit you both. Granted sometimes it doesn't work out as we hoped. When you don't allow a person the freedom to make a decision, then you're not allowing them to reach their full potential which is more detrimental to their emotional well being than by letting them know you care enough to give them the space and time they need.

Wouldn't you rather know that person is with you of their own free will rather than being chained to you?

If you really love someone, their happiness is more important than your own. If they want to leave because they are not happy, you should let them go try to be happy. Trying to hold on and begging and pleading can only make them dislike you. Tell them how you feel about them, and that you don't want to let go, but that their happiness is important to you. And yes, if they really love you, they will see what they are missing and come back, if they don't, then like the saying you quoted....it was never really meant to be. Good luck and God bless.

There are times when you should let someone go.....if they decide the relationship isn't right for them You don't want to try to keep someone in a relationship out of guilt. If they do go...you never know, they may come back around if it's meant to be and if not then it's time to move on as they have. You don't want to be in a one sided relationship.

if that person isnt completely happy in the situation then you need to give them some time to find themself. once done that person will love you more and return to you. no matter how much you love someone if they feel like they need to move on be the true lover and let them go even though it hurts. when they come back there will be an even greater love between the two of you.

if they don't come back you have saved two people from an absolute misery. in the end neither of you would have been truly happy

i might accept as true with the previous asserting there in case you had pronounced that factor became strapped to a helicopter, a fat pigeon, a kite or another air borne entity. notwithstanding it in simple terms isn't. Time won't fly in any respect. Time could desire to be driving into city on the one hundred bus for a time out to Primark, or using around on a bike nicely over the value decrease and on some unlawful substance, perchance time walks as quickly as we are having relaxing? or in step with risk time crawls around the floor while having relaxing. geez i do no longer comprehend. I recommend there are such quite some diverse modes of transport accessible immediately - and at low expenses too. So time may be in simple terms off the pacific perfect now with a pina colada on a banana boat. you will could do quite some investigating into this to confirm how time travels - notwithstanding if working, strolling, using or flying.

Well..I look at it this way. Take a dog, put it in the car and drive 200 miles and drop it off. If it comes home afterwards it loves you and is meant to stay.

Boot a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend out...if they keep coming back then get a protective order.

Hope that clarifies it for you.

The saying that you refer to was actually originally said in reverence to a wild bird that was taken in because of an injured wing. The boy that had taken the bird in and nursed it back to health wanted to keep the bird because he loved it. His parents told him, "If you love it, set it free, if it comes back to you, it is yours, if not then it never was." This was never an accurate statement for people, because with people it takes two for a love relationship to work. You can love someone, but if they do not love you back, then they should be set free so to speak because they will end up leaving anyhow. Setting something free implies possession and people naturally resist being a possession.

Maybe in the movies (like serendipity) things will come back to you. But if you love some one...why would you want to let them go? I let go of a guy I really loved 15 years ago, because he couldn't get a job. I always think about him. I always wonder about him. He was my "true love" if you believe in true loves.

Put yourself into his (the person you like) place....
What would you do if suddenly "she" will begin to act like she doesn't care ? Cos this will be the message.

Don't just let him alone to built a possible friendship or, who knows, a love story.
Act as he is important to you. In the end this is be the truth, right?

What if, for instance, he cares about you to but is to shy to tell ? You know him better.
My advise is to NOT just stand and wait things hapen

P.S: In case you like him but he... .doesn't know that, yes it would be better for you to let him make the first step.
And.... do you talk to him- you are colleges / good friends?
right down to....
