I beg your pardon, it's a sensitive question and for my part it's a yes.

I must be honest with you, often times I find myself answering "yes" to this question, even though I wish I didn't. Although, others would tell me otherwise. but it is a natural human want for love, to be loved, for someone to love you. Sometimes I don't know what it is, but often I think as humans, we need to be loved, just so we know that SOMEONE actually does love us, and that we are not alone. And I won't lie, it is a good feeling to know that you are loved.
But there are two sides to every coin: I often find myself loving things helplessly. The greatest love I often feel is that for my best friend, and it almost or maybe even equally as wonderful as being loved. The opening line of Elton John's "Your Song" song describes it well: "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside..." And that's exactly what it is. Funny. There aren't many better words to describe love. Words constructed by the confused heart of man alone cannot hope to do such. Although, music tends to describe love extremely well.
But to be loved, we must love in the same accord. For me, it is an almost equal scale. Often times, I find myself hungering for some kind of love from anyone, but other times, I find myself loving so many things. It's got to sides. Alot of things do, especially complicated ones. And love is surely complicated.

No Carl...there is a big difference between being loved and accepted by a person, family or group and loving others as Jesus taught us to do.
I can see that this might be a stumbling block for you and possibly its more about wanting the approval of others more than wanting their love. In time, I think you will be able to overcome this and move on.

No... I searched for and found an equal relationship we both love each other more and more each day giving more when our partner needs it taking more when we need it..
While it's fabulous to be loved, it's just as fabulous to give love... but only when you are with someone who feels the same about love... Relationships are a delicate balance of give and take if both parties concentrate on giving more than taking there will be a reserve in the relationship for when they each need to take a bit more...

Not sure if I understand correctly but I am more into giving love, friendship, and affection than recieving. I would rather love than be loved but if I am loved in the process then all the better. Hope I am understanding you right

No. I would never trade my freedom from ego that love gives me to have someone else have it. It's too easy to help someone fall in love. Why would I give up the wonderful natural state of love that is our birthright?

No. I love to love. When I give it away, it comes back to me over and over. The cycle goes on and on. :)
