I never been in a relationship, never been in love. But from what I can gather from what I see and hear about love in todays society in particular. . . It seems kind of stupid and confused.
You always hear about love as this amazing force of nature! When you love someone, you care about them. Never want to HURT them! you're always to be truthful and honest. Put THEM ahead of you. Thats what love is, wanting to be the best you can, for somonew else, right? I'm guessing. . .
WRONG! Look at the reality of what people are! We are a contradiction of everything I just mentioned. People CHEAT, lie, deceive, put on a false character and hurt the person they're with without a second thought. Just look at what some of the married and non-married people on this site and what they're confessing to.
What is love? Its a 4 letter word. Nothing much else. I think I've lost all faith in ideal. It just does seem worth 98% of the nonsense. I'll walk this life alone instead.
Thoughts?

Life is not like the movies where everything is scripted out and the main charracters usually live happily ever after.Life can be hard, full of disappointments but that is reality. Life is quite often what we make of it.Other than life and death ,nothing is guaranteed in your life.What happens in between those two dates is largely up to you. One thing is certain if you want to meet someone you must go out into the cold world and take a chance.Miss Right is not going to some knocking on your door.Sure you might have your heart broken once or twice but don't let that stop you.Most people experience the same thing.Those who are afraid to take a risk are putting restrictions on themself and the potential for finding that special someone.Some people will continue to live the sort of life style you comment about BUT that doesn't mean you have to withdraw from life.There is love out there as well as hate.Get up out of your chair, open the door and see that there is a big world out there just waiting for you to participate in it.Good luck

I'm sorry you feel this way. Yes, there are a lot of really scummy people out there who claim to be in love and then come here with some really messed up questions. But I urge you not to look at this site as a realistic measure of society. It's the really messed-up people who get themselves into situations for which they come here asking stupid questions. You'll notice that I haven't asked a single question on Yahoo! Answers--not because I don't have questions, but because I know I'll get the most worthwhile answers from people I know and trust, and from my own research and yes, common sense.
I've been in love with the same guy for three years--and while I know this doesn't sound like a long time, it is considering I'm fresh out of college, and according to the stereotype I'm supposed to have spent those years spreading my legs for anything that walked.
Love can be wonderful, if you go into it with the right outlook. IT isn't going to be perfect, YOU aren't going to be perfect, because we ARE human. The fairy tales we've been fed for so long are skewing our ideas of love and setting us up for disappointment. Just be optimistic. Look to have fun with the person. Sometimes, love will follow. There is a responsibility to the other person, and it does take work, but if you remind yourself that the goal is to be happy with them and to have fun, it keeps everything in perspective.

Like you said you've never been in love before... Hopefully you will meet the right person who will be as decent to you as I can tell you are capable of being.
And FYI there are alot of screw ups out there who are mainly influenced by pop culture to invest fully on short term pleasures, but i can bet that there are just as many people who have their heads and hearts in the right place.
Sure you can walk this life alone, in some cases you are better off that way!

By your own admission, you have never been in love, but you have strong ideas about what you THINK it is. If you wish to be a movie critic, you would gain much more credibility if you actually watched the movie you are critiquing. If you are a food critic, people have more respect for your opinion if you actually went into a restaurant and ate the food, not just looked at pictures of it. Ergo, your observation about love is based on nothing more that conjecture and personal interpretation, not actual fact.
