Should you ever give up hope on the love of your life?

When should you give up hope that the man or woman of your dreams will love you? If you find someone that you think could really make you happy, but, they just won't commit, how long should you pursue them before giving up and moving on to someone else? Do you think there are any definite signs that someone might not be the right person for you?

Well I say never give up hope, but I say that in a way that you should never give up hope deep down and at the same time maybe still get on with your life, dreams do come true but when the time is right, so I say keep getting on with your life and if it is meant to be it will happen one way or another...

If anyone has a problem with commiting to you, I think he/she just doesn't love you enough. But there are people who are just beeing afraid to commit because they had bad experience in their past. Some of them do not want to commit because they had divorced parents and are afraid to become that kind of persons themself. So it is relly up to you to choose wheter or not to proceed with that kind of a relationship. There is no guarantee on anything in life...

I think if a person isn't ready to commit to you, and you are ready to commit, maybe that person isn't the right person. I guess it depends on how soon you are ready to commit, though. I know that I wouldn't wait for years for it, though. There are signs that a person isn't the right person for you. One of those is if you are much more into him than he is into you. If he always expects you to give up things you like to do things he likes, etc. I wouldn't date someone like that for very long at all. I think that usually when you've found the right person for you, things just fall into place, though. My husband and I are into a lot of the same things, yet we have enough interests of our own to be able to have some diversity and differences. We're both happy with ourselves, and our relationship.

Well,I think we live in hope only.I think we should not give up hope in any cases.In life we face many probs and it become very diffecult if it concern about love.I think for a married person with children its a very diffecult.I think there is no sings but behaviour makes understand whether its a right person or not.

If it is for someone who is single, I think, it would be better to give up the love without bearing any love fruit and move on. There is no need to make oneself in the status of feeling painful for that. Love to fit someone is always there waiting for the right person.
