I know this is a really weird question but which of the two do you prefer? I had a crush on this really really pretty girl. Fortunately, I had been able to speak with her the past few days. I like her I'd tell you that much but the problem is that there's this other girl, not to brag, who likes me. Apparently, I don't know much about the pretty girl I like since we recently just met. If you were me, who would you choose? To Love or be Loved?

I believe that if you are a GUY is it better to love and as a girl it is good to Be Love! It is because Guys are the one that initiate the relationship! Guys must feel LOVE first cause girls when they felt that they are taking care off well and LOVED they will sustain in a relationship and developed to reciprocate the love that they received from a guy! :D

Hello friend. I have a friend, she is a girl, who get married because of the reason she wanted to be loved, not the one who love more than her partner will love her and it was such a big mistake, that she divorced 2 years after they get married with her husband. You are not is that situation, for sure and you are more lucky. What i can say for myself is that i choose the people, who i will love, they never choose me. I would never share relationship with a person, who i don't love and it's one of my rules about the life at all. I use it for making friends, i use it for choosing a partner and for everything. If i love someone, i will know that whatever happens the person will deserve it - doesn't matter what kind of person is. I've been in relationship with a person, who loved me and i didn't love him so much. Soon after the start of the relationship i was so bored, started to hurt him with my decisions and it was one period full of pain. This is why i said myself - girl, you will be the one who will love more, never mind that the person can hurt you, it will be your responsibility to keep yourself in good emotional mood. That's one risk, but if we need happiness, we need to choose which is the right thing for us.

Thanks for the really wonderful explanation not to mention that you've even related it to true to life experiences. I understand your point of how you wish to love instead of being loved. I guess nothing in this world really is without risks. Happiness is a treasure. To find it you must dig through the solid ground. It inflicts strains, scrapes and bruises but in the end, its all worth it. Thank you so much for the very wonderful share! I wish you can find the happiness you seek! :)

Hmmm if I love the person who loves me then I would probably consider, but one thing I can never do is be with someone who loves me but I never have feeling for the person. Even though loving is hurting but I will still choose the person I love which the feeling comes right from my heart. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

I think it is better to love. You can express emotions and feelings with love. To be loved is also an option. You know that somebody is showing affection to you. So for me, it is better to love.

Please be active in the world of love, don't be passive or you'will regret. So, love is the best option, not be loved. When you get the girl you love successfully, then you can spread love for all the world. Isn't that cute?

I would never choose between the two. It has to be both or nothing at all. I don't understand why people think you should have to choose one or the other.

To love someone is more challenge, and satisfaction you got after you make it is incomparable. I would like to prefer to love.

Indeed,life midding often things happen,you like the person don't like you,the person who likes you you don't like,facing the situation,everyone will think very contradiction,I carefully thinking about the problem,the conclusion is that,if I were you,I would choose the person I love,to me,whether the man to you again how good,if not the man I love,always have no way I moved,I like to pay my love,I want to see the person I love can get happiness,I want my love that a person can experience it.
