For me, I would prefer to be loved because you can still explore the man's attitude and develop your feelings for him and I know He will love me faithfully if that's the case. How about you guys???????

I think love is a two way thing,you love and expect to be loved in return and viceverser.

Hi there! That sure is a complicated question because love is very complicated. If the man who loves you is so unlovable you'd not develop any feelings for him, why would you force yourself to love him? For me, it is better that we love, for in loving we learn a lot of things. It is better to give than to receive, so they say and what you give will return to you a hundredfold. Yes, I prefer to love and in return I'll expect nothing from him or I'll only be hurt if he doesn't love me back. At least I loved.

Love has a broad meaning. I think it's not always about loving your spouse. To me, it's more like loving my family and friends. And. I choose to love them because there's nothing wrong with it. And also, love is a two-way relationship because if I love my family, they'll love me back, and vice versa. So, don't be afraid to love, okay?

It would be so great if both are achievable. But i do get what you mean. Sometimes life is just so complicated. I think I would choose the guys who love me because if he love me, i know that he will be faithful to me and will be good to me. On the other hand, the other guy whom i love but does not love me might not treat me well and he might go on to find some other girls. therefore, the seems like it would be better to pick the guy who love me. However, it's not so clear cut. this is possible only if we do have some feelings for this guy. If we don't reciprocate his love, he'll get tired of it sooner or later. We need to love him too. Otherwise, it's sooner or later that he will be unfaithful too.

It's is better to loved each other, but to be loved is much better than loving. So we are not very tired chasing and things will be more easy for us for being loved compare to loovng someone with no replay

To be loved :P because i think you will learn to love that person in time. :)But if you know that the feeling still wouldn't be mutual, then you should be frank enough to tell that person and save him from being hurt more.

It is beautiful to be loved, of course, but, love is a two way road, and give love is something as fullfiling as to be loved. Of course, to love, and not being loved in return is hell.

I am totally opposite from you. This whole situation is weird to me. I was always taught to follow my heart not the heart of others. I will not be with someone if I do not have feelings for that person. I do not think that I can custom myself to love another based solely on the fact that they are in love with me. If I do not have the same feelings I let that person know and I keep waiting for the person I would fall in love with at the same time as they are falling in love with me. I am the type a person where arranged marriages will definitely not work for me in any way, I would always wonder what if there was someone else out there that was for me and I could truly not live without, I would feel I would never know because I was chosen who I marry. If I were to be born in the countries where I am arranged to marry someone I would probably pull a romeo and Juliet and find a way around it!

Well surely loves best when its reciprocated both ways? If he loves you more than you love him, he will have those same insecurities that you would feel if it was the other way around.

to love someone is good but the main thing is that someone love you. Make yourself such a good that you need not to know that person but he will know you as best. Stay awake may he is showing what he is not. Be awake all the time. Staying close doesnt not only mean that you are reading him or her but it can also show you are just very close to false thing. check whats good in it. Is it you love or he loves you.

I would say both ^-^. I would appreciate to be admired and loved by others. But at the same time I also prefer to offer my love to others. I don't think love should be a one directional road, but a two directional road with no ends. It is very difficult to find the situation. But once you do, you will feel like you have finally made the best choice of your life. I am using choice here as a metaphor ^-^.

Both. :) I think we should love a person the way he or she loves us back. I don't think a relationship would work if only the person is loved and that person does not love the person who loves him/her. So, I say both! :)
