Hi to all!! In courtship, who would you choose to have a relationship with? The person who loves you most... or the person you love most? Justify..

I'd prefer to be with the person who loves me most. I'll frankly say that I'm afraid to love somebody because I am afraid he'll not love me the way I do love him. On my last relationship, I realized that I'm just the only one who give and give until he cheated on me. I don't want to experience that thing anymore so I'd prefer to be with the guy who will love me. A guy that can accept me for who I am, a guy who can laugh at my jokes, a best friend-boyfriend and a guy who never want to see me cry. I bet all girls want to be loved by somebody. But I think it is hard if We don't love the person who is loving us. That hurts. It is always much better to be with someone who loves you and you love too.

Yes you're right jeiyah. It's unfair if we won't love the person back. But love can be learned. It is a process within a relationship. Besides its not hard to love a person back when he/she really shows you how much they love you.

I prefer to be loved. It's hard to love someone that doesn't love you or cannot love you back. And It's easy to love somebody who loves you. I guess, this is some what weird. But during courtship some male really prefers to look for a girl they like and If the female doesn't want them, they still strive just win the girl. Maybe this is the perfect guy I am referring too. Be loved by someone is very rare than loving someone without loving you back. I hope you get my point, thanks for the post.

Yes mialei23, I think its a sign in courtship when the guy really aims to win a girls heart. It means he really loves her because he don't give up easily courting her. Hope you find that perfect guy soon. Thanks for sharing too.

Hello nandans! What a very nice response.. Indeed to be loved is a fortune where no amount of money or anything you can compare it to.

Oh wow... this is hitting home. I've been in a relationship with both. Guy #1 is a mysterious Pician with an air of slight bad a*s and ooh he gives me butterflies. When he'd kiss me the world would melt away and so would I. He didn't always say the right things and sometimes he made me cry, but one smile and I just couldnt help myself. When you love somebody that love is so very blind. Guy #2 a Virgo, is one of my very best friends. He's full of life and laughter and has a big heart. With him I'm comfortable and myself, but I'm not head over heels. the truth is loving and being loved are equally confusing.

I would prefer both.. I think its better to have those both because its kinda unfair in both sides if one of which is not present, right? I will not waste my time loving a person if he will not love me back....

But what if in reality you have to choose between 2 different guys? One who really loves you though he knows you doesn't love him too much and the other, when you're the one whose really in love with.

Dear Iskayz, logically and rationally I'd choose to have a relationship with the person who loves me most. Well, it means he will cater to my needs, take care of me, give me what I want (sounds very selfish, right?) Moreover, I will not need to commit myself so much emotionally, that is, I can remain detached. On the other hand, when you are madly in love, rationale flies out of the window. So in that situation, if I have to choose between two men, one who loves me, and another I love - I'd most likely want to be with the one I love.

Hi lazeebee! Like you, if I'm going to think about security in a relationship, I would choose the one who really loves me most. Even though I don't love the person that much. Yes, it may sound selfish but no, its just a matter of being practical in life. I can also learn to love the person back in return. Sometimes in relationships its not just all about love. You must also use your ability of reasoning and thinking. That's why God puts the brain above our hearts so we can reason out and think fairly, cause sometimes its the heart's decision that causes us grief. But who knows. I'm not in that situation yet so I wouldn't really know who would I choose. But if ever I'd be in that situation (I hope I wouldn't be)I'd probably choose the one who really loves me and pray to God to help me decide what would be best for me.

It's depend on the person.. We can never tell. But for me i like to love because i love it and i feel it. To be loved is kinda same.. sometimes we love and be loved.

Maybe both, you could choose which make you more happy! If you love someone,when you could help her or him ,you also get happiness!

for me, id rather choose the person that i love very much without asking in return. in relation to this there is a saying "it is better to give than to receive."
