i'm just curious. i haven't been in a relationship because i'm afraid to commit. i've heard about my friends' complaints about having their heart broken and yet they still want to have someone to love,again and again.

i think it is not about being heart broken that your friends keep on loving to have someone in their lives. i think it is about this human desire and longing to be with someone. to love is not that tragic. to love is to experience being human (being happy, inspired, joyful, hurt, frustrated, disappointed, sad). these are all feelings that make us human. and it is not just one-way; to be loved too hits the very core of our being human. it is a celebration of life. don't you think so?

Relationships are hard to find happiness and love in. They can be painful at times and they can be very happy other times. In life ; we are always going to be hurt about something.I feel that some people put too much into a relationship , while their partner holds back. When that happens ; you will get hurt. As for myself ; I'm single because I choose to be for awhile and I am very pleased with my decision.After being involved with the wrong kind of men; I decided to take a break from the scene and spend some me time.I , like your friends would like to find some one who loves me for me and all that other good stuff but it takes time to find that special some one. I have grown a lot to be patient and wait. I don't need a man in my life to complete me or to make me happy because those feelings come from within.

I think that is just a part of being human. You always feel the need to be loved by someone and they do it over and over again regardless of the heart break. I think being single is fine too and it is possible for a person to be happy just as well. But, it really depends on a person and what they want for themselves.

ha ha ha ha ha... don;t be fooled into thinking that love is all about laughs and joy. It also brings about a barrage of emotions like sadness, jealousy, fear, hurt as well. Take your time to choose your partner. Do not just go into one for the sake of it. I have seen too many breakups in my life when I was your age to know that I wouldn't want to be involved in one. So I took my time to look. I only found my love one when I was pursuing my degree. She really took my breath away as I got to know her throughout by course. As the days go by, I only could think of her. And then I finally picked up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend. She was my first girlfriend. And now, she is my wife. So take your time to find your significant other. Once you find it, that one relationship is well worth the wait as compared to getting to into many relationships and breaking up after that!
