would you sacrifice yourself for someone who seems to only love themselves?

no and I would never want someone that loved me to do that either, or to feel that it's necessary, that's not love.

It's better to love yourself first...\n\nPeople are always searching for their fulfillment, outside of themselves. The only way to really be in a loving relationship is to love yourself unconditionally and be self-sufficient and complete. \n\nOtherwise people enter into a relationship with the idea that the other person is going to complete them in some way - make them whole. This is why people get hurt in relationships. Because their happiness is dependent on the other person. People give up on love because they are looking for it outside of themselves and expecting that someone else is going to come along and give them what they are missing. Most never find someone that can meet their high expectations. When they are in a relationship they are trying to control or change the other person to make them more of what they expect... not realizing that what they are looking for can be found inside themselves.\n\nWhen you love yourself and are complete, then you can be with someone and allow them to be themselves, have their freedom, without feeling the need to control or change them. You will also be able to cope with a break up and move into a new relationship without dragging in all the old baggage.\n\nAlso... we never learn to walk until we are willing to fall. You cannot succeed unless you are willing to fail. You cannot receive love if you are too afraid to open your heart. \n\nKey to relationships:  \nThe Law of Attraction\nBE who you want... and you will attract them. You can only attract what you are.

I would die for my boyfriend in a heart beat. He means that much to me. And I know that he'd do the same. I think it's a sign of true love and devotion when you'd do that for someone. If it came down to the protection of himself over me, I would choose him in an instant. I am not interested in a life without him.

I think that if she's not willing to give you 100% of herself in any form, then she's not worth your time.  That's a hard thing to admit to yourself sometimes, but you deserve someone who's willing to give you all of themselves and make sacrifices.

god loves you...the question is do you love yourself

You can only truly live for yourself. You can try to please others but you are the one who has to live with your decisions so try to please yourself.

Lots of people make that commitment, but not many manage to keep it.\n\nI would say that if you only "really like him or maybe even more" then now is not the time to be thinking about making such a commitment anyway.\n\nWhen you find somebody that you simply can't be without and love more than you love your own life, then and only then should you consider such promises.\n\nPlease, don't give yourself away so cheaply.

cos the feelings are too strong.... all u have to do is feel the person is horror himself.or think him in a bad way and u will hate him.... but i will suggest that if there is any means having that person u just have to try cos  ... its good to follow the heart he may be the one 4 u and don't just give up. but if u insist on giving up it OK.. cos if u don't give up u are only killing ur self a given passion or emotion that can never be re_given by the other.there is not determinate answer cos, he May be the one, and he may not be the one. if u can bear it wait for a time and see if things will change. but if u cannot wait then forget him and believe that, if he is for u he will come back sooner or later alone.

no. even if you think that the person with you now is the one you really love, you need to save some for yourself :)

At this point ...no.  If there is someone better out there for me...why should I be with someone who does not totally satisfy me?  Especially in some cases of women I know who settle for anything...its so sad that they have that low self esteem to take whatever comes there way.  I think I deserve better than that. I definitely would not want to be someone's good enough. I want to be the one, the best they've had.

When you commit yourself your person, you are saying you love them just the way they are.  You should support and encourage your partner in any attempt they make at personal growth, but the worst statement anyone has ever made is "I can change him/her" or "Oh he's/she's never had someone that loved them like me, they'll change" \nIf you don't love them as they are then move on.

yes, just like you are capable of loving you can also be loved you just have find someone who is worthy of your love just dont go around trying to love someone thats not capable giving you back what are willing to give you you have to find that person whos will give it in return just dont settle for anybody when you find someone that has that unconditional love thats the one for you not the one that no matter what you say or do you never get back what you put in because at the end you find out that you just wasted your time and life is to short !!

I know what you mean. I have someone right now that I feel like I don't deserve but I love too much to let them go for their own good. Sometimes we just need people who have different qualities then us, stronger ones I guess. It doesn't make them better then us, just different personality wise. \n\nJust keep looking and maybe the one you 'don't deserve' is the right one you really do deserve.  : )

You can Love them sure, but they will NEVER love you the way you want them to.  The question doesn't really make sense you already Love them so HOW really isn't even in the equation, you just LOVE them or you don't, the question is...do you have enough respect for yourself and LOVE yourself more to move on or keep degrading yourself?  LOVE YOURSELF AND LOSE THE OBSESSION you "think" you LOVE

You sure do have the right idea.  Very few actually understand just who they are.  To do the most good for others then it is best to do the best you can for yourself.  Don't think you are selfish by taking care of you first.  In most cases if you don't no one else will.

I live for myself and the people I love... Going through most of my life, I never felt love. Oh, I told plenty of people I loved them and of course they said it back. Though I did not feel it, it was like something alien to me... So I fell into a deep depression, barely eating, not talking to anyone, just sort of floating through my life with a glazed look on my face. Then my nephew was born and I ended up having to raise him for a year, myself. I finally felt that love for something other than myself, I loved my nephew so much that it opened the way for me to love others.\n\nGranted, I still don't feel that sort of love from my family but I now love three people. THREE PEOPLE, one of which I am trying to get involved with. So, I suppose I live for love really... As corny as that sounds. I want the chance to be able to love as many people as I can now, within reason. lol

Thats kinda the point... to give yourself over to love is to ask the other personal to guarentee you certain things, that they wil stay with you and faithful and not hurt you because now you love them, they're the only one who can hurt you. Giving someone that power over you is how you show them you love them, letting yourself be vunerable is what underlines how important it is to you. weird, huh?
