yes. if you do NOT love to keep pain OUT, then you also cannot let LOVE IN!! it's a risk but one worth taking!! just use your HEAD and not always your heart for guidance!!

No, it's not better at all. Sometimes what you forget pops up out of the blue and you will feel miserable. While remembering makes you getting used to the fact that you have to live with it. Might be hard at the beginning but at the end it's better to accept it rather neglect it and keep it in a hidden drawer of your brain.\nAlways better to solve our issues then put it aside...\ngood luck!

Of course!  People say that you can always find someone better...and you might, but what if your heart doesn't want or can't handle "better"?  \n\nUm, but there's that old saying "if you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours....".  I truly believe this is true.  \n\nI lost a really great guy almost a year ago.  Another great guy came into my life, but I didn't want him.  My heart cannot forget my ex.

No, and I NEVER will! First loves are important in our lives, and will always be in our memories. Mine has been gone for years, but I still think about her from time to time. What we have to do is move on(but we NEVER forget).

That would depend on what you mean by risking everything, first love is not worth you own life or the lives of children but if it means moving or changing a bit of who you are then yes, love is all about change. good luck and enjoy

There is a difference from being in love and loving someone.  You dont necessarily have to be in love to love someone.  And sometimes that butterflies in your stomach is more lust then love.  I would say that to have a great relationship you must love one another but being in love fades and being in lust fades faster.

LOVE!!! Everyone's definition of love will be different. I think though, the one thing we would agree on is,"how great and powerful and beautiful" it makes us feel. You will know your in love because of all the crazy things you will be feeling and doing, just all of a sudden makes sense. You haven't by some chance built a wall around your heart have you? Unfortunately, as wonderful as love is, its just as terrible and ugly when it ends. Have you lost someone close to you for any reason, such as, death, parents splitting up, a good friends betrayal, and etc., etc.,. We don't seem to cauterize those as that special kind of love, like we want to believe love is, but non the less, it is. Love is a game of chance, and a sense of gambling. Sounds like poker some what, huh? Anyway, if you have built this wall to protect your heart, that wall is also keeping out the one thing that everyone wants which is to love and to be loved. Open your heart, and trust, and see what you find. "Its better to love and lost, than to never of loved at all." Now, get out there and experience love for yourself and ee what happens!

Sure!  Everyone is vulnerable from time to time, especially when in love.  But if you never got hurt, you would never know love so it's worth it.

Yes! I believe that you can still love a person and not be in love with them anymore. I've been there and its hard, but its very possible.

LoL, you're asking in the computer category? The best part about that is this: I'd say at LEAST half of best computer nerds who browse this site to answer questions will have some trouble with this one, lol. I can say I do. I've been wondering whether it truly is better "to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all", I'm finding that statement to be a false one, but want to make sure it's not true, for... screw it, here's my logic:\n\n\nboolean statement = //fill in this blank when you find out;\nboolean throwSelfIntoWork = false;\n\nIF (statement==true)\n{\n   TimeWasted = CurrentTime-TimeOfBirth\n}//if\nELSE //statement==false\n{\n   System.out.println("NEVER DATE AGAIN.");\n   throwSelfIntoWork = true;\n}//else

I would rather be loved.  Because loving someone can be painful sometimes.  Being loved makes you feel great about yourself.  It doesn't take as much work to be loved as it does to love.

What won't we humans do for love?  Think about this, love can be transitory sometimes and when we find love we want to hold onto it with both hands and never let go...because what if it went away?  \n\nI'm sure most of us have known "love" in one form or another and I think I'm correct in assuming that a lot of us have had that love taken away.  Whether a relationship ends, we loose a friend, family member or even a pet.  Sometimes love  just goes away.  So when we find it we don't want to loose it and because these feelings are so strong within us it can bring out the best and worst in our behavior.\n\nSo love in any shape or form is a glorious thing but without it in our lives it's truly a great tragedy.

you can love someone and not be in love with them, but you can't be in love with them and not love them . You love a person for what they are , you fall in love with a person for who they are.

No, you can love many many people over the course of a lifetime. You can even love more that one person at a time. So if you lose the "Love of your life" then it is posible to move on, you might just not want to.

Loved and lost. Because then you would have at least known how it felt to love and be loved. If you never loved than you would want to know how it felt. You can always remember that you and your loved one had your own time in life and NOTHING can replace that. Ya'll made memories together.

absence makes the heart grow fonder!If it really is "true love" it will withstand the tests of time and miles.And yes love is sacrifice,love is compromise,love is never having to say you're sorry!love is unconditional
