Is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?

The pain was enough to make me decide never to love again. The girl seriously fucked me up, and now I don't want the drama. Sex = good, love = bad.

idk.. when you love some one and they either dont love you back or break your heart.. it hurts so bad.. i cant handle the pain..

Absolutely. I have never been in love and it sucks. At least tou have those memmories of what the good times were. You can look back and remember events and experiences that you shared and you know that you are capable of love and being loved. I think if you never been in love there is this big empty void in your past present and future and you are always questioning what could have been or what could be.

I don't think it's better to have loved and lost because then you get stuck in the mindset that all guys are BEEP BEEP BEEP.

I was thinking about this earlier today. Say you get married and grow old with that person. You're still madly in love with this person after all those years and then they die. I'm sure the loss could make someone lose their sanity.

I think it's certainly better to have loved and lost. All throughout high school I kept wondering what it would be like to have a girlfriend. I would get sad and jealous because a lot of people I knew had girlfriends and they all looked so happy with them. After I graduated I finally got a girlfriend. The relationship was short, it lasted the entire summer. However, it was the best summer of my life. Kissing, cuddling, and such. The girl liked me first, which was also an upper. Sure, she broke my heart into a million pieces when she left me for another guy, but at least I know what it's like to be in a relationship. At least I remember the good times I had. If you never loved at all, sadly you're just gonna keep wondering what it's like, and that was never really a good time for me. So I'll reiterate. It certainly is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. And that's my two cents.

It is better to have loved and lost than to have stayed with the psycho the rest of your life ... :D

I think its better to have never loved at all, because when you love and lose than you have all this pain, and to have never loved at all your not missing out on anything cause you never knew how it felt. So I voted I rather have never loved at all. cause I have loved and lost and the pain was worse than my 3rd degree burn.

When you have loved and lost, at least you know what 'love' is and next time you get a 'love' you would know what to do different

Its better to have loved. Its such an amazing thing. But the pain u feel when they dont love u, its like ur going to die. All u want is what u had with them before. That time, the time u had the love, thats good stuff. All u want is that. And why? because love is great.

You can never know what it is to have loved but lost AND what is to have never loved. It's an impossible question to answer...

I haven't yet been so damaged by love to have wished all the wonderful stuff never happened though.

NO , because if you loved & lost .. your heart will still be with that person. And you wont be able to get over them . I think its better to not have loved at all. Everyone has their soulMate , they will come along one day or another [ :

I think it really depends on how far she/he is willing to go in a relationship. If he/she just flat out dumps you or you dump them and theres no serious relationship then,big deal,moving on. But a major commitment (marriage) failing can be a huge heart breaker.

good girls are worth loving , common ones are not

Girls are fucking mean.

Relationships are very valuable. Because of my relationships, I could die today and say I had a fulfilling life just because I was with her, and her and her and her and her.

love is amazing

Never loving is easier: No chance of being trapped into a relationship that's more commited than you want or are ready for, and above all no chance to allow yourself to be trapped into marriage with anyone!

I've only had 1 gf so far.. yeah yeah im a loser w/e... (im 17) but iono I thought she liked me and she made me feel special but I was just used and it change me.. Dunno about you guys but it killed my confidence and I'm trying to get back up ... it sucks.. trying to keep up a facade of being confident and outgoing to seem attractive although on the inside you are terrified of even talking to a girl...

laugh it up>.> idc

of course its better to have loved and lost. the question is stupid. real love (!) is stronger than anything else and the time you had with your partner compansates all pain that might evoke when you break up

depends. my wife ikes to share her pussy with a lot of men, butI still love her

If someone hasn't loved
then they swear it is better to have loved
If someone has had a heart broken
they'll swear it is better to not have loved

personally, having not loved
I say it is far better to risk pain to live
than to stay safe and fade away
