It's true. Being in love is like being high, and the break up it's justa period of withdawal. When you "love" someone you're willing to do thinks you wouldn't normally do (humilliate yourself, be submissive, tolerate stuff from him/her you wouldn't take from anyone else, etc) because it's our natural state to be with someone. This is merely instinct. And we're just following nature's guideline to a happy and normal life as members of our species. But think how much is wasted in the porsuit of love/sex (some people can't tell the difference between looking for "the one" and trying to get laid). Who hasn't been "dumped" (never really liked that word, it's like saying you're trash...)? And people just consider all that pain to be "normal". Precious time that could be spent studying, meditating, doing art, curing diseases and improving ourselves. Instead of doing that, we choose to waste our time doing what's natural. What has nature done for us lately? The Tsunami, Katrina, earthquakes and the fact that at any given time a rock from outer space could kill us all.

Sex compared to an earthquake? THAT IS SO EASY. I'd explain, but I fear Omni's +9 sword of moding.

Well it certaintly sucks when you get that moment of realization that some things just aren't going to happen... I wouldn't say it brings out that worst in someone, but it does make you pretty f****** depressed.

..thats kinda gay being in love is the best feeling on this earth.. knowing that one person will do the same for you.. willing to do anything just to be with you.. what can possibly feel better...
[QUOTE="partyman879"]..thats kinda gay being in love is the best feeling on this earth.. knowing that one person will do the same for you.. willing to do anything just to be with you.. what can possibly feel better... And how is that feeling any different from using drugs?
Brother, you ain't kidding. I would without a doubt kill for those I love. People screwing with those you care for unleashes a rage within a person that'd make satan himself go wide-eyed. I suppose it's primal nature to protect whats yours... but man oh man. Don't go there with anyone if you can help it.

I know...I almost beat this kid to death but I stopped myself from attacking him.
i disagree, a mature relationship doesn't mean tolerating things you wouldn't necessarily tolerate or making a fool of yourself trying to make them happy. Maybe at first you do "crazy" things but once you really get to know eachother & have a real mature relationship you dont do foolish things.

I know...I almost beat this kid to death but I stopped myself from attacking him. That's a hard thing to control. Good for you. I stay away from violence.. but if you rub me the wrong way you're going to know it. I'm sure the same goes for you, and most everyone else here.
Well everyone is different and obviously experience different things. You might just need to wait for true love, or maybe thats what you are destined to be....although all my friends who are single say love isnt important T_T
Anyways, for me love has made my life so much easier and so much more worth living. I have someone to always have my back, and I will always have his. Cuddles are great though!:D

I don't have a crappy life. I've just realized that life without love is soooooooooo much easier. He didn't say a crappy life; he said a crappy LOVE life. Based on your description of love, I don't see how you can contest that. Try getting involved with people who are less crazy-making. For me, I've only been in two relationships, but that's just because I have a very low threahold for putting up with people's crap.
I've dated around most of my life, had a few serious relationships... for me the only kind of love I want anymore is from family. I've been through enough to make me not want to deal with it anymore, I've been single for 2 and a half years and I have not regretted the decision, and I've been overall a more happy person since deciding to "go solo"
It gets pretty scary when you say "Yes, hunny, I will go visit your parents with you..." and you know full well that his dad is satan and wants to own your soul :( *fears her father in law*)

I dont think its instict. I think to an extent jealousy is an instinct but I think people follow what television & movie relationships look like. They think its ok to be jealous & controlling. & Its ok to ONLY care about one person & to put them above everybody else. But thats wrong. Of course they are on another level but you shouldn't put them above your friends and family. & jealousy is what ruins relationships for the most part. What most of the world thinks relationships should be like is really just a replay of a crappy movie that doesn't work out the same in the end.
