like what the topic says, have you ever tried to give up on love, have you thought about giving up on love?

love hurts a lot more when you lose it than when you receive it.
and when it hurts so much did you just want to give up on it?

i'm kinda curious because i sometimes think about just giving up on love and its beauty.
being hurt so much after being in a relationship (or not being in one at all) you just want to stop loving all together.
i know not all of us think alike, but you know opinions appreciated.

this isn't about me, it's about who's tried and thought of it.
i'd like to hear and read what you soompiers have to say.

yuuuuuuup
when you finally are able to give up, comes knocking on your door again

[marvinoppa]

yes. i was deliberately single for 3 years. i didnt even date during that time.

[VC-veronica]

yeah, I think about it now and then.
I was going to,
but I found out that I really couldn't just give up that easily =/
I can't give up the chances that I could have ><"

[L.FOR.LOVE]

when you tryand give up, it usually comes back looking for you
and you go in the same circle over and over and over again >_>

[imtoghai]

Yeah, I think about it alot. I've thought about living by myself and what not. Well, I'm not really giving up, maybe just losing hope.

[watcher]

i've thought about it a lot of times...
but u know, i don't think we can live without it.
not so much because we need to receive it
but oddly enough, we feel emptier when we're not giving it

[EHNerJI]

yep. that didn't last long >_>;;
damn infatuation LOL.

[Antz]

nope. never. i've found it and i don't want to give up on it any time soon.

[Ayuu~]

yep! numerous times.. for the same guy.. *sigh..
but i alwayz fail in giving up on love...

[kevirushi]

Yup, I have. Recently, I gave up on love for education, which is a good thing... I guess...

[Lovin' you]

I was trying to give up on love just 2 weeks ago, but he came back and started to talk to me as if we were just talking the other day.
I wanted to so bad, but i can't! Love overpowers me. Haha
I gave up trying to giv up on love. O.O

i agree on what L.FOR.LOVE says. :x

[ichigo.<3]

I think everyone tries or thinks about giving up on love at least once in their lifetime.
In the end I think we all know its too hard to actually achieve.

Yup i have tried many times, but i still can't give up.

I fell in love with my close friend, Rachel, on a cruise last year on Dec 2 2007. It was certainly unexpected to see her there, so we chat for a while before seperating to go for dinner. At night, i suddenly thought of her again and realise that i missed her and after that, i fell in love with her.

When the holidays were over, we went back to school and things started to unfolding. I love her very much, and i treated her really nicely. I helped her do her homework, buy her food and drinks, and i even took up piano lessons so i can play a love song for her. She knew that i like her. One day i told rachel's best friend, Serena, that i am in love with rachel. After talking for a while, she told me that i should give up because she thinks rachel may not accept me. A month later, i really felt like giving up, i sort of think that she will not accept me. Then on 8 April, i finally had the courage to tell her that i love her. She didn't reject me, but she also did not accept me and said that she sees as time pass, maybe she might like me. So i waited, after months of trying to win her heart, and judging by the way she treats me, my hopes were really high. She says she is considering me. I have become really deeply in love with her.
Just few weeks ago, she told me that she did not like me, so i felt rather heart broken, and did not talk to her for a few days. Now i am talking to her already, and we became even closer friends. I still love her though

[Judith]

yep i'm trying. Love just makes my life more complicated.

[jho]

Yes, but it's temporary. I think most of us here on this forum are too young to give up on love anyway.

[vienna]

i have.

now.. i only love myself.

<3

[Myuni]

Uh, I never really believed in love. >.> Always thought it was something useless. xD;;
I saw it more as a tool to actually mate, but meh now I'm searching for love. lol It's rather lame. =/ But, I yeah, I have. =/ And I am, mainly because it gets in the way for my purpose to get to Uni. = = And I know, it's kinda impossible. xD But, I suppose I'll let it flow. =/

[tifachan]

I thought about giving up on love because I was screwed over before.
But needless to say, not all of the male species are the same. There's someone out there who will appreciate you for you are.
So I'll keep looking.

[lemoncake0910]

yupyup~ i have thought about giving up and have gotten sick of it and want to be alone, or independent.
i've even thought to myself that i suck at love... and that it's not something for me...
like the things I see in dramas and movies... they won't happen to me... and they're not real.
