Which Is better?

[BCLG100]

Theres the phrase 'Better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all'.


I was wondering what you all think about this. Just recently split with my girlfriend (some of you may remember a thread i made awhile back well we got back together) this time for good though. Right now im under the impression that never loved at all would have been better. However i get the feeling with time this will change.

Anyway dont want this thread to turn into the whole your too young nada nada nada but was genuinly interested.

I'll put a poll in as well for poos and giggles.

I agree with you, unless your love will get you an STD.

I tend to regret the things I didn't do more than the ones I did, and I think in the long run you will cherish the moments of love you had. It may sting at first, but I would hate to go through all of life without it.

Edit: Then again, I don't have any experience in this type of thing.

Ah, break-ups... at least have one.

the whole 'it was amazing fun while it lasted stance'? yer i think it might be because its shortly afterwards

 

[Urederra]

Loved and lost.

(giggles)

Never forget your first love, mine was holy and pure and she rejected me and I was crushed, I still can't quite get over it(even though it was 18 years ago) But it was worth it for the experience, I think; my second was requited, and was a deal of fun, although it lead to embarssement and recriminaiton.

Definitely better to regret your lost love than to have little in the way of love, if at first you don't succeed try try try again. Man If only I could follow my own advice

 

[King Flevance]

Loved and Lost. The losing part really sucks but to know that the feeling is possible will indeed change your life. Of course, it could make you bitter. On the other hand I am glad it didn't for me.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Not compeltly sure i can answer this straigh, without a bit of bias. My g/f of 4 years just broke up with me.

But loved and lost.

 

[Abaddon]

the period of sadness that comes with a relationships collapse is worth mere moments of falling head over heels.

 

[tomsnowman123]

Let's ask Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.

 

[Elta]

It's better to have loved and lost then to have lost your love in a tokyo subway station where the crowds slowly pull you away from each other like a violent undertoe even thou you are both a head taller than everyone else there and you
slowly fall farther and farther away intill you call and meet at the mcdonalds (been up puting new stuff in my room and postin 25+ hours sorry)

Yer and in years to come ill look back and i'll remember how happy i was during the relationship far more than how sad i was after it-shame it isnt in a few years time though

 

[ybbor]

Don't think I'm old enough or expierenced enough to give a qualified answer, but I would venture that the virtue of loving and losing decreases the more it happens (i.e. it is much better to have loved and lost your first time than your 500th)

 

[Syterion]

In the end you'll definitely regret never having loved more.

 

[steviejay]

loved and lost. definately. The first episode of That 70s Show Season 4 is one of my favourite

 

[BCLG100]

azz/bill how come you say never loved at all?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Being in love is part of the human experience. If youve never experienced love, you cant be a whole person. There are two sides to love. The first and most important is to love, and the second is to be loved.

 

[GoldEagle]

I'd rather have loved (and gotten laid) and lost than to never have loved (or gotten laid).
