Slow down! Love is far less likely to be there when you're focussing so hard on looking for it. Live your life, enjoy your life, and love will find you as YOU grow.

I feel the same way

Ya...but don't you ever feel so lonely that it hurts? I can only wrapp my arms around myself and stare into the vacant darkness. I want someone who will allways be there... but i'm so afraid to be hurt like all my ex.'s hurt me.

Yes, finding the "right" person can make things wonderful, but don't downplay all the other people in your life. Friends and family are also big needs that are easy to forget when you're thoroughly consumed by a boy/girlfriend.

The reality is that the only person who will always be there for you is YOU, so take good care of yourself and your support networks. Manage that, and that special someone will come seeking you. When you know you're going to feel particularly lonely, make plans. Hang out with friends. Watch a good show. Even though it can be hard to resist at times, sitting and focussing on how lonely you feel doesn't really do much to help you. When you can, spend that energy elsewhere.

You know something that really helped me when I was younger and feeling so desperate to have someone special in my life was writing. I used to write stories about female characters that I wished I could be more like, and about male characters who would help me overcome my inner barriers. Especially when you have a bad past with boys, sometimes just writing about a make-believe situation can help you work out some of those bad feelings. I always felt better after writing for a while, and it even helped me become a much better writer in school and at work. Try it. Keep it saved in a secret place and keep it only for yourself. It will be like taking your feelings and exploring them in a whole new way. It may also help you realize what you're really looking for sometimes, because often we fool ourselves into thinking that "this thing" will solve my problems, when really it has little to do with the problem to begin with. Good luck.

Well you just don't find love around the corner lady. All do respect, it takes effort and work to make love happen. It takes two, meaning you AND your soon to be boyfriend or guy your interested in. But before we get into the word love, first find a man with good interest and skills that you can be into. Looks are somethings, but it really takes the inside of a guy to show you how he really is like. In other words, looks aren't just everything. He could be the hottest thing on the block, but could be the biggest ****** bag of all time. So take your time with guys and go on small dates until you find a guy that interest you, NOT SEXUALLY. Because if your just looking for a good looking guy for sexual fun and not the real meaning of love, then whatever. But sorry to get off topic and I didn't mean to offend you since I see millions of people each day abuse and misuse the meaning of the word love.

Just find a guy that can keep your interest, fall head over heels after months of seeing this guy, then theres your love :)

I'm a 17 year old guy which has never experienced love before, but I'm urging to find that type of girl somewhere out there just right for me. Good luck anyways!

Love....

Lets just say you will notice when you meet the one for you, when your with them it will bring you BEST qualitys out in you, your really happy around them, no one matters but them!

a girl i met back in April when i see her i just want to be with ehr, but as she is seeing someone that makes it more difficult now. But she knows how i feel about her and she said she felt the same way. When you cannot be with this person it makes you feel worthless. But if you stay good friends with him/her your time will eventually come round.
just dont let anyone come between you! As that can really mess things up, trust me that happend a week or two ago :(.

So thats love!!!

first of all there's really no such thing as the perfect guy or girl its just what people tell themselves when they are deeply in love when really nobody can be perfect and we all know that. PS if a lot of guys you find just don't make a good match for you then try looking for one in another social group. If you just can't someone that satisfies you maybe you need to lower your expectations and try to accept it if ur guy has some sort of quality you dont like, after all nobody is perfect.
