Is someone loving you in a relationship very important to you or them liking you and being with you is enough for you?

Love: if its 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 principled love, then I don't expect too much. And it's not really important in a sexual relationship.

Like: if its like "David and Jonathan" or "Paul and Banabas", then yes, I can't build a relationship without such. But such relationship is NOT necessarily sexual.

Romance: its definitely like the couple in the Song of Solomon. Sex is not merely for reproduction, but for pleasure and carnal joy. It MUST be there and for me, a born vagina owner.

Concluding, I need "like" + "romance" to start dating a girl in hope to have sex with her as end point. And I expect likewise from her. But in this age of selfish promiscuity, I don't expect "love". The relationship WILL eventually end, particularly when "the flame of God" dies.

Them liking me and choosing to be with me is enough for me.
I'm not the authority on how someone else should experience romantic attraction.

If they are as sure about continuing whatever it is that we are having as I am and they treat me with the same amount of respect and loyalty, then I don't think it would bother me what they choose to call their feelings.

All the girls said no and some of the guys said yes, and people say women are the ones desperate for relationshipsGet some self respect, guys

If we’re not looking to fall in love then why be together? I’m not looking for friends/fwbs

[Jjpayne]

That's tough... I'd say liking could be enough... They would be my friend basically but not my lover, maybe cuddles too and some form of affection. I'd be ok with it actually because oddly enough trust would not be that much of an issue because of her being relaxed. As odd as it seems I could marry a girl like that...

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm a very lovable person. I'm sure if she doesn't love me at first she will fall in love with me eventually.

But as long as she doesn't cheat, that's all that matters.

(HOWEVER, I wouldn't go through with MARRYING someone unless she actually loved me.)

I wouldn’t be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t love me, I wouldn’t even date a person who wasn’t in life with me.

“liking” is perfect for getting to know each other. 🌺

If there's no love then it's not a 'relationship' at all !! It's simply timepass.

[Blueberrychocolate]

Staying in a relationship with someone who does not love you is just not right... It means you lack self love...

[Avicenna]

Depends on the stage of the relationship that we’re in. If it’s a year or more, I’d hope she’d be in love with me.

Love is important

I always take relationships seriously so I'd never date for fun
So don't want that in return either

[Needtovent]

I need love to be honest. I like and spend time with my friends, a relationship I want more from

[ItsTheNephilim]

Depends on the kind of relationship. If it's a serious one, I need their love.

When you decide to ask a question in a community like this and as the sentence gets longer since you want to add every option worth mentioning but as the sentence comes to an end you remember to set necessary commas is important to me.

[Jack9949]

Gotta love me to the same degree I’m attached to them

[MysteriousDarkness]

In a relationship I wsant someone who sincerely accepts my love and sincerely gives me love.

[Ally247]
