Have you ever had to show someone how to love?

[Daniela1982]

Some people are naturals at showing love, and sadly, some have to be shown how because they were never taught how to growing up.

[ArtemisSilver]

You can try but some people are just too emotionally stunted or damaged.

You don't want to pour effort down a drain for too long or you'll have nothing left.

[Daniela1982]

Sounds reasonable.

[Daniela1982]

True. Better to use Draino.

True love is the choice to take the action of seeking the better for the other, not the fleeting emotions. As such it is easy to show, practically.

No, but my wife showed me how to do it. I never had a real loving relationship before and never even saw one up close.

[Zolly99999]

Yes. I had a girlfriend once how was terrible and showing affection.

Dude if they don't know how when they're an adult I'm not going to be able to change that. This isn't a Disney movie.

[Daniela1982]

Well it's just like sex. You've got to learn it from someone.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah, your mom. Your mom is supposed to teach you love.

[Daniela1982]

That's funny as so many mothers have been killing their children as seen in the news, and we are not talking abortion here.

[Juxtapose]

Must suck to have a shit mom then.

[Juxtapose]

Mine has been great but she's 63.. I'm scared to lose her because nobody is going to love me like that again.

[Daniela1982]

Well I hope you show your appreciation to her and tell her you love her often. A lot of moms are just taken for granted by kids.

[Juxtapose]

Oh I do :)

[msc545]

I am not sure I know how, at least with people, so no.

[Massageman]

HOW to love, or how to MAKE love?

[Daniela1982]

I didn't ask "make" love. How to love each other.

[Massageman]

Just our kids. They both learned better than I did, in my opinion.
