Do you agree with the cliche that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Question

I don't think I do

Depends on the person.

Some people get extreme fulfillment from romantic love, and for those types it's probably better to have understood that feeling for real and lose it rather than never know what it's like. It motivates you to keep looking. And if you never find "the one", at least you can re-experience that authentic feeling vicariously through characters in books/shows rather than having to guess at what it's really like.

Other people aren't built to be that crazy about it. For that type of person, other aspects of life eclipse romantic love so much so that it might be like dying never having snorkeled in the Bahamas for them. Probably pretty cool, and maybe a bit of a bummer not to have done it, but otherwise not necessary for a happy life.

No, I don't. If you love someone, you want to be with them. So therefore that statement doesn't make any damn sense at all.

However, I do think it's better to go on one date (without sex, of course), then to never meet at all. Because you can still have happy memories from one date without developing an attachment.

Love is a beautiful feeling it works like magic and treatment for many, it change the person into a better and responsible one. It enhances the confidence in themselves that yes I can be get loved for this reason. This makes the person to know about themselves their good side, bad side strength and weaknesses. It also unfold our hidden power and hidden strength we are unaware of. So it's better to get feel loved at least once in life.

I agree that it's better to experience different things than not to experience... Even if sometimes they hurt AF

lorenzomichael · Answer

No because that would only mean that you only loved once in your lifetime. So if you don't plan on falling in love again then I guess it does apply. But for me I fell in and out of love several times in my lifetime before I married my wife whom I'm still in love with.

No. I think it's better to have never loved at all. When I look out into the world and I see how most people are. Most simply are not worth investing in. Most women are going to chew your world up and vomit you out.🤮 It may not be fun to be alone. But it's much better than any half hearted attempt at love from what's out there.

Disagree. For men, having loved and lost means you lose everything. Not just the potential life partner but your resources and even kids if there are kids involved. Better to have never loved at all

Seinna · Answer

Yes, I do. Can you even say that you've lived if you haven't loved?

Nikki1989 · Answer

Only losers, quitters, and people that are failing miserably at life would not agree with it.

exitseven · Answer

I disagree. It all sounds good until you live it close up/
