Have you given up on love?

[Anonymous]

[Crimsyjo]

I'm in heart break (yet again 🙄) cos of love but i really can't give up on trying. Maybe I will never find it but if I don't try that becomes a absolute instead of a possibility...

[HawkPerception]

Love that outlook. It's the same here

[Crimsyjo]

@HawkPerception awwww I'm sorry if u feeling way I am over someone right now... 😔

[luvstoned4him]

Yea

Tired of trying, putting myself out there and meeting only douches and F'boys

I would gladly accept arrange marriage now , thank you 🙏

[Asker]

Samehere, i hate people who only want hookups or just ghost me after a few minutes 😤

[luvstoned4him]

@Askee annoying as hell

[Asker]

People are becoming more cowardly now

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker it appears so

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker I met a guy a month ago he only wanted sex then when I told him I was a virgin and rather something serious. He put more pressure for me to lose it. He said he wants to have sex and doesn't mind that am a virgin but he would just make my first time special

[Asker]

I wouldn't do it if he's pressuring you

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker I don't plan on but then he brings those stories along the lines of " you are getting older, you should really get rid of it soon"

[Asker]

Yep, He's desperate and wants your cherry 🍒. That's a red flag

[Asker]

Red flag from him*

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker I believe he can get sex cause he's hot but now it's like he made it his soul purpose to get my 🍒

[Asker]

Probably after he pops your cherry 🍒 he's probably gonna ghost you

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker sounds just like a F'boy.

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker I don't mind losing it in a committed relationship filled with love tho. Like most people think am stuck up and use my virginity as some sort of ego booster but truth is I really don't wanna be used.. 😨

[Asker]

I would be scared and concerned. If you're with the right person, he's supposed to make you feel like you're home. If you wonder or have doubts. That's not a good sign

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker yes you're right. I feel uneasy, he's pressuring , doesn't respect or acknowledge my concerns and only seems hyper fixated on sex

[Asker]

I sent you a DM

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker ok

[Crimsyjo]

Yes it's a mission for him now. Don't give in!!

[luvstoned4him]

@Crimsyjo thanks, I won't

[AI Opinion]

I'm all about keeping the fire of love alive, even when it seems like the rain's pouring down on your parade. Giving up on love? Not on my watch! Love can be like a game of hide and seek. Sometimes, you're "it," tirelessly looking under every rock and behind every tree for that special someone. Other times, you might feel a bit hidden yourself, tucked away, wondering if anyone's out there looking for you. Remember, every love story has its own timing, its twists, turns, and magical moments. Let's not close the book on love just yet. Instead, let's believe in a bit more magic, a few more surprises, and who knows? Maybe love's just around the corner, waiting for the perfect moment to surprise you. Keep your heart open, and let's turn the page together on this adventure called love. 💖

[Finchie40]

No , because without love , we really have nothing else to live for , just because someone broke your heart? , it doesn’t mean someone else can’t fix it and love you the way you you deserved to be loved , The only people that have a hard time experiencing love , are selfish people that only care about themselves that only want things to go their way , sadly they will never experience love unless they learn to remove selfishness from themselves to give to someone else.. Yes they can choose to love themselves but they can’t choose someone else to love them , sadly they will die alone.

[Crimsyjo]

Well said x

[Chthou95]

Love is not a gurantee for everyone. It's a want but not everyone gets it. The only gurantee in life is death

[Crimsyjo]

@Chthou95 no ots not a guarantee and I feel that hurt now as I seek it but it's still something people want and seek. And ok some people give up on it but find it in different ways - through friends, family, animals, charity. It's not the same. But giving love and feeling valued for it can give purpose in life.
And purpose is everything. I'm not scared of death and sometimes seeked it in my most lowest times, but trying to fight for a better life is important. As death will come whether you lived it well or poor.

[Howdy13]

I feel like I have now. I just don’t feel much interest from anyone, and no one really ever seems to be interested in me either. I just don’t know what else I could do atp. I’ve never been good enough for anyone but at least I still think I’m good enough for myself.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I definitely don't want that to happen to me and I try my best NOT to. Because if I let myself give up on love, then not only will I be depressed, but it also means that I never even gave myself a chance to even try it yet. Plus, I know I believe and value it. Someone help me if I ever even think of giving up on it.

[ManInChains]

Yes. 10 years ago, and solidified that decision in 2018 after a false accusation and ex parte ppo. Kept myself single thanks to all of the internet demonization/antagonization calling me an incel and misogynist which has helped my goal to remain single for almost the entirety of my 20s and hoping to make it through the entirety of my 30s alone as well. I think if something happens again involving a woman... I'll probably resort to abuse

[disappoint3d]

Whoa

[ManInChains]

Only being honest. It's my only best quality

[Matt_M]

Then it's probably better for everyone that you remain single. Because men who abuse women deserve to have their teeth kicked down their throat -- and any man worth his his salt would be more than happy to do it. Just being honest.

[ProbablyClueless]

No, not at all. At worst, I would say that my experiences searching for love have been exhausting. There are just so many people who are totally off-base when it comes to love. It's still worth searching for someone who gets it though

I think that interpersonal connections are the most important part of life.

[Insecure2]

I have these moments when I feel like totally giving up on love, but then suddenly I feel lonely and I wish I had someone to share my day and worries with and I think I would like to fall in love.

[Crimsyjo]

Me too!

[avery58]

No but as of right now I'm completely disappointed in it and wondering if it's even a realistic expectation in my generation

[Crimsyjo]

Not just your generation hun!

[paledreams]

Sure yet who hasn't lol 🤣😆 on the plus side, I find my adult life in my 30s busy enough with work, family, friends, obligations, chores, errands, shopping - life's busy as it is and I ain't complaining that it is, busy 🌌💁🏻‍♂️

[paledreams]

Asker - I'm glad to see mostly 30s answering : you won't catch many 20s people answering here lol

[Unit1]

Yes. When i was 15 years old.

At 29 years i met her 😍

I Downloaded her. Now i play with her.

[FunkyMonkee]

Pretty much! More like, it's given up on me!!

[morganherrel]

I've almost given up, which I think is healthy given how unlikely it is. But I maintain an open mind and sliver of hope.

[MoonFace2]

No. I just haven’t decided whether or not I can be bothered to be in a relationship, when I’ve got it pretty good as a single woman.

[disappoint3d]

In a way, yes. Though real Love is more about finding someone who will hold it down with you through the shit than finding someone who gives you butterflies.

[MittParekh15]

Honestly yes, love today has become more of material thing like people marry for money etc

[ChicoFromThe305]

No I don't give up on love but Im not currently looking and probably won't for a while.

[Anonymous]

Sometimes we need to give up on the person we love and open ourselves to new loves. Instead of wanting the impossible, we should be realistic.

[luvstoned4him]

@Asker that's what the F'boy told me but he doesn't want anything serious so I guess am back to square one

[Opinion Owner]

@luvstoned4him
You are doing the right thing. It is best to forget the past and open yourself to new love possibilities.

[luvstoned4him]

@Anon what if I don't love these possibilities?

[Opinion Owner]

@luvstoned4him
It is necessary to continue until you find the right person. It is better to stay single for a while than to marry the wrong person and get divorced. However, one should not be overly picky (for both men and women).

[luvstoned4him]

@Anon you're right

[Clara4567]

Yes , given up on it when I was 14 years old, so I don't expect it to come in my life and I am OK with that because I accepted it.

[HawkPerception]

14 years old? You weren't even done with puberty at 14 and you're gonna tell me you gave up on it when you just became sexually attracted?

You can't seriously believe you were incredibly wise to make such a decision at 14.

[Clara4567]

Why talk about sexuality if the question was about love? I don't believe in love and I never did and it doesn't have anything to do with puberty...

[HawkPerception]

Usually girls get jaded from love because of sexuality. That's why. And it does have a lot to do with sexual attraction. You can love someone platonically, but sexual intimacy deepens the bond.

[msc545]

Yes, at least in the US - women only care about control and power and money.

[Crazzyyworld]

It looks like everyone is after money or sex. I don’t know if there is love?

[Tomisworthless]

No, I never pursued love, I get more attention by being disliked

[Anonymous]

Nope. I'm just giving it the attention it deserves.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. The existence of love is #FakeNews.

[Twalli]

Not looking, because I found my one.

[chocolatetwopointo]

yes men only want sex

[Jmmmfi4]

UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE

[Kingofkings1992]

Long time ago.

[Ohhmandy]

[Anonymous]

It never existed for me to begin with.

[LiamJHayden]

[Bẽllã3]

[beefcakebradybatson]

[noohair]

Fornication Nation

[daddyslittlemonster]

here's a big Y E S

[shattered420]

Yep.

[paledreams]

It's that hitting 30s isn't it? I hit 30 this year - i don't have a Bumble no more lol not even other dating platforms. I'm "retired" humbly from the dating scene 😂

[shattered420]

A little bit is turning 30, a little bit is realizing that "love" is what your willing to put up with.

[paledreams]

I'm like forget that lol 😆 silly petty me , anyways I'm enjoying single life bliss , a girlfriend never gets on my way ❤️

[shattered420]

Good for you

[paledreams]

I hope you're well also 🤕🥳

[paledreams]

Thank you kindly. 🌝👀

[shattered420]

Thanks

[Cheerfull009]
