Would you rather Love or Be Loved?

[LucidDream]

Which gives you a better feeling?
Loving someone, or being loved by someone?

[Illusional]

you always feel better when you know that someone loves you. raverboy

[blue]

it feels good to be loved and it feels good to give love its good when it goes both ways

[Elysium]

neither one is very enjoyable for me unless both are happening at the same time

[Kiechi]

Being loved, but being able to return it is an even better feeling.

[GBRaul]

I agree with Elysium. Neither is good until both come at the same time (to and from the same person too). After all, there is this saying that to love and be loved is feeling the sun on both sides. If you only feel the sun on one side, you might end up like Ross in one of those Friends episodes when he went to a tanning shop.

lmfao! nice illustration GBRaul

[LucidDream]

lmao, I remember that episode

[PAgirl7]

I think that loving gives me a better feeling. Then I don't feel like I'm taking advantage of the other person, and I know that if they don't feel the same way, it's not for my lack of trying.

[LucidDream]

Yeah, Ive both loved and been loved, but never at the same time so I dont know for certan.
But I think that I would want to be loved only so I know that I am allowed to love someone, and display it properly without restriction.

Don't quite get what you mean. Anyway, I've loved and been loved before too, and also not to and from the same person. Sigh...

[LucidDream]

I think I would like so show just how much I feel about someone, but it wouldent be appropriate to do that unless they shared those feelings

[GBRaul]

Oh, I read you. Though I think that love is something too complex to keep inside. It must be let out. And only then would you know whether or not your crush or whoever shares the same feelings.

I think it's definately harder to love someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings than it is to be loved by someone you don't love. Firstly, the saddness and melancholy that you go through by not having your feelings returned can sometimes be overwhelming, and secondly, watching them with someone ELSE can bring about unmentionable sorrow. HOWEVER, I would still rather love someone who doesn't love me, than have someone love me that I don't feel that way for. It's too hurtful. I just don't have it in me to cause that kind of pain. HOWEVER, like others have said it is much better to be in love with someone who is in love with you in return. That's de bestest!!!!

[GBRaul]

Haha... I totally agree with you Breezy.
