Do you believe in love at first sight?

Recommended Posts

I think there exists something beyond mere lust at first sight, but I certainly wouldn't call it love. Love takes time and knowledge of each other, and that's simply not possible right off the bat.

I have become way too cynical lately. So no, I don't believe in it anymore.




Cynical? Why?

. . . And does sex at first sight count?

I did......once upon a time:|



Yeah me too... but now the only kind of true love out there is the love a parent has for a child (well most parents, but thats another thread) and vice versa.. Love between a man and women is pure and total bullshit in its truest form....:S

Just because you are jaded from past experience doesn't mean that you can write off all male/female love.... think of it this way, my mother beat/molested me... is that 'true love from a parent to a child'? Is it representative of what normal parental love? I sincerely doubt it.

Thats why I put this" (well most parents, but thats another thread)" after I made that statement. There are some people out there who should face a firing squad for what they did to their kids. All I know is I loved my ex unconditionally for 10 years, forgave him time and time again (maybe that was dumb on my part,) but isnt that what true love does? I don't think I will ever get invovled in another serious relationship, it just takes too much time and effort. And for what to be lied too, cheated on, abused?

You are taking a man who acted the same way as an abusive parent... taking an anomaly and making it the norm in your head.

There are men out there who have been badly hurt by women. Do you want to be written off by those men in the same way that you are writing off the potential of love? Should you never be given a chance because someone else made a mistake (or long series of mistakes)?

Relationships take two people.... if yours is over, it's only because both of you picked the wrong person for a time. For now, get to know yourself better and enjoy the freedom, but there will come a day when you're ready in yourself. It would make me sad to see you push away a truly good man in the future because of something someone else did. My husband has told me more than once 'I am not other men' when I get in the same kind of funk you are in now. He's right.

Hang in there.

I've been there too... it does get easier. I was with a guy for 10 years as well when we divorced. I promise you it does get easier.

Im sure they are out there.... and I know there are good men who have been hurt just as badly by shitty women... so why does it have to be this way? Why can't the good people find each other? Then I hear the "Im not looking for a relationship" line... which screams to me that Im not good enough to be considered for an exclusive relationship... maybe its b/c I have 3 kids who knows... I'm perfectly content with staying single until my kids are raised. I don't expect anyone to be with me to help me take care of my kids... They are mine and I love them more than life itself, and honestly im fine with not sharing them.

I can relate to how you feel on this, as my experiences unfortunately, are similar to yours. I am begining to believe those of us that trust and love unconditionally attract people bent on betrayal. My ex should be forced to wear a warning label[:/]

It doesn't have to be this way. And as easy as it is to blame the other person, we need to take responsibility for our choices too.... you chose to stay with someone who lied/cheated for so long. I chose to stay with a guy that beat on me for 10 years. After the first or second lie, the first punch... it is our responsibility to make better choices and get out of the situation.

We chose the people we are with. I chose much better the second time than the first.... you will too... you're older and wiser now ;)

You want a reality check. Go to Craigslist. It's a hoot. Apparently most of the men are looking for sex, and the women are looking for their knight in shining armour, with a list of requirements that no, one man could ever fullfil.
The woman claims that she wants a good man; "Where are all of the good men?" They are either too short, ugly, poor, out of shape, not exicting enough, aren't professionals- whatever the hell, that is. Oh, yea. Don't forget, no hair on your body. It really makes you wonder.

It is perfectly normal to feel reluctant to trust and believe in "love" again. It would be unwise to be hurt and not come out of it a little cautious. It's a defense mechanism. I do not believe in the old cliche "time heals all wounds". That is absolutely false. It's what you do with the time that heals.

I've been hurt badly by men as well. Just because I'm a little reluctant to trust doesn't mean I've written them off, it means I'm not a fool.

Good luck to you and I hope it does get better. It can truly suck at times.:(
