It's real simple actually "love and be loved" it works.

It is.

And it's the best kind too because you don't feel it or give it because you feel obligated to. You feel it because you want to.

The trick though, and I'm learning this hard lesson myself right now, is that you need to learn to love someone the way THEY need to be loved. Not the way YOU need to love them. You do that and you will find that they will also love you back in the way you need to be. Even though you might feel at first that the way the're loving you back isn't what you need......sometimes you need to give it time to realize that yes, it is indeed what you need. True love changes people for the better. It changes what used to be their nature

True love isn't taking what you want. True love is giving unselfishly what they need. In return, maybe it's karma, but in return you'll find that by being unselfish in your actions, you in turn will get love in ways that YOU need. At first it might seem that the person you're giving love to isn't reciprocating. It might be that they don't know how, they're nervous to do it, they feel that the circumstances aren't right yet, maybe they simply don't love you the way you feel you love them,.......the list can go on, but if you truly love the person in question, you won't question the possible answers too much. You'll let it be what it is, whatever it is, and hope that someday they'll see what you're doing. Loving them with no expectations of love in return.

You're loving them for the sake of it . Maybe you see something in them that no one else does. Maybe you see a part of yourself in them that needed the love and nurturing you're trying to show them. Whatever the case, just because you love someone and they don't love you back, if you know that you had a positive effect on them, that's all the love in return you really need. The love of appreciation. It might not sound like a lot, but in this day and age if you receive love from the appreciation from the love you gave..................you're loved. And if that's all they can do, accept it and realize that you just gave and received the best love people can have. Loving simply to make someone else feel good. In cases like this, love is it's own reward.

Interesting as there is a girl I'm currently chasing, I have confidence, show respect, still open a car door for a woman and even have a sensitive side of me. But I also can be a normal guy that does guy things.

I got told that I had a stick stuck up my rear end, and that I thought I was gods gift to women, because I have the above traits and that it is impossible for a guy to be both.

I've been told a lot that I'm loved. Rarely, if ever, have I believed it, though. I hope that one day I will feel that emotion for real, for what it truly is. I don't want to live in a world without love, but most of all I don't want to live in a world where it is fake.

I hope that everyone here gets to feel love at some point, and that it is genuine when you do.

Thank you for this thread. I had bookmarked it a while ago, but never responded.
I'm feeling unloved tonight and had to come back and reread it to hopefully restore some glimmer of hope.
Why is it that some people care more about their material items than they care about the person who loves them and would do anything for them? Are we conditioned in society to fear losing our material possessions more than our best friends and lovers? It truly seems as though people are brainwashed to believe that if the person they want to be with doesn't exist on their financial level and that of their friends' and relatives', then the relationship is not worth the trouble. I wish more people would follow their hearts and stop worrying about what others' think. So what if moving to be with the person you want to be with would cause some temporary financial set backs? I've always believed that if you follow your heart, things do work out for the best. I wish more people believed this. People would be happier and there wouldn't be so much pain and confusion in the world if they'd just listen to their hearts. Some people make things out to be more complicated than they really are. A truly mature and wise person follows their heart instead of their materialistic urges. After all, life's too short and you can't take your money and toys with you when you exit stage left. In all reality, as long as you have whatever you need to stay comfortable, the rest is fluff and icing. It's nice to have the extras, but all they do is provide happiness on a temporary basis. At least warm hugs, tender kisses, and intriguing conversations will always be valuable to a person who understand what life is truly about. Now, if I could just locate this person...

Best wishes, everyone. Hopefully the new year will be better and much more rewarding in the spiritual sense.
