Is love meant for everyone?

Demonstrating love is really difficult for some people. Also, two people may want to give and receive that demonstration of love in different ways.

My wife for example needs to touch and be touched, and hear the words often. Too much of it and I'm turned off, smothered.

I show love by spending time with her, and engaging in meaningful conversations, not really her cup of tea.

There are a number of books on the subject. Look for Love Languages and you'll find them.

Love yourself first because you will find out as you get older that very very few people in this world will love you back. Many people in this world find a mate. Some NEVER do. So my answer to your question "is love for meant for everyone" is No. Never stop looking for love, however: but look for it in the RIGHT PLACES.

A verse since my younger days!

"There are plenty more fish in the sea!"

Love is meant for everyone. It's a different story if you can find it and keep it .People can love many people , in a lifetime. You are young so take your time and enjoy the hunt.

i love ur answer, mere34. and agree. i will add this: the very few who are absolute soul-mates--are nearly always completely unobtainable--or with u only very temporarily. it seems by design. and it hurts.

it says your 16 to 17.... which means you dont know love yet ok... maybe when your like 20 or something like that... yes love is meant for everyone... Except for the people who are too lazy to find it and mope aropund all day saying 'nobody loves me!'

I don't think love is real

You have to find meaning and purpose in your own life. There is plenty of love to go around in this world--romantic love is not necessarily the only form it takes. :-)

Love is meant for everyone. But you may be right in saying you have the wrong guys lined up for you.

I had a string of six and never knew until very recently.

That makes me sadder than I could have believed--that I'd underestimate myself in that way. Heh.

in order for someone to love you, you have to first love yourself - it took me a long time to figure that out

Okay - I'm going to first say that love IS meant for everyone. There is someone out there for everyone. You just have to know a balance in finding that person. If you go out looking you are NOT going to find them. That person will come in your life when they are supposed too. It's not just going to happen because you want it too. When you fall in love though - take it easy - love is fragile and it can be pushed. Don't be clingy or be to dismissive. It takes work. Every single day you have to work at it. I've been with a guy since I was 16 years old. We've been together for 11 years and married for 9. I've learned from loving him that (like I said) there is a balance. There is a certain amount of freedom you have to give a person - and a certain amount of being a couple. Just because you are in love with someone doesn't mean you have to be together 24/7 - and it doesn't mean that when you are not together they are cheating on you. I've been lucky enough to find that balance - but I can't really describe it to you. When you are truely in love and not just infatuated you'll know - and it will last - if you don't push it to far - and if you are obsessed with being in love - you'll never find it cause you'll be with someone you think your in love with - while the one is walking right by you. Just don't look for love in every one you meet. Cause it's not going to be there. I'm not going to say your young so you don't know what love truely is - because I was 16 when I found it, but you are young - have fun - date - go out with friends - and just enjoy yourself. It'll find you when your supposed to have it.

ahh i'm sorry to see you've been acquainted with unrequited love. there is a delicate balance of the lover and the beloved that when in harmony is the kind of unconditional & passionate love that inspires the greatest works of art, literature, music...basically the truest beauty & gift of this world.

a line that has always gave me perspective: never make someone your priority when they only make you an option. what that means is when you are dating someone you need to sense & gauge where that person is in the relationship. if you are the one with all the feelings, putting the energy into it, etc then its safe to say that its not working out because if they were truly into you as you were into them, they'd be meeting you at halfway. its giving & receiving. its an ebb & flow. don't be discouraged. even the greatest love has issues. the good part is you can use these experiences to grow so you can be a better partner for the next person.

To love and be loved is a basic human need. It would be really nice if the person we love loves us the same way back. But such may not always be the case. You are still young, maybe it's not yet time to focus on just one person. Suggest that you go out and meet a lot of people, in time you will meet someone who will reciprocate the love that you are so raring to express.

No. Its not for everyone.

you need to learn to love yourself before any one can love you. You sound like a nice girl, just learn to love yourself
