Will you never get tired loving someone who doesn't love you back?

I think it is really about expectations: if you expect this person to someday love you in return, you will most likely be disappointed (and at some point, tired, angry and/or resentful). But if you just love this person without expecting their love in return, and enjoy their company without trying to obligate them (a very hard thing for many to do) then you are less likely to be disappointed and let down.
Recognizing that love is a gift is the first step. And, that everyone has free will, and so you can't change their feelings is the next... try not to let your feelings for one prevent you from feeling love for another, or being loved by another. It is hard... but it can be done.

This topic- unrequieted love has inspired the greatest works of art, plays, poetry, writing etc, si firstly, dont worry, you are not alone!

i really think it depends on a couplle of things. !. If you improve your self esteem and realise that you deserve to be in a mutually loving relationship, you may tire of loving this person. Or you need to put it into persperctive if you are going to carry on loving this person. You need to try to stop it becoming negative which is very hard. It's like saying, "ok, i love X and i'm coolwith that. They are never going to love me back and that's ok." Dont waste your time hoping that one day someoen is suddenly going to look at you and realise you're the love of their life- that onll happens ion moives.

Also, when you are in a mutually loving relationship you might lose feelings for this person because being loved back is so fulfilling..

Either way, stop giving your power away, own your feelings and deal with them in a way that is not destructive for you.

I have a cousin who has loved me dearly as far back in our lives as I can recall. I do not take advantage of this situation. I am very fond of her but I do not reciprocate her feelings. There is nothing in my feelings that I can identify as love. I like her company but try to avoid situations which are likely to create opportunity. I do this in respect of her. I do not want to become entangled with the possibility of hurting her and I do not want to feel obligated by her love. Together we enjoy each other's company and frequently banter with each other and when she can she clings to me. I feel sad that this situation has arisen but I guess that's life. What does one do? She knows that my feelings are not the same as hers yet I gain the impression that she is waiting for her opportunity. A sad tale.

Can I, by the way of a postscript, raise this query. I do not feel any need to be loved; what I recognise is that in me I have the need, and a powerful one it is, to love someone of the opposite sex. It is, of course, wonderful if that person reciprocates the love; like on those occasions when the chemistry is right. Is this view and feeling unique to me; is it a gender thing; or is it a common feature?

In time yes you will--when you give more than you receive--you start to back away. I have a quote on my desk--taped to a shelf--it states "don't make someone a priority - when they only make you an option." and slowly but surely--you begin to feel that way in a relationship--when your the one that's calling and leaving a message-or sending a text-and not getting a response--it hurts deeply and you question yourself and think "why??"

yes a choked engined smoulders out but it wil keep smoking whatever until there is absolutely no fuel left to burn.

The only people I can love in that manner would be my children. No one else would qualify.

it's weird. i'm gay, but the absolute love of my life is a girl. i'll love her with all my heart 'til the day i die.

No. I just have to train myself to keep it in perspective and not let it interfere with my future chances at love.

The flame still burns but the feelings are fading into warm glowing embers of what used to be.

Love is a powerful thing, and you can never go wrong loving someone for in one way or another, it will return to you tenfold.

never..

Hopefully yo do get tired and move on to someone who loves you back. Don't you want that for yourself?

if you really love some one then i think we should not expect any thing in turn.. love unconditionally..

Regards

If you truly love them it wont fade or go away. However not being loved back takes alot out of you and drains you (its like driving a car with a full tank of gas.....the car will be faithful and work for you tirelessly, but if it doesnt get gas eventually it will quit running. If it only gets a little gas here and there it may run, but not very far or as well as it could because sediment and moisture build in the tank and gets pulled into the motor. If it doesnt get any maintenance, it will eventually breakdown and need serious repair or die altogether).

If Love is not reciprocal find another!

yes, but a certain amount of drama is essential to my very existence.

been there, done that and i got very tired of my feelings not being returned. i was glad the day came when i finally said enough.

Great analogy by IndyJoe.....I couldn't have said it better.

No. I used to be a fool that way but no more.

No never......

no i won't...not to say i won't love now...the love i feel for my true love will always be there..it has always been there..whether he loves me or not...it's not like i will ever know that either..i don't know where he's at now...but my heart feels what it wants to feel and it loves him as much now as then...i still live though.....
