Someone asked me this question few days ago:

If you had to choose one, would you rather love someone or be loved? I know they go together but if you had to pick only one, which would it be?

Please try to exaplain your answer.

 

Be loved, nothing worse than loving someone who doesn't reciprocate the feelings, but then the other person may feel the same way and not like it as you can't love someone.

 

I'd have to pick being loved, only because I've been the one that loved and it wasn't returned and it was a really bad time! And, being loved just feels soooo good!

 

I feel more appreciated when somebody loves me, even if they're ugly and I wouldn't want to touch them with a 10 ft. pole.

 

No doubt being loved because most women don't appreciate it when you give them all your love..

 

Either way I get laid.






















I'd rather be loved.

 

Be loved. I could say in almost all relationships, there is never an equal love. One always love a bit more than the other and being loved more than loving sometimes is a good thing. Being loved makes me feel I am not alone in this world and someone who acutally love me, while giving love is a wonder "does he/she loves me back too?"

 

Ehh...being loved when you don't love that person is an awful situation. Way too awkward. I'd rather have my heart broken than break someone elses.

 

Be loved, of course.

 

Loving somebody. Hands down.

Of course I'd want it both ways though.

 

be loved....i'm sappy...just to have somebody that just adores me is everything

 

Probably be loved since in most of my relationships for some bastard reason I was always the one who loved more Would be nice to see the tables turn every so often

 

Be loved. However, I would feel terrible if I don't love her like she loves me.

 

well like someone else said.

I would rather Be Loved. Becuase of past experience. I gave and gave it my all and .................

 

Be loved..but I am in love with myself. Does that change anything?

 

Love someone. I already love myself nightly

 

i think i'd rather love someone than be loved.

there's nothing more uncomfortable than being truly loved and not returning it back to the person. a very guilty feeling.

 

I'd rather be loved, having been on the other side of the table it would be a nice change. I do agree that if I didn't have some sort of feelings for her, then it would be really awkward- thinking about it now I must have made her feel really bad an awful lot oh well, at least I have no regrets!

 

I already love myself, so i know i'm loved. therefore i choose to love someone else. What beats giving your most personal gift to someone?

 

Me too.

I would rather love someone... but of course, it would be better if you are loved in return.

 

You are so right. I'm surprised at the responses actually.

I think the best act one can do is to truly love somebody. Wanting to "be loved" speaks (to me at least) of emotional neediness and is very selfish. 'Tis much better to give than to receive.

My hangup is I have no problem finding women who love me. Its wanting to love them back.....takes a special lady for that.

The saying is so true...if you don't love yourself you can never love another.

 

Ladies and gentlemen...we have a winner.

 

well said

 

Story of my last relationship. It was awful. I would much rather love somebody else and have them not reciprocate and just move on.

 

you had me at hello

 

"I don't know if I've ever been really loved, by a hand that's touched me............."

 

10000000000000000% agree.

 

 

yeah, being loved is the best. my first serious relationship resulted in her not loving me as much as I loved her.

 

I'm the wrong person to ask right now. I think love just sucks in general

 

^^I'm with you on this one. Love sucks bigtime!

 

Loving someone...it's in my nature to be a giver and to take care of people...that's why I became a nurse...be loved is nice, but there is nothing like making someone happy by loving them

 

totally and completely, I fell in love with someone and gave him everything I had and then he turns around and breaks my heart into a million different pieces and behaves like my love means nothing to him

 

Wow, what a bastard. If I only knew his screenname

 

I could give it to you if you really want it

 

I hate you.

Ummm... He was kidding. He was all over that get over it thread.

 

 

You'll be Ok. You can always have my E-shoulder to lean on.

 

Leave the poor girl alone

 

Yeah, I'm the one that needs to leave her alone.

If you only knew...
