is this a good idea?

Even though you said that you only give 7 out of 10. I'm sure you went over and above for her. It is in our nature to do so but don't feel bad if you do because we're only human w/emotions. I'm never the type to hold back feelings for someone. If I like/love them. I always give 100% in efforts and in love. If he don't love me in return it's okay. I'm not going to blame him for not feeling the same way toward me. I'll just take it as it wasn't meant to be and move on.

So, another word.. it's okay to fall in love and it's okay to get hurt. Sometimes when you don't show enough they'll leave you too because they might feel neglected. Then what? How would that make you feel? you'll probably be wishing that you've shown more.

Good point, but if a girl is un willing to accept a 7 love and affection from me then she can go, there'll be plenty others who will want it.  Im only doing what's best for a relationship.

Indeed. Honestly, if someone really wanted to be with you.. you don't even need to show that much and they will still stick with you regardless.

not true, everyone needs some attention and love to stick around.

why do you think some people still stick w/others even though that jerk doesn't show much love from the beginning? Is because they love that person way too much..so they just accept whatever they have.

True, there are some peole like that out there, I call those people pathetic and stupiiid.

It all depends on you.  Generally, I'd say 80-20.  80% open to your significant other, 20% to yourself, give or take.

Realistically, people need challenge or mystery, something to admire.  That one of a kind special person in the world.  If you open yourself up completely and they know you completely, chances are they can get bored with you sooner or later.  Again, that all depends on people and people don't stay the same, we all change with time.  Keep your wits and charms about you (that's the other 20% *wink*).

Love isn't something you control.

You could try, but that's just your mind fooling you.

[r3b1rth]

You lie lady_fallin! 

You CAN control love... with the powers of the eyes.  Shhh, close your eyes... feel your heart beat (beat) now, look deep into my eyes... can you feel it?!!  It's called ...abusive relationship teehee.

It's good to fall in love but don't fall too deep, cuz you might not be able to get up once fallen?

 

[SpottedCow]

do it big or go home.   

Agreed!

Go all in or all out, rookie.

(however, during the course of going all in, remember to have potential investments on the side incase sudden dramatic decline of the main stock.)

It is not worth it if you don't love deeply, with everything you have.  You're either in or you're out.  You're either hot or you're cold.

When it doesn't work out... just be strong.  All breakups hurt but that which doesn't kill you... you can keep on living.  Easier said than done.  But "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
