(click to enlarge)
Are you scared of falling in love (again) because you're afraid to get hurt?

i'm giving up on love. singleness is less tiring.
word.
yups, most definitely.
@ abcxunt@xanga
- I'm with ya on this one all the way lol.
Too much pain involved in love. Very few people willing to settle down anyways. I pretty much have come to terms with that. Once you get some one they just think that they'll find some one better. If one more guy breaks up with me and tells me three months later that I was the one that got away, I may go lesbian. Or just hate people in general.
I'm an eager beaver for falling in love. Just too picky...and painophobic. Hahaha.
It's hard to say...I don't really want a relationship right now. And I've noticed I tend to fall for guys I know I can't have. So maybe I am afraid of getting hurt again.
I'm not afdraid of falling in love. I'm afraid of falling in love with the wrong person, because I know the relationship is going to be more temporary than they know.
Nah. Love's a gamble and there's obviously the risk of getting hurt, but when you win you win big. I'll take my chances.
Schultz was a genius. It's so true.
I don't plan on ever falling in love. Even if a girl I really like asks me if I want to start dating, I'd probably tell her "not now." Romantic relationships are too much of a burden.
I'm in love and I'm lovin' it.
I used to feel that way, too. But you know what they say, nothing risked is nothing gained. To "risk" the friendship is NOT a selfish thing. I actually learned a lot from the several guys who have confessed to me (and no, I'm not very popular, but what do you know, even I had some admirers, lol). I learned that confessing your feelings can be a very beautiful thing, and as a friend, I was able to let them down gently while AT THE SAME TIME being extremely grateful and appreciative of their honesty, and for being loved to that extent. I know, I know, I just can't seem to explain myself very well, but... all I can say is... it doesn't have to become this awkward, tense, uncomfortable, resentful situation.
You can let your feelings be known in a casual, respectful, and mature manner. I don't consider it "risking" the friendship; rather... hm... testing out the waters, if you will. A true friendship should survive that, I think. (Unless you're completely infatuated with someone and have been making it known for the past ten years and aren't willing to move on, that is. In which case, you deserve to be abandoned by your friend.) Sometimes, the friendship might require the two of you taking a break from each other, but that doesn't mean the friendship has to end right there.
To me, the love I would be sharing is not worth more than a friendship, but that I want both. And if it's POSSIBLE, why not go for it? Life is too short to waste my time guessing. If I get rejected, I move on. If not... well, that's how I wound up in the relationships that I did--I wound up asking out all my friends :D
omggg everyone is so jaded. love is the most powerful and beautiful thing ever. even tho ive been hurt..i will take being hurt over and over for that little experience of love...tht great feeling was worth it. having someone care about u and to be really into someone even if it ends terribly.
but i have been guilty of pushing ppl away or sabatoging things or being afraid yup yup
poor snoopy :(
I'm not afraid to risk anything. Despite my decent qualities; I'm also loud, arrogant, ugly, crude, rough, and annoying.
Before anybody says anything: It's one thing to have low self-esteem (which I don't, despite what I'm told), but it's another to realize serious shortcomings, albeit simple ones that I'm not willing to change.
To be honest, I also don't have time to invest or waste on other people. I got my two best friends; I'm good to go.
I'm married and being in love hurts sometimes too.
@abcxunt@xanga - totally agree
yes, but i'm also optimistic about dating and finding someone i can spend the rest of my life with.
Yes. No buts. Just yes.
Clicked but it didn't enlarge...
Yes, I am afraid of getting hurt again.
Once bitten,twice shy.
aww poor snoopy :(
Completely. That's me basically to a T. I'm too afraid of getting hurt, so I won't let anyone get too close.
Or the ones I get close to, I know aren't right for me, so I set myself up to get hurt.
ya....it's extremely pain=(.....so scary and i hate that feeling....
I Love the Peanuts comics. How interesting that a childish comic can touch on such a deep topic of love and loss. I like it ^_^ Poor sad Snoopy though! I <3 Snoopy!
How does one develop TRUE Love with a snowman???
