love question

[mashmac]

Is there a point in life when you realize romantic love is not everything, they are so many other important things/loves in life and you can anticipate living without full-on romantic love? Is their a cut-off point in our lives when we just grow out of it?

Limited as my english, i don't quite understand your last question. and IMO, i kind of have experienced that point, when i was preparing for the grad school entrace exam. i was having a crush on some guy during that time, meanwhile i'm under great pressure of study. but i chose to focus on my study. and of course i suffered a lot from hurts coursed by that guy, i used to invited him to study with me, but rejected, i was very depressed, but i realized that the most important thing for me at the moment is the exam, if i do not do it well, i will probably lose my future. so i just let it be, and made efforts on my study. at last, i succeeded to enter grad school, but the guy didn't, he lose the game, soooo, we were then separated, and then two years later, he has a gf. now i might think that love is more important than study, sigh, people always cherish things which they lose or don't have.

I think it all just depends on the individual. Some people feel like/or think they NEED romance in their live to be happy and some people KNOW that they don't really have to have it to be happy and fulfilled. :)Is there a point in life when you realize romantic love is not everything, they are so many other important things/loves in life and you can anticipate living without full-on romantic love? Is their a cut-off point in our lives when we just grow out of it?

The only time was when I thought I'd lost the love of my life, Tuxie forever. I knew I'd never love like that again and felt that I would not try to. But now that I am with him again...I'm glad I have his love. It means the world to me and I'd never want to give it up.

IMHO, it's built into the human makeup to be happiest when sharing life and love with a partner. I think each individual CAN learn to live without it, and be happy.

When I thought I'd lost Tuxette, I was very sad. It would've taken me a long time to heal from that... and those of you who have lost love know this. But I have her, and I feel that somehow makes me/us complete. :D

I like it too Mashmac.

I am thinking of changing mine as well but I don't know what to. Hmmmm

I think I can live without love. I have done it so far in my life as I don't think I have actually falled in love yet, not properly. Although I do miss kisses and cuddles when I am not with someone.

Thanks for answering guys. Good positive points from all.

About AVTARS, I knew you would like this one Tuxie! And Meerkat your AVTAR is cool. I just like to rotate them....

Thats an interesting thing. I've been able to go thus far without feeling the need for another person, but lately I've moved towards needing girls in my life more. Granted, I'm only 16, but I suppose there are people who just don't need it that much. People who never get married are those kinds, or those who wish they never got married in the first place.
