    It's been said that men fall in love with their eyes and women fall in love with their ears.
    However with age comes wisdom.
    Men learn everything that "glitters" is not gold and women learn that actions speak louder than words.
    If you want something different you have to do something different.
    "Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary." - Oscar Wilde

    I raised my hand when you asked who here has fallen in love with the wrong person. The wrong person doesn't reciprocate. I am alone. There is no we against all. The object of my attention and affection not only did not feel the same, but now does not dwell among the living, but in memorial. Now, my late, lost love. It is about finding one you feel good about devoting your time to; everything else is half-stepping. You can 'mark time' only so long, then you are seen for who you are- a pretender in the relationship.

    The most important thing to me in a guy is one who’s sincere and dedicated (2 things, actually). I’m still single for 5 years already. Every time I meet someone who seems sweet, approachable and positive, even if he’s not my “dream guy” physically, I try to connect and sometimes even slightly hit on him with the remaining force of optimism within me. They either refuse or just suggest some other male friends they have, who never attract me even the slightest. So no, maybe love is not for everyone. Maybe after 5 years of trying to meet and date and do it with all the hopefulness within me, with a big smile and a self-empowering feeling that I shouldn’t give up, I finally do. It’s been a struggle, but I’m finally done with it. I only wish to succeed in life to survive financially in this hectic, violent and cold-hearted world, and keep doing the things I do best to enlighten both others’ lives and my own. A guy who truly sees me and wishes to have the most profound and ELEVATED relationship of his life, simply doesn’t exist. Believing he does? It has only caused me sorrow, a broken heart, a false sense of warmth and nothing but unmet expectations. I’m off to cherish myself even in loneliness.

    I’ve met a few elderly couples from Britain, and I was honestly surprised to realize how rarely our first love turns out to be a lifelong one. Their stories-and those of their friends-are so incredible, they could be turned into TV series. So even if you feel like you know who you’ll spend your life with, things can change drastically, no matter your age. Still, I believe the practices Bela mentioned are super helpful, regardless of how old you are.

    The problem with love is that it predates language. It's something we're programmed to do but it is being smart that prevents us from just loving. Think about it for a second. Those that stay together for life, do so because they ignore everything else. My dad was retiring from the military and mom was a stay at home mom and I'm sure it was very stressful as they made the transition between the military and civilian given the lesser income and more hour but yet they stuck together and never questioned their marriage. They've been together for 40 years. When you stop thinking, you realize what is more important.

    I’ve been trying to apply this to my dating life but even when I stay open to meeting new people, even the ones that don’t initially conjure any particular feelings in me, I still don’t connect to the right guys. Not even for friendship. It makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong. I’ve done the deep inner work and am committed to continuing with it. This is a sensitive part of my life as I truly want to be with someone I can share my life with and grow and learn and experience all sides of love with. It gets tough.

      It's because it often takes a bit of sampling to marry for willful love, rather than out of necessity or survival. All the survival traits should be there too in each partner, but now you get to also find the physically healthy plus emotionally healthy, since we're in a modern, relatively safe world (in 1st world nations).

    Dream women:
    Who loves me limitless (most imp)
    Who takes care of me/ Who is there for me always
    Who scold/ slap me for my wrong doings or bad habits
    Who has kind thoughts for not only me but for everyone
    * Its ok If she is not much attractive, not have good pleasant voice. (I never thought of these things honestly)
    What will i do :
    Love her more (obviously)
    Take care of her/ be there for her always
    Try to fulfill financial needs (all the basic needs); and also try to fullfill other money related wishes for her (i cant promise this one tho)
    Visit places holding her hand and make lovely memories
    NEVER EVER make circumstances leading to divorce or make her thing i don't love her
    Appreciate her good works and help her get rid of bad habits/ doings
    Always support her and share my every thoughts and plans with her
    NOTE: im not too good at looks and not tall. I am not rich right now i do have financial limitations for now.

    I found a love that's lasted since 1987. She's never made me happy; nobody can do that except me. She's never been mine. But it's been the most important love from someone not related to me I've known. I would be happy if I found someone I can continue to be happy with. But I don't care about how long it will last.

  • @mindfulnessasia1082
    @mindfulnessasia1082 Рік тому +2

    What happens when you begin to really love someone is that you want to please them. You don’t want to hurt that person in some way. This can be our guidance on this human journey. That we always consider when making a decision, “Is this pleasing to the Supreme Lord or not?”
    If a person feels that they want to be in the world of love and not in the world of lust, then all they need to do is hold onto the love and mercy of the Supreme Lord. This loving connection will protect you. Regularly hear and sing His Holy Names.
    We would like to share a very nice ancient wisdom quote: Pure love for the Supreme Lord is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and singing, this love naturally awakens.
