To me there's a big difference between giving your whole heart and giving yourself away. If you're giving your self away that's not love, that's dependency or lack of identity or self. Wholehearted loving to me is being open, honest, authentic, and expressive in your love for your partner (not sacrificial!) I get why a lot of women don't love wholeheartedly...because frankly a lot of men don't value it and take advantage of it. But how sad to have to live your life consciously withholding a piece of your heart.
^^ i thought people were saying when they fall out of love or are heartbroken they fall apart. Like overneediness and needing someone else to feel whole is a different story and is not healthy. In the context mentioned above, it's falling apart when there is a heartbreak.
Love is emotional. When you have a heartbreak - it will hurt. Then you eventually pick yourself back up and onto the next.
Maybe I'm missing everything.
But yes, people have their own styles and essentially should do what works for them. Love how you want to love.
^how old are you and when was the last time you were in a relationship?
ok, but why cant you answer the question? i feel its relevant to know how certain peoples advice has worked out for them in real life.
i thought so
Shallow, crass, childish...I love your consistency. Every. single. thread.
Ladies cant we all just get along... This suppose to be about love... Love ya both...

mmhmm. yeah whatever. you dont see me constantly making snide comments about how you talk a whole lot of crap with very little life experience to back it up, and your opinions tend to be generally skewed toward a fantasy life instead of reality, which doesnt bode well for the existence you lead off the forum, but you sure stay quick to sneak in little jabs at me whenever you can, don't you? oh, ever so cute, ever so cute. by the way... im nothing if not consistent thanks for noticing

After my first heartbreak my mom always told me to keep a piece of my heart to myself. Don't give him ALL of it. It's a GREAT piece of advice.
I see I hit the mark.
No you're not missing anything. Some people aren't loving the way it sounds like you and I are. I would rather love deeply and deal with the possible heartbreak then love less and not risk getting hurt. Not everybody is built that way or wants that.
I feel bad for laughing but this thread has become unintentionally funny.
you dont talk to me until you can answer my question like a big girl, mmk?
Lolol my goodness at this thread!! Please let's all get along.
Yeah I just ended relationship a few months ago where my heart wasn't in it like it should have been, like I wanted it to be. That's part of the reason why I want to be with someone who at least makes me want to give my whole heart. Be like screw this - let's see what happens. That will actually be a very liberating feeling for me bc I am actually very restrained and controlled. It has allowed me to succeed in other areas of my life but not as much in my romantic life. I just need to find the right man. A man who is worthy and is able to progressively give his heart as well.
shall i answer it for you?
nothing can be changed until it is faced, you know. says james baldwin. in other words, the first step is admitting you have a problem
my siggy gif (which ive been changing every week or so) is not going to change the circumstances of your old maidish existence
im just playing with you. i dont expect you to actually have the integrity to admit what we both know is true im just teasing your audacity to give advice and perspective on the subject you probably shouldnt even be responding to me because im making fun of you. youre just showing how much im getting under your skin
im laughing because i know when i log off here, adventures await me, and when you log off, scandal and a bowl of popcorn awaits you
oh ambergirl... sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
