If you where presented with the possibility of finding happiness with a Love that you never expected but in every situation in which somone told you that they "loved you" you ended up broken and alone, lied to after they had what they wanted from you. Would you Try, is the possibility of happiness worth possible self destruction if it is just another lie?

Yes.

To truly love someone is an amazing thing. I've been there, completely and utterly in love and had my heart stomped on.

When I fall in love again, I will give us the opportunity to let the relationship grow and blossom and to be in love.

You never know what the future has in store for you.
I'd much rather take a chance and be heartbroken than to wonder "what if . . "

If you don't take that chance, you will end up alone.


Pith,
I've been reading some of your posts about the happiness and love you've found. You're lucky to have found love again. So, grab it!! (and don't think as much!!) :)

I have been hurt so many times, with relationships and friendships (so I have an idea of where you're coming from) but by not taking chances I would set myself up for a lifetime of loneliness and misery.

If I keep taking chances, I'll learn more about myself, the kind of people I want to surround myself with and be able to better choose who I want in my life.

If I don't, well, I have nothing, nothing to enrich my life.
Plus, these people who have hurt me in the past are in the past. Although these experiences have affected my life, I don't allow them to rule my life.
If you let them rule your life, you're still allowing these people hurt you.

Let yourself be happy.

Live each day in the present (a good friend told me that). Take it one day at a time and try to not look into the future.

Yes! But go in with your eyes wide open and learn from your past mistakes. You teach people how to treat you, so none of your past relationships could have treated you badly without your consent. I think you should give it a chance. Take it slow and don't punish this person for someone else's mistakes. I try and trust everyone until they give me a reason not to.

Yes, but slowly. Love is a word. Loving behavior is what counts. Distinguish between 'loving behavior' and 'manipulative behavior'. Take time. Take a good look. And take care of yourself.

Yes I'm still in love with someone even though my hearts been broken many times.....you're not alone!

Yes ,I would

No, Cuz Its Just Another Lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Don't Know I Would Take My Time But In My Current State In Mind I Say Hell Mother****in No

The pain is fresh baby. Your mind and heart are telling you to wait. You'll know when you're ready to put your toe into that water again. You won't dive in, but wade in slowly. It's ok to take all the time you need to heal, or start to, or try to.
