Duckduckgoose Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Once you've been in love, and lost that person for whatever reason (breakup, divorce, death, murder, whatever) do you find it easier or harder to love a new person? It seems like loving another person would be easier, because you've been down the "road to love" so you already know the way. I would like to hear feedback though. I thought this would be an interesting question to post on the "dating" forum.

But I would assume that it would be difficult at first to start loving someone again, but it probably gets easier as time goes on? I don't know. I guess one would be a lot better at attracting the right kind of person, at least, since you would notice the red flags in a potential partner.

I thought this would be an interesting question to post on the "dating" forum. What I've discovered is that it is easier to weed out the @ssholes and the relationships that are going no where because I HAVE experienced true love and a good relationship. I was in an 8 year relationship with a man that I loved more then anything. Before I met him and fell in love with him, I dated douche bags and stayed with these douche bags because I didn't know that there was something better out there. As ridiculous as that sounds, that's how I was. I was young and stupid. That relationship ended and now being back in the dating scene, I know what to look for in a potential partner and I know what NOT to settle with. So if things aren't going in a certain direction or if the guy is a D-bag, I jump ship and don't feel badly about it. Although the pain of the breakup of the 8 year relationship almost killed me, I'm so thankful I experienced true love and a long term relationship.
