Exit Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I'd say that's completely backwards, there's nothing romantic about a love that isn't reciprocal. But this type of thing is a matter of opinion. Some people choose to believe that it's super romantic when you're pining for someone and the feelings aren't returned, but that's kind of an unhealthy state to exist in. Much more romantic to have mutual feelings between two people in my opinion. Unrequited love might make for good books and movies but it's no good in real life.
fificremefarben Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Agree or disagree? Sorry, I'm a little rough around the edges today but intrigued by this post. Could you elaborate, please?
Kamila Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Only unfulfilled love can be romantic Agree or disagree? With 'unfulfilled' do you mean that one person is in love with someone that doesn't feel the same way ? Or do you mean a love relationship that breaks up because one dumps the other because (s)he doesn't feel the same way anymore and leaves the other one that is in love heartbroken... ? It's true that someone that loves the other dearly and in secret can be so romantic. Why ? Because that person puts the object of his desire on a pedestal. It's all in the head and the heart. The person sees only the good sides and how that person is terrific. It's like there is a halo all around the other. He or she worships the other like almost a God... I don't know if it's all romantic, maybe in the eye of the beholder who knows ...
shortee143 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 This made me think of a quote I saw once "the romance of unrequited love is always perfect". I take that to mean, we look at the one we love (who doesnt love us) and think everything is perfection and put them on that holy pedastal. Like if only they loved us, all would be perfect in the relationship (when in reality, that surely isnt true)
betterdeal Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 My first thought was that if you think it can be fulfilled, you think it has an end, and so it's not going to last. If you think of it as a process, a series of actions, adventures, events, there is no need for an end.
