Loving Passionately

What does loving passionately mean to you?

Here is a quote I think sums it up for me:

I know it's a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

-- William Parrish (Meet Joe Black)

Relationships are great. They are wonderful. You have a passion, a caring for someone that is limitless, and you know they have that same passion for you. You know that they are ecstatic and giddy just being with you, and you with them. You hope they feel they got the better end of the deal, that they feel they don't deserve you, because you're too good, because you know that's how you feel about them. You can be hurt instantly, because you left yourself completely vunerable, as they have with you. You can spend an entire day with them doing nothing, and it will be one of the best days you can remember. You can stare into their eyes, and they into yours, and neither of you can not help but smile, because of the joy you bring each other.

Those quotes are alright as long as the love is returned.

Unfortunately, I am the type who fell madly in love with the 'wrong' type of girl - most usually girls who were looking for a shoulder to cry on, or a Father figure.:D

I've known lots of different loves and all of them were unique in their own way. Some were much more passionate than others. Though, the last few relationships haven't been very passionate. I'm starting to think that it is my fault. That I'm... hmmm... emotionally boring. lol I don't know. But real love and passion seems so rare. I can't remember the last time I saw it up close.

We liked Hopkins whole "lightning may strike" speech from "Meet Joe Black". That's not a bad way to look at it.

Some people have said that the "fire that burns twice as bright lasts half as long". While that may be true in chemistry or astrophysics, we believe that "fire" and "passion" are absolute musts in any romantic relationship worth having. Otherwise, you might end up with a sort of passionless, luke warm relationship where two people stay together simply out of habit, or because they can't find anyone better. How dull.

And we would prefer no relationship to a dull one. Even one a series of one night stands can be meaningful. But maybe this is all just a matter of taste. Different people look for different things in a lover. Best to be compatible with whoever you find.

:confused: Love is hard to understand. You can love someone so much it hurts- then turn around and not feel love for that person at all....

But if you can laugh together... you got love

That's sad, Snowbear, because I wore that teeshirt when I was in my early twenties, and I know how I felt. Loving passionately is O.K - as long as the feeling is reciprocated.

Sometimes I'd like to reflect Snowbear's feelings. In fact most of the time. But with so many successful relationships around me it would be difficult to feel that completely.

I've found, personally, that a broken heart is often the result of low standards. If you raise them then you date less, go out with people who are better suited to you and as a result have a better quality time. Unfortunately the result of a broken heart is often the lowering of ones standards. Its a bit of a nasty vicious circle.
