Hopeless and Determined [I am in love]

Post Reply New Topic

So it doesn't look good. They like each other and he hardly speaks to me anymore (even in a friendly way.) I am so hesitant to speak to people but no more. I can leave whenever I want to if I make enough mistakes. They like each other and I don't know what's to happen. But I'm trying anyway. I don't know what I'm doing, but I am not losing this person without a fight.
I am tired of only coming so far. I don't know if I will make it, but I'm not going to stop myself this time. I deserve to go after happiness, even if it hurts me.

Wish me luck, WP.

I'm a little confused in your thread... I'm finding it hard to follow. You use "they" I presume the person you are talking about is in a relationship already?

Sorry about that.
Not in a relationship. But could be soon.

Better than just hopeless I guess.
Just be prepared in case things don't work out. Anyway, there's more to life than love.

My mother always used to tell me---"Hope for the best, but expect the worst" (then you are never disappointed)...The most stupid advice ever. But in matters of the heart, it may be applicable, even useful....to protect one's heart from a possible trainwreck. One cannot choose who one falls in love with. Pity. But hey, that's the way it is. Do you think the heart ever consults the head, before deciding who to love? No way. The heart is very know-it-all. My heart has led me way astray when "falling in love". Now when my heart tells me "I'm in love with so-and-so"-----I couldn't care less. Better to spend one's life and time with people where there is shared fondness, mutual interest, and recriprocal favors. People who enjoy each other's company is far preferable, IMO, to falling in love.

There's nothing worse than one-sided love. That said, I wish you the very best in your endeavors.

I wish you the best, and I hope that all goes well.
