I was just reading another thread about someone looking for love and had a thought...
All the relationships I've been in have ended badly. So I was determined to stay single ...
But.... I just had an odd thought. What if I'm missing out? What if I'm looking at it wrong?
Like when people say someone is unlucky in love because they have 5 failed relationships behind them. Are they actually LUCKY in love? They have fallen in love 5 times, that's got to be good, right?!!
Maybe I need to look at it differently. I always try to see the positive in everything, why should this be different. I had some great times with those ex's, so why only think about the bad times and how it ended....
Hmmm going to ponder.
Any thoughts?

Surely you will bump into mr right at some point just don't block him off completely...
Don't think it's luck or unlucky, it just happens to be... Don't get too worked up about it  but sorry to hear the relationships ended badly... |

I agree with the positive side and love is many things one can love more than one of your own children each one different and of varying intensities so why not with partners either concurrently or not ? |

OP - your post actually made me stop and think if I should be looking at my life in the same fashion. I too have found love quite a few times in my life and they didn't work out so I have determined that I should be forever single.
What if I do attract love though? Am I cutting off my nose to spite my face by being so pedantic about staying single (and unhurt)? After all, I'm still here, alive and getting on with life after all those failures so would another one really make much difference. As is oft quoted 'it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?'
Thank you for giving me something to think about! Perhaps it's time for me to open up and starting lusting a bit. |

All I say is.... No matter how many bad relationships you've had or how many times you've been hurt!! You should always leave yourself open to the prospect that love might come at any moment. |

All bad relationships can have a positive twist to them... 
They can make you realise what you have when that good one comes along.
It's all part if the ying and yang of life.  |

better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Look at the past as a trial run so when the right one does come along the mistakes aren't repeated.
Never close you heart to love just because the last ones didn't work out |

 Good point. You're a cool couple, one of the ones that give me hope...
For the ladies that my post got them thinking.... Weird, eh?! I'm with you. It hurts when it ends but it's good while it lasts. Never thought I'd consider anything again but I am going to be more open to the possibility.
View... You rock! You've given me the flip side. I'll think about that too.

I no longer believe one person can tick all the right boxes for me, and that variety is the spice of life.
I won't say never never, however the chances of me settling in a relationship with just one person is extremely slim.
Good job I like my own company.
Although I am alone I am not lonely.
And I am too busy to think what if's.

My friends class me as unlucky in love as been in bad relationships or good relationships that have ended badly. All I think after the hurt has eased, it has made the person I am now.. stronger and battle ready in life.
Love is a fortune you can not buy I guess and those who have it are lucky, and those who have experienced it are lucky to have their life
Enriched by it |

Well after this weekend I've decided that I'm both lucky and unlucky in love...
Friday night was spent in the arms of the fb that I have feelings for (of which he says he feels the same) and the dog goes a little barmy
Yet yesterday and today we are over and he's not talking to me...
So maybe its just not meant to be but after talking for three years and seeing each other for seven months its kind of hit me hard... But as they say what hurts you makes you stronger |

I'm definitely unlucky in love - i've only ever been in love once and it was one way!
Guys have always treated me like crap and never actually wanted me so i've kinda given up on the thought of ever being in a relationship now. Doesn't stop me secretly wondering what it would be like to be in one, a nice one i mean!
I personally think its probably nicer to be in one - the sex gets better the more you know someone - and you have someone you love to share both your fantasies etc with |

I've been diagnosed with PTSD in the past and as a result every relationship I've had has ended because of my behaviour. I'm not a loon or anything like that just seem to find opening up very difficult. But I'm still ever hopeful. If you find it I believe you are the luckiest person alive whether it ends or not never stop trying as you never know x |

Is this the point where I give the "hang in there, there is someone for everyone speech"
My grandmother told me when you do not need to be loved because you are in a good place with yourself it will come and find you.
Been married twice and I loved them both, different reasons and different sort of love but still have it |

Whilst I'm not actively looking for love, if I came across it I wouldn't show it the door for fear of being hurt...I've survived before and I can again. Difficulty is finding someone who has a similar way of thinking as me as I don't seem to be wired the same way as most people! |

I met my second wife with no intention of ever getting evolved with anyone and it just sort of crept up and grabbed me. All I know is that if you live life and enjoy it thing just kind of happen  |

Must admit after splitting with my kids father some 20 yrs ago, I never got close with anyone again. Now I am 52 yrs old and feel its never going to happen again, and that time is running out. I don't want to be an old woman with my zimmer frame tottering into the supermarket buying meals for one, I would really like to buy meals for two, just think maybe I am destined to be alone forever. If only I could drop the brick wall and let someone in but then I have yet to meet someone that I would like to have a relationship with. Think I will just stick around here for a while as its suits me at the moment |

Me too! The hard part is trying to convince them that I'm different. |
