The Pain Of Being A Hopeless Romantic by Reborn5: 9:53am On Nov 10, 2015
so, gather round children and let me tell you a story. I know I am not the only guy who loves too much, and I definitely know am not the only one who has gotten hurt in the process.

I am a hopeless Romantic and it hurts like hell.. once I like a girl, I mean really like a girl, I would go out of my way for her, trust me all out, I give my all, I am there for her, I listen to her vent, I chill with her when she's ill, I tell her or love her and I mean it, name it All but then boom heartbreak. this is when it becomes annoying, because the thinking starts, I try figuring out what I did wrong, why a girl I like will tell me she can spend the rest of her life but go nack someone else... I analyze and analyse till my mind becomes weary n I get distracted in real life.... affecting my work and what not.

so in my definition, from what I have gathered I am a modern day nice guy, when I like a girl I just wanna make her happy and talk to her ever day... there maybe other girls but there is always this one girl... and the last one girl In my picture told me along the line her feelings for me became like that of a family member... somebody say ouch..

This is someone I would have done anything for according to my capability .... the girl before this I actually liked told me she wasn't ready for a relationship, and strung me along using me for emotional and other support whenever she needed and as always I was always there. then a few months later she tells me she just broke up with another bf.... and m like when exactly did u have a bf and why was I the last to know? well she didn't wanna hurt my feelings she says.... wow who knew my feelings mattered...

so maybe I have bad luck, but in my analysis my problem is simple... I love till it is taken for granted, I care too much, I don't play games and maybe it becomes boring along the line....

maybe I started this thread to vent, or probably have too much time on my hands or maybe I need to find others like me with fragile hearts, male and female alike.... where are you guys? come relate with me, come tell I am fine, and come tell me I am not alone, you who treat us this way u are also invited, come tell us why, feel free to diss me but I can't help being the way I am, but for the time being.... all ye folks with fragile hearts come tell me your stories and let's all become heartless together.

We are bound to receive such treatment. But we have to learn that there are times we need to make them realize we can live without them (which we actually can).

You are not alone bro! We are in this together.

Not all Nigerian guys are same...and that you didn't feel a dime about men doesn't mean they are not flexible.

Men are humans too. We want to be treated like a baby, hear sweet words, ask us on a date, make surprises for us.
But hell no!!! This is the society and nation where they think ONLY THE WEAK MEN ASK HER WOMAN TO PAY FOR A DATE!

I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, but like you said, up to a certain extent. For me, the rose coloured glasses come off when I feel unappreciated or taken for granted. I give my all because I cannot do things half-ass. Excuse my French. I'm very black or white in my thinking & actions. Either I'm all in or I'm all out. And I expect the same in return. I can't be playing games & wasting my time. However, when I see that someone is not on the same page with me, I have no problem shifting gears & move from being a fool in love to total indifference in a snap. It's like there's an inner on/off switch to my love nature. When it's on, it's burning hot & all consuming, but when off, then I just don't care. I wouldn't have it any other way though because I love the high of being in love. It makes me feel alive. I can't imagine walking around feeling all psychopathic & emotionally numb. I might as well be dead. I want to FEEL, good or bad it's alright, just as long as I'm feeling something grin

Women aren't complicated, our feelings just get in the way of what we WANT to do rather then what we SHOULD do. We want to rub their feet and build statues of them. We should demand respect and reward them only for good behavior. True passion can only be achieved when the man is willing to walk away at a moment's notice. After all, if you say "I love you!" after a coffee date, then the passion is gone because you have shown that you will not walk away. Flowers and gifts should be used as a REWARD, not as an item to BUY her affections. When a woman treats you with indifference, you challenge her. When a woman treats you with disrespect, you punish her by withdrawing your affection and time. When a woman treats you well with respect and the affection you want, you reward her. I think the solid line of thought that will get you as many girls as you want and keep your relationships bright and fiery is: Do not have desire.
