True,to lose a love can be very painful but the pain comes from the loss of a very worthwhile and fulfilling experience.

When you love and lose, each loss creates a lesson learned. And those lessons are valuable throughout your whole life. Experience is value. And with each loss, you come out strong and going through a heartbreak really teaches you about yourself...how you can handle things and what you do to overcome pain.

To never have loved leaves someone bitter. Whether you've loved and lost, there's no better feeling in the world than love. And with every experience there's a precious feeling that comes with it.

Who wants to live life without never have loved? That's a life not worth living.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all because love is a deep, adoring rush of emotions that should be experienced at least once. That feeling in your stomach, that thrill in your heart when he calls, when he kisses you, even when he's just around being a goofey idiot. Reaching for the stars at night even though you know you can't really feel them, and that wonderful daydreaming...oh that wonderful daydreaming, what else can I say, only that I sure miss those feelings and hope to have them again someday.

False. It is better never to have loved at all if you have only loved a mirage of a person--if a person has lied to you about what he actually is, and you have loved this lie until the person was able to "get" you--merely because this shallow creep was too cheap to pay for sex. That's not love--on his part, at least--it's being used.

The statement is only true if it is true for both parties: it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all if both parties loved and both parties lost (the same person for each of the respective parties).

I know that love hurts sometimes, but it's worth it. The feeling that we feel when we are in love they are magical. having butterflies in your stomach, listen to a song that reminds you of him, make a candlelight dinner or just a walk in the beach. There is nothing than love. Also the love for from a mother to a child that is unconditional love. Or the love you feel for your parents. Love is wonderful,., yes it can hurt but it's worth it.

Geesh. I've never loved or been loved in a romantic way, but I don't believe other people have a right to judge me based on that. From reading all the replies I guess "my life hasn't been worth living" and I should probably go shoot myself right now.
