No idea. It usually finds you even if you don't want a part in it. And it usually sucks.

Agreed in full.

I don't get why people seem like they're going to keel over if they don't find romance. It's loads more trouble than it's worth.

Because they are people? Because the clock in ticking?

That'd be my guess. Thank Creation for Immortality!

*nosewrinkle* I'm a person and I don't feel compelled to put in a personal ad?

Maybe they're all just broken.

...Immortal?

*beams* Give it time!

People after awhile start to fear they are losing time and need to get busy, if ya know what I mean? I'm sure there's some kind of term for it or it: The fear of death that makes people want to find love.

*gives a quixotic look* Yea...Immortal.

*laughs* I think I'm past that. Things went badly.

*nods* That makes two immortals I know, then.

Two? Who is the other?

An angel called Chael.

Ooo an angel! I've never saw one...not a real one.

I haven't seen one, either. But i know he's there.

Oh...

okay.

For me, it wasn't so much the rush to find love ... I stumbled into it early.

I just want to recapture it.

That's different.

People around here seem to miss what they've never had, ya know?

Well easy for me to say ... but yeah. I think it is too.

Anything got you thinking about this is particular, or is it just an observation you've gathered?

Just an observation. Not even an annoyance. Just a curiosity.

It is an interesting trait a lot of people share around here share.

I don't see the appeal. It just makes them seem desperate and...broken.

I agree with you. Anyone who needs to find their happiness in someone else ... broken is a good way to describe them.

On the other hand, turning the judgmental pendulum back towards myself ... its hard not to seem desperate and broken when your pining after your childhood sweetheart for as long as I have.

Yeah, but like I said before: You can't miss what you didn't have.

You actually had love. *shrugs* You got to see what life was like when you had that and so when it was gone you knew there was something missing.

Thats a very kind spin you put on that.

I sometimes wonder though. If I ever did rekindle that flame or even started a new fire ... would it feel the same? I've been told before nothing is as pure as it is in youth.

Won't I feel foolish if I wake up and realize that I've been waiting for something that I can't have back.

I dunno.

I can't say. I was spurned pretty badly in love and haven't cared enough to try again.

I think you can't close yourself off, but...it's not bad to hope?

One of the things being apart from Lily taught me was the important lesson I've already mentioned. That in looking for happiness in someone else, your not looking for it in the right place.

I like to think I've grown up a bit in the time we've been apart.

I try not to think about this stuff too much anymore. A lot of love and romance has to do with luck. Right place, right time, right people. You can't force it just because you don't want to be alone. Does that make any sense?

Exactly. You can't count on someone else to make you happy and complete. Sometimes you just have to let that sort of thing come on its own.

*nods* I know what you mean, I only made a statement about it because everyone seems to be trying to force it? And then they're....depressed because they think there must be something wrong with them?

Asking for love never works.

It's cool to talk with someone who I see eye to eye with and the affirmation helps me to know I've got my head on straight.

I agree. I was wondering if I was the only one!

I think you're in the clear.

*holds out her hand* I'm Aminta.

Damien. It's a pleasure to meet you Aminta.

Pleasure's mine, Damien.

Sometimes love finds you, even when you aren't looking for it.

Or when you don't even want to find it.

But you do, or rather, it finds you, and things just...fall into place.

Oh, I know that. I just noticed that around here there seem to be an abundance of posts that come off as....I dunno. Like they're posting personals and then angsting whenever no one is interested?

Does that make any sense?

There's a rush to find it?

Apparently.

Admittedly more on the female end than with males. I've found my gender is whiny and needy.

So your not interested in love yourself?

I'm not opposed to it, per se. But I would never look for it.

If it comes to me, then so be it; I won't fight. Much. But I'll never voluntarily search for completeness in a man's arms.

I don't look for it either, my thoughts are if you don't get attached you don't get hurt.

Those are really smart thoughts. Very true.

Thanks, names Reg by the way.

Hey, Reg. I'm Aminta. Or 'mint or Ammie. Whatever suits.

Mint is cute.

OOC: Sorry about that :)

That one seems to be the most popular, really.

((No worry!))

If you've never had love and it's all you've ever wanted, love can be the most important thing in the world. You can't buy the feeling love gives you.

No, you can't. But if you've never had love, like you say, than how do you know it's important? How do you know the feeling is worth coming off desperate and broken for?

Because if your already desperate and broken it has to be better then this feeling.

How do you know? You've never had it. It could be worse.
