In the name of love

[JollyApe]

What would you do for the one you love? Or if we rephrase it a little. What would you do to get the one you love to love you?

This is all very hypotethical. How far would you go to make someone love you? Would you cut of an arm? Lose all your money? Your job? Never speak to any of your friends again? Kill someone?

What's the worst thing you could ever do? No matter what you do the person you love will love you after you've done it, but will you?

So how far would you go in the name of love?

Love means a great deal to me, not sure why, I think it's because of the lack of affection I got from my parents, but I would do anything for love. I have nothing to loose.

I'd be myself, simple as that!

If you have to try to be anything other than yourself to get a girl in the first place then it stands to reason that you will have to keep up that pretense in order to keep her. Personally i have no desire to spend my life pretending i'm something i'm not just for the sake of being with somebody who doesn't love the real me anyway.

You want me? You get ME! You don't like that? Then you REALLY don't want me! 😀

Ahhh, the "Are you now, or have you ever been, a stalker" thread!😉 Looks like the old "Confessions" thread has been resurrected in a new avatar! Ok, all you potential stalkers out there, show yourselves! 😉

 

[JollyApe]

Oh man, I've started a confessions thread? Perhaps I should be more careful with my thread starting.

Honestly speaking I would not do anything other than be myself, and if they don't love me for that then its not meant to be. For me it would feel a bit empty inside knowing that they only loved me because of something specific I did to obtain that love.

 

[JollyApe]

But if it was this thing that stood between you and your lover. How much effort would you put into making the thing go away?

 

[polexia]

pyromaniac: i'm so sorry about that sweety! i hope you have good friends that love you though! and show it! I feel with you Pyro!!!! :cry:

My mom has always been good at telling me she loves me, but we have massive comunication probs on other areas... like talking about private things(bad feelings especialy), and well.. we have issues.... and my father wasn't there much from i was about 10-19.... i'v ehad contact with him now though fr like 2 years


well, to get someone to love me, i don't think i wouldn't do a whole heck of alot :crazy:, well if i it's a love intrest(potential boyf or crush...) prob try and be around them and such, talk to them.. but i wouldn't loose any limbs 😉 even if i really like them... (i know this might not be what you ment but... 🙂)

em, but for the people i love, i would do alot, If i didn't think they LOVEd me(i'm talking my boyf (the one i have now), my siblings parents and friends) i would prob do alot to keep them loving me, or to see reasons to love me, but not in the ways of loosing limbs, or money... i would prob put my integrety on the line.. or put my emotions out there, wear my heart on my sleeve so to speak... this is a though one Jolly... a good quetion also. so hard to know, got to rack my brain a little.....

well i know one thing for sure though: i will do ANYTHING for the people i love!!!! if it means ripping my own heart out, i will do that.... anything to ensure their happiness and to know that they will be okay!

I'm a total dork when I'm in love with someone... It's funny, yet sad... I don't fall too easily, but when I do, it's a completely different thing to me...

I've never really had to try to get someone to love me, they just usually do it on their own 😉 But I just act like myself... Which is definately in the dork category...

I would do anything for the one I love... It doesn't matter what it is... Love is everything to me... I love being in love :love08:

 

[eponinethen]

Yeaaa... I wouldn't do anything to get someone to love me. 'Cause I'd never even tell or show them that I liked them. So, that's me.

For the one I love (and who loves me, mhm) though.. I'd do a lot...

Ok, I was about to say that I also would not do much other than be myself...and then I realized that "myself" is a hopeless romantic who is ridiculously, head-over-heels in love. And I also realized, that this past week I actually DID do a very very stupid thing for love.

Last week, my boyfriend Jim, decided that he was going to stop talking to me. This is very easy to do, considering that he's in New Orleans and I'm in Roanoke, VA. That's about 860 miles away. He carried on like this, with me leaving sobbing (once, drunken) voice-mail messages, just plain ignoring my calls, blocked me on AIM, the whole deal. I'm not going to get into why, because...well, it's kind of between us...anyway, this, understandably, pissed me off.

I got SO mad on Sunday night, after he officially been not talking to me for a week, that I packed a bag, got my money together, printed out MapQuest directions, made a few "driving" cd's, and on Monday morning, bright and early, got in my truck to drive, by myself, the 14 hours through Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississipi and Louisiana...entirely to yell at him. It took me twelve hours. I had this whole empassioned, angry speech practiced that I was going to do when he opened his dorm room door...but I decided halfway through Mississippi that since it was raining and dark, I wasn't going to stop until New Orleans. By the time I got there I had to use the restroom so bad I was doing that little dance. So he opens the door, and I'm just like "I have to pee, move!" (Everything's ok now, I yelled, he groveled, we played video games and went out to Bourbon and stuff...)

That was a VERY stupid thing to do. I know it. What if I'd had car trouble? What if he hadn't been there when I got there? What if I had run out of gas in Nowheresville, Alabama? What if I got lost? What if I had been kidnapped or had an accident? I didn't think about any of those things. I just knew that apparently, Jim had to be reminded of how much he loves me and how much I love him, and I was going to do it, one way or the other. So I guess I'd do some pretty stupid things for love.

Re:

I guess my answer depends on which question. What would I do for someone I love? You name it. But I wont jump through hoops or put on a play to win someones love. If they don't love me for who I am, then they won't ever. I wont change for anyone as I don't expect them to change for me.....But if I'm in love with someone I will go to the ends of the earth if they asked me to....Does that make any sense.....*shakes head*

 

[killerdwarf]

Ahh, Anchovy, you crazy girl! That's a killer drive, especially in the dark and rain (that's how the dwarf clan gets to NOLA...driving from Canada!). It sounds like he's worth it. So...how was Bourbon Street behaving? Did you hit Deenie's on Iberville for blackened redfish, or the Acme Oyster house for po-boys?

 

[Anchovy]

Eh, it wasn't really that bad until Mississippi. That state feels SOOOO long. They have good radio though...And Bourbon was behaving badly, as usual! Just the way I like it. And yes, we went for po-boys on Friday night, then Bourbon. Then Saturday it was T.J. Quills (the ROTC boys hangout) and crepes afterwards. Then Sunday morning, beignets. Mmmmm...Man, I miss it. Time to go fill out my application for transfer to Tulane!

No, really, I got one.
