Is love a waste of time? Opinion based

I'd do what PeanutButterGamer did in his Top 10 Jerks in Video Games, y'know, stab you from behind and yell, "TAKE IT BACK", but I'll be more civilized: No, it is not, I've got a girlfriend, and we were MADE for each other. THAT'S THE EEEEND
 
Hmm, I can't say I'm such a big fan of love, nor am I successful with it, but I wouldn't go as far to say it is a complete waste of time >.< If the relationship works, you may get married, have children and live the rest of your lives together, which doesn't like too much of a waste :P Though you do have the relationships that end awkwardly, though that's more practice of finding the perfect match, rather than a waste of time
 
I wouldnt say im attractive but ive had a few girlfriends. But you just gotta wait for the right one. It may seem like no point when you break up. but that gives you experience for the next. So you know not to do that next time or whatever, Just.... it will happen.

Props for a PBG related post, lol.

Now I'm not the luckiest when it comes to said topic, but I wouldn't say it's a waste at all. If anything failure is part of the fun of trying to succeed. You learn from the experience, no? Plus it's something you'll probably always remember. Heck if you're young I don't even see why you're bothered by this...people seem to think once they hit 18 their life is over nowadays.

Be patient and if things work out then great, if not then pick yourself up and move on. At least you get the opportunity to try again. Chin up.

Love isn't a waste of time. It brings happiness, and it molds and changes your life. Good and bad relationships become a part of you, they help you grow for better or worse and make you, you. The challenge is finding someone compatible. I believe there is someone out there for everyone.

Good luck!
 
i wouldn't say it's a waste of time either, especially considering you already said you know it's what you want. it probably won't always be easy though, so it might help to keep that in mind for the less positive situations you already have or may still encounter though (hopefully, that stays in the past though).
 
Love is... It's kind of... Sort of like a... Hm. Love is important. It is shown that single people are more likely to live shorter than people who are dating or who are married. Love is also a feeling that is needed to live. Everyone feels love, it doesn't matter how tough you are, or much of an asshole you are, everyone has the ability to love and can feel love. It's what brings meaning into the world and it thrives us to be better people. If you have a bad relationship and it's your fault you broke up, then it's a learning experience. If it's the other persons fault, then they have to overcome their problem to better themselves. Love is just the greatest feeling in the world. (Not that I would actually know what that feels like. It's just what I'm assuming.)

I mean love may be a great feeling, but there are people who will never feel love because of many reasons. The first one being they're unattractive and no one wants to date them. Another example would be extreme anxiety, making it difficult to even meet girls. Another huge one would be your personality. I learned the sad truth that if you want a girl, you have to be an asshole. Why? I don't know, I really don't. It's the way the world works I guess. I mean I once asked a girl why they chose the guy who treats her like crap, over me, who treated her well. Her responce was, "Sorry, but nice guys finish last." I'm not making this up either, those are her exact words. So you can't really be nice or apparently you won't get girls. I for one am way too nice so I guess I'm out there. Heck I'm in all 3 catagories.

There's one more catagory too. It's the "liking the same person for a long time and you gave them everything and you put all your faith in this and falling in love with someone who could never possibly love you" catagory. It's where you like someone and they'll play around with you, until you end up thinking they like you, but you don't do anything for a long time. So you watch as they go through different bf's/gf's and watch their bad break ups over and over until you think, "I know the signs they like me. I'm going to ask them out." Then they say no. Even though that should be it, you don't give up and you keep trying because, why not? Then something magical happens and they kiss you out of nowhere and you freak out not knowing what to do. Then when you confront them they say it didn't mean anything to them, even though it's your first kiss. So you keep going for them and they have no interest in you, but you think you love them so you never give up to try to get new girls.

The above is not me, thank god. It's just somebody that I knew a while ago.

So no, love isn't a waste of time, not by a hookshot. It's the one of the most important things you need in life. It's up there with food, water, and air. It's only a waste of time if you waste your time by being one of the four catagories above.
 
I feel as though I need more detail to answer your question(such as the specific reasoning to what lead you to ask),but...

Love is healthy,so no it's not a waste of time. You cant expect to find a working relationship right off the bat,a good relationship takes time(no not 6 months,LONGER,real time),and understanding. Sounds generic but it's true and it's best that both people in the relationship understand that.....or you're gonna have a bad time. I don't know the exact nature of your situation(s) with "love" so only other thing I want to say is:

Hank Hill once said "If you want something bad enough,you'll play through the pain".

Haha classic Hank Hill ^

It is not a waste of time man. Love is a magnificent feeling. Everyone who posted before me is correct, sometimes it just takes a bit of time. There are plenty of people out there who have found themselves in your shoes questioning whether or not they are ment to be loved. Everyone deserves to fall in love or be loved. Do not give up on love.
 
Just to give you encouragement, I didn't even go on a date until I was 22. Just gotta wait for the right one to come along. I'm now married to my first and only girlfriend at age 24. I even know people who didn't even bother with dating until they were in their late 20's and now they are happily married and have a beautiful family. Don't worry about what society tells you, you have your entire life to find love.
 
Having a few scars on my heart from failed relationships (and attempted relationships), I know what you are feeling. But is love worth the pain? I say yes, it is. Having a girlfriend really made me feel as though I am not alone in this world. I always used to feel as though I am the only one of my breed. Having a girfriend really changed that for me. There are days when I feel lonely because I can not find a girlfriend currently. But I remind myself that there is hope. I will probably find my soulmate when I go to uiversity next fall in my pursuit of paleontology. I will probably find my soulmate in that process... I remind myself of that, and carry on with my life. Everyone needs love. I am one of those few who can live life with very few friends. I never felt a need for anyone other than my family. Up til I hit thirteen however, and felt a need for a girlfriend. So don't give up on love friend. It may be painful battle to get it, but once you know what it is like to be loved. Truly loved. You will know it as worth it. I wish you the best of luck in your future relationship endeavors. :)
