Life without love

worry bout your career. marriage, love, and all that happy stuff will come sooner or later. have patients..

Give up on love for awhile till it finds you or whatever.. i did.. i just recently got my heart broken which cuz of that i wont love for awhile.. only the child i got inside of me...

do what makes you happy.

Small flings, maybe. But nothing serious anymore. I don't want any strings attached. No marriage.

Bad idea, sweetie. You'll only get hurt in the process, in my opinion.

Now, I think this is a bad idea. But, in my opinion, no one can 'give up' on love.. because love, if it was meant to be, will find you, like it or not.

I think you should give love more of a try... Perhaps not date for awhile and make friends with guys...Perhaps, then you can date...
I say never give up on love..Because love never gave up on you.

Good luck on your decision.

maybe you should focus on your career. do something that would make you happy.

love will find you when it does, whatever happens, happens. love will never be out of your life.

love helps you live everyday. love will find you, no matter what. but if you don't want to have a relationship, then don't. maybe you need time to think things over. i almost gave up on love [even though i'm a youngster ;] ] but i gave myself time to think things over. in the end, love found me again.

you'll get screwed over many times in life, mostly from love. you just have to learn to deal with it. .
make your decision wisely.

best of luck,

I think if your career is really that important to you then you won't regret it. Maybe sometime around in the futre you'll find love too....don't worry too much...
best of luck to you 8 )

If you want to focus only on your career, then that's what you should do. I don't think you will ever regret not marrying because of that.

However, if the opportunity for a relationship presents itself, there is a fairly good chance you will regret pushing him away down the road.

Basically: don't go looking for anybody, but be open-minded. Don't get stuck on the idea of being alone forever.

well, i think you should focus on your career. if you don't feel right or ready for any kind of commiment, then don't force yourself. that can be a good choice too. it just depends on the person.

^ yeah, but don't make your decision based just on what society thinks. if you rebel against it for simply that reason, then you're still playing along with the rules. just do what you would do, whether it happens to be somthing that society supports or rejects.

that said, try to keep -some- love in your life. love for whatever... a partner, friend, family member, dog, houseplant... whatever. even if it's more general, like love for life or your music (it sounds like you're a musician, i may be wrong.) but yeah, love is good. it doesn't need to be defined romantically, but in any way, it's good.

Are you really considering this? I mean, ok so you've been hurt. Yes, its understandable and yes, sometimes you just want to give up on the whole thing. But I've got a question: Why were you trying? I think you should just not think about it, not worry at all. Just live. Don't use your carreer as an excuse so you can tell yourself when you're old and alone that your "career" kept you too busy to experience something great. Just wait till the time comes, thats what i say.

Honestly, in my opinion at 17 marriage could be a scary thing, and since you are so young you don't really have to think about commiting just yet.

Focus on your career. When the time is right for you (it is different for everybody) maybe you will think of 'settling' down and having a family. But right now it doesn't have to be in your priorities, so try not to worry about it. Just do what makes you happy, but always keep an open mind :)

If it makes you feel any better, I am kind of in the same boat as you right now. Although I have never loved or had a boyfriend, I chose not to get involved with anyone because I have goals and things that I must do in my life before I could ever think of getting married. And even if I did have a little fling, I'd be setting myself up for destruction, because that would distract me from my ultimate goal. Know what I mean?

Well that's my opinion at least. Don't give up on love, Angelina, just do what makes you happy :)

i think you migh regret getting married one day but you need do what is right for you

I'm tired of love too sister. It effes u up pretty badly no doubt.

You can't tell your heart who to love, when it will happen or why it does. It just does. If you go looking for it or shy away from it it will find you in it's own time and unfortunately we can't do much about it. Sure go ahead and really concentrate on your career (that's my plan at the moment too) but don't cut love and marriage right out of your life now. You're young, give it a chance and I wish you the best of luck.

I've found in my life that life without love was easier...it's hard at times but the best times i've had was by myself...i've got a history of being by myself so when your alone all the time...those are the best times...i've got a gf..but i still wanna be left alone..later in life you might but then again you might not...i'm not gonna regret it...so it's cool..
