Is there a reason love never comes to some people?

Well I know it does not look like a proper question but I was wondering why some people have the capacity to love others yet fail to be loved back. And I am not talking about friend or family love.

Is it perhaps because people that are too romantic scare others away?

Or perhaps are people used to others being straightforward (to the extend of it being blunt) when it comes to interpersonal relationships?

Have we glorified sex to the extend of it being nothing but a natural follow up to a relationship between two persons, that we base said relations partly to how good the sex will be?

Why is it that persons who choose to know their possible future partner first, and try to cultivate a romantic and intimate relationship with them get won by a more aggressive third person that takes more immediate action?

Do we really have to abandon romanticism and instead of basing the formation of relationships to it,simply use it as a means to 'hold on' to a dying relationship?

Elaborate! :)

    Well,we've replaced sugar to sweeteners,love letters to e-mails,exploring to googling,creating to copying,Internet to books,making love to one night stands.

    "Is there a reason love never comes to some people?"

    Yes,people have become romance-intolerant.We no longer can embrace something great even when it stares us in the face,we just flinch.

    Love takes courage and a certain amount of madness and we are too afraid and conceited to even try to see what might happen if we give in and drop our guard.

    I assume you're a believer yourself and somehow I've managed to be one as well.But to be brutally honest,I'm not very optimistic about what's waiting for me,I'm broken beyond repair.

    Oh please tell me that romanticism is not dead! I am still a firm believer in it. All too often people use other people for sex and then throw them away. Are we becoming so callus that human emotion counts for nothing anymore? I certainly hope not. I have found that I am too mushy for a sex based relationship. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one?..lol.. I am betting that I am not. There has to be more people who still believe in love and romance. Or? Am I a dreamer? I don't think so. Our society seems to treat relationships as so glib. Sad really. I'm still keeping the faith and I hope you are too!

    Great question. Thanks. :)

    Perhaps these people are not willing to accept love or to work on a relationship. Some people are happy on their own. Maybe they are never in the right place to meet that special someone.

    In my opinion - you have more than enough of what it takes to be loved. I am so sorry that you have not found it on the path behind you. But do not give up on the path thats ahead of you. Remember the old saying "get off the beaten path"? Take a new one and you might be suprised at what you find. Also, it's not to late to send your x-mas list to Santa!!!

    I believe you have to be really lucky to have two people who feel really attracted to each other at the same time (i am talking both physically and emotionally). I think sometimes we believe we have it (usually when we are young), but when we grow older realise we don't. I envy those who have found true love.

    no there isn't a reason for this, some people just don't seem to find the right people.
