Is it really better to have loved and lost?

no

I used to think so, but after living 32 years without, I finally found someone I loved more than I ever thought possible, and I was deeply hurt by him. I really do wish I had never met him, because then I would never have known what I was missing.

Maybe someday I'll think differently, once I've met someone else, but for now, that's what I think.

I think so, I have never regretted loving any of the people I have loved and lost.

It is better to have loved and lost than to have lost and found.

take it from a guy who has experienced both at the same time (strange i know, but yes...both can happen simultaneously o.O" )

it IS better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all

Yes, because next time you will try to fix what caused you to fail the first time! love has ups and downs and you will learn that

NOt in my opinion. And I have loved and lost

Yes. Love is great.

Yeah, because eventually you'll come to accept the loss and appreciate the good stuff that came from the love .. :)

yes

because people who have never loved before, always long for love.

But if you have loved and lost, you have overcome a tragic event and are stronger for it.

No, because you wont know what your missing if you've never been in love and lost it.

To be in love and lose it is.... painful!
