Of course you will. All of us go through similar situations. We'll learn to move on, we'll learn to find someone whom we deserve, just don't hurry or search for love, you'll find it when you have to.
Sounds like you feel a bit heartbroken, I could recommend a link to the breakup guidelines :) I understand breakups are hard and take a very strong amount of strength out of people.
Yes! You may feel demotivated at present but there will always be someone out there for you and while you may feel like you have love no longer in your heart, it's simply so deep down that even you can't feel it. All it will take is that someone special to open your heart enough to feel that love again.

When your heart is ready, you would start noticing others again. Have you thought about the qualities of the person you will love?
Absolutely! Many people often experience certain situations after which they feel they may never love another person again. While it feels this way immediately after the situation, time tends to heal all wounds (even though it may not feel this way). We often feel like it is the end of the world right away, but as time goes on we heal and we grow stronger, and when we're ready to move on, we love even stronger :)

Yes, though my ex did hurt me I still believe in finding love again. There is always hope to find someone who treats you better and loves you for who you are
You will be able to feel that if you let go your past or the problem that makes you trust people less. Try watching people in different angle and you might find them trustworthy and you might even fall in love
I understand how you could feel that way. But don't worry, love is cyclical: it comes and goes. It will find you again! :)
I believe you will, if you are open to the idea of that possibility. You may feel it may not be possible, but I believe it is possible, and it has happened to me. And this time, you may even experience a better quality if you have take the 'learnings' of your previous relationships.
There are tons of people that will care and love you just like I am sure you probably still love someone. There's many types of love (Friendship caring kind, family kind of love, and special other kind). It's okay. What you're going through know is tough but things can get better. Just stay strong, my friend.

Yes u will !!! God has you someone just waiting to meet you. U may already know that person. Don't shut down just open ur heart
Yes you will. There is something special in every other person we meet, only if we wish to explore. Not everybody is the same. Happiness is a choice ~
Yes you will when you start to love yourself. Remember love someone when you're ready not when you're lonely.
Your automatic thought: Critical self (Putting ourselves down, self-criticism, blaming ourselves for events or situations that are not totally our responsibility) Try to listen to how you do it to yourself and then challenge or distance yourself from those thoughts, and see the situation in a different and more helpful way.
Love is a natural feeling that comes and goes. Eventually, you will catch those feelings when least expected.
These things takes time and effort. But yes everyone is entitled for chances to be in the boat again.
yes... surely you would... :) it is a human trait to feel like this was my only or last love or relation.... but with time you will sure start to like someone else who comes in your life... and you will know then that you can fall in love with this person... just dont stop yourself when that happens... you are not doing anything wrong moving on.. :)
Yes, you absolutely will. When the right time comes, remain patient my love.
each and everyone of us have a significant other.
I read something once that I've always remembered. It said that we should each look at our own lives as though it were a movie. Heartbreak, suffering and sadness are all big events that we often replay in our minds. But we should also replay all of the positive and happy events. And while we do this, we should remember that our movie is still being written, it's a blank slate, so have hope, go out there and write your story! Believe in yourself and create new memories.
Eventually, your heart will heal, it's gonna take it sweet time to do it, it'll be so slowly that you won't even notice; and then, you'll find someone, someone that will flip your world upside down, someone that will make you so happy, someone who will make you want to love again.
Yes, it takes time and a lot of self love to start healing and being aware of our emotions is the first step.
Yes. It may take a while, as some wounds are deeper than others, but it is possible. While most say that time heals all wounds, I do not agree; the mind covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but is never gone. This is the lesson we learn from heartbreak; we learn from what we've experienced and grow from it.
For me love is trust based. Once someone breaks that trust they go in a negative factor. They can rebuild their trust slowly, but someone else will start at 0. And thus build up the trust faster. So yes at some point the person who broke your heart will make up for it, or else someone new will stroll along and bring that feeling of butterflies back in your stomach. And remember it takes time to find the right person. And true love can never come too late. So stay strong and keep your eyes open. Your true love might be just around the corner.

Yes you will, right now you may not feel your best and may be at your worst but trust me life moves on and the situation you're in, which ever it is, it will come to pass and you will forget whatever sadness you are feeling right now.. Sure it feels like it will never end,like you will never be able love again. But that's not true. You will feel like you'll be able to love someone again only if you let yourself feel that way. So don't worry :) look towards the future with optimism and you'll meet that one person that makes you happy and feel like falling in love again which at that point you already are
you will, you just dont want to fall again into that hurt, and its totally normal to feel like that you just have to find the right one

Loving someone can be hard and draining sometimes. If you feel like you're not able to live someone else right now that's ok. Take some time to focus on you, you can't pour from an empty cup. It may take a long time but eventually I believe you will feel better and be able to move past this. Things are very stressful right now, and it's very important to make sure we're doing what we need to do for ourselves. Self -love is very important! I really hope you'll be able to feel better. I believe you can move past this.
Of course dear eventually we will find someone who can see our worth and treasure us and fight for us till the end you just have to give your heart fully to him and don't be afraid to trust again
Once you are able to heal internally of past hurts, and open up to kindness, empathy and compassion, along with establishing healthy boundaries, it is possible
Yes you will be able to feel love again. You just haven't meet that "one" yet. You will eventually find someone.
