This is a good question. Is there someone out there to love? In the poem Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann, he states, "Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass." Love often finds its way to us at the exact moment of readiness, no sooner or later. It is a natural phenomenon of the spirit. Finding love begins with finding it within ourselves - first. How can we find love without knowing for ourselves? Right? What I know of love is limited to my understanding of it. The more I understand, the more I can express it, naturally. The level at which I think about love within my conscious mind matches exactly my experience of love. It is the nature of physics. For example, If I think love doesn't exist for me, it won't. Every moment in life is a moment to deepen understanding of love. Life is, in a sense, the greatest opportunity to learn and discover the spectrum of love. There is kind love, and there is desperate love. There is romantic love and love for a child, too. We must be gentle with ourselves about life and love. Why be harsh or judgemental to ourselves for wanting or lacking? It is counter-productive. Everything in life is a learning lesson, especially about understanding love for self and another. I hope you found some value in these words. I know I did. It has been stated, "the greatest teacher and student you will ever meet is yourself." I hope your path towards love brings profound understanding to your heart and mind. Thank you for reading. MindRoots

It is hard when you believe you will never find someone else to love you, especially right after a breakup. However, all the love you will ever experience is within you. By that I mean, love and relationship is the most successful when you love yourself first and come together with someone else who also loves themselves. This is where you get the most value and success in a relationship. So, if you are asking yourself 'will I ever find love', look inside you and ask yourself do you love yourself? Love begins and ends within us and that kind of love never leaves. It is only enriched when someone else comes along and notices it.

Every person deserves to be loved and there is someone out there that would accept you for you are. That's why I say yes. Yes, you will find someone who will love you and care for you like you're the most precious thing in the whole world because you are. Sometimes things do not go our way and we let it get to us but the most important thing is to keep moving forward and keep trying to achieve all of our goals. Love is always there. You just have to clear the dark clouds in front of your eyes and see properly.

Yes, there are so many people in the world. There will be many heartbreaks you will go through but think of it this way, one less heartbreak until you meet your soulmate. There are so many people in this world and many more to meet, you are probably so young and have such more and new people to meet as you grow up, you will find the one who will love you. They will love you as much as you have everyone else and that love you have put out will come back to you. It will be the best.

Yes, you will find someone else to love you as long as you're willing to love them back as well. It takes time and great effort to build a relationship on love. There are a number of ways to find someone like through hobbies, interests, likes, and even social media. From there, build a relationship with them and continue building it. All you can do is try and hope that someone will love you, but you will have to take the initiative to express love first. Take the first step and someone will see your effort. Hopefully, they will love you back.

We all have the desire and need to find someone to love us, this doesn't mean that the person who loves us isn't already next to us. We focus on an ideal of what that person should be and what we expect yet forget to take a moment to view those around us caring, watching over us, and also motivating and lifting us up when we need it the most. Love comes in all forms, not only romantic or familial, self love is also something that is very important. No one can love you more than yourself, once you do. You will be able to see who also love you, for you.

Firstly, I want to say, yes. You are definitely worthy of love. But, before you ask this question, I would like you to look deep inside yourself and ask if you have learned to love yourself yet? What have you done so far to love yourself more? So many of us neglect ourselves. We are so occupied with giving, we forget to recieve. Will you truly be happy being loved by someone when you constantly feel ”not enough”. My advise is, stop finding love, instead, embark on the beautiful journey of finding and loving yourself.

When the right time comes, you'll find someone else who will love you but before you find someone else to love, love yourself first. Loving thyself is one of the most important thing to do since if you can't love yourself first, you can't someone else. Loving yourself, taking care yourself, prioritizing your mental health is crucial. If you don't take care of yourself first and find someone else you'll be vulnerable. Some people finds someone else when they're broken hoping that they'll feel better and it might be true for a while but if that person leaves they go back to their previous situation when they're still vulnerable. People seem to be emotionally dependent on people when they don't love themselves enough. Loving someone unconditionally is good but loving thyself is Most important. It's not Selfish but Self love and it's only you who's gonna live with yourself in your entire life. When you'll love yourself truly you'll see Relationship was never a necessity but a choice. Love Yourself

Everyone finds love, whether it is family love or a relationship with someone else, you are loved by someone. I really struggled believing that I deserve love or that I will actually find someone that will genuinely love me for me, but now as I have gotten older, I have realized that love is not just being in love with someone; love is knowing that you have support from family and friends. Understanding that you can find love in other aspects of your life allows you to be more open and understand exactly what you need to be happy with the life you have. You will find love! Take it one step at a time.

Of course you can do it. Try to meet new people, do things you like doing. Maybe it will get your mind off what happened. It might be very hard but first you need to get over the person. As i said before, meeting new people or doing an activity you like doing will get you over the person. Eventually you'll start to care about yourself a bit more. Slowly you'll get over them. When you finally will forget about them, you can concentrate on finding the right one for you. Im very sure you can do it. It takes a lot of patience and time but you'll make it. Don't forget to take care of yourself first dear. Good luck! < 3

I won't say that you will or that it is a matter of time, but what i have to say: love is always around us, not exactly our knight on the white horse! it could be a celebrity who loves their fans, a part of your family or even the universe sending you a cool breeze in the summer haze... We just have to embrace and appreciate the moments! It's hard to find them but all you have to do is look, and you will find how colorful and rich your life is. And don't forget, i love you as well! 💙

We are all taught to adore stories of princes and princesses finding their soulmates and thus living their happily after. But I do believe seeking external love- as in from someone else is as pointless as seeking external motivation- helps just for a certain period of time. If you don't love yourself, then nobody in the world can be enough for you. I know some people who have known each other since teenage and got married but we all have to realize such couples grew together at the same pace- which is quite unusual and uncommon. That being said, yes you will find someone to love you unconditionally but don't go on a treasure hunt looking for that person. The goal should be to focus on yourself and make yourself feel loved.

Yes, you will. Going through a breakup or realizing you're not being loved as much as you love this person, or losing someone you love,can be one of the things that hurt the most in this world, but unfortunately, it's something almost everything goes through at least once in life. It's important to remember that you are not alone, and you can learn something from every experience you have in life. Even if it seems like the pain will never end, it will. Most importantly, you must learn to take small steps towards loving yourself first, because when you learn to love who you are, being loved by someone else will come naturally.

yes, you will! do not give up hope! I personally believe that everyone out there has a person for them. Yes, this being said by one of those sappy romantics who has never been in a relationship. Love works in mysterious ways though (as cliche as it might sound). There's no saying for sure you might fall in or out of love, it just happens or doesn't. Be patient with yourself and give yourself time, that only means you have longer to work on yourself and love yourself for the next person who comes around! * If you don't love yourself, how can you expect someone else to do it for you?*

Yes! I hate to use the most common phrase but there are plenty of fish in the sea! no matter what there will be someone out there who has similar interests, finds you attractive, and ultimately loves to spend time with you. You may be feeling this way right now but there are tons of ways to go out in meet people. For example if you’re in high school you still have your whole life to meet someone in college or during any extracurricular activities. Even if you are 50 years old it is still possible to go on dating sites and develop relationships! love is a tricky thing but there will always be someone out there to love you.

It often feels like there is no one else beside that one, unique person to love. The very step though and this is most important, from own personal experience as well as working in psychology and with so many other people, is to know that “someone else to love me” is already me. If you can love yourself that might make things easier. You are able to care for you then and provide yourself with all the things that might make you happy. For me these things are good food, a nice walk in nature along the beach, the canal or in the forest, meeting my friends and family and sharing hugs. Talking. There are so many ways to love and it is not about that one person.

I was in a stage where I was accustomed to being in a relationship. After leaving my last long-term relationship, I began dating to try filling that void I had in me. However, that only made things worse because every time I thought I found someone I became attached and only ended up getting hurt. The moment I decided to quit looking, he came unexpectedly. I believe there is someone for everyone we just have to be patient and not try to force relationships. Getting to know a person long-term before turning it into something more can also help us avoid a painful situation.

You will. It is tough to get past the person who hurt you, but you will. You may not notice, but you talk to people who love you every day- even if they have a funny way of showing it. Especially with depression or anxiety, we often times doubt ourselves and our self-worth, making it hard to believe that someone will love you just as much as you love them. The first step is to love yourself. It's a hard concept to wrap your head around. It was even hard for me. When you love yourself, you can say "I love me" and "I am worth so much" and more. It takes time and practice, but maybe look in the mirror one day at what you would describe as your "worst trait" and say, "you are beautiful, even though I don't say that enough." FIND the beauty within, force those positive affirmations from your mouth until they come without a second thought. You are worth it.

You will. And always will. But you need to know something before you believe with my words, 1. give an efforts, this is a must. You can’t stay in your home, and get a girl. 2. throw your ego. Yes and always yes. If you find someone that you love, it is a must to throw up your ego. Because she always has her ego also, and if both of you use your own ego. There will be no one that give in. 3. you need to love yourself at first. Know yourself better, know your surrounding better. It so much more harder rather than love other people. When you already done to love yourself, you will easily love other people without forgetting yourself. 4. be good to everyone. Nobody will know who is their partner of life. You can meet your partner everywhere. Just believe in one thing, if i be good, people do the same. If they don’t do the same, i still be good to them. 5. don’t ever believe with destiny. (i’m so sorry for people that still believe with god that gives partner). But let me tell you a secret, if you believe with destiny. You will no longer strive to find your lover. You just stuck in your home and pray to god, to give you the best girl ever. What you need now is to believe there will be a partner of your life. It will encourage your brain and heart to keep searching and searching, over and over again for a girl. If you already done with all of those statement. You will find a girl that didn’t love you, but you love her. Or vice versa, where you find a girl that loves you so much, but you don’t. And my last word will reveal it. 6. Love is a journey, don’t ever think the destination. Enjoy your journey to go there. Both of you will falling in love with the journey, and you will get the destination. Where both of you love each others. Tons of loves,

You will find someone, you maybe just haven't found the right person. There is somebody or multiple people out there for you, that will love and care and cherish you. You just have to believe and have hope that you will find this person/people. They are out there and waiting to find you, just like you are waiting to find them. And you will know. You will know when you find them because it will feel right. It will feel so right. You will know and you will never want to let them go and they won't want to let you go. That is love. That is love and it will find you. Just have hope. Just hope that you will find this person/people. They are waiting for you. Go find them.

I can understand that you feel anxious about if you you will ever find someone else to love you. I can sense that you may feel scared, worried, disappointed and perhaps rejected. I have as well experienced broken down relationships before and I understand how it feels like. Have you thought what it didn't work out in the previous relationship and why this relationship has broken down? Also, have you thought of how would you feel about being single? Again, what do you think about being ready to start a new relationship and how do you feel you may be doing differently in the next relationship?

yes! of course, you will. It could take a day, a month, a year or it could be just around the corner but no matter what you will be loved and you will be happy. A lot of people think that after one break up that they will never be loved and that is not true at all love is everywhere and it will find you. :) and if anyone need help feeling more confident and anything else message me because I am here for any and everybody.

To find someone to love you, you can't just stay at home and expect for it to happen. Get off of your phone and start socializing with people outside. Love is always around us, that is a fact. Find someone that loves you for who you are. Have faith in yourself, tell yourself that you are worthy of love. I love you and I wish you all the best that life has to offer. Love is truly an amazing feeling and I hope you can find this in your life. Love is incredible and you will find someone who loves you.

I think, yes or may be one day, you'd definitely able to find someone who will love you unconditional, selfless and naturally. This world is all filled with humans, and humans are all full of emotions and the most beautiful emotion is love. So I believe with so many people around you, you will find someone who'd love you. love is something we always exchange among people and just need to realize the love you want from someone and when you find someone, staying, holding on to him is the best thing you can do. So just wait for the person you're looking for, when that person will appear, it'll make you realize that he worth the wait. Because of him only, you'd know why past things didn't workout.

definitely, you gonna tell yourself that you're unique, be active, be positive in the way your thinking, you will achieve goals you want, nothing can stop you. Everyone feels this way at some point in their lives, may it be after a breakup or just after a long time of inactivity in their love lives. There will be someone who will walk into your life and make you see the sun shine brighter than it ever has. Someone will come in to your life and make you question if you even knew what happiness was until they walked into your life. I know it's easier said than done, but whoever that person is, they're out there and they will come. But right now, look around you, you're already surrounded with love. Friends, family, coworkers, everywhere. You are already loved, and that person will come for you when you least expect it.

Yes, and it starts with you, start loving yourself, everything you want from that person give it to you. once you start realizing your worth, the right person will come along but don't search, allow yourself to heal and grow, start doing things you love to do, go places you have not been before, and love will find you when you least expect it.it will get lonely but don't allow yourself to let that fear of loneliness stop you from being the best you. you are worthy of love and the right love will find you always. don't give up

Everyone has experienced this feeling at some point in their lives, whether it was following a breakup or just after a period of inactivity in their romantic lives for a long period of time. A somebody will come into your life and make you realise that the sun is shining brighter than it has ever been before. One day, someone will enter your life and make you question whether or not you ever knew what happiness was before they came into your life. I realise it's easier said than done, but whatever that person is, they're out there and they'll find their way. Take a glance around you, and you'll notice that love is all around you. Everyone, including friends, family, and coworkers, is invited. You are already loved, and the one who loves you will come looking for you when you are most vulnerable.

Yes, ofcourse you will. But until you do, how about yoh start loving yourself first? Maybe take break from "finding someone" and just go with the flow, whilst the journey of "finding yourself and loving the real "you". The person who is meant for you will come into your life at the right time. And when the time comes you'll be ready to love this person with your whole heart, and that person will love you back immensely, because, you deserve nothing less than that. Love is wonderful, and it's out there, trust the power of the universe it will surprise you!

Yes, lots of people love you mainly for your personality, now that I believe in you, you will not feel alone anymore. The most important thing you need to think about is life is full of joy you cant always focus on love but you can focus on having fun and enjoying your life! It does not matter what is on the outside it matters what is on the inside I know it is hard to believe but once you do you will remember this for a long time you can't dwell on the past for the future holds more in its hands

I always believe that when it comes to love, there is no need for us to rush things. Love will find its way to you, love will come in the right time at the right place. No need to feel jealous of others lovelife. For the mean time, focus on yourself. Do the things that makes you happy, explore, and discover. Get to know yourself better, know your worth. So that when the right time comes, you're ready. Do not get into any relationship just because you are bored or feel lonely, be in one because you love the person.
