I'm in CFM right now, reading Pride and PRejudice and feeling like a complete sap. I really like this story so much. It's the ultimate love story, in my opinion, and I can't help feeling like an idiot for saying that. I mean.. it isn't really real if you know what I mean. I don't think that love has ever happened in such a way. I know it's never ( Read more... )

I think that you are trying to find love all at once right now...and that's your problem...well, i don't really know if that's exactly what your problem is because you are far to screwed up for me to determine that right now lol...but you can date a bunch of people and decide by dating them if you love them...love doesn't happen by just looking at someone...considering you love Pride and Prejudice, you should know that Darcy didn't even like Elizabeth the first time he looked at her...he said she was "tolerable"...you gotta work to find love...and yes you're right love is about pain, but what you get out of being in love is much greater than pain.

I'm not trying to find love. I'm not trying to find any kidn of romance at all. It would be nice, but I I'm not actually making an effort.That's the thing. I just don't know what all the fuss is about. It is so rare that I ever hear about people finding love and I actually can see it and beleive it that I don't see why I should go out of my way to try andd find a man who more than likely isn't my true love , and who i will kid myself over for a few years until I come to the realization that I have really wasted y time with hi because I just don't have those types of affections for him. I think that people just become so consumed in their boy friends and girlfriends, it's so silly. I think that Jane Austen's picture of love is a very attractive one but I don't think I will ever be able to have that sort of love. I am certainly not going to break my back looking for it.

I hope that love I can find that kind of love. I was telling you in english earlier. I always lose myself in books like that. 19th century romances. I don't think the authors of these books ever experienced such a love. They dreamt of it, and it shows that our hearts haven't changed so much in a hundred years or so. I know that i myself want a love that consumes me completely. I want to love someone! i know that it will probably bring more pain than love, but i still want to fall in love. In fact, I want a forbidden love based on passion. I however find too many flaws in people, people i initially like. When i finally get a chance with them, i end up being disgusted by them. Their incentive obviously wasn't romance. I guess i haven't felt that chemistry or have i? Yes i have to be honest! how could i forget? The guy i met over the summer, so much chemistry!! i wanted to smother him in kisses right there and then. But i couldnt, i didnt want him to get the wrong idea of me. We went to a cafe on top of a hill that overlooked the city ( ... )

It certaily is possible. The thing about Darcy and Elizabeth is they are both quick people.. not fast but.. clever. They get things other people don't and they are able to see through ost things. However, they both have their faults. Darcy's is pride. He is too proud and arrogant to even acknowlege Elizabeth as a human being at first. Even when he proposes arriage to her, he is proud in his somewhat pridefull. He is humbled when he is rejected by elizabeth, who in turn, has too many prejudices against people, darcy the most. She thinks she is always right about people, because she is usually so good at seeing through them. She is an observer. But when she realizes that she let herself become deceived by the charasatic Wickham, she is humbled, and they both realize that they need to reform them selves a little, and not be so extreme in their ideals. The fact that they are both propted to change because of one another is just.. it's love. It's being energized by soeone, motivated, instead of being constantly steered into a negative path ( ... )
