sportsbunny Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just a general question...any gender, any sexual preference, any race, any age...I just need answers... What are you/would you be willing to risk for love? Link to comment
Dako Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Well we all risk our sanity, every last one of us. Link to comment
Down-In-A-Hole Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Well we all risk our sanity, every last one of us. LOL, agreed. Link to comment
Msnak Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Dako, you're awesome! LOL! I would risk ... boy, I can't even answer that! I must be selfish! I won't risk my health or life goals. I don't like my career so much, but it's still something I value. Yup, I'm selfish! I would risk looking like an idiot, though. Not looking desperate, though. There's a difference. Maybe I have to meet the right person before I answer this? Link to comment
RayKay Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think you have to risk being hurt (okay, and sanity.....hehe). The fact is even in a loving relationship, with lots of respect and care, there will be times you hurt unintentionally, or are hurt unintentionally. When you are that vulnerable it is normal. Intentional hurt is a whole other boat though, and not something I would get involved in. And there will always be compromise,but I don't think it should ever be you are sacrificing whom you are for someone else. I would never risk losing myself (been there done that), losing my family (too important), my passions (they are part of me ), my individuality (if they can't accept me, they are not the one for me), and my self esteem (again, been there done that).

Msnak Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 RayKay--Ok the way you list everything, that's how I feel. You articulated it well! Cool! Link to comment
WildChild Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Well we all risk our sanity, every last one of us. LOL Dako, couldn't have said it better LOL Link to comment
Mrocza Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 RayKay pretty much covered the basics I think we risk ourselves...as in stability, as in being in control of your mind and your heart...because of, like she said, compromise. I would not necessarily put myself or my individuality on the line, but I think in any commitment/relationship you sacrifice a part of yourself and your individuality from molding your needs with another. I also would not give up my family, my beliefs, my values for someone. I would however, give up my perspective on somethings because I believe in life, regardless of relationship, you learn something new everyday and I'm willing to give up that stability for personal growth- even if it means getting hurt or going a little bit crazy Link to comment
Shadows Light Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'm with Dako on this one. Sanity. Yep... been brought to that edge... Link to comment
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I would risk everything except the love I already have. And my teddy bear. He's cuddly. Link to comment
Shadows Light Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 You have a teddy bear KYO...??? now I'm jealous. I don't have a teddy bear. Link to comment
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yes I do. He is about 30 years old and looks like a Gingerbread cookie with ears. He is old, worn and falling apart. But he is also my safeguard. Call me a big baby whatever, but we all need teddy bears. The fact that I have mine for over 30 years makes me... pathetic actually. Link to comment
nsbguy32169 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Well we all risk our sanity, every last one of us. LOL so right... other than that, my life EDIT ~ wait, is this asking what i would risk for someone I love or just FOR love in general? Link to comment
MyEyesHurt Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I've done some stupid, life threatning things. Well worth it. Link to comment
Dako Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yes I do. He is about 30 years old and looks like a Gingerbread cookie with ears. He is old, worn and falling apart. But he is also my safeguard. Call me a big baby whatever, but we all need teddy bears. The fact that I have mine for over 30 years makes me... pathetic actually. No. Not as bad as me. My stuffed tiger has been with me since my grandmother gave it to me over 45 years ago. Link to comment
DN Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 No. Not as bad as me. My stuffed tiger has been with me since my grandmother gave it to me over 45 years ago. Is his name Hobbes by any chance? Link to comment
Dako Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hobbes the tiger hadn't been drawn when I got my Tiger. I always liked how Calvin was named after the stern moralist and Hobbes after the hedonist philosopher. Kinda cool. Link to comment
DN Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My world has never been quite the same since Calvin and Hobbes walked off into the sunset. Link to comment
Dako Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yeah, I always identified with Calvin. He even looked like me. Link to comment
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My world has never been quite the same since Calvin and Hobbes walked off into the sunset. I was in denial for a few years. I collected every book they ever made. What a classic and boy could I relate! Link to comment
Confessoress Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sanity for sure. But for another example, since love comes in various forms. If I was in the car with my Dad and we were about to have a accident and the only way to save him was to throw myself accross him I wouldn't think twice about doing it. But then again I would probably do that to save someone's child I don't even know, so that's probably not a good example LOL. Link to comment
CarnelianButterfly Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Maybe I'd risk a tic tac. After love you feel like crap, but at least with the tictac you have good breath. Link to comment
drjqd112804 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 To be honest with you, I'm one of the few people I know who would, and have, risked everything for love. I dropped out of school for love (dont worry, im doing good making 15 bucks an hour right now at the sheriffs office), I lost all of my friends for love, I dont talk to my mom much anymore (shes an alchoholic and scared me so its not a big loss), and i have quit multiple jobs for love... All for the same person. I've given everything i've had for love, and i dont regret it. I figure you only live once, love once because true love never dies. Link to comment
lilsmc Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 i think i am afraid to fall in love again!! because heartbreaks are soo hard to mend Link to comment
