"If your loved-one doesn't love you, don't complain.

You see, there are also people you don't love but love you...so call it even."

*     *     *      *     *

"If you wait for someone to flirt with you, nothing will actually happen in your life...

You must also initiate the flirting."

*     *     *      *     *

It's just like taking the elevator. Why would you cram yourself in if you know that there is no more room for you. There's always the stairs, you just don't want to acknowledge it.

Yes, it's true. You love someone who's already in love with another and there's one person who has been waiting for you all this time. Well, love triangle is excruciating and really hard to deal with. This situation can make you suffer because you can’t get things exactly the way you want them to. It’s like a roller coaster ride for you and this may take a long one for you.

"Why too much? Could it not be acceptable if we make thank you exactly just right?

It would be such a waste if we can’t use its surplus."

*     *     *      *     *

"Use your heart to care for a person who’s closest to you.

Use your brain to take care of yourself."

That’s how you should do it. These lines can be slap on the face of someone who hurt you. No matter how hard they try, some people can’t just refrain themselves from cheating. Getting betrayed or cheated by the person you love is really painful and it’s a difficult process before you can move on even after the infidelity or a relationship has ended. Once you found out that your boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on you, try to tell this message to them.

"Everybody would take love seriously if they are hit hard.

It's just that not all are strong enough to resist temptation."

*     *     *      *     *

"It's just like taking the elevator. Why would you cram yourself in if you know that there is no more room for you? There's always the stairs, you just don't want to acknowledge it."

If you love someone and he/she doesn't, just let it be.

Who knows that in the following days, you'd come to not like him/her anymore.

It's just a matter of who goes first.

*     *     *      *     *

It's hard to land a role in a person's life,

especially if you are not the protagonist in the script he/she chose.

*     *     *      *     *

Do you know how far the distance is between two people if they've already turn their backs on each other? You have to go around the whole world just to face again that person whom you have given up.

This makes sense. People tend to hold on to their relationships even if they are no longer happy. If you feel that the spark has gone and things will not work out anymore then take the first move. Parting ways could be the best option for the both of you.  Instead of enduring the pain, be brave enough to tell her/him that everything is not the same way it used to be. It could hurt but it will be worth it. Just let it go.

"Let go of the things that hurt you even if they make you happy.

Don't wait for that day when all that's left is the pain,

and the one who makes you happy left you."

*     *     *      *     *

"If you love two people, choose the second one.

It's because you wouldn't fall for another if you really love your first."

*     *     *      *     *

"The ears, if put together shaped like a heart.

Ears are the extension of the heart, so if you know how to listen,

you know how to love."

*     *     *      *     *

"Though not everything you thought is corny, really isn’t.

Sometimes it may be you who has no sense of humor and consistency

because you force yourself into becoming different."

Funny Love Quotes and Messages That Really Make Sense

Love can be defined in so many ways and it's not just about getting butterflies in your stomach. Well, it can also be a funny thing like watching a romantic comedy movie on a Saturday night that's bound to make you cry and laugh. How many of us wish that falling in love has traffic lights so that they would know if it's good to go, slow down or just stop? They might be stuck in traffic though. Have you heard that love is a form of amnesia which is common to girls? Yes, it can make you forget that there are other people in this world and not just you and him. So when he breaks up with you for no valid reason then move on because probably there's another guy out there waiting for you to be single again. Well, some relationships are like fat people, they don't work out. But don't worry as one day, there will be that someone you will meet along the way and make you realize why things didn't work out with anyone else.

All the butterflies in your stomach just died in one single moment. The moment he turned away from you. Every time you try to move on, memories are holding you back. Each and every day is a endless nightmare. You saw him holding hands with someone else like the way you used to do. Pain has just started to spread and your eyes tried to hold the tears. He smiles the sweetest but not at you and things started to lingers in the corner of your mind. It was you before and it's now her. The couch where you used to sit together is so cruel, right?

Falling in Love with a Friend Who Can't Love You Back

Things changed suddenly. You’re listening to your playlist and days seem so uncomfortable. When your ears are tired, you would just want to lie on your bed and closed your eyes but sleep is so hard to get.  Pain will start to crawl over into your chest, in your stomach until it consumes your whole body. Then you will hug your pillow and realized that you can't be just like that so you'll try to do something. Things still hurt. Really hurt. You used to go to your favorite hangouts and go back home from school together. You were friends for so long. How many times he told you that you are his friend? You can't even remember and all you know is you're getting sick of being his buddy. More than a friend.  His girlfriend – that’s what you want to be. He got a girlfriend and you were asking yourself if you have the right to be jealous. When that girl broke his heart, you hated her and how much you wanted to say, “I’m just here. Let me be your girlfriend”. You don't even know how you are going to tell him that you're falling in love with him. But because you're so hopeless you had an ounce of courage to tell him but then it was not a good move.

You lose him in just one moment and it's been days since the last time you saw him. We hope you can reflect from these messages about Falling in Love with a Friend Who Can't Love You Back :

"Heart to heart talks,

Holding hands…

Learning on shoulders tight hugs

Goodbye kisses, half meant jokes

Sweet complements..

Then just Friends? Are you kidding me"?

"Be contented on what you have..

But know when to to the first move..

When you feel that you love each other

More than just a friend…"

*      *      *      *      *

"Whether you choose to take the next step

Or keep the feeling inside..

Important thing is you’re happy

And you still have each other…"

Truth is going to hurt and you have nothing to do but to accept it. You've done everything for him in hope that someday he will recognize all your efforts and eventually will feel the same way. He does appreciate everything. He loves you. Yes he does but just as a friend. Could not be more than that.

"It's better to be just friends with the one I love

because in the end, no hearts will be broken,

no love is wasted, no commitment will be torn apart".

*      *      *      *      *

"Love comes in our life in a very tricky way…

Sometimes, we think we’re in love not knowing

That we’re really just friends…

But sometimes we stick too much to friendship…

That we forget we’re in love…"

*      *      *      *      *

"You can never be just friends with someone you used to love,

because a little part of you will always love them".

*      *      *      *      *

"I know we’re just friend

But I still smile everytime

I see your name come up on my phone".

True! Sometimes you can't have both friendship and love. You should never expect that he will always feel the way you do. You have to choose between the two else things will never be the same and definitely you can't afford to see him go. Well, the truth is, he just can’t love you in return. There's no new chapter to a story that you want to start. Once you let him know, it could be the start of the end so you better think twice.

"Should I smile because we’re Friends?

Or should I cry because that's all we'll ever be"

*      *      *      *      *

"You may think that we're just friends,

But you really don’t know how much you mean to me"!

*      *      *      *      *

"We're close but I know I'm just a friend to you,

a friend by your side watching everything you do,

a friend who would never leave you for someone new,

a friend who won't make you feel blue.

A friend you see, who happened to fall for you."
