      Maybe my viewpoint is lopsided, but being almost 20 and never having experienced real (real is the operating word here) romance or physical attraction or been in any kind of romantic relationship at all, I'd say the ups and downs are collectively a better thing to have than the monotony of never having done any of it. Seriously, my life is boring as balls. I'm not hunting for people because a) I have impossible standards I never expect a real human being to actually meet and b)I know frantically searching for a partner to latch onto like most people do is the most surefire way to create a brief, unstable, and unsatisfying relationship. Either I'll stumble across the love of my life or go forever without him/her/it, but I'm not going to jump in the fray with a pickup line and a searchlight. That's foolishness.

      IMO, If you aren't learning SOMETHING from each relationship about yourself, then maybe you aren't going into the relationship with the right mindset.

      It is SO worth it. But there is no way to know that unless and until you find a really good relationship.
      I completely agree P.J. After a failed marriage and a failed relationship right after that, I'm still willing to go through it all again. Simply hoping to not have my heart broken again. But I managed to learn something from each relationship this time. I couldn't do that before. I think I've just about got my head on straight now.

      All the songs I could not sing, All the words I could not say, I'll be shouting everything, On my Independance Day."

      I think more recently I might be having a change of heart... I think when you have someone special and you know it, that maybe those times you have together are worth more than the pain of the interim period of finding someone else should it go wrong...
