Revelation
Illegible just posted the comment:
and it suddenly hit me - the only bad experiences of love that I have had are when I have been unable to attain it in the first place. Which explains why I don't think I 'get' the whole LIAC concept as much as others.
When I did find 'love', even in the loosest possible sense of the concept (pun intended), it never f'ed me up the same way I think it might have others.
I wonder why?
My first experience of love was far more soul-destroying than losing my virginity! But that's for another post...

You'll figure it out one day pumpkin. That will be the day when you wallow in the misery with the rest of our fucked up souls.
Dr. Dre, how is anybody supposed to answer this (if, indeed, you are asking for suggestions) unless you give us some details? What love-related situations have you been in, how did they progress, how did they end? At first glance, it just seems like you've either been lucky, or not really in love at all.
I think we definitely need some scenarios in order to answer your question, as Julietisbleeding said.
Ahem. If the worst experience you've had is being stood up on a second date, then no, you probably won't understand a lot of what's being said here.
Additionally, if you think that things were "magical" by that second date, then I propose that you're at the infant stages of exploring love. Or you're *very* (read: disturbingly) quick to fall in love.
To repeat my prior comment; when your worst experience is with someone you're in love with, then you'll 'get' this site.
When your worst experience causes you to go insane with hatred, despisal and adoration all rolled into one, then I'll shake your hand.
