..probably the wrong place to ask, but different perspectives help i suppose. Im.. confused. Help?

Dylan says:
im just not that kind of person. If i see a problem i need to fix it, i simply can't ignore it. I guess i will have to wait before im ready. 6 months? a year? 10 years? 30 years? however long it takes.

Lee;; Where the hell are you when i need you? says:
whats the problem with dating someone. theres no problem there

Dylan says:
but there is. im still trying to figure out what "liking" someone actually means, the difference between friends and more than, whether its just a physical expression or whether the concept of love can actually exist. And if it does why must it be expressed? Is that not just a function of our genes and instincts as opposed to a connected feeling?

Dylan says:
but if thats the case how can i "like" someone at all, i have friends who i like for their personality and i think they are attractive as a generic statement, but would that not make them by definition someone i should like? Or is there more to it?

Dylan says:
Does cupid really exist or not? Is this a self perpetuated idea brought upon us by whats expected of society? Can one man truly live alone?

Dylan says:
these are the things i need to figure out..

Lee;; Where the hell are you when i need you? says:
u will know when your in love trust me. you will. your heart will tell you.

Dylan says:
but wheres the proof? wheres the ideals that our hearts even exist? Have you seen your heart? Do you know it exists? have you held it? How do you know it has a conscience? How can you know that its making the decisions as opposed to your mind? Since when does a heart, a simple organ made for transmitting blood, be capable of transmitting and dictating emotions?

Lee;; Where the hell are you when i need you? says:
the heart im talking about isnt an organ. its more of a feeling then anything else.

Dylan says:
again thats just your mind telling you that it exists, but thats little more than accepting the concept exists without actually proving it

Dylan says:
its a false sense of reality being pushed onto you by the way society brings us up.

Dylan says:
we are animals, plain and simple. "animals" dont find love, they mate and leave

Dylan says:
so.. why dont we?

He has several points, but combines them with being a twat who's thinking too much.

You misunderstood. I am that twat, im cross contemplating my opinions with what you people think. Frankly i dont know what to think. I have no where to turn but here, hoping someone has some sort of enlightened perspective? A new angle to look at? Something im over looking? bleh.

The state the purpose of the posted MSN conversation, as for how it is now, people can only reflect on thje conversation itself, not on the meaning behind it you are trying to find.

simple. we aren't animals. ur dilemma solved. what was it that descartes said: "i think, therefore i am"

...lol, wait, u'r the perfect example of that phrase!

"Out of Sight - Out of Mind."

Before the dawn of large nationalist society most men had several wives OR they courted, fcked, and left. Even after that people still had several lovers. I don't think I've ever been in love. I've liked-liked ( ) someone before. I usually run away from long-term commitments.

"Long Term Commitments - Fuck em, I'm young."

lol?
Explain that plz.

That dylan is being a retard, he's trying to be smart and philisophical or something, but he's just being dumb, what he was saying about the heart, well, one, yes, I have felt my heart, just put your hand to your chest and there it is, and it's just a retarded idea to begin with to think you can even exist (and be alive) without a heart. Also, hearts don't create emotions, like he said, that happens in the brain.
Then what the other guy says is true, he's smart, he says it's more of a feeling, and you know when you're in love, and that's rue.

Dylan is just being stupid and he needs to learn how to just live his life and stop complaining or whatever. If he's so worried about being hurt or whatever, then he should make up his own mind, but I say it's better to have loved then lost instead of never loved at all.

I find it strange, though. and somehow it intregues me.

I have till now only found lust withing my life, but no love. My heart doesn't start pounding everytime I meet a new girl I like.

I don't see how this bloodpumping organ in my chest can tell me which girls I like, and which I dont. My mind does, maybe, but maybe it's just because I've never experienced it.

I never said : I love you, while meaning it.

When it would be sinsere, I don't know if I could get it out of my mouth properly.
