Than never to have loved at all.[/b]
[i]Would you agree with him[/i] based on your experience of lost love?

when you are young, attempts at love are always a bumbling confusion that leaves you heart broken. If she is kind, then you will have that feeling, after the broken heart has healed, of "Yeah, I did that, she was beautiful, I learned a lot " Those experiences are golden

Hi TexChik. I agree, part of the attraction of new love is it's naive innocence. Innocent blundering is extremely forgivable but beware it is also easily exploited, which is less forgivable the more cunning and calculated it is. How do you tell the difference? By making mistakes I'm afraid.
