I feel an aching pain when I listen to certain pieces of music or watch a movie about selfless love. Why doesn't love like that exist anymore? And why am I feeling this way, when I don't want a relationship nor do I believe in love?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I listen to pieces of music that somehow pulls on my heartstrings and makes me ache with sadness inside, I look at couples and I feel happy seeing them together, I watch films with tears in my eyes that makes me wonder why love like that doesn't exist anymore, like titanic for example. It gets me every time and l always think will I ever meet someone as amazing as he was, that will make me so happy and look at life the way he showed her. Why can't love like that doesn't exist anymore, or if love can be that strong that you'll sacrifice your own life for someone.

When I watch those sort of films, or listen to certain music and watch the people around me.. it's hard to explain, but I feel this aching pain inside, sort of like there's nothing there, just emptiness and sadness hoping for something.. But I don't know what?

I've only started feeling like this during the last two month and it's worrying me, I don't know what's happened? I first thought it was the wanting of a relationship, or to be in love. But it can't be since I don't like the idea of a relationship, nor do I believe in love, i've never been one of those people. I'm still not! And yet I feel like this and I don't know why, or how I can get rid of this feeling?!

A reader, anonymous, writes (7 May 2012):

Your head is saying you don't want a relationship nor do you believe in love. But you SOUL is telling you differently. Your soul is yearning for a mate. You have some 'issues' to overcome in your head before you will be open to the possibility of a true love relationship. We are made to love. Love is the most important thing in this human experience. It took me years to work that out, and friends my age are learning that fact too. Love doesn't have to be in the form of a romantic relationship, it can be love for friends, family, children. But it sounds like your soul is yearning for more.

You may need to explore the reasons why you are thinking you don't want a relationship. And expore the reasons why you don't believe in love. Have you been hurt? Have you watched other people you love get hurt/abandoned/damaged by love?

chigirl agony auntWhat makes you think love like that doesn't exist "any more". Like if it did exist at some point, but became extinct.

Love is love, not bio-diversity. Love can grow and be just as strong and selfless as your heart is capable of. But if you can not find love withing your own heart, and can not give it, then no.. you will not experience it.

You don't believe in love? Do you think love is a myth? Extinct? Or, perhaps, have you just not seen it or felt it yourself? Two very different things. Love is out there. But what's more important is that you need to have a heart capable of giving love. My guess is that you've become a bit emotional about love scenes lately because, perhaps, your heart is starting to explore this (to you) new feeling.
