I am a happy gay. I very like to smile. Recently I love a man. He has a pair blue eyes and glod hair. I really like it. I am chinese man. So I like somebody different from me. He says me cute and handsome. He says I am his boy.... and he like me very much. He hug me and I told him.... I love you. But.....he says like is different love. He just like me, that's all. And...he has boyfriend.... I really don't know why he treat me that... It's really painful.... What's love and what's like? I think it all day....but I can't find answer.... Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need I am confuse.......:tears: PS: I am liveTaiwan. Somebody know it?
love needs no explanation, it's often just there it's like a refreshing wind just lifting your hair you know it's love when there's nothing you wouldn't do you'd kill or die for them if you felt you had to. sorry I felt poetic after reading that. I know how you feel, a similar thing happened to me, but just drag yourself through, cause I know right now it seems hard, but it'll get better . . . eventually. I often find that poetry is a beautiful release, just lose yourself in the rhym and the rhythm and pour your emotions in and find the inspiration which little can beat that is a broken heart
First thing welcome to EC. Second, I feel sorry you're in pain (*hug*). Love is a wonderful thing when two people share the same feelings, but it become very painful when you're the only one in love. You asked for the difference between love and like, I am not sure I have an answer. I love my husband, and I love my parents and I love my friends. All these feelings are love for me, but different sorts of love. I assume that what your friend meant when he said he likes you was that he has feelings for your, like friendship feelings, or brothely feelings, or even tenderness, but not love feelings has the one you have for him. I understand it hurts, I have been in love with men that didn't return me my feelings. At least he is not indifferent. I hope you'll find some help and comfort around EC. You're always welcome to contact me if you want. Take care, Eleanor
Hello and welcome to Emptyclosets! I hope you enjoy this site. I'm sorry to hear that your friend didn't have the same feelings for you as you did for him. Often we have VERY strong feelings for the first man we meet once we accept that we're gay. That might be what has happened to you. Try to learn from your experience and move on. There will be someone special for you one day - just wait and see!
