It is really hard to explain. You get to know someone and then can't stop thinking about them and want to see them constantly. From there you go to dating if the feeling is mutual or they want to give you a chance or whatever there reason is. Then feelings strengthen and all the while you are basically intoxicated on the person. Hearing their name gives you butterflies and you realise you kinda are in love and it is completely wonderful and makes everything bright and colourful. You'd do anything for this person and making them smile is like winning the lottery. You just don't feel alone one bit even when you are.

It is a glorious sunshine filled feeling. Then things go wrong for whatever reason, they can't see you as more than a friend or they are moving or worse yet, they like another person. This is where it feels like open heart surgery with zero medicine while you are wide away. It breaks you and makes you jaded to love in general. It is the worst feeling in the world. But three words from someone who caused such pain can make it completely go away. It's more addicting than imaginable.

The feelings you get are amazing but as with all of life it is a struggle and people break you down. It is a risk you have to take to maybe have a chance at happiness.

Oh, and

I'm sure you could argue that  n_u

It is hard to get out of once you jump in. You can be completely jaded and bitter, but when another new person comes into your life you kinda forget all the shitty feelings and go back to the good. It can be a pretty vicious cycle but it can be so worth it. 

It does suck when it goes bad cause through the time you're with someone they infect tiny bits of your life. A song here, aand a movie here. Then when you are trying to get over them it just makes it harder and harder.

Still so worth the good.

yes, but my point is that the overwhelming majority of all the "shots" taken result in depression at best; only one, if you're lucky, might actually be permanent

why try if i'm almost guaranteed to fail no matter how many times i've tried in the past and in those post-failure states i'm worse off than if i hadn't tried at all sillydood;

Cause the depression is just filler

I'm really hurt and jaded at the moment as I just got out of my 7 monther and all those things have been said and got back to me via friends/etc, but I would do it all again.

I've never been in love, but this is how a good friend of mine who was in a serious relationship explained love to me:
Love is the ultimate drug. Nothing feels better than being around the person, and when you're not around the person, you can't stop thinking about them to the point where you can get depressed if you go too long without seeing them. It's like a withdrawal.

I've been in not so serious relationships before and I can definitely see the appeal. I'd like to find a girlfriend this year  n_n

i think marriage is completely beside the point anyway because i personally don't think marriage should be some sort of default "end goal" for relationships

To clarify, I don't think dating is stupid or wrong in any way, I just think it's funny that we expect it to go well when we are all fully aware that the probability of eventual failure is extremely high.  Upon hearing "X is now going out with Y" -  type news, I can't help but think, "That's nice, but how long until the inevitable break up?" sillydood;

[spoiler]and upon hearing "X is no longer going out with Y" - type news, i can't help but think, "well that's unfortunate, but with all the break-ups the world has experienced in the past, couldn't they see that coming lol :|"[/spoiler]

I simply acknowledge that very few romantic relationships actually last "till death do them part", and admittedly it's pretty funny that we can be so optimistic about something almost guaranteed to eventually fail. sillydood;

but it's not like i wouldn't make the same mistakes or anything, unfortunately i too am only human :|

[spoiler]which is why i will never pursue a romantic relationship :|[/spoiler]
