Well, I was not making a statement about right and wrong. The point I was
trying to make was that the statement "You should sleep/live/whatever with
someone before you marry them because you'll know if you're compatible" is
not necessarily correct. There's more to the issue than that.

Sounds like a reasonable reason to break up.

You had to _choose_ between them?  Why?  (Do you think they can't coexist?)
And why did you "choose" the latter rather than the former?

>choice, I selected the later.  It has been (and will be) difficult,

Why?

>The terminology of love is confusing, unfortunately.  
It's only confusing if you don't bother to think about it and clarify
your notions.

>Is it possible to love someone and not want to be in a
>romantic relationship with them?  

Of course.  Consider your parents.  (I know not everyone loves their
parents, so feel free to insert any appropriate person...)

>Is it possible to love unconditionally while still being 
>selective about a mate?  

No.  Unconditional means not subject to conditions.  If you want to be
selective about a mate, if you don't want to just love anybody who
comes along (which is what truly unconditional "love" would be--and
how meaningful would it be?) then you have to have some selection
criteria--some conditions.  (Maybe the criterion that your love
interest be female, for instance.  That's a condition.)

>I believe that it _is_ possible -- and now I tread that course.

You're wrong.  Your notion of 'unconditional love' has very little to
do with more practical forms of love, and has almost nothing to do with
'romantic love.'  (Romantic love, for instance, requires that one
respect and admire one's partner.  Those are certainly conditions.) 

Good luck trying tho.

I agree.  That's why it's called _romantic_ love, after all.

Ok, I know people like that, and I have gone into stages where I have done
just that, smoked continually for a week, but then you realize how bad off you
are.  If they can't stop smoking, there is something wrong.  I don't know if i
am strong willed or what, but i have comitted to stop doing it for a while.
It ruins the fun of it, and makes you totally lazy and non-interested in
anything or anyone.  I'll tell ya, if these people smoke all the time, they
really are probable depressed about something and have let it get the better
of them, so they smoke all the time.  It is very easy to do.  If you really
like them, and want to help, ask about things.  School, parents, any
pressure...  If it is bad and they really don't see the light, go away for a
camping trip without any weed.  First off they won't need it, I know I didn't,
then try to strengthen the relationship.  Remember, off in the woods, there is
no stress at all.  If anyone wants to talk more on this, write me or post.  I
have some really good experiences and I know how to deal with it.
