Britexpat and Speed,
I don't know about others but I do agree that it is better to have love and lost than not to have loved at all. I am a 33 year old woman and never been married but I have been in love a few times and those times were the best in my life. I was actually happy those days. Just imagine if I had never been in love or never been in a relationship, I would have been a complete looser right now..
