What to do to break-proof our hearts?

Not the Fallen

Hearts aren't mean to be "break-proof". That's kind of what love and caring is all about. That's the risk about love is that you place your faith in trust in someone else. I guess to soften the blow one can really get to know the person that they want to give their heart to. THis is really hard because you hear of divorce and the like from couples that have been married for over 10 years and such.

I know from each heart break I've had, I've learned and grown from it. I realize that it's hard to say when you're right in the middle of a heart break (which I am) but that's the brain talking. The heart doesn't tend to listen during that time.

I guess if one doesn't to express / accept love then they can become an embittered grouch that just hates everyone. Life's too short for that.

You can't. Every relationship requires being vulnerable and opening yourself to someone else in the hope they'll return your affection, even if some don't. You can be prudent in whom choose to do so and then take the risk. It's either that or get one of 'em new fandangeled metal hearts transplanted in there.

Avoid others. Become a loner.

After all, isn't it better to get your heart broken and end up finding love than having a perfectly fine heart but never being loved?

Be selective and smart in whomever you choose to share it with.

When you begin a relationship be realistic and really think about what you want with that particular person....most people want to be in relationship so badly they take who ever comes along---and usually gets their hearts broken....I guess take time getting to know the person you are getting in a relationship with.

Before giving too much of yourself to another person, be sure he or she is a good match for you.
Keep your own life, hobbies and interests...don't just drop everything and depend on the person for your happiness.
Always keep in mind that the relationship could end at any time and remember that it doesn't effect your self-worth.

But hearts that love are the only hearts that can be broken. Don't you think it's worth the risk? Just make sure you to trust your instinct about someone before you give them your heart.

Do you know those old ladies who end up lonely with 50 cats? You need to ask them. Really, the only way is to become a recluse or a b*tch, and I would much rather have my heart broken than be either of those!

That's a tough one. All you can do is be selective in who you are dating. Try and date someone you know who is a kind person.

Dont break it in the first place. No break in heart no heart breaks
