As a result of this I've decided that life is more enjoyable without relationships of that sort. To have feelings that overwhelm you and drive you to do things you normally wouldn't consider only to realise they're not returned is something I can do without in my life.

The way i see it is:
To love means to accept the extremes. To enjoy the highs you have to suffer through the lows. Not loving at all is to take the middle ground - spare yourself pain but deny yourself happiness. And which road you take is totally up to you and what you want to get out of life.
I'm 28 and I've been through some VERY rough patches in my life - but I wouldn't trade them in for the world if it meant I had to give up on the euphoria I've also experienced.
