what would you give up?

this is going to sound like a strange one,

say you and your mate were having hard times and they told you they needed your gelp with something well potentally life threatening, would you put your whole life on hold to help him/her, or would you give up most of your life for love?


i think it will be an interesting one!!



personally i have put other people in front of me in my life i have treated most people with the most upright respect, i would put my whole life on the line if my mate needed help, i would drop everything like that to be by my mates side, i would stick with them through thick and thin as they are some of the only people i trust,

i wouldn't give up everything for love, as i have no trust to be able to love a guy! saying that now when i find it i properly will do, i wouldn't put my life on hold for a guy unless i was 110% sure i was in love. (sounds incrediably selfish i know)!
It depends because to be honest,I doubt they'd give up their life for me.

However if they want one of my (crappy) kidneys they are more than welcome. I'd donate blood or bone marrow if it would save them/make them better etc.

I'd never give up a lot for a guy though as I have very limited trust in them these days.

OMG! bitter ex! Im unsure, it would depend on how well i knew the person, and how much of a friend they were. But more importantly if they would do the same for me. Would a good test of friendships thou!

:frown:I'm sure there are some nice guys out there...somewhere???

That's awful.I had my drink spiked,it was the scariest thing in the entire world.I had no idea what was going on. My friend who was with me said I 'disappeared' for at least 2 hours that night and to this day,I still have no idea what happened.

indeed some mates i have stuck by no matter what, and ione just told me she could't be bothered to talk to me when i told her i had had a miscarriage also one of my family had been beaten up, and i had money troubles, i was disapointed more then angry, i just told her don;t come to me with things i will simply walk away, she stalks guys and gets annoyed when they tell her where to go. werido really!!

i had the same thing happen to me, only i had a guy actually do stuff to me while i was passed out. luckily one of my mates came along (big australian guy...you don't wanna mess with him!) and rescued me. but my (now ex) bf thought i somehow invited it upon myself! :frown:

the only people i'd give my life for would be my immediate family and my best friend. i could die for them. my other friendships seem too shallow, even though i love my mates to bits you need something really special to love someone enough to risk your life for them.

Yes, I'd give up everything to help my best mate.

Her mum died at home not long ago and she phoned me at 3am and I went to her house in my p.js and stayed with her for a few days. It didn't feel like enough though, but it put everything into perpective for me.

As for love, I'd give up everything for Wzz in a heartbeat because pretty much everything means nothing without him.

I retire to bed at 3 a.m., answer the phone at 5 a.m. to a distraught female voice, and subsequently lie awake until 7 a.m. having been told that she'll call me back; which she then does. I further postpone a much-needed respite to comfort her during the course of the next half hour and, consequently, oversleep to the tune of 3 p.m., missing two lectures in the interim (ones which I would otherwise have attended). When she is incommunicado for the remainder of that day, I duly forego several hours' reading for a tutorial scheduled to take place the very next afternoon in order that I might be 'there', in anticipation of her return. Involved, much?

Maybe, I am a fool; but, maybe, there are some risks that one can't afford not to take.
