  • Love certainly does that for me, i'm much happier, i feel supported in anything i choose to persue, which then gives me the courage and strength i need to follow it through, i also stop being selfish and realise that my other half has goals etc and other commitments which make me want to do all i can for him and others around me.
  • Maybe it does, I think for me it was mainly because my husband was a nicer person and easier to get on with than myself that I was easier going in some things. I always try to be nice to people but I am certainly getting tetchy quicker since he has been gone.
  • When you are in the first stages of having that feeling or are infatuated it is certainly true you tend to look at almost everything from a different perspective; you tend to be more positive and forgiving, for example. That said, I think that after that relationship has developed that perception will eventually change. Of course you might still be "in love" with that person but that won't cloud your vision towards the outside world as much : )
  • Being in love makes me want to be deserving of love in return. My answer is, yes, being in love inspires me to want to be a better person.
  • I would like to think so. It does for me.
  • Without a doubt !!
  • In a roundabout , indirect kinda way, yes. You know that no matter what is happening in the world , you've got (at least) one person in your corner and that's huge.
  • Well I don't know about being inspired to be a better person, but it certainly improves my whole outlook on life; I feel happier, more confident, and more desirable. I also notice that when I'm in love I attract more men then when I'm not, maybe it's the whole being in love vibe that turns them on.
  • -I love the loOove topic :-)..... so in response to the question... -i haven't been in love with a guy yet. I mean, the boy that I went out with in 9th grade..when we were online,he sent me an email telling me he loved me like 10 days after we were "going out" as its put in junior high ..and i think we had some sort of a cute love thing going on.. not the real deal though..esp. since we were so young and i didn't feel as close to him as he did about me..i would think maybe there was cute middle schoolish version love because there was something about him that was special, regardess of not feeling as close to him as he did to me.... -Although its true that i have yet to truly fall in love with someone, I have really liked some guys, and during those times(the feeling of 2 people liking eachother), it makes me really get lost in the moment and enjoy it, and forget about my worries. So it inspires me to be right where I am and recognize the great things that exist in life. :-) :-D :-) great question by the way :-) :-) :-)
  • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Yes, but only for that person, towards that person (and by extension, to some extent, the people that person knows). I'd admit I'm a bit of an oddball, for which I hold my early life largly responsible. I've really got very little time for most people. One of the reasons this site is so important is it's the first time I've really appreciated that people I don't know are, in many ways, like me - human (no disbelieving frowns or questioning looks please). I'm constantly astonished at the better side of human nature I see here. I won't name names - you know who you are. I'm afraid however, that it takes quite a bit of evidence for me to accept the above on a general basis. To me, when it gets right down to basics, most people are nasty, thoughtless, inconsiderate, selfish gits "with no more right to live on God's clean earth than a weasel". (Blackadder II) I'd do absolutely anything for MrsWitch, my 'better half'. She's worth at least 10 of me, and some change. I've tried to be what people might call a 'better person' and in some respects I *have* changed. The 'old' me is still there though, and I can't quite shake the impression I'm given every day that it really isn't worth it to be better (to others), for all the negative behavioural reasons cited above.
  • With TRUE love, yes, it definately should. It will make you want to be better in everything you do, even if it's not related to something dealing with your relationship, or the one you're in love with.
  • Being truly in love just MADE me a better person ..... great question!! Hope you are having a wonderful day :)
  • Definetely, but i'm not so optimistic...i think it can also change perspective and alter the reality. Don't get me wrong, I love being in love and enjoy iu but i'm not sure it really changes people so drastically. Fine question, i like how you used the word "want":)
  • Definitely. I makes me want to be a better person for my significant other more than for myself.
  • sure does!
  • For me it does.
  • The last time I was in love it inspired me to quit smoking, so I think that would be a "yes".
  • Love doesn't inspire me to be better than who I currently am. It does make me enjoy life more and society more. Gives me things to look forward to as well.
  • No i try to be a better person all the time no matter if I'm in love or not i think its just something that i have in me.
  • i think with true love it does..but i wont know till i experience it. but i try to be a better person pretty much every day
  • Yes. Look at Brad Pitt. He never did all that charity stuff before meeting Angelina Jolie. As far as I know. And, yeah, it has altered my perceptions about things and inspired me to be a better person in some ways.
  • Sometimes the evil arm of jealousy will grab a hold of you and make you a monster. Good love will make you a good person while for some reason, when you fall in love the "wrong way" you become a jealous, suspicious, scary monster.
  • What a great question Jode. Yes, I think being in love does make you want to be a better person. So that you can give your best to the relationship and your loved one, in order to sustain the joy that you feel.
  • Yes, because it makes you want to please the other person so much that you change yourself in the process. It can be a good thing and a bad thing. Good Thing: Your work is rewarded with your spouse noticing and the love becomes stronger. Bad Thing: You end up becoming obsessed with trying to change yourself. You constantly find flaws in yourself and try to fix them. You also have a chance of not pleasing your spouse which could lead to possible depression or sadness.
  • Yes , it has worked wonders for me
  • Love makes me strive for greater things, but there is nothing so great as to have that love returned. If I can honestly say that I am loved even half of the amount that I love, then I am a better person, solely for knowing what it is to love and be loved.
  • With another person, or people my answer is yes. If the question is to be in love with worldly riches & things here on this earth, "other" than God's Holy Word. My answer would be no......M.C.S.
  • hmmm...inspire really isn't the right choice of word. It more so motivates me to be a better person, for myself, my lover, and everyone else around me. Why? Because I am in love.
  • Absolutely. I always strive to be the best I can be but the joy of being in love and having a partner in life lets me reach a little higher. =)
  • Ask Jack Nicholson
  • Sorry to break the news. Just thought you should know. Your Batboy is a Badboy.
  • Absolutely. I personally think that when your in love, not only have you do think of how your actions are going to effect you, but also the person your in love with
  • yes... the guy that im with now, hes changed me for the better. made me happier, and (cough) cleaner system too... so yea me being in love with my bf has inspired me to become a better person<<33
  • Yes because if I am in love than I want to make my man happy
  • Yes because if I am in love than I want to make my man happy
  • yes it does, because by makeing my man happy iam happy and vis versa .
  • I think real love always makes us better because love is the essence of goodness.
  • Yes. It makes me want to be a great as my love makes me feel.
  • Being with the person I love, her being who she is and dealing with what she's been through, makes me want to be a better person.
  • No- Its worse being a rugged individualist handcuffed emotionally to someone else.
  • you certainly get the endorphins...to be a better person.
  • most definitely I know that was the case for me I am a much better person when I am inlove I am still inlove with my last sweetheart and because of her I have become a far better man for it it's been a little less than 2 and a half years since we were a couple but life goes on cant sweat the small stuff
  • Kind of, but something that I have with my husband that I've never had with anyone else is that when I'm with him I already feel like a better person in the sense that I like who I am with him. I don't know if that makes sense, but it is what it is..
  • Yes being in love inspire me to be a better person because it makes you want more things out of life.
  • Being in love, and more importantly being loved, makes me more secure in the person I already am. If it aint broke don't fix it.
  • Yes it does. Love is an awesome thing. Of course it inspires me to be a better person because it makes me feel... good. (I'm not trying to sound like a phscyiatrist)
  • For me ? Yes ! Definitely !
  • Being in love inspires me to be better in everything, it puts you up above everthing else and places you on a plane of happiness that you feel you can never come down from, it changes the way you talk, eat, sleep, and the way you think, nothing is the same when your in love because the whon you share this feeling with is always on your mind, accept the chance and let it inspire you to become better, because with it, your 1000 times better than you were already.
  • Yes, I think it does. I think that being in love is a positive experience that can only lead to more positive (re)actions.
  • my ex bf used to be the worst kid on the block. now he thanks me everyday for showing him there is more to life than immature things that "make you look cool" so yea.
  • yea it does. it makes me happy, be a better person, makes the sun shine brighter, and makes me more outgoing. just overall better person.
  • YES. SINCE I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MY NOW HUSBAND: I HAVE QUIT SMOKING QUIT BITING MY NAILS ENROLLED IN AND GRADUATED COLLEGE GOT A FULL TIME JOB FIXED MY CREDIT AND ALL THOSE THINGS WITH MINIMAL IF ANY EFFORT. I AM HAPPY AND WITH THAT I HAVE THE MOTIVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING. WE COMPLEMENT EACHOTHER AND ARE BETTER PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE TOGETHER. DON'T GET ME WRONG I WOULD BE FINE WITH OUT HIM, BUT IT SURE IS FUN TO BE WITH HIM
  • it does for me if the person is the person you would think kids would like to be like you have to always look at the relationship from all angles if you dont the person can change you an you must keep control of yourself
  • yes because in being treated better you end up treating others better
  • well not so much being in love, but the fact that he is a typical guy wanting a girl who is skinny with big boobs, but he'll never admit it. that makes me want to change myself so he looks at me like he does the girls in the movies.
  • Yes it does.
  • Being in love is such a great feeling, yes, that makes me want to be a better person.
  • I think getting involved in love is really great. I think love inspires me to be better person. Having sex after being in love is really important. A women is the only thing a guy wants, because he's lonely, he need a partner. I love women, but why don't they like me. Will you please answer me. I am not bad looking,and but I want a women in my life.
  • Yes, being in love does inspire me to be a better person. You started to giving respect to others people and there feelings
  • Yes because you want to show your true love how much he/she means to you.So of course being in love inspires you to be a better person.
  • Oh most definatley. There are some things that i have done in my past, that I am not real proud of. Since being with him, i have strived to become a better person, one that would make him proud to be with, and not cause him any shame, or humility in the long run. He inspires me to work harder, to laugh more often,and to love harder with every beat of my heart.
  • yes it certainly does. i am happy with myself and where my life is at the moment, and i think that you need to be comfortable with who you are before being able to love another for who they are. but at the same time,for me at least, it does make me want to continue my life in a better direction and do things in a positive manner because i know i have someone else who loves me maybe even more than i love myself at times and would be very hurt if i were to do negative things to myself or my life.
  • Yeah, I want to be what he seems to think I am. Plus I know I have a lot of work to do and he gives me another reason to fix myself.
  • Yes it does.
  • yeah it does isnt that wierd lol
  • being in love with my boyfriend has changed me in so many ways. before we were together, before i was in love i was depressed. i suffer from severe ocd and depression. i never did anything to help myself. i sat in my room everyday alone. being in love has taught me to reach out to the people around me. i help people, im more accepting of people. I also am driven to succeed and become a better person in life, all i want to do now is help myself become better so that i can help people with their life. My boyfriend, my lover, my best friend has saved me from myself. He is my angel, hes done so much more than just inspire me. He's driven me and when i feel doubtful he stands in my way and doesnt let me turn back. Love is all its cracked out to be, though love is anything but blind! because love sees every flaw, but accepts them.
  • Being in love is like wearing rose colored glasses, the flip side is dark tinted shades. While the rose colored ones are still on....yes! Because the world appears to be bright and full of happiness.
  • I was thinking about this very question today while walking. It occurred to me that not only does being in love with someone make me want to be the best I can be for their sakes, but for my sake as well. I want be someone I can love. Self-love is very much like romantic love in that way. Love, no matter the kind or from what source, inspires us to be better.
  • It really does.
  • It absolutely does! Giving love and getting love in return is the most intoxicating feeling in the world. When you are in love, you are happier and in turn you want to share that happiness with others. It not only inspires you to be a better person but it almost automatically makes you a better person because you realize how truly blessed you are to experience those type of feelings so you project a lot of positivity.
  • Yes. It makes you want to be all that you can.
  • it could but not always.
  • yes it does, when your happy you just want everyone else to be too.
  • Definately Jodie, It has made me a better person. My husband comes from a totally different culture from mine. His family values are a lot higher than mine were. It has bought me closer to my family. :D
  • Yes. DEFINATELY
  • yes...because you want to be a better person for that special someone.you want to be a better for him/her because of love
  • For sure, i got a girl to quit smoking last night after singing her a song on the spot on my geeetar, it was amazing, soooo, when some one is told by the person they are attached that they need to change or else its not gonna work, you'll some change's ever so fast,
  • It has for me.
  • Yes, being in love makes me want to get up each morning and start the day. It makes me want to be a better person by just wanting to do things right. It helps me understand how you can hurt people with your words
  • It does for me...I think that's a good sign, since we all could use improvement, well most of us!! lol
  • Yeah, because you'd wanna impress the person you like.
  • Of course, with love comes happiness and being content< sounds backwards but when I feel like my life is settled and good, I don't want that to leave. Happiness is addictive and carries over to even the most boring tasks but in other situations: I feel electric.
  • Love does inspire me to be a better person..im actually trying to be a better person for my baby rite now...unlike other relationships..i cant lie to him, argue, or say bad words

  • I Kinda Put Myself down. I Think A lot To Myself, "I Will Never be That Good", Then I Quit Completely... But, I Find My Own Way, My own Way To be...Myself
  • Love brings out the best in people.
  • I think it does. I know I have met a few girls that really made me want to go for the gusto, in whatever I did. Love is a wicked drug.
  • In my opinion it really does, only if you're happy in your relationship. Because that person brings out the best in you and you always want to feel the way you feel when you're with that special someone......
