Answer #1

yes :) “Never Regret, Never Forget The Gift From Above Unconditional Love”

Answer #2

If the guy I love said that too me, does it mean he loves me unconditionally?

Answer #3

I think what it basically means that you love somebody sooo much that they dont have to feel the same, they could be a huge jerk to you and u’d still love them, and you dont need to them to love you back. also it could be like your not good enough for the person but you love them so much that you could leave them just so they have a better life and are happier and safer ,hmm read midnight sun it explains a lot

Answer #4

Hey, where did my answer go? Anyhow, this is more or less what I wrote about 15 minutes ago:

Oscar Wilde meant that true love is a matter of giving, unconditionally, and not expecting anything in return.

And when you consider the persecution that he himself experienced as a homosexual in Victorian England, that is an impressive statement!
