Dear Teachers,

1. I have forgotten about her eighty percents. I don't wanna be hurt in love any more.

2. Don't worry too much about love, what will come will come. No one knows whether you will find a girl better than her.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

Not quite natural to say as written. I would recommend rewording this way.

1. I have forgotten about her, for the most part -- maybe eighty percent. I don't want to be hurt in love any more.

2. Don't worry too much about love. What will come will come. No one knows whether you will find a girl better than her.

If written rather than spoken, they would be a little different.

Hope this helps, Steven.
