Have You Ever Been in Love?

I've only ever been in love twice, though I said it lots and never really meant it. I dated quite a few girls that became attached to me pretty quickly so....
 
If my memory serves me, I've only said "I love you" to one girl. And I guess I meant it. I mean, to use the old cliche, I wasn't IN love with her but I did love her as a person.
 
I wonder if the better question would have been, has anyone been in love with you?
 
The ones we love don't love us, and the ones who love us go unloved.
 
Luuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvv stinks!

Yea yea.

My love runs cold...my memory has just been sold, the angel was a centerfold .:cwink:

Anyway. Once for me. She's my only weakness.
 
I've been in love with only two out of the... less than a dozen women I've been with over the years. One of them I'm currently married to. ;)
 
I have actually experienced love at first sight once, and it was the only time I was truly in love as well. She felt the same about me.

I suppose its rare, but it does happen.
 
The only love that a person will ever truly genuinely get is love from family.

Any other love you actually have to work for.
 
Yep. I've been in love several times. While I enjoyed it, love is the most romanticized and ******** emotion portrayed in our(meaning Western) society. Instead of simple explanations for simple things we make up ******** rules to make things somehow more "special." It's really not as complicated as it is unless you make it out to be. I've heard the term "true love" being thrown around a lot, and I think it's really silly. Imagine applying that to other things. "Aww man, I ate a true cookie today. It was pretty awesome!" If true love is the factual representation of what love is, then is other love fake love? To me it's an example of how we like to label things. Oh I was in like, then I was in lust, then I was in love, then I was in TRUE love, then it was "serious," then we were engaged, then we were engaged and going to get married, then we got married, now we're married for realz and thinking about kids, etc. No need for all that. Just love people, treat them nicely, and have fun.

It's like that saying of a cigar being a cigar. Loving someone shouldn't be complicated. You chill, do things you both like, and you have sex all the time.
Truer words have never been spoken. If I had let my idea of what love should be take over my actions almost 3 years ago, I would never be with my adorably sweet bf today. :yay:

When I was infatuated with my first bf, I asked my mom what love was after 20+ years of marriage. And she replied that after a while you don't really feel the lovely-dovey stuff anymore, that the other person is just part of your family. It sounded pretty dire back then, but now I understand what she means. Although my current bf is much more adept at showing his emotions/support than my dad. :funny:

Love means wanting the best for the other person no matter what. When I was with my first bf, I thought I loved him but I didn't. I was a jealous beeyotch who had him on a super-tight leash because being wanted by someone was a huge part of my self-esteem at that time. I think everyone goes through that phase. :funny:

Well, how does family come about in the first place? :cwink:
 
I have been with my current GF for 8 months so far...I kind of assumed that I would've eventually get bored with her by now(or her with me), but as time goes on I still feel the way I do about her from when I first kissed her on our second date. If anything, that feeling gets stronger everyday...The thought of me and her ending depresses the hell out of me...

As a pessimist, I hesitate to call what me and her have as "love." Deep down inside though, I don't give a **** about admitting. I'm in lesbians with her. :hrt:
 
A lot of people are in love with the idea of being in love, so they think they're in love when they're really not.
 
Yes I have...and the experience has left me incredibly cynical. :csad:
 
yes, I did/and still do, believe my feelings for my last girl I was with, were real...

and though, we have since parted ways (an even though things ended pretty badly between us) I've never once question rather or not I loved her... I know, as much as there have been times I wanted to deny it, part of me will always love her
 
I've reallyreally liked people. But have I been in love? No. I think people throw the word "love" around too much.
 
Yes I have...and the experience has left me incredibly cynical. :csad:

Sorry bout that. It's a double edged sword to be sure. I think 500 days of summer is one of the better films about relationships, at least from a male pov anway.
 
We had a star crossed nature about us. I think she was as close as I could get to the idea of love. Did I like her a lot? Absolutely. Did I love her? I was more emotionally capable back then, I was close to it. I am no longer that person though.

I still think about trying to patch up my mistakes from that, despite the fact her cop boyfriend has always wanted to take a swing or two at me.

I have been and the deep hurt it leaves is something I am not sure I want to feel anymore.
