Poll: Ever been in Love?

[Gudrests]

I am in love. I believe it can be real for people. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Some people are players, heartbreakers, golddiggers, users, abusers. But most people live in hope that they will find that person they love and want to be with. I almost lost the love of my life, and i never want to feel like that again. If you can find someone you can't live without, that you want to wake up beside every morning go for it. It doesn't matter if you want to get married or not. Or if you are straight, gay, or bi, pretty much everyone deserves at least a little bit of love. Never give up hope. Because if you find that person and let them go, you will probably regret it.

yeah, i'm a 19-year old girl, but I know something when I see it.

How right you are, unfortunately sometimes love just isn't enough. No matter how much they know they love each other,and how much they care for each other, Sometimes...it really just sucks....really really sucks...lol. But hey anyone who has been in love has to admit...don't get much better than that. And if they get there shit wrecked by it can also agree....she/he was a crazy ass lol

I've convinced myself I was in love before. As I'm getting older, I'm starting to come under the impression that love is just a polite way of summing up the idea that you could stand to be around someone as well as bone them for the rest of your life. So what does that amount to? A partner who is at least not as annoying as your other friends and is a wonder in bed to boot.

Love is a delusion meant to breed dependence and fear. The dependence stems from the idea that, if you love someone, then you are pretty much stuck with that person (although love has conveniently never been officially defined, leaving it open for both interpretation and abuse). The fear stems from the idea that, if you don't have someone's love right now, then you must be failing at life.

If you believe that you are in love, then you probably are and there's no way I or anyone else could convince you otherwise. Of course, that's sort of similar to how I can't convince a schizophrenic that the voices he's hearing are actually just his own random thoughts.

Still married and incredibly in love with my beautiful wife, 7 years in October!

 

[Infernai]

Closest thing i've had to love is a high-school crush: We still keep in contact to a degree, and i guess i still like her but i havn't really revealed my feelings at all...chiefly for the reason that she's already in a relationship with someone. So...i guess the second one sort of first what i'm going for.

 

[Jeff Loper]

Yes, but it was not meant to be.. The way it turned out I've kinda of given up / Forever alone.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Yeah it's been done before. It's just a fun poll. Don't come here to troll.

Ever been in love? If so, how old were you at the time? If not, do you know why?

As for me, I fall into the last category of the poll.



EDIT: Because everyone is going into detail I thought I would do the justice of explaining myself too. I've never been in love. I've never met anyone who liked me or been in love with me. I've only been in one relationship and it was over quickly because there was just nothing there... I don't think I'll ever fall in love nor do I think I will ever find someone I like 'that way' that also likes me. So... long story short, I've given up on all hope. I'll just focus on career now.

I've been in love, and I am now. It's great, having someone in your life. Unfortunately this person is 3000 miles away, so I really want to see her pretty much every day.

It makes me feel wonderful inside every time I see her face, that's for sure.

 

[chaos order]

sigh no... nvr been on a date either lol

 

[Biosophilogical]

I believe it exists, and I probably haven't felt it, nor do I know how it feels, but I imagine it is one of those things that you don't truly understand until you've been through it yourself.

 

[janerowdy]

Almost got married even, that would have been a disaster. She and I weren't to be.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well the definition of love is very vague but ya I was the blind submissive slave of others plenty of times (not including the army).

Every time it turns out the same, I create this perfect image of someone and that image then starts to shatter as the person is no where near what I imagined.
But atleast the dopamine trip is fun and the withdrawal not somuch.

 

[Tdc2182]

I don't think I've ever been in actual love.

With every girl I've been with, there was always the "I have no intention of carrying this on forever, it will most likely end before summer vacation" in the back of my head.

I've definitely have known girls that I've loved, but I have definitely not been in love

Edit: There has always been a girl I've known that I could never completely forget about. She dumped me a few years back for some odd reason right before we could hit our prime.

She's in another state away from me now, but I made a deal with myself if that she ever came to visit here or I ever randomly met up with her in California, I'd try to ask her back out on a date. Maybe there is something that we could never reach.

Yeah it's been done before. It's just a fun poll. Don't come here to troll.

Is the last category of the poll not what love is?

Plus, how would you know what love is if you just shut yourself off from it? I know it's just an old saying, but there is literally a shit ton of fish in the sea. There is someone who is exactly like you somewhere in the world.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

I am in love right now.. The only problem is that she's a friend and I'm a coward who won't admit my feelings in fear of losing said friendship XD

 

[ninja51]

Had the first girlfriend ruvvvve, which ended up just being terribly embaracing for me, then thought I loved a girl, spent more time with her and ended up being beyond annoyed with everything about her, eh, happens. Those are my two experiances with sweet sweet sexy sensual loooooove so far

the answer here is alcohol!

and i am in love, too. almost 10 months now and never even had a fight. shes in america at the moment though(im in germany...and will be in china later the year>_>) for a few weeks, so i gotta rely on the phone..and maybe try out this faceboock video-chat-thing.

Try Skype. It works great.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Love..... not love. I've been plenty attracted to some girls, but nothing of it. I've never actually had anyone to love. But one thing I do know about it. Is I don't need it like some people to do.

 

[Doclector]

Yes. It did nothing but make me weak. What is it about loving someone that makes someone who coped with years of loneliness suddenly dependantcon human interaction, which is bad; humans hurt, humans hate, humans judge, humans kill. You can't trust them not to, at least.

I've no doubt love is great for the evolutionary suitable people: the attractive, unflawed, alpha humans. But I am little more than an abomination. It is impossible that anyone could love me back. All love is to me is taking away my will to defend myself in a world that is offended and angry at my presence in it.

So because you don't have it, it doesn't exist?

 

[MorsePacific]

There are a lot of different types of love, so yes. I love my friends dearly and my family even more. As many times as I've been told I'm an idiot for saying it, I'm in love with my girlfriend and I suspect that it's much deeper than puppy love.

When I was younger, I always had hang ups to telling a girl I loved them because I honestly didn't think I did. Love is something that takes time and effort. It doesn't just happen and if it does happen, it doesn't happen in two weeks. A few girls broke up with me because I wouldn't say it, but why would I have? Just saying that one word brings so many new responsibilities and expectations to a relationship that I would never use it casually.

However, I haven't once been unable to to say it to her. She's worth the responsibilities and everything else to me. So, yeah, I've been in love, I am in love, and I hope to always be.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I'm slowly working through a trial and error process of learning to love/be loved.

For those who care; I voted for the third one. Night at the Roxbury.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I'm glad I get to pick the top option.

Though being 17 people say it's not going to last and I can see where they are coming from, but me and my girlfriend were always thinking long term from the start. Considering we'd do anything for each other and completely happy with each other I'm certain it will work out. Sometimes you just get super lucky
