Have you been in love, how did you experience it

Yes and every single time, I've been hurt. So I don't fall for anyone anymore and vowed that I'll never date anybody or get married, never gonna do any of that.

Love is not a emotion it is a way of being. !!

No, I have not. Any time I ever liked anybody, it was always and I mean always, always 1 sided and my feelings never returned. I plan to stay single forever now. I have no interest in finding love anymore.

Love isn't a dream or a fantasy, it's love and loyalty to a real person with all their flaws and limits as well as their virtues...

And it's trusting them enough that you have given them the power to hurt you and you love them anyway...

It doesn't have to last forever to have been real while it did last ..

i think love is the choice you make to give yourself fully to someone. it’s not a feeling - that’s infatuation. it’s a big, important word but i do think you can fall in and out of love frequently

I experienced a series of firsts with him. He could read my mind and made me feel like a princess. He was my best friend and lover.

I was...I am...still with the same guy!

The feeling of it? Well, I think it changes over the years - the next big anniversary for us will be our 20th, in a few years time - from sheer butterflies in the tummy/wide awake to more like.....a hot chocolate - smells good, great textures, feels good, gives you that inner glow and makes you feel relaxed...

It's pretty much unconditional...and although we have had some hard periods over our time together....we've each tried to be accepting of each other's failings and life choices, however fleeting some of them may have been. So, some have hurt but it's been a patient kind of waiting until it comes around to the right choice again...

Can I live without him? I have done for the first 17 years of my life...but do I want to live without him? Now, there's a different question.

Love is, I guess, 'getting' someone, understanding them, feeling an affinity with them, having your own language shorthand, of being a separate entity as you are a 'couple' or a 'unit'.

Yes I have been. But at this older stage of life, I think I know less about what I thought it was. I do not believe it some instant thing, nor is it temporary nor simply a feeling. It's much deeper and more lasting..

Wow .. it's a deep subject for your questions say that you won't settle for the ordinary as you would only come up with more questions.

So if you really need all answers you need to converse with me.

But in short .. like god, love too is unexplored terrain and heavily confused concept. I can guide in the right path to make you realise but can't exactly express it for it needs realisation by each on their own.

.. Has been an instant inexplicable connection.

We are able to love more than one person, but perhaps in different ways.

I have a friend with whom I used to live...for a little over a year...and he hurt me terribly. I loved him, so I was willing to accept a life with him still in it...as a distant friend who will not be touching me again.

I care about him today, worry about him, and if and when he dies I will be crushed. He annoys the hell out of me, is probably my worst choice in a man ever, and that is really saying something. 🤣

This is almost like asking what’s the meaning of life. lol
I think oftentimes, IMO, love is difficult to explain and put parameters on.

he stole my heart, I gave him my -----

Does love expire: There is no expiration date but it die from lack of attention
are we able to love more than one person,: We do as there are varying types of love if you mean deep romantic love in my opinion it is one person but there can be over time multiple people

Yes. I think apart from experiencing it oneself, probably the best way is to see where psychologists are in their research on this. Seemed fairly basic when I was reading psychology, almost twenty years ago now.

Yes, though I don't know how to describe it, especially since it's gone and that particular love won't be found again, so I try to not revisit it that closely. But it was nice, maybe I'll get to experience the feeling again someday.

Many times, some were bad and by now vanished from my heart without a trace. But only one is like resuscitation every time. I don't know whether it's bad or good.

in love, stars in the eyes and knees weak, no never

He just crawled into my lap and i was like 😍😍😍🤗😍😍❤️

It’s not a set formula and not the same for everyone. How it manifests for one person may be different than for another.

I wasn't ready to love again - I hope she is safe and happy
