This is my latest instalment of my understanding of the word love. That they can tell you they love you, ..meet up with ex boyfriends and then disappear without a word for days, ..but that’s ok cos they love you and those words totally remove any suspicions or jealous feelings you might have cos the fact they love you is power over all. Jeez im glad I learned that, …will stand me in good stead next time I meet someone

and true love dont exist, ...ask and divorced couple

my point is it's not ok , ....i wouldnt do it and i expect anyone who told me they they loved me not to do it either

Yeah thats what I was getting at. I put it in quotation marks to say that is what the other person is saying - telling you to make it ok because they demand it so, which it obviously isnt.

I think lilacrose has it here, it's more about how you let peopple treat you. You get what you ask for, if you allow something then of course it will come your way. If you close yourself of from love, you will not taste it and live a lonely life! If you allow yourself to not be respected...guess what...that's what you get. The second you put your foot down...is the moment you stand strong for who you are...just easier said than done sometimes, that is all

It's difficult really I don't know?

I have felt strong feelings for people which I thought was mutal love but when things have roken down for one reason or another I question what was truthful and what was illision.

I have a habit at time to be impulsive and tend to wear my heart on my sleve,which is alright in some circumstances but a think a little guile with feelings can help you from misplacing them.

I think the important thing is to keep an open heart and willing mind because love has a habit of turning up anywhere.


...so I am told

maybe twice

the first time it lasted three years. I was 17. everyone told me to play the field. They said I was too young for a serious relationship, and i listened to that. but we could talk so much about everything important. and if I saw him now I know we would get on so well. But his new girlfriend was jealous so we lost touch.

It was so natural. No effort. Well louds of effort but no effort if you know what I mean... but alot of emotion and fighting too! But just so honest and no secrets at all. and too young and inexperienced to know how to deal with it. then the next time I was 34... and I met him very far from home, for one day in Serbia... and now I am fucked because I can't look at anyone else and he is stuck there and has pushed me away because he is trapped there and has no control... but he doesn't realise I don't have no control over this one either even though I from this so called 'free world'! Bollox

but at least I remembered what it feels like and that it is possible even if I don't get to keep it... I feel different and more alive

Was munching my way through a bar of galaxy..when I noticed this on the back of the wrapper..thought it summed up LOVE well

Love ~ Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love

Attraction, flirtation, euphoria, doubt, THE TRUTH (Also known as the big whooperdoodle, or, the most important part of this whole sloppy, thrilling, infuriating, marvellous experience)

...so this is love. As wondrous and scary and fabulous as it can be, it may have started with mere attraction, but where it's ended up is somewhere deeper and truer and endlessly more fulfilling.

And despite yourself, you will have learned a little something along the way..The euphoria doesn't have to be fleeting. That love can survive doubt. That a joyful instinct should never be repressed.

And so you throw yourself into love ~ Heartfirst..Never stop falling in Love....

Awwww

im really not sure.ive had feelings for a couple of girls but due to them having partners i never had the chance to see if those feelings would develop.maybe i only had an interest in them due to the fact that they were available or maybe i love the notion of being in love.questions questions questions..........

I can actually say i have been in love! In fact ive met my soul-mate!! Things didnt work out in the end and it took a long time to get over!! Cried myself to sleep 4 nearly a year! How pathetic is that! Just hope i can feel the same for someone again and that it will truly be returned! Only 20 though so ive got a good while to find him!!

I have been married and in two long term relationships and i'm still not sure whether I have ever been in love or if real love even exists. I know i have never cared as much about a partner as I have about my friends and family.


I think love is just a word we use when we don't know how to explain how we feel.

I have once..

And then she ripped my heart apart, since then I never could relate to another woman, like I should... I´m always waiting for it to happen again..

Until the day I find someone i can really trust again of course.

I have experienced it once and it lasted for around 6 years, for me the 'true love' was the fact we were complete soul m8's and the feeling of total happiness of just being in each others company, but big troubles with our families split us up and it ripped me apart and left me feeling empty, lost and hopeless but i am mending now and hope i can find it again one day, but i do fear that pain again ! and i would sympathise with any one who looses there true love.
