Oooh, present tense ..... do tell!



I have experienced true love only twice in my many years, once very recently (and ongoing).

I have also (in the past 18 months) experienced indescribable feelings of intense emotion and intimacy with someone, without feeling 'love' (possibly because we weren't together long enough to reach that stage?)

Knowing what the difference is between the two situations is important.

no, no, no, no, no...

true love does not exist, if it does the definition of it is pretty much, when both parties die before falling out of love.

its such a ridiculous concept, all love is is an emotion, there's nothing more special about love than any of the others, you dig?

Only one ongoing, do you not believe love is ever lasting then? I do.

There was a wonderful article on the BBC News website that suggested that romcoms had distorted many people's perception of love, causing people to look for "the one", their only true soul mate.

I do believe in love but it is an emotion that anyone can experience by eating chocolate. It's a hormonal, chemical tied up with our drive to reproduce and the pleasure that we can get from love.

True love? It's when that feeling makes you selfless but connected to your loved one. It's a state where you frequently become overwhelmed and a time when you need good friends around to make sure you're not about to commit some outrageous mistake.

All wonderful stuff but also quite dangerous in its own sweet way ...

I am very much a man of science fact and a few years ago I would have agreed with that 100% but a few things happened in my relationship with the girl I love that science just couldn't explain.

I know obviously I have no proof that these things happened and for that reason posting this is useless but I have to say in the defence of love anyway. We read each others minds several times and when we were at the the same club with a 3000+ capacity covering 4 rooms and had no possible idea if each other were going to be there we were always able to feel each others presence and find each other. Its a bit like when the phone rings and you know who it is but on much stronger scale. I don't believe you can put these feelings down to hormones or any other chemical reaction. I can only think that it must down to the use of those parts of the brain we science is still unsure about.

However that is generally known as telepathy rather than love! Very Happy

I'm not saying that these experiences aren't less real for being a biological or chemical reaction but we are those types of beings, even if you throw currently unexplained things into the mix.

Some people believe, for example, that they have loved someone across many lives due to reincarnation. Others feel that astrology is the only thing you need to understand relationships.

As for me, whatever is the cause of love, I feel is both a blessing and a curse. However I would not live without it, even if I was given the chance to do such a thing.
