How Many Times Have You Been In Love?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hey, everyone! Just intrigued to see how many times people think they have fallen in love. I reckon I have been in love three times so far. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    i think love is a very strong word and gets used far too much so when it is used it seems to have lost all meaning, i 'think' i have been in love only once its a great feeling but comes with too much heartache at the end unfortunately but i guess you gotta take the sour to appreciate the sweet!! <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    To me love is when i care about and feel more feelings for a certain person than anything or anyone else. When just the smell, sight or thought of that person makes your stomach go or u feel funny. When everyday i notice something more beautiful about the person. When i can just sit for hours watching the person do normal things that seem amazing the way they do them.
    Its a shame when that love isnt returned - ive had that for 4 years <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I dont think i've been in love i know i am in love!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Once. And I'm starting to think it's just once too many.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Love is a very strong word that I think we use far too much. But truthfully, I think the closest thing I have ever experienced to love was about a year ago. Unfortunately he didn't (and still doesn't) return the feeling. <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Never.
    Although I do think the wrord is hideously overused.
    Everyone has their own idea what they believe love to be though, I suppose.

    Once. But there is potential on the horizon....

    I am in love now, but just I have to hide it from her. I just known her for 3 weeks. It's too early to tell her, isn't it?

    Hmm, I've been in love loads of time but most of the times was one way... <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> that started from falling in love with my school teacher when I was 12. <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Awww, i am sorry. Have a hug

    *big hugs to Balddog*

    It's not all it's cracked up to be you know. Usually there is gut wrenching misery and terror...and that's usually just the first date!!! Nah, sure you will find someone! Don't give up!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Well, you have something to look forward to don't you... <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I agree with this....
    I am in love now...
    the last 16 months have flown by and life is kinda fun...
    im kinda happy... <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    wow someone agrees with my statement - im truly honoured! <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
    I wish i could say im truly happy......but that can never be with this person.
    Love - beautiful - i think
    Unrequited love - heart breaking, stomach churning and sickening
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Love can either be the happiest state you'll ever be in, or it can be the most painful thing in the world. I was in love with my ex.. it's been 10, almost 11 months, and i'm still not completely over him. I also love my current boyfriend (i got really lucky), but i think that i'm still waiting for the painfulness and intensity that the first person you're in love with brings.

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Nope, never.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Just the once which is right now.. and apparently you never get over your first love, so looks like I'm stuck with him in my life in some way or another forever. Scary stuff! <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Yes you can and i am - i am in love with some one who doesnt love me - dont you dare tell me what i cant feel.
    The sad fact is that ive been out with 3 ppl while being in love with this person - yes ive loved one of them but this person ( or my feelings) have put an end to all of my relationships

    Well i met my first love when i was 15 (i am now old and crusty at 20) and it ended in january 2000 after almost 3 years together. And i can safely say that it is only in the past 6 months that i have been able to get to a place where i am happy, and don't think about him much anymore.

    I think the thing with first love is that because it is so new and shiny you tend to hold onto it much longer than if you had experienced it before, thus it seems much harder to get over them. However, you do with time, so there is hope for all you out there mourning failed first relationships....

    Personally i think being in love is great, but that i tends to creep up on you, until one day you just kinda realise that this is it!!! Have been in a situation where one of my best mates (male) proclaimed his love for me, and i didn't feel the same way, and to cut a long story short he now doesn't speak to me...

    So love has its good points, and also its bad points, cause at the end of the day unless things work out rosy, and you put rings on fingers, someone invariably ends up getting hurt... <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I've been in love once and still am, But I'm starting to wish i hadn't!! <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I would say probably once...

    But now she (my ex) just think that I was obsessed about her.

    So I don't really know...Maybe someone can tell me.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    hey hold up fairy you are 16 and have already been in love three times? isnt love supposed to be a long lasting show of feelings commitment and i think you kinda reach the age of proper adult maturiy (give or atrake a few years) at around 14-15-16 and at 16 you have been in three realtionships meaningfull enought to say that it was love each time?? sorry if it seems i am having a goits just that the word i loev you does get overly used when peopel do not know what they are saying - but then i cnat really talk at 16 not yet old enough 2 realise myself - i would liek to say i love my girlfriend we have been together 10 mnths and over but from the very start i told her i loved her and i didnt my foolish naivity wanted me to but if that was love then wot do i feel now?
    oh dear this is complicated i might as well quit now before i complety lose track of what im trying 2 say <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
    i think my main point was that at 16 can you really have been in love 3 times?

    xx deeby doo xx
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Deeby Doo, yep I get what you are saying. But I said 'I reckon I have been in love three times'. I didnt say that I definately have been in love three times. Argh! This is a complicated topic. Anyway I think it really depends on the individual person, not on their age. <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    wow you understood that post i have to congrat u for that <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
    i suppose it does depend on the person are some peopel more susceptable to love than others is it the poeple that are looking for it the peopel taht 'fall in it' more easily?
    lol which brings me to agree further taht this is a VERY complicated topic :P
