With Valentines day arriving, I though I would ask a interesting question.... Who has really been in love and what was that like?

First question: Yes

Second question: The discovery that love is a real thing was like touching the face of God, discovering that Santa Claus is real, and finding out that Jerry McGuire actually got it right when he said "You....complete....me"

Finding out that love doesn't necessarily mean you are loved in return - they didn't invent words in the English language to describe it.

Still, I would do it over again a million times and a million times after that for the joy he brought to my life.

Love is something we drift in and out of. But for the time we have it, there is nothing better. It also affects us on different levels. There is the love of family, friends, pets, and of course those special one on one relationships with the opposite sex.

Knowing you personally, not only as a great provider, but as a good friend, and one of the sweetest girls I have ever met, let me just say that I love you. Happy Valentines Days My Sweet Sunshine !!

I might as well have put my heart through a wood chipper when it happened.  

It was so bad in fact, for the longest time afterward I denied it could have been love.  

...it's just like the songs we hear.  Smoke DOES get in your eyes.  It gives you fever.  It's the best drug out there and better than your favorite desert.

What else can I say, you so wrapped up in emotions, feeling light as air. Everything seems so much clearer, grass is greener, flowers smell more beautiful, the sky is bluer than it has has been before, until reality sets in. OMG! I just gave him my keys to my car and my bank account. That's being called "Dickmatized". Where the dick is so good, that he could be driving around in your car with no licence. It's called "Dickmatized" when he hits you, and you say to your friend "No he doesn't beat me, I ran into the wall"

LOL... guys can say the same thing too,it's called "Pussy whipped".

I'm not trying to be cynical, I have learned that love comes from friends, trust, honour, respect of oneself and others. Love is great if you have it, but does the other person love you as much as you love him??

People fall in and out of love through-out their lifetime, it's a normal part of our lives. I say Good Luck, Play safe and Love yourself first before you can love someone else.

Penis gets hard and rigid.

will replicate the euphoria associated to "love". It is also less costly; both emotionally and fiscally.

great feelings associated with them.  There is the "puppy love" that you get when you first realize that 1/2 the human population is different from you.  First "serious love" is a bit more intense.  That one makes the heart race, face flush, knees get weak (sounds a bit like the avian flu no?).  Fortunately as you get older you don't get this one, as it makes you do very foolish things... then there is the mature love... the yea, I see the other person's faults, they matter, but I can see beyond that and see the beautiful person standing in front of me... (even though he looks like Ron Jeramy, he has the soul that would be described as looking like Brad Pitt or whoever....).  That is the best of all, cause it is likely to be real...

Then there are all the other types of love... love your kids... love your dog... love the one you're with!

That would have been ordinary.

My initial experience was of unrequited love.  Then things got strange.  A long-distance relationship with a woman who wouldn't get a phone, followed by a savant. The latter could do partial-differential equations for fun but couldn't express her feelings without referring you, by number, to a top 40s song on the charts in October 1973.  

I accidentally hurt her simply by misunderstandings and  miscommunications.  She would got angry, I didn't know it.  It would have probably helped then if I had known what Asperger's syndrome was, then.  At the time I just did not know what the challenges were.    

I have.
I was in love once. ONCE! Now I have to wear a pacemaker!!-LOL When your'e in love, you feel like nothing in the world can get to you. It's like a big blanket that keeps you warm all over, and...
oh forget it. Love makes you do stupid, crazy, irrational things that you never, EVER thought you would do. Remember, love is an emotion, and emotions are the cause of most of the bad decisions you will ever make. And I would do it over again in a heartbeat!!!!!

I don't think I've ever been there.......and I'm gettin a little old to find it.  I sure would like to experience it tho.......hurt or not..... I just want to experience it.

Reamn! .........

I agree, me too Sugar... but I once read that attempting to fall in love, or not fall in love, is like trying to predict when and where a lightening bolt will strike. I tell myself to hold tight for fate XOXO Eryn
