    And you can't think strait ever again It's the best feeling in the world Yet it will make you say and do the most putrageous of things and make you put up with stuff you never would otherwise You will crave it become addicted to it yearn for it and when you are denied it, it will devastate you Oh but to have it even momentarily in your life apparently makes it worth it It is the best of times , it is the worst of times Xx

    When I can't get her out of my mind . When I can't wait to see her again. When I am constantly thinking of what I can do to make her smile . When daily life is a grind without her by my side . When I want her involved in every facet of my life . When I am Smitten :)- Posted from rhpmobile

    You just know Meeka, the first stages of love (romantic love) are an all encompassing force in your life. You want to spend every waking (and sleeping) second with the person and when apart, all you do is think about them. You make silly mistakes at work, you lose concentration, you find yourself staring off into nothing with a stupid smile on your face, you break plans with your best friends to be with the person, everything the person does is cute (even if really really really frakkin annoying) etc... The brain chemicals released are similar to that of the effects of cocaine. You've got adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin flying around in there like crazy. There are other chemicals that develop the long term commitment to each other. Eventually the brain can't keep up with all the chemicals and you start to transition to a more companionate love state - best of friends who will stay the distance with each other. You are no longer driven by the wild passion of romantic love, although it does come and go throughout long term relationships. My parents have been married for nearly 40 years and they describe it as ups and downs. Sometimes you're really connected, other times you're closer to friendly housemates and have to work on reigniting that passion and connection. Especially when the kids are little or you are both snowed under with work. People often get disillusioned by the transition to companionate love as the think the love is gone because it's no longer a raging fire. Love is not what hollywood makes out, true love is mutual hard work and commitment.

    I believe there are different types of LOVE and it's COMPLICATED!!Love for your family - unconditional LoveLove for your friends - Friendship LoveLove for your favourite thing - Emotional LoveLove for Partner - Being in LOVEWRONG LOVE = Infatuated Love, stalking etc etcFor me to be in LOVE I need to have the following:1) INTIMACY - Feelings of attachment, closeness, feeling of being wanted2) PASSION - sexual attraction, physical attraction3) COMMITMENT - Plans to be together etc etcI've never been in Love as in LOVE- so I can't say...I have been told, the fist feeling is butterflies in your tummy - thousands of them, fluttering everywhere!!I can't wait to fall in Love - I think it will be the best feeling ever - out of this world..!!Can't wait to hear what others say what it's like. :)

    Three times ,maybe four I have been in love. Falling in love is a chemical cocktail. Falling in love is a s state of unreasoning,believing that this person is essential to your life and happiness Falling in love is nature's way of manipulating the species,of making us so crazy that all we want to do is to be with the object of our desires. Falling in love is being out of control of our emotions,sometimes even our lives. Falling in love is sometimes falling for make believe. Falling in love is a tempory state. But when being in love becomes love, then that is a whole other thing,when the object of desire becomes the beloved as you are for them ,then that is love.

    ..in the last minutes of your life. You still feel the same.For me, Love is some thing that laughs a life time. If it goes, it's not love. Something very special, but not love.I don't think there is any way to know if you are actually in it.. Because each time it's so different.

    Is; looking in your partners eyes and knowing they feel as stongly for you as you for them, Is not; looking in your "partners" window at 3am, as they dial 000.   Is; calling them to see how their day was, Is not; texting and calling 5000 times a day and getting upset when you don't get a response.   Is; making love, Is not; fucking, then leaving straight away.   Is; being able to live your life, with that person enhancing it, Is not; making that person your life, cutting of your friends, shutting everything else out.   Is: trust, Is not: Anna. (Haha sorry had to throw that one in there :)   All the best finding it, everyone should have someone special in their life.

    Quoting 'Orgasmnator'  Is; being able to live your life, with that person enhancing it, Is not; making that person your life, cutting of your friends, shutting everything else out.  Absolutely! Shinasbabe mentioned that their wellbeing is more important than your own, and yes I understand what that means. As yes I also feel that for people. I would do anything they asked or help them in any way, but I think it's unhealthy if you get to the point where you totally loose yourself in them.

    I agree it is a choice. Interestingly enough, no body has said that being in love means you don't want anybody else, that no one else can compare. So, being in love doesn't automatically mean exclusivity? Interesting. And most of you have described lust. The butterflies, the mad passionate sex, the wanting to be together all the time. That is lust and sex. Lust will fade over time and is , as Freya says, natures way of ensuring the continuation of the species. So I am still confused. When do you know you are IN love with someone? And what does this mean? What are you supposed to want? Marriage? Happy families? And if you don't want that does that mean you are not in love?

    Once again it's about choice....love, like religion, is what make it, define it etc... Therefore could you love more than 1 person??? Absolutely in my mind, as long as all people concerned share the view and definition of such an entity.

    Well... its tough to explain   You really wanna know what love is?   Well it's really quite simple....   It's kinda like...   Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna grab some afternoon delight...   My motto's always been when its right its right, why wait until the middle of a cold dark night...   When everything's a little leery in the light of day, and we know the night is always gonna be there any way...   Thinking of you's working up my appetite, I'm looking forward to a little afternoon delight...   Rubbing sticks and stones together to make sparks ignite, and the thought of loving you is getting so exciting...   Skyrockets in flight...   Booop   Afternoon delight...   Whooop   You guys have it I think...   Afternoon delight...   Afternoon delight...   Afternoon delight...   Straight from the Dr Vaka school of romance and romantic romanticism - otherwise known as Anchorman     Love   A

    Love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we can not command, demand, or disappear love, any more than we can command the moon and the stars and the wind and the rain to come and go according to our whims. We may have some limited ability to change the weather, but we do so at the risk of upsetting an ecological balance we don't fully understand. Similarly, we can stage a seduction or mount a courtship, but the result is more likely to be infatuation, or two illusions dancing together, than love. . Love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. You can choose to surrender to love, or not, but in the end love strikes like lightening, unpredictable and irrefutable. You can even find yourself loving people you don't like at all. Love does not come with conditions, stipulations, addendums, or codes. Like the sun, love radiates independently of our fears and desires. . Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought, sold, or traded. You cannot make someone love you, nor can you prevent it, for any amount of money. Love cannot be imprisoned nor can it be legislated. Love is not a substance, not a commodity, nor even a marketable power source. Love has no territory, no borders, no quantifiable mass or energy output. . One can buy sex partners and even marriage partners. Marriage is a matter for the law, for rules and courts and property rights. In the past the marriage price, or dowry, and in the present alimony and the pre-nuptial agreement, make it clear that marriage is all about contracts. But as we all know, marriages, whether arranged or not, may have little enough to do with love. Sexual stimulation and gratification, whether by way of fingers, mouths, objects, fantasy play, whips and chains, or just plain intercourse, can certainly be bought and sold, not to mention used to sell other things. Whether sex should be for sale is another question entirely, but love itself can not be sold. . One can buy loyalty, companionship, attention, perhaps even compassion, but love itself cannot be bought. An orgasm can be bought, but love cannot. It comes, or not, by grace, of its own will and in its own timing, subject to no human's planning. . Love cannot be turned on as a reward. It cannot be turned off as a punishment. Only something else pretending to be love can be used as a lure, as a hook, for bait and switch, imitated, insinuated, but the real deal can never be delivered if it doesn't spring freely from the heart. . This doesn't mean that love allows destructive and abusive behaviors to go unchecked. Love speaks out for justice and protests when harm is being done. Love points out the consequences of hurting oneself or others. Love allows room for anger, grief, or pain to be expressed and released. But love does not threaten to withhold itself if it doesn't get what it wants. Love does not say, directly or indirectly, "If you are a bad boy, Mommy won't love you any more." Love does not say, "Daddy's little girl doesn't do that." Love does not say, "If you want to be loved you must be nice, or do what I want, or never love anyone else, or promise you'll never leave me." . Love cares what becomes of you because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the "other" is also oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated or restrained. Love honors the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law.

    Smitten is one of my favourite words :) Falling in love, being in love and staying in love are all a little different. The first happens pretty easily if you just get out of the way of all the shoulds and shouldn'ts. The second is the warm glow once you realised the first has happened. The third is tough though, and the sweetest of all.

    love is wanting everything he is, taking the happy with the said, the lust with the board days, his tempers, hopes and loves into yr heart, and most of the time feeling so happy to hear from him, a touch makes yr heart fly, you can miss him when yr both at home doing other thinks, love is making him go if you know this love is no good for him.... and wishing him only happyness no matter what... :)

    Patient... Love is Kind Love is blind.... Love you can't see it, hear it, touch it, smell it..... It's an emotion that is continuously worked on ... Its an agreement between the people involved.... Its a bond just like marriage...When people are in love they may want to get married others don't... Some people don't know they are in Love till it's taken away or broken... Just like any relationship Love is unconditional can't be forced... Love is not a want...love has no price... People want Love because they can't have it.. To me Love is the most complex of all emotions, feelings and emotions amongst human beings.. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Meeka, please......... True love appears, stealth like, as a non comprehesable phenomia. It is not a calculable thing. The bones ache, the blood rushes around the grey matter and you tingle all over. Does it happen every time? I don't think so.....perhaps only a couple.of times in ones life. It is special and should not be discarded lightly....... - Posted from rhpmobile

    I just love them all for different reasons and in different ways. I used to think that love meant exclusivity. I used to believe in marriage. I even tried it. I'm no good at it. I don't like focussing all my energy and love on one person. There's just too much of it for one person to cope with. So now I share it. But that's me.

    Tom part of the AllyKat equation here. Can't speak for anyone else but I know for me being "in love" is exclusive to one. It's a parallel love to the exclusivity of the type of love I feel for my kids. I don't feel either type of love for anyone else. Having said that I have 2 kids and love them equally unconditionally. So just defeated my argument I guess.Oh God now I'm confused.So if you can have 2 kids and love them equally, I guess it means it is possible to have to lovers and love them equally. Never have though - has anyone else had 2 simultaneous indistinguishable love intensities for their lovers?Oh and congrats Meeka - 'tis a many splendoured thing.

    Or, you're my rival and I'm trying to do you in through heart disease. Here, have my slice as well...I guess the answer could be that none of us really know, for sure. There isn't a stick to pee on, or a form to fill in.I think you can be in-love (vs loving) with multiple people, but we don't have a society that supports that (and I'm not suggesting you become a morman, 'cause that seems one -sided), so it could lead to pain if you have to cut one out.As for the journey, that's a really interesting post above... is that the cycle of a relationship, where love comes and goes and changes? Is it still 'in-love'? I don't know. I do know there is a term for the 7-year itch for a reason.I hope you can find a way of keeping the budding love. Whateveer it is, its a great feeling, isn't it!

    You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.- Posted from rhpmobile

    I dont want anyone else and havent since the day I met my man. I am just not interested. I have had my chances and sometimes I have thought that maybe I could still play a little. Came close a time or two but always said no in the end . I just am not interested in anyone else at all. He is not perfect and loving him I can certainly see all his faults. Love is definately not blind. I can see him for what he is and accept that. When he has to leave town for work, his absence is an actual physical pain. It hurts. It is like a vice inside my chest and yet we dont live together. I know he is only a few kilometers to the north of me if I need him. Just be careful not to confuse a strong case of lust with love. There is way more to it than enjoying fantastic sex. Ask yourself if you would still stay with that person if you could never have sex with them again? Would you still love them then or would that love wither and die? Can you love more than one? That I dont know as I only love the one.

You have the capacity to love lots of people such as family and friends so you can be in love with more than one person. Right?- Posted from rhpmobile You can have loving feelings for many people on different levels.   Can you be "In Love" with more than one person? I'm monogamous, so for me, falling in love with a partner is a journey of unravelling all the layers and liking, admiring and accepting what you find - warts and all. I could not go on that journey with more than one person at a time as I believe when there is more than one person, you will see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear and feel what you want to feel. No regrets or what if's, if you choose the wrong person.

When you accept the good the bad, downfalls and pitfalls and still come out with respect for that person, a smile on your face and be prepared and accept there will be other trials and tribulations along your journey together.   Love do not mean marriage or kids to all - marriage and kids is an accepted progression in today's society... Love also, does not mean forever. Love has no boundaries, time frames or expectations.   Love has it's own interpretation and it's up to you Meeka, to define it :)

    Quoting 'LittleRedEngine'...like a list of rules and laws..I'm not sure love should have any of either of these things?something that is so different each time you experience it surely does not have rules and laws? That is why I copied and pasted my post from Google...it says exactly that...there are no rules or laws to love! xFunlovingx

    What about people's overuse of the word love...   For example "I really frekin love cookies", "I love that dress on you" etc.   Maybe if we left it for ACTUAL love, it might bear more meaning.

    Was given a book by a lover once(was his favorite) and at first was a tad confused by the title "My mistress's sparrow is dead"..... But read it anyway......it's a collection of stories by the likes of Chekhov, DeMaupassant, Munro and other greats......& found it entirely fascinating & beguiling (a little like love lol) the editor describes it perfectly as " a cure for love sickness and an antidote to adultery.... Read these love stories not to confirm the brutal realities of love, but to experience it's many variegated, compensatory pleasures"...... Couldn't have said it better myself:) well worth a read 😍

    We were halfway to falling in love when we met you, Meeka. Do you remember a meet-up of forum regulars at a pub in Surry Hllls a few years ago? We were just friends with benefits then... MsKinkster (formerly MsValkyrie)

    Interestingly i find myself in that position with someone i started contact with on here a few weeks ago, it has been a very passionate journey thus far, romantic, attentive, lovey dovey all the gooey, soppy stuff i love, along with an intense attraction to his intellect!! He is a lot younger than me, but we dont see it when we are together, in fact i find him wordly and mature beyond his years. Hes the first and last thing i think of, and he makes me smile all day. I have had friends comment that im "glowing" so...thats how i know im falling IN love. To answer your earlier question, i dont think you can be IN love with more than 1 person at a time, however you can love more than 1 for various reasons. I have often said if i could mix 2-3 of my exes together id make a perfect man! when you are falling in love, you cant think straight, only want to be with them, and suddenly character traits that youve hated before are "cute" on them!!

    So love is love in all it's forms. And you feel love for different people and family in various ways. In love is just love + lust. Once the lust dies you have love left if you are lucky. That is what I get from all the responses. :)

    Of course lust dies GB. Look at all the married people online. It's clef the 7 year itch, and of course these days we all want instant gratification. No working at it for Gen y. Will be interesting to see how their marriages last over time.

    I disagree. Once the lust dies down you are often still left with love, that's called marriage. I believe you have to work at keeping the spark/lust alive. But I have never been married or in a long term relationship. In fact I still am not sure what "being in love" is supposed to be. Although sounds nice... Maybe one day a man will love me. :p Now that's middle of the night mushy talk. Off too bed with me. :D

    I don't think falling in love (being in love) is wanting to be with something. It's the pain you feel when you are apart from them :-)Mr Mad xx

    Yes ofcourse there are romantic aspects of love...Attraction, lust, want, etc...But if i were to sum it up, love is all about the not so glamorous aspects..When your partner is upset, you're there for them.If your partner is sick (looking like shit) you are worried for them and are by their side.An example that comes to mind... An ex- gf made a comment after we seperated.." OMG I even miss washing your dirty jocks''

    That's right the lust dies, the pheromones disappear, you get bored and one day think, what the hell am I doing with this clown. Lust only stays alive while you are in love. Seriously how many people would you be able to lust after for years and years if their is no love or connection? Or is that a chick's way of thinking? Just lust gets boring after awhile. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Yes lust dies down somewhat over time and it takes a lot of work from both partners to keep new and interesting. For me, when one partner stops trying to keep things new and exciting that you can say there are problems and love is also on the way out. Just working on the reverse of being in love is when you would do anything for him or a friendship where only one party is making any effort to stay in touch.

    Hurts like hell when it's gone or while it continues. If it ends, you will never, ever regret or forget the feeling or the person... Regardless of how it ended. Love is just a feeling after all.

    People always think "The grass is greener on the other side"Its not ,its just "Grass"Sure you can lust after someone ,but lust is usually a quick fix.Love is where it all the good happens ,where boundary's are pushed and trust is the norm. How many people think about their EX's and the times shared with who they loved, compared to their lustful hookups?I tend to find i think more or My Ex's who i loved.Cheers

    Climbing around on hot tin roofs for ten years, seven days a week at times, sitting down at smoko thinking of Tara about to wake up and love our children. I do not mind going to work, sometimes I cursed myself for not learning how to tile bathrooms.I feel that being in love, is when you can not imagine life without that friend. I think love should be at the center of whatever life's challenges bring, that way it is always close at hand to maintain. I believe that is most important with no exceptions. I know we love each other.I reckon we make our luck.Mado

    Well I must say an interesting question for RHP, but yes I have found my SOULMATE and I did so when I’d given up completely on the opposite sex and was in a very dark place, but some how he came along and I knew from the moment we came face to ace that this was it,neither of us could actually form any words, we were in fact speechless which is highly unusual for me lol, also we felt the instant deep connection from a place I didn’t even know existed, we can just look at one another and know what the other is thinking, also for your soul mate you care for that deeply that life itself or the air that you breathe is meaningless without them, that you ache for them when there not with you and don’t want them to go any where with out them,that you feel if they were to pass away that it would simply hurt that much that you’d go shortly after them,is known as death by a broken heart…. that you simply are no longer two separate people but you become one in unison with one another…. I know for a fact that I have found true honest love/ soul mate and have never been happier,we support and encourage every fantasy,desire,want and need… That you can tell every thing too no secrets or lies ever,we never argue, the list is endless really and from what I’m told its slightly different for every one xxx best of luck anyways xxx

    I was wrong... There is room for lots of love, loving, loved and lust in the human heart, but only room to be *in love* with one entity at a time.- Posted from rhpmobile

    Love is illogical, you don't know, until you KNOW. It's as sudden as it is powerfully extreme. You don't work at or find love, it's just suddenly there, and you only know it was true love when it's gone. In my limited experience, love is a lie that is told for the purpose of manipulation and furthering ones own agenda. BUT, I'm bitter and cynical at the moment and one day I will fall in love again and I'll completely disagree with this comment. Good luck meeka.
