Christ, once and only once, yeh, except I'm a gutless whimp i didn't ask her out, and she slipped through my grasp. Noooo!!! She was the most beautiful creature in my eyes, long dark hair, beautiful figure, her smile, omg her smile. She had the nicest sense of humour and she was such a kind heart, i would of married her on the spot if i could, except I'm such a whimp.

It's the only two things I have ever regretted doing, falling in love with her, then letting her slip by. I feel like such a clutz, now I'm stuck in a state of limbo, I haven't met anyone that was even slightly like her, so my interest is reserved permanently bleh *slams head to wall, repeatedly* stupid, stupid, stupid.

I can't believe we went to primary school, since kindy together, then went to a near by high school, and lived fairly close (to my knowledge, she left the area, please God let me be wrong) and all I did during that whole duration of 13 years was admire her from a distance. I thank the Lord for all the stuff he has given me, but bloody hell how could he put me through such an ordeal, I would of exchanged my right arm gladly, for a chance with her or some guts to ask her out.

:~( I believe the lyrics to 'With You' -By Linkin Park sums up my feelings in a nutshell. :~(

No, no it's certainly not infatuation, I didn't really pay much attention sure she caught my eye but i didn't think much of it, until she approached me, and we started to talk, I got to know her and we became friends (not very close but friends none the less) through primary school, and we occassionally met during high school, but after year 10, we just detached. Now i'm full of regret.

The whole reason I'm regretting it, is, because I don't think I'll ever get a chance like that again. Pezman cracked a funny. :)

I was in love for 4 years, then it just kinda fell apart. Been a sleazebag for 2 years now and while it is fun for a while I am tired of it now.
Apart from my obvious affection for Miss Bliss over there

I think I have....but I can't be sure....to me love is the single strongest emotion you can feel towards someone, and I don't know if the way I felt about my last ex was the most I could have felt for someone...if you follow lol

But in short, yes....pity she turned into a lying bitch, but hey :)

i have been in love before and have loved and its the most amazing feeling i reckon anyone can ever have. Hurts like a kick in the guts when it comes crashing down tho.
But with great risk comes great opportunity i suppose, so even tho once u get burnt and i kno i do this... i find it REALLY hard to take ppl at face value if they come accross as really nice.
Im still a bit of a sucker tho cos i still really want to trust ppls- I'm prolly jus a bit naive tho that i go with gut instinct- and its not always on the mark.

Sorry have started going off on a tangent---> gotta start work!

Jus for the record!!! Love is awesome & amazing and Darnit i miss being in it! hahaha!;)

I have been in love for almost 7 years and still going strong. Started off with my boy as a casual fuk, funny cause both of us felt like we didnt want a relationship, but soon bought a house together, a dog, a 2nd dog, a 3rd dog, a horse, a snake and a bird. I think you find love when you dont expect to find it, or not looking for it. I love my boy, hes soo special. :tripping:

I thought I was in love when I was younger, I stayed with my so called boyfriend on and off for 2 and a half years. It was the most depressing 2 and half years of my life. He was a prick and I thought I loved him.

Now I am a bit older and a bit wiser I have found what I know is love and realise that the last episode wasnt love but dependance. Thank god I broke up with that pig when I did or I wouldn't be where I am now, which is so in love and so so happy!!! (bit philosophical today aint I?) ;)

I am in Love now and loving it!! I met him when he was a barman DCM, when i was 17. We became best friends for a year and a half and one day he told me he was in love with me. He pretty much moved in 2wks later (we never left each others house) and have been together ever since and it's fantastic :blush:

DnB_girl
12-Dec-02, 09:48am
yes i have, all my fellow Brisvegans know about this one :blush:

i met this guy, and we got on so unbelievably well. i was with someone at the time, and i'd only known the other guy for a day but i couldn't stop thinking about him so i broke up with my boyfriend. So i was with the guy for about 8 great months until he thought we weren't 'communicating properly' and sometimes he felt 'he didn't know me' so we 'took a break'. i thought we'd get back together cuz we started seeing eachother again, (sex included) and it was great, just like when we first met but better cuz we had the whole history thing.

Problem was every time he kept breaking it off because he thought one of us would get hurt sometime when one of us meets someone else. My problem with that was, i wasn't looking and didn't want anyone else because i was with him. I loved him. But i still thought he'd come around and get back with me. Then he turns round and tells me he's been hanging out with some chick (i called him after a shite day and he changes the convo just to tell me about it:

him: so have you met anyone yet?
me: no, i haven't been looking, i still love you
him: oh oh ok then
me: why have you:
him: well kinda. Her name's Carly..... blah blah for about 20 mins about her)

So time passes, he tells me she's nothing on me, we see eachother again, and his b'day's coming up, so i thought i'd ask him back. Silly me. He calls and says he doesn't want anything 'happening' on that day. So i go over, drop off his present and go home. Feeling stupid i think about it but because i'm in love i want to be with him.

Eventually i came around and said i didn't want to hear from him, and i was tired of being fucked around. I'm still getting over it, i have my days. It's been about 4 months now. I think its gonna take me a while to fully get him out of my system. But i CAN say:

Yes, i have been in love.

Thought I had been in love before but it wasn’t until I got together with my beautiful boy now that I realise what love really feels like. I’ve been through the relationships where I thought I was in love, but they treated me so bad. The truth was that I was just dependent on them. I love my boy so much and being in love is the best thing in the world. I wouldn’t trade what we have for a second. I hope everyone finds that one special person.

If you cant put you whole self into a relationship because you are afraid of getting hurt, then you will never experience the amazing wonderful powerful feeling of love!

I think so. At the time it felt like it, but now I dont want anything to do with him, so was it love?

12-Dec-02, 11:03am
I think there are different ways of loving people. I have been out with a lot of guys who I love as friends (I am friends with all my ex's bar two), I have been out with guys I have loved to death but I have only ever fallen 'in' love with three people - yet all of these to varying degrees.

Some were good, some were bad but from each I learnt a lesson, and no matter how hard the lesson all were valuable lessons to learn so I regret nothing.

I believe you can fall in love with more than one person, and I believe you have more than one soul mate, as so far, I have been fortunate enough to meet two of mine. One of whom remains my best friend on earth, and the other I am currently dating and i don't see an end to that anytime soon ;D

MMMMM.................

Only once. Last yr, met the most gorgous girl i knew at the time. Went out for 4 months. We were both very in love until she ripped my heart out by telling me she had another boyfriend who she was trying to get rid of as that he was bashing and abuising her and i was the reason.

Unfornatley now, she doesnt have both of us. He found out about me and dumped her, i found out about him and dumped her.

Simple as that! its going to be hard to love again when the trust has been broken in the house of kevmeister many times by all the lovely ladies out ther

Up until two years ago, I would have to say no. I would say I came close with one guy I met at UNSW, who I broke up with on his birthday, which was a really bad thing to do, and over the phone, but shit i was a kid all of 19/20. Then I went thru lotsa shit with manyshit head guys until I met the one I am with now. He has given me some grief (u better believe it darlin if you read this post), but after two years, I can honestly say I love him very much.

I thought I was incapable of loving someone, but I guess even at 26 years of age its still possible.

Weird thing love, high as high one moment, low as low the next

never ever felt love. Well maybe the love of a possession or something but never with a lady. I love my skateboard and snowboard but i still trash em.

Im still waiting to for my heart to say "your in love buddy RUN"

im in a relationship now, but i dont see her enough to fall in love. I love spending time with her, but i wouldn't drop everything in my life for her.

I've thought I've been in love many times. I'm one of these pisceans who is always falling in love. Got the biggest crush on this very spunky boy at work at the mo - think he may have a girlfriend though. Why are all the cute boys always taken?? :( Poor O - think I am destined to be single forever - although I must say being single can be quite alot of fun :) :)

i'm always too damn logical about the whole thing - too used to keeping my emotions in check to ever get close to anyone and too petrified of being dependant like everyone else i see

feeble
12-Dec-02, 05:24pm
Yeah- twice so far...

One ended with a whimper, the other with a bang. Gotta say, going on the latter, I'm not really that keen to repeat the experience. To say that it turned ugly would be a contender for understatement of the year, if not the century. We fell hard and fast, then crashed and burned.

You can have your romance and all that other emotional crap. Its nice and peaceful here by myself, and there's fewer bruises.

Once.... and once only. People who have fallen in love know. I certainly felt it and it was amazing. The reason it ended was myself moving here. It has been hard but it is "better to have loved than have not loved ever before." hopefully I will feel it again...

Dude thats nothing.... dont get to sad over this... imagine how bad u feel if u broke up with a chick u loved

feeble
12-Dec-02, 07:24pm
Actually, I can empathize with Escoteric.

I wasn't being fully honest when I said I'd only ben in love twice. In truth, the first person I fell in love with was actually a girl.

We went to school together, she was my best friend. I was a tall kinda awkward gal, and she was this funny, beautiful, hyper-intelligent creature, the sort who can galvanize a room just by walking in. She was the one who taught me how to banter- we used to sit in class just bouncing words off each other, laughing our arses off. We showed each other our bad teenage poetry and had 5 hour phone conversations about life and angst and all the other vagaries of being a teenage girl who's too smart for her own good, wrote each other letters, spent hours in each others company just hangin out doing nothing . And yeah, I loved her. Totally. But the thing is, being a 15 year old girl in love with another girl is a weird situation to find oneself in. I was so scared that I was a freak, and that if I told her how I felt she'd ostracize me completely. So I said nothing, and went off and lost my virginity to some guy who I didn't really give a shit about, just to prove to myself that I could. And then I changed schools, and we wrote each other 12 page letters and saw each other sometimes, but as our lives started to diverge it just trickled away into nothing.

She tracked me down a couple of years ago, and we met up for coffee... at that stage I was engaged to a boy. She told me that since leaving school she'd come out, and had been living with a chick for the past couple of months. She also told me that all that time in school, she'd loved me too.

*sigh*

Sometimes life really fucks up on the timing, doesn't it?

Fuck hadn't thought about that in ages. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to remember, palu.

I thought I was in love once when I was like 16. I had the hots for this sexy fox with the biggest mammaries ever....she was way cool...she flirted with me by splashing water across her breasts at school and all that....then finally, after various love triangles, we got together on the night of our year 10 formal....got busy....then she tells me she's going away to live in a temple the next day. She ended up preggers to her then boyfriend (at only 15) and had the baby. I was kinda cut up and all emotional for a while, but I soon realised I was just a horny lil' dog, who would chase any little cat with a cute behind and long brown hair.



Then I met my current girlfriend about 3mnths later, who I've been with for 7 years. I met her at a party after my constant screams of "anarchy" drew her near. We briefly discussed our understandings of the term, I then brushed her aside to continue frantically searching for my Circle Jerks CD lost somewhere in a sea of doo doo on the living room floor. She persisted in trying to gain my drunken attention by tapping me on the shoulder and yelling at me (I think). When she finally succeeded and I turned around to look at her, a serious fucking chemical reaction went off in my head. She had these massive fukking eyes. Dark as hell. Anyway...we got together and all that, then she mysteriously disappeared (could have had something to do with the fact that I threw up whilst we were kissing). Once again, I was all fukked up. To cut a long story short, we eventually got together after a few difficulties and odd meetings. We've had our ups and downs, but seeing as we've basically grown up together, it looks like we are stuck with each other.


Eye to eye, hombre. Beware the evil eye connection, coz if that connection is made.....you're done for life.



Shout out to the "little stompin' Aries girl".

I'd say I've been in love a few times, but it's always a different sort of love,the one that suits you best at the time

I loved my first boyfriend, we were 16 years old, but I did love him - grew apart

I loved this guy for about a year and I didn't even know him, found out what he was really like when we finally got together and even then it took me about 4 months of being treated like total crap before I snapped out of it - but I did love him

Just recently - I used the word love, but I think it was more comfort - but it was what I needed at the time

What gets me is years down the track when you look back, and you cant recall any of it - I've read old diaries and letters and seen things written there in black and white, but it's like it happened to someone else :meh:

It's a very hard question to answer. I've felt love with quite a few different people over the years. Had four or five long term relationships. At moments I thought each of these people were "the one" for me. I think if someone tells you they love you you should take it for what it is i.e. an insight into what they are feeling at that moment similar to feeling angry or tired. It's not a life long commitment. I look back at some of the people I've dated & thought I loved & I can't possibly see why I would fall for them now. People change & so do their needs & emotions. Respect & companionship are the real keys to a good relationship in my opinion. This love thing seems to come with that. Love alone just can't hold a relationship together. Lose respect or that sense of companionship & going in the one direction & that sense of pure love seems to diminish too.

Maybe I'm just jaded after being royally screwed over a few too many times in love but I see myself thinking way more with my head than my heart these days. Won't allow myself to get carried away. Maybe I'm finally growing up. I find breaking up is not anywhere near as difficult as it used to be. I think people who have lower self opinions tend to fall in love more easily than those who are comfortable with themselves. This can also mean falling for the wrong people (or the illusion of falling for them).

It's funny though. There have been plenty of times in the past when I've allowed myself to become attracted to the wrong person even though I knew perfectly well they were wrong for me. I think everyone knows inside whether something is going to work out or not if they've had a few relationships before. I'm learning to trust that feeling as it's usually right.

I'm happy to be single rather than with someone who is not perfect for me. The "for me" being the important part of that phrase.

I thought I was in love once. I was married for 4 years and really thought that was it. Things don't always go the way you think they should and now i'm divorced. No big deal.. it only took ages to get over it.

Nowadays it's strange though, coz I wonder if that really was true love, i've been in a relationship since that which had it's good times. I guess i'm hoping what I experienced wasn't love in the purest, soul-mate type of perspective and that someday I'm going to be knocked over by this emotion I thought I knew....

In the meantime... it's all good...

But unfortunately - someone that can make you feel so special and good also has the power to crush your world completely.....

So very, very true. The after-effects after a decent "crushing" can be sooo long term.
The bitterness inside is almost like acid burning through your stomach.
Small, trivial everyday things can trigger thoughts of the past, which in turn, snowball into huge feelings of hate and loathing.

Once.
Although he found his car much more satisfying than me.
I was stupid enough to put up with it for 3.5 years, and now we're better friends than we were when going out!

Figure that one out?

After being in a relationship for 8 years and loosing this person I know how much it can hurt. I do have 8 years of fantastic memories that can never be taken from me but even now just over a year later i still have my moments. :~(

Been married to the girl of my dreams for 19 years - now getting separated coz she changed the way she feels about me:( It Sux, but what can you do?
There's nothing more pointless than loving someone who doesn't love you back.

It was love at first site for me - still feel the same about her today. Now I am gonna go away and cry{:-(

There must be a club somewhere in the world called "Love" so technically we could all be 'in' Love and out of Love whenever we so chose.

I dont know how many times I've heard it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all... but at the time that doesnt mean too much... When it's love I don't think the pain really goes away. There will still be a sense of "but what if...????" that remains. It's just that the memories get easier to deal with and suddenly one day you get a smile from the memories.

Having said that, it works the other way too. You can feel totally relaxed with the situation, as in you feel as tho you're over the whole emotional rollercoaster... and suddenly one day you'll hear a song, or see a street sign and completely lose it....

ahhh.... have we ever been in love? yeah... and i tell you, it's strange and full of surprises.

Love is the most amazing experience in the world, you get so wrapped up in it at times that the world could crumble around you without knowing.

The only problem is that the longer it lasts, the more it hurts...

And then you have to work up the courage to do it all again.

originally posted by opaline Love alone just can't hold a relationship together.

That is so true!!! You can love someone more than anything, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are the right person for you. You need so much more than love to hold together a relationship, love is one ingredient in the glue...

I am currently in love.. And he knows who he is *mwa*.
I met my boy when I was 17 and we became best friends, he apparently had a crush on me but I never saw him like that.
2 1/2 yrs into our friendship I started to fall for this guy and knew I was in love with him... I thought about telling him for months about how I felt but kept it all inside cause I was worried he didn't feel the same way, and I wasn't willing to risk the best friendship I had ever come across. I took a huge risk after about 3 months of thinking about it I told him how I felt and it turns out he was pretty happy about it.
We've now been going out for almost 3 years now and it has been the most amazing 3 years of my life. I love him with all my heart.
He is not only my partner but also my best friend... and yes; it is worth taking the plunge if you¡¦re REALLY in love with a friend. If the person is a true friend and they don't perhaps feel the same way, they will understand.

Don't get me wrong, relationships are extremely hard work, but at the end of the day they are worth it.

Yes was very much in love for 6 years. Met him when I was 15 yrs but didn't fall in love with them so we broke up for 8 months. When we got back together I was 17 yrs a bit more mature (he was 4 yrs older than me). We had our ups & downs but all in all we had a very strong and fun loving relationship.
Than I started to realise that I was not "in love" with him anymore but I still love him. So we made the hard decision to break up.
I don't think that I will ever met someone like him he was the most sweetest & understanding male I have ever come across. I always say the next girl that steels his heart again will be very lucky like i was for so long:)

I think when you share with someone a large part of life its more the friendship that is hard to give up than the physical part. So this is why its hard for me to let go of him as a friend.

yeh in love now.....been together for 4 years

but had a 10 month break up...where he wasnt sure if he loved me cause he was depressed and everything...........i knew we would get back together but that whole time was a KILLER for me because i knew that we would but in the meantime we had to meet new people ( i didnt realise we would get back after 10 mnths)

he met new friends and was always with them but still insisted on calling me everyday even if it was just for 5 mins..he needed to hear my voice and although painful i was used to talking to him everyday to...in the 10 months we remained best friends and occasionally kissed and everyday he still told me he loved me( after the confusion went of whether he did or not)

now wwe are back together and it is better then ever :) we are both very much in love and we both helped each other through depression :)

That 10 months would have been very painful by the sounds cheeky. I'm a once bitten twice shy sorta guy in most situations so I would have reacted very differently being put in a similar situation.. Although I can't be to sure about this as i've never ever ever ever been in love.

I was once in lust with someone for a short period about a year ago.. freaked out when she started getting a little attached and ran a mile!

I have a theory that life goes in 7yr cycles... think back to 7yrs, 14, 21, 28, .... each cycle you've pretty much gone full circle and experienced the fkn rich with torrid.... Deeply in a place and time the 'experience' of those journeys make it all love. You wouldn't be you without it!
