What do you think about love?
- Thread starter TheCenturion
- Start date
Get down off your high-horse you muppet. You're inferring what type of person I am. I've been through the mill and I've come out smiling. Mind your own business.
Excuses? No. It's the irrefutable fact. Life sucks. The trick is to learn to rise above it. Of course, you're completely unaware of this side to me as you're too quick to try and jump down my throat. Either that, or you're a completely naive fool who doesn't know their bum from their elbow, which actually wouldn't surprise me if that's how you look at things.

Not always... sometimes that falls on its arse as well thanks to (what I have been told) complete idiots.
Aparently 50% of all marriages fail... Such a shame that people don't take relationships seriously and thay they are quiet happy to poke any bit of skirt and not think about the trouble and destruction it causes.

I believe in having fun. Make yourself happy, if you can share that then great. In the mean time, get withas much ass as possible

I got mixed up with the thread below this one and read the title as 'What does your fish think about love?'.
Love is one of the most interesting and powerful forces in existence. To describe in words is quite a challenge. I'm not speaking only of the lust and desire between two individuals, though that may certainly bear an element of love. There is love for the self, love for another, and perhaps the most challenging of all - love for all humanity.
I don't know a lot, but what I do know is that it enables healing to take place and cultivates harmony.

Marry the OP. I don't think he has a vagina, but I'm sure you can come to some compromise. Besides, he's tiny; he won't fight back... much.

It's garbage really. I really don't see why people bother trying to justify 'love' to other people as its a personal experience and just comes across as condescending when you try to 'inform' others of it.
I can't deal with anyone telling me how wonderful their relationship is with their girlfriend or whoever. If it's so great, they wouldn't sit there telling me about it. I'd rather they talked about some valuable item they've purchased, at least I get to try that out...

Fortunate or unfortunate, that is pretty much my take on it.
I've been in love a few times in my life. But real love is very few and far between. I could count them on a very small number of fingers. On one of them I walked away for reasons I'm not prepared to discuss on a forum. But it was the single hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It felt like someone had stabbed me in the stomach. I was a mess.
And the reason I know that was true love was because, even after all the pain it caused me, I'm still glad I had that time and had those feelings. I wish her the best in life. /shrugs
If you don't know what love is then you've never really felt it. When it happens you will know.
(the 'take me to the clouds above' comment in my sig is quite relevant here for some very private reasons)

Love's a funny thing, and can be easy to confuse with other feelings if you have no point of reference.
People say you will know when you are in love, so many people think they are in love the first time the have strong feelings for someone.
As you move through relationships, you get to re-evaluate what you actually had.
My first long-term gf was also my cherry popper. We had much in common and were very attracted to each other, but after a year (and possibly influenced due it being my first proper relationship, but not her's) we realised that we wanted different things out of life and were moving in different directions. We split up and pretty much have nothing in common now (this was 2003-2004).
Certainly felt like love at the time, but the differences that became apparent nearing the end of it shows it was just social compatibility and lust masquerading as love.
After being single for a year, I met someone who I was attracted to, and also had much in common with in terms of music, social activities, tv shows, movies, etc. I was a bit lonely, so these external similarities again created a blurred illusion of love. So whilst we liked much of the same things, we were actually very different as people, and not actually suited at all. Cue a rather messy break-up, as she would rather be with someone she didn't actually want to be with, than be alone.
Due to this unhappy relationship, I got tricked in to thinking the next girl I got with, who we still get on really well (friends now) in terms of sense of humour, way of thinking, etc. This again threw and I thought she was the 'one', got engaged, then subsequently dumped a month late, LOL!
Wasn't love either.
Another year off and no burning need to have to be in a relationship let me take a more relaxed approach, and now I am very happy with an amazing woman for 10 months. What I have now blows any of the past 'loves' out of the water, so I guess this is the love that people refer to in that clichéd phrase.
