I’ve dated and slept around quite a bit but I’ve never experienced anything close to what I imagine “true love” is like. There was one incidence where I was kind of seeing this girl, hooking up mostly, and I was getting super into her. We laid down on the couch to spoon and this wave of bliss washed over me. The second it happened she got up, almost like she knew it happened and didn’t want me getting too attached. Has anyone on here experienced any kind of intense romance? I’m curious what something like that is like. Seems like short of a miracle the theme of this life is going to be mostly suffering. No room for something as beautiful as true love.

The relationship stages usually go…
Infatuation…lust…love…friendship…then companionship.

I’ve been with Mr. Star for over a decade. It isn’t like a movie, but it is real. He’s reliable, we care for each other, and we work together well. When you’re around someone for long enough, you start to pick up each other’s habits, mannerisms, and ways of thinking. I like all those aspects of him, so I am glad to have picked them up. When I see him reflect my own habits, it makes me love myself a little better. Because I recognize myself in him, and I love him.

Yup.
I had a smokin gal and a crazy-cool car. I was working in a produce warehouse making $19.00 per hour in 1991.
Those were good times. Cinematic? Perhaps not, but still had a blast in my 20’s.

I had an experience like that. I think I was in 3rd grade? I got seated next to the girl I had a crush on and we spent the whole class “hitting it off” I guess? I just remember basically being high while I was sitting next to her talking.

Was this post onset or was this before you got sick?
I was in a very passionate love affair in my early 20s. We were even engaged to get married but I broke it off. Long story behind that. It took me many years to get over it. Marvin Gaye once said in an interview that “Love is misery.” I think it makes the world go round though and it makes plenty of bebes LOL.

Mine was cintematic in that i got engaged to an inmate after three months of dating and he ended up breaking off our engagement to marry his daughter’s mom three months. I think i was experiencing an episode of mania when i started dating. Anyway he didn’t believe in mental illness and said i was having a spiritual experience lol. Nope just delusional homie. He contacted me through Instagram

I love cars like this. My dream is to join a car club
My last relationship only lasted 4 months but when I fell in love, that’s when everything got psychotic for me onwards. It’s too long to explain now.

Dude that amazing 
nice car
Yeah i met a guy in aus and it was like we’d known each other forever, we were so comfortable around each other the first time we met. I moved back to nz and he worked hard to save for a ticket to move to nz to be with me. Unfortunately i didnt show him how.much i really cared and after 6 months he broke up with me. I still think about him quite often he had a uniquely kind and loving enthusiastic about life kinda personality.

I’m romantically in love with my husband. We’ve been together over a decade. He’s handsome, generous, thoughtful, and I still get butterflies around him

Ive just finished an almost 10 intense life changing chemical romace with 3 men from instagram / youtube. 1 from Sweeden, 1 from Sydney and 1 from Canada.
I believe it was erotomania as i hardly had any real interaction with them but boy…did it feel AMAZING!!! No one to love or focus my romantic energies on now and to be honest I dont have the energy for it anymore…
