yes, I have known love with a lot of women. I loved every one of them but before I got ill I was a very intense person so I could never hold on to any of them. some I loved more than others…

I have been in love just a few times. Mostly with my ex-husband whom I still love very much. He is remarried though and I want him to be happy so I would never try to interrupt that.

No. I have had someone try to love me, but I wasn’t able to reciprocate and it ended pretty quickly.

Not sure if it’s something for me.

Yes. I tend to love pretty freely, there is all kinds of different love for different situations, but all are equally important to me.

No , and I’m not interested in love.
Perhaps in abstract love, in positive attitude toward people.

I have been in love so many times. Three times in school and many times in my adult life.
I was engaged three times and got married the third time. Sadly my marriage did not last long. After that I never got involved again.
I feel like I have truly loved all of them and that things just did not work out. Most of the time it was me who broke up the relationship.

I am engaged right now… I have a very supportive fiancee.

EYes, I have been deeply in love. Like jukebox said, I too was an intense person, so I could love wildly, but I was too temperamental to make things last. I would also pick very strange, free, intense and sometimes abusive men to fall in love with. The one I loved most, by far, is the father of my child…somehow I was incredibly touched by and attracted to him. He mostly treated us like crap and I have been so scared and psychotic because of him…but secretly I sometimes still think about the good or passionate moments and even wish I could share things about our son with him. If it wasnt for his disregard for the wellbeing and the safety of my son, id probably still love him, which is weird.

I do miss these intense feelings of love and passion after becoming ill and i want them back. It all feels a bit bland without.

Even though I must say…it is easier to make wise decisions without this particular emotion in this area…I dont see myself getting accidentely pregnant again of some abusive idiot i feel strangely drawn to because I simply dont have this blind love and lust now that overwhelms my thinking.

But still…I want love back. And someone to love.

I have a real love story. It was Feb 1991 and Valentine’s Day and I was in Atlanta and had a dinner with my girlfriend at the time, she was an American woman and she said that she loved me and I repeated that I loved her, then later in April we got engaged in Galveston,Texas and then in 1992 married in Atlanta. Now it has been almost exactly 17 years since I saw her at her lawyer’s office and after I disappeared to Miami, America and the world. I did not want the divorce and recently I discovered that I was still officially married to her. That is one love story.

I hate that feeling, I have always repressed my crushes and in these last years I took a more radical approach and decided to avoid every contact with people of the opposite sex.

My most intense experience of love was when I waas around 30, being in a love relationship with someone I’d had a crush on in high school … dreams coming true.

The love of my life wasn’t real, but she did love me back, as much as she could, given that she wasn’t real and all that. For about two or three weeks. Then things got bad. Very.

The most intense Love I had was with a gal that we argued all the time, even during sex. It was like a wild roller coaster ride for about 6 months, We went at each others last nerve day in and day out. It was bound to fail, but was so hot at the same time

It was like that with my first fiancé. People never new if we were together or if we had break up. Friends kept asking us whether we are in or out. Needless to say the engagement last for 3 days…but we made up after 2 weeks. :joy:

With people? No. Not really. I’ve always felt love differently and by that I mean I love nature. I’m quite happy just watching the birds fight at the feeder or getting a big wet kiss from my dad’s dog Oliver. Just different I guess.
