When you are in love, you "make love" when having sex. That means slow, romantic love-making, the kind you see on soap operas.

But if find yourself fucking your partner porno-style (hot oral sex, doggy-style, ect.), chances are you're not in love. You're just horny and infatuated.

is that's what you think... I hope you stay "missionary" the rest of your live :tongue:

I think love is when you want to strangle them and hug them at the same time.




That's my view, anyways.
Pretty nifty, eh?

:wink:

:lol:

sometimes that is definately true. :wink:
 
i've been in "true love" only once, and i fucked it up by not going after the girl. if you like someone, please, GO AFTER THEM. Don't let it pass you by like i did. You know how people say "there is someone made for everyone." Well i passed mine up because i was too much of a pussy to go after her. :|

I dont think so. I got the feeling that the more you chase someone, the chances are...0.Anyway, i didnt do it yet, but i just have a good intuition and i think that is true for us(women).:|

if you've ever seen the movie good will hunting, the part where robin williams talks about missing the baseball game to "go see about a girl", thats what i meant.

if you havent seen the movie, go rent it, its a great movie.
 
O.k.i will! I am just saying....right now i am in the situation like that and i just think it has to be balance between giving and receiving back. If you are the person who just give and give and ...i am not sure,but seems to me it doesnt work. I have this thing going on. I called him, sent him few text messages, now...I think its enough.I just feel its enough. I think its my turn to receive message/call. :wink:

Putting your loved one's needs ahead of your own can be both a conscious and an unconscious thing; it really depends on what the needs are at that moment, doesn't it?


Don't overanalyze it. Everyday life with the one you love isn't full of give and take analysis; the give and take happens naturally. Big decisions that may require sacrifice need loving discussion, where each one considers his or her needs in light of what the other needs. It's never a ledger where accounts are kept. True love doesn't keep books. It balances on its own.

If books are kept and accounts compared, then it's not love. It's a competition and it won't work.


Congratualtions, Irvine. :) I'm a big fan of love. :D

I think this is a great point.

You can be in a terrific, healthy relationship with a wonderful person, but yet feel a sense of loss. Maybe because you are dissatisfied with your career or the direction your life is headed with, etc. The day has 24 hours and the only person you will spend all 24 with is yourself, inside your head. So if there is some aspect of your life that is lacking, for whatever reason, the other person's presence in your life won't make up for it because it can't. In the beginning you can maybe convince yourself that it does, but in the long run, the things you are unhappy about personally will still be there. You have to take care of you, bottom line, that doesn't mean to the exclusion of the needs of the other person or to some extremely selfish ends, but just that there are voids you cannot expect your lover to fill, and there are things which you will ultimately have to do for yourself.


Great post! :up:

i'm in the exact same spot... done my bit enough, now i just wait and see....
 
Oooh, oooh, I think I may have an answer, now.

It's when you're fucking terrified but exhilarated all at the same time, and your insides feel like they're turning to mush. :love:


:angry:
 
You know you're in love when the infatuation phase wears off - and you still want to be with that person :yes:
 
wow I like it when other people ask for advice and I read it and it helps me a great deal too!

thanks guys! :wave:

Love isn't (merely) emotional
 
I can only really speak for myself, though. Perhaps for some people it is not as such, I really don't know.
 
I once heard a statement:
"True love is when the feelings you got for another person are stronger than the need you got for him/her"

I don't know if it's true anyhow since I've never been really in love...:( :wink:

mmmhh....being in love...:drool:
