For me, its confusing. I genuinely felt i had to be in love when i lost my virginity. But now that i rethink it, I think i was just scared and naive. I did love him but it definitely wasn't in love at that point. I feel i was more in love with my childhood crush who i still haven't gotten over. Some call it infatuation, but i doubt infatuation lasts for decades 🤣 For my second ex, I thought i was in love but i think I just loved him as well. He got on my nerves. I guess i was willing to settle to avoid having wasted the 2 years we were together. If i was in love with anyone else, it was likely this brazilian dude. I was willing to sacrifice so many of my wants to be with him. I was hella stupid and i do think i was in love but that shxt was toxic. Im leaving out 3 guys but thats because although we said “i love you” (in which one i apparently was in the moment and didn't even mean), i dont think i was actually in love with any of them. It was just too many pet peeves to stick around. Overall, i’d say i’ve been in love twice. This song below is my jam tho 🙌💃🏽#FeelFreeToList #YouEverBeenInLove

Remember falling in love is not the same as being in love. Love is not the same as lust. Loving someone is not the same as being in love withh them :)
3 times...1st one, we grew in love. My first crush. I wanted to wait till we were done with college but he didn't. He wanted to start a relationship. I knew we would distracting to both of us and I didn't want that for us. I wanted him to do his best. And I asked him to wait and so did I. I waited 5yrs and when we were almost in the home stretch I found out he resented me and he started dating someone else. I was crushed. Couple years later someone else penetrated my touch heart. We planned on marrying and we were perfectly in insinc with each other. But 1 moth b4 the wedding he ended the relationship. And I had opened up my heart and allowed myself to love again. Lastly... all i can say was this was faith. How we met... everything... it was like I was being lead to him. Going to an interview at the wrong place, where happened to have the same vacancy. Meeting him through someone I could not tolerate. And I saw the way he love me was just like how I was when I was in love before and he popped the question and I said yes a decade later and we are still married and in love.
Awww :( yea me and my ex broke up a month after we were posed to get engaged. Ig he realized he didn't want us anymore. But im glad it worked out for you with the last guy :)
Inb4 all of the lovely young ladies and gentlemen claiming that the opposite sex is incapable of feeling love.
I think I've been in love twice. I mean, I have loved many partners, I've even been in love a few times, but I think I have been IN LOVE twice. Really deeply in love. There is just something that you know makes it different but I can't ever explain it. It's just an emotion that effects me physically. It's seeing him drying his hair after a shower, in the adorable way that he does, and feeling my stomach gently vibrate, like there is an alarm clock going off inside me every time he does anything at all haha.
I have been in love all of one time that I can honestly say YES, I was in love. I was a senior in high school and she was in the tenth grade. We had been seeing each other off and on. I graduated and moved out of state to go to Electronics school. And so, we went our separate ways. She married and I came back home because the school closed down because someone had been dipping their hands into the cookie jar and the school went broke. They sent us all home without any of us finishing. Anyway, I did see her after I came back home. We did talk a good bit and I told her how I had felt and that I had missed her. After a few months we did have one last date where I was able to say goodbye and move on. I thank her for allowing me that opportunity.
As for my ex wife I did love her but I am not sure I was ever in love with her. However we are still good friends...
If there is a next one it will be the last one, commitment to her and her alone. I am looking for a long term relationship. Applications are on the table if anyone is interested. ;)
Well I have only ever been in two relationships and I loved them both a lot. The first one was a too childish for my liking but I did try to mke it work. Didn't work out tho. The second was recent, a year back. I thought she was the one. But she changed all of a sudden ( I think it was some bad influence of her friends), and it was she became negative and hateful of me. I tried to tell her she's not with good company but she put it on me that I had changed. So I broke it off.
4 I think 1: She really liked me, she even told me the situation (way to hard to explain) I remember holding both hands in vynal record area of a shop and the room was spinning around me. Didn't really date was a non-resident of Australia. She had to go home :( 2: I was so mesmerized about every aspect of her but I chose number - 3: I was in LOVE with her was engaged almost married but I think I also loved number 2. Not able to do that. 4: Everything in common I came out and said I liked her we never saw each other again except for me giving her bass guitar back and her giving me back my PS2. I found out at a much later time that she was gay. That's OK I wish she told me.
I have been in love three times. I was in love with my first girlfriend, but I was an asshole to her, honestly. I was posessive, jealous and just rude to her, and I hate how I treated her. The second one was never really my girlfriend. We were madly in love with each other, but our "thing" came to something of an unfortunate end before we could take the next step. When I met my second girlfriend, who wasn't really in love with, I was just a complete wreck in many ways, so I just liked anyone who showed a little kindness to me, which my second girlfriend did. It turned out she was more or less a sociopath, if I look at how she manipulated and used me. The sex was good, though. And I am currently in a relationship with the third girl I've fallen in love with. She lights up my world and brings peace to my mind. She is my angel 💕
Like most things in life it comes down to your perception of what love is in that moment, a definition which constantly changes as do our expectations from our partners. Plus what you love about one person might be different to what you 'loved' about another. I am quite the romantic, I believe in love, that you can like a million women but only ever truly love one. I thought I had experienced love but then with the benefit of hindsight and growth of emotional feelings for another, it made me question myself.
You know Everytime i fall in love my definition of love changes a little. Maybe it has to do with me growing up but right now I can't tell if I've been in love 9 times or never at all. Love is confusing like that. Some say doesn't even exist others build their lives around the idea. So I can't really give you an answer I don't have.
Probably never been in love more like In lust.. i thought i loved her, I had feelings for her but I don't know... Girls are mad confusing and dont understand them.. If she really loved me she never would of left me for a dude in Kansas city like wtf?
So many times... but each time it gets better as the love you feel at 16 is so different to the love you feel at 38! Love has no definition... it’s about the journeys you go through and relationships you have and lose... love is about learning who you are and ultimately when you fall in love with yourself you have the ultimate love!
I feel like to be in love means that the feelings are mutual. You can't be IN love with someone by yourself. But that's my opinion. That said, I was in love with my second ex. I should probably be married with kids to him but too much stuff went down between us, and the last guy I was talking to (and eventually fell for) stopped us from rekindling things. He's engaged now.
The two times I've been in love... well one was mutual. We were basically dating. Bt the childhood crush,... like we vibed so many years and were always at eachothers house and hanging out and i just never got over it. I think it was mutual but we never confronted eachother. Instead we let other people tell us how the other felt and I don't know who to believe. But until he says it himself, im not over him 🤷♀️ Its been over a decade and i really think its love. Infatuation doesn't last this long and its not obsession cause i dont stalk him or anything
Once probably, girl im 2nd grade Emily I had it bad for her, i say every time she spoke to me felt like i had won the lotto,
Id have done just about anything for her,
I looked her up years later she has a family of her own now, but you never forget your 1st love, i like to think she is happier now than i ever could have made her.
Once i think 🤔.. sometimes it is really confusing to understand whom u love specially for guys. But generally speaking i think you realise it when you have all ur friends around and people you think are most important in ur life but still u feel that you miss him or her.. so i think thats the sign of love...
I think I've been in love with 3 people. To me being in love is wanting them to be happy. Preferably with you, but if you can't make them happy you still wish for their happiness. Obviously I am in love with my girlfriend. The other two girls were crushes and I didn't hide that I liked them too much. I actually developed a friendship with one because we liked each others personality a lot. We probably would have dated if I hadn't almost died.
I just put their happiness above them being with me. I want them to happy with me. Yet that isn't always possible and if it's not I want them to be happy.
I’ve been in love 2 times in my life. First time was with my best friend. Second time was now, in my second relationship. Wait, not your first relationship? Yes. I wasn’t in love when I was in my first relationship.
I have been in love 2 times , once in my past and now with my current boyfriend, I agree being in love and just loving someone is completely different because till this day I have never actually forget the last man I was in love with and it has been 5-6 years ago but I can say I am fee in love with my current boyfriend of 1 year almost 2
I have only been in love once. We actually had mutual feels for each other, but I was stupid and didn't notice, before it was too late. It took me 2 years (almost 3) to get over him.
I loved only one person. I still love her even though we aren't together. After her, I've been in two relationships but they're just attraction based. So I broke up and decided to remain single.
n because i was a kid and was all abut bragging but once i got the chance i did not know what t do lol so... it took 2 more times before i did anything and the 3rd time was when i ruined it lol
Only twice. I’m in love with my current boyfriend and I was in love with my first boyfriend. I most definitely love my current boyfriend more than I ever loved my first boyfriend.
Well I’ve really wanted 3 guys before, wanted to be with them for a long time but that never matured you know? I have actually LOVED once and it’s a mature, beautiful kind of love
I would have to say twice, maybe a third. This last one is fresh and we were together for 4 years and i tried so hard. But I have poor, shitty luck with everything... So eh one step at a time...
A few times in high school and with my ex when we were dating last year. However there's one guy that I have truly fallen in love with that I'm currently dating! I love you @Trooper205! ❤
I don't know. Shit is confusing. Recently after a few years I felt love for someone and the first thing that came to my mind was to make it stop and second thing was to tell her. It's just so confusing for me.
Three times... Once to a woman I was too immature to get my shit together for, 2nd was the one who broke my heart, 3rs was the woman who helped build me back up and showed me what it was like to give more that you take.
It really depends on how you define it. I think I fall in love pretty easily, though. Mainly because I'm not averse to love. I'm not scared of it. It just seems like a natural thing to me.
Yea no thats not it at all 😬 but if it makes you feel better i’ll let you have it. Like for example, i could be falling for someone. The moment he really jacks up? Im done falling in love. So i didn't technically fall in love. I was close but nope
Three times first girlfriend cheated on me second girl we were together and she moved away due to military issues third time married and have been together for 27 years!
Because I think love is love. I think you can have different types of relationships and feel different levels of love for a person, but that's it. So knowing that, I don't think "Love" and "In love" are two different things. They are different relationships where you desire different things from a person that you love, and so the love that you feel changes. My point being that I don't think you can just say "This is this, and that is that" with love. I got what you meant though. I think ^^
I was in love with my fiancé who was killed in an auto accident 2 weeks before our wedding. That was 20+ years ago. I have yet to have that feeling of “love” since then.
I think "IN LOVE" as described is actually "lust". Which we all know fades pretty quickly. I have lusted several times, but as for "loving" someone, (needing them) never.
@DizzyDesii Unfortunately, I think I am at a place in my life where I am simply not capable of deeply loving a woman. I could see dating a woman but not having a "soul mate".
oncw my husband. I am in danger of losing him. I am so mad that he is not supporting me with my keto diet. Dr. axe said that is the only way tpo get rid of all diseases and get off all meds is to keto.
Ig i never loved them hoes then 😂🤷♀️ But that one guy, I've loved and in been in love with him since childhood. hasn't changed yet. That one is real... one sided but real lmao
whats interesting is, I thought i was in love with the others.. but looking back on it, it was a combination of either being in lust with them. or my most recent ex, fear of being alone that made me ignore her abuse for so long.
