Do you think that a person truly loves only once in life? What kind of person are you?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

The person who believes in the statement you just wrote.

The person who does not believe in the statement you just wrote.

I would prefer to see the poll results🙃

Nah i love a lot. But now a days i question if some of it was just infatuation since i was blind to the situation. Anyways, although i have loved many, im not IN LOVE a lot. Like Jamie said, you may only love with mo reservations once in life but that also depends on age and/or naivety. However i disagree with how he said everyone else will have to tear down a wall. No i give everyone a fair chance by default. I trust until given a reason not to. So the new guy would have to do something for that wall to go up. The one thing a guy does not want is for my wall to go up later on because even if he starts tearing it down, he's already fully lost my trust and it will always have another layered wall right behind it. I dont like giving second chances for a reason because its never a fair chance like the first. They’d be wasting their time pursuing me a second time around after a failed first. It would be like a game of SAW honestly.

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii I do give people a fair chance. But that doesn't mean they don't have to work. No one is given anything that isn't earned.

[DizzyDesii]

@Jamie05rhs they dont have to earn my time, attention, and trust. They just have to keep and maintain it

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii She doesn't have to earn my time. True. At least not initially. I'll give her 5 minutes for free.

And she doesn't have to earn my attention, either. But she does have to ask for it. If she wants me to be on standby for her, then she needs to tell me that she would like to have that level of priority from me. (And I think that I deserve reciprocation for that.)

But she DOES have to earn my trust. I'm sorry, but my trust is not just freely given away.

[DizzyDesii]

@Jamie05rhs i get it. But like i said trust is a default setting for me. I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii Okay.

[JamesDiaz11]

I don't know what you mean by "true love," but my guess is that it's some fantasy. Either way, I believe people can love someone romantically several times in life, in different ways, and to different degrees.

I've loved 5 women romantically in my life, including the girl I'm with now. The first one was first love, I was incredibly attached to her, and I was devastated when she broke up with me for someone 15 years our senior. The second was a girl who checked all the boxes, but I was too immature to appreciate fully- I still loved her tho, but she represents a path my life should have gone. The third was a girl that life gave me to provide me with a reality check, and get over myself. I didn't want her because of her high body count (appx 13), but we were passionately into each other, and had difficulty cutting each other off.

The fourth was a girl who I met when she was still young, fun, and I was her first love. I smiled again for the first time in a long time, and planned my life around this person- she really was my best friend (really my only friend). A combination of things occurred at the same time and she decided she'd be better off. I probably loved her more than anyone else, and this is AFTER 3 other girls who I was either engaged to, or talked of marrying.

Now, I'm with a really innocent girl who is everything I asked for, and I love her because she's such a sweet person. The things she does, and the parts of herself she shows me are endearing, not to mention she let me take her virginity after waiting 6 months.

I don't know about women, but as a guy you can love multiple times.

[David_Bayer]

Love is a complex emotion that involves a combination of psychological, biochemical, and social factors. It is associated with the release of hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, which activate the brain's reward system and create feelings of pleasure, happiness, and attachment. Love also involves cognitive processes, such as evaluating a potential partner's traits, and social interactions, such as shared experiences and mutual trust. The exact nature and cause of love is still not fully understood by science.

[TrueConfection]

Assuming this question is romantically speaking;

That would be a lonely life to me. Some people are harder to love than others, but we can certainly love more than once. People are different and our relationships will be different, therefore we will love people differently. It's still true love.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think that you only have one first love but most people don’t stay with that person for the rest of their life. Subsequent loves are different, less idealistic, more mature.

[AviatorTom]

You can love multiple times. It's even possible to love two (or more) women at the same time. Best example is a widower. After his wife dies, he can meet someone and fall in love again.

[fonduegirl]

Same goes for women, yes?

[AviatorTom]

@anon1903 Yes

[fonduegirl]

Thanks

[Guy13]

No. People come and go in life and to limit oneself to cliches is both ignorant and self-destructive. We love many times.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope, I think I am silly enough to fall in love again.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

You think it's silly. I believe that to be your plus point, your power, ability to recover from any situation possible.

[menina]

I don't believe in this statement. You can love yourself, your family, your friends, your life, your job etc...

And if we're talking about people, you can love different people at different stages of your life. Also, there are different kinds of love.

[cryscrys1]

It’s humanly impossible to love once in life
You can maybe love once your creator but that is all
I can’t give an earthling power a human as I am all my love once in my lifetime. If it happens ofc that is great if not nothing much to do about it.. the show must go on

[Jamie05rhs]

@cryscrys1 I didn't quite understand what you said. Can you paraphrase?

[cryscrys1]

You can’t love only once in life

[Jamie05rhs]

@cryscrys1 You can if they say Yes. 😊

[cryscrys1]

They can say no after it too

[Jamie05rhs]

@cryscrys1 🙄. I meant if they say Yes and MEAN it!

[Jamie05rhs]

I believe that you only love with no reservations once in life.
Once your heart is broken, you put up walls.
So the next time you fall in love, that person is not going to have free access to your heart. They will have to earn it over time by breaking down your walls.

[tina_695]

I am someone who doesn't fall in love easily i can be attracted for few hours but love takes time to develop so when i fall in love i fall hard and it's once in a life time for me that i don't want anyone else apart from him

[Stressyalaire]

Maybe if it was a great relationship and we only went apart because you passed away after a long happy marriage, I don't know if I would be able to want to date again.

[XXblack88]

I thank you can more then once in life but when people get burned, they tend to guard their heart making it harder to let things happen on their own.

[fonduegirl]

I wouldn't say you can fall in love again and again. But you can definitely fall a few times. First loves are important, but so are seconds and thirds.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

You can pretty much love anybody in life. Not just only one person. Otherwise, lots of people wouldn't have more than one partner.

[Potteplante]

No I do not.

I believe that love is a choice, either you choose to love someone or you don't.

[serious]

Yes a person truly loves only once in their lifetime.

[abc3643]

Yes, this can happen more than once.

I can vouch for that.

[SnowedIn]

People can love multiple times and multiple people in their lives.

[boobliker]

no you can love many I still love my first girl friend but love the one that is here now as much and more

[Exterminatore]

Definitely more than once in a lifetime, but they all don’t love equally.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. I can choose to love as many or few as I want.

[driven159]

I think your first love is the purest but the loves that happen later may be longer lasting.

[TrillXHippy]

I’m not gonna say too much. The less people know the better for me

[melanieeeB]

Some people come and go and so does love.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Nope.
