How many times have you been in love?

[MementoMori777]

And how many times have you been in love but not loved back?

[jennifer_bloom]

I have loved once in a spiritual way, once in a religious way, once in a relatable one, and once in an altruistic way. Once I attained religion, sexual love and intellectual love no longer existed for me, it became classified as another form of lust.

[MementoMori777]

Interesting 🤔

[IAmAzzurra]

In a romantic way, once. He broke my heart so many times & I let him because I loved him so much. I didn’t think it was possible to love someone as much as I loved him …. but by the time it was over for good, I felt completely depleted of any love I had to give.
I don’t feel like I’ve got it in me anymore.

I did come close in my last relationship, I think, but I’ll never know now what that could have turned into if things had been slightly different.

[MementoMori777]

Damn Azzurra, that sucks, I hope your next relationship you'll manage to feel love again, you just need someone special.

[IAmAzzurra]

Thanks 😊 He and I are on good terms now. It was just one of those things: it wasn’t meant to be.

I’ve met a couple of guys who I’ve had fun with since then, including the other guy I was talking about, and I’ve got my son now, which makes dating a lot less simple, but a lot less of a priority.
I’m not worried about it.
If it’s not meant for me, I’ve got plenty to be thankful for:

[MementoMori777]

That's a good way to put It Azzurra, have a good one 💯🙏

[IAmAzzurra]

You too 😊

[MementoMori777]

Thanks 💯

I've been in love a couple of handfuls of times.

Sometimes not pursued as I maybe should have or could have due to my shyness as a young man, unrequited once or twice, falling apart in misunderstanding too many times to comfortably think about.

None lasting as I might wish.

One time that has endured in being of a strictly utilitarian nature.

I take what I can get. I give what I can.

I have so much more than many others do.

I'm grateful.

[MementoMori777]

It's good to hear you are grateful for your experiences

[nolabels]

I try. 👍😊

[Finchie40]

A few times , my longest relationship was with my ex wife , but she ended up having an affair and that was the end of us , after her I started dating and ended up getting serious with a few of them but after the infatuation faze died so did the relationships , so it seems harder to find true love these days , I feel social media played a big part on damaging relationships and people’s heads

[MementoMori777]

Yea it really does, it's why you should probably convince your next partner to live life and off the internet, you do the same obviously so things are fair and healthier, or find a woman with morals that only wants one man, it's challenging I know but I'm sure it will be well worth it when you do.

[Finchie40]

Yea I been trying to play my cards right but not having the best of luck but I still try lol

[MementoMori777]

You can't really play your cards right if everyone is cheating in the game unfortunately, fortunately for us, the game never ends lol

[Finchie40]

Yea I realize most girls today are selfish people that only really do what is best for them , they don’t consider a man’s feelings like she expects him to consider hers , so that’s where the double standards come in and the relationships fail , Most the girls’ I dated were secretly dating other guys or secretly married , So lately I been going for younger girls’ hoping they don’t have much baggage like girls my age do , I want a girl that wants to stay under the sheets with me not one that runs to the streets

[MementoMori777]

Yep, loyalty is hard to come across with nowadays, either ways best of luck bro

[Beccaasaar]

Twice but they say you have 3 loves in your life, first love is young and you don't know it bc your to young, 2nd is toxic asf, lots of crying, depression, and you just hate him, 3rd is usually un expected someone your not attracted to but you might in the future and he just comes out of knowwhere. I'm waiting for #3

[MementoMori777]

Never heard of this saying before but it seems helpful, you keep waiting for that third Becca, you are almost there whoo 🥳

[Beccaasaar]

Thank you :)

[MementoMori777]

💯🙏

[Apulu_Imback]

I have been in love with my piano... and it seems like he loves me back too!

I don't have time for love now, I'm busy building up my career and I will think about this aspect when I'm settled and independent from parents. Most likely, I won't have enough time to pursue a relationship but I'll do my best if it indeed comes later on (I doubt it will).

[MementoMori777]

Well you and your piano make a lovely couple 😂

[Apulu_Imback]

I know right, we will soon have our 5 anniversary next year!

[MementoMori777]

That's crazy happy anniversary lol

[Apulu_Imback]

Lol yeah

[serious]

Yes and you are really a workaholic.

[Apulu_Imback]

@serious yes, I know. I know I can be a really good partner but that'll be possible when I have time. I don't want to waste his time by staying with him because it'll later turn toxic as we won't be giving time to each other (more likely I won't be able to give time). It'll be waste of time and energy for him as well as me.

[serious]

@apulu_imback

"yes, I know. I know I can be a really good partner but that'll be possible when I have time"

Yes I know you can be a really good partner. However, given that you are a workaholic it is unlikely that you will have time.

[serious]

" I don't want to waste his time by staying with him because it'll later turn toxic as we won't be giving time to each other (more likely I won't be able to give time). It'll be waste of time and energy for him as well as me."

As you know it yourself that you will most likely not be able to give time so you know what is better and what is right.

[Anonymous]

I loved 3 times.

I was loved the 3 times back

I feel God didn't allow circumstances for me to stay with the first or the second because the third one was the one, even if it's the poorest one and we see a hard future together, I feel he's the one for me 100%!

[MementoMori777]

Yep God knows the past present and future, it's why we need his guidance, this is a beautiful story no lie 💯🙏

[Opinion Owner]

aw thank you 😊

[Anonymous]

Twice and they were both pretty even and you know what they say, you'll never have a healthy relationship with the woman you loved the most. The reason is because you lose frame and let them get too many second chances which makes them just treat you worse

[MementoMori777]

Well it's why you gotta have word and always think of yourself as well, don't just sacrifice always and not get them in return

[EricSummer]

Only once, for four years from age 13 to age 17. Later I have still been rejected, of course, but I never allowed myself to fall in love with a woman who did not respond in kind.

[EricSummer]

Now I answered only your second question. Seven times in total.

[MementoMori777]

That's fair enough bro

[4ngelic]

if were talking like love love not just a crush, only once. was mutual

[FreyaRed]

My teen love was it.

[MementoMori777]

And I'm assuming it wasn't worth the time

[FreyaRed]

It was worth the time and experience despite it was a wrong choice

[MementoMori777]

Fair enough

[Anonymous]

Just once. With my husband

[MementoMori777]

👏👏👏👏👏

[Anonymous]

Twice. Once not loved back and once loved back.

[MementoMori777]

Pretty balanced, nice

[LiamJHayden]

Never been in love.

[MementoMori777]

Really not even on sided?

[LiamJHayden]

Maybe one of the girls I dated was, but I do not rely on emotions in choosing a partner.

[MementoMori777]

Really? How do you choose a partner then?

[serious]

Never been in love. Hence zero.

[LavLavLuv]

Once☝️

[MementoMori777]

I hope it's still going as we speak

[Spade_01]

Once.

Never.

[MementoMori777]

Damn bro, people be dirty nowadays smh

[Spade_01]

What do you mean?

[MementoMori777]

I think I took that never wrong, mybad bro, people still dirty tho 😂

[SxcSierraa]

Twice

[MementoMori777]

Well I hope that second one is the one 🥳

[SxcSierraa]

He wasn't but it's okay

[MementoMori777]

Sometimes people don't know what they leave behind, remember one thing tho, the one that deserves you will keep you, keep dodging them obstacles 💯🙏

[YourExLover69]

Mutual love felt on both sides? Guess zero

[Miristheiss]

2 times.

[Molly1997]

1, 0

[EaterPeter]

6 to 12 or more

[EaterPeter]

Four

[MementoMori777]

Damn bro that's a crazy number tho 😂

[EaterPeter]

I corrected my self. The actual number would be 4.

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[MementoMori777]

I thought four was the amount of times you didn't get loved back from the 6 to 12 lol

[EaterPeter]

Opposite 🙂

[MementoMori777]

Oof.

[EaterPeter]

🙂 trying to stand correct to myself for my own sake

[MementoMori777]

Fair enough lol

[EaterPeter]

4 times I get loved back and it could have been twisted love

[MementoMori777]

Ey even twisted love is still love, just toxic tho lol

[EaterPeter]

Yup toxic it was in some cases or how could I get to gather all that baggage 🧳

[MementoMori777]

Indeed

[Likes2drive]

Maybe 2 or 3 times
