Search Results: in love with someone

For me, it's definitely physical touch. I feel like I bond faster when I'm physically connected to someone.

She won’t butt out. At first I took it as “okay, she means well”, but now I don’t know. I took a long break from dating and was fine just being single, and she says “nope, you’re 40 now and you’ve been single too long. You need a man in your life. Since you’re friends with me you’re getting a man whether you want one or not” (she loves to matchmake). I realize she has a point, so I get on Facebook dating. She saw me on the apps one day at lunchtime (we work together) and she’s telling me who to swipe right on, who to swipe left on, etc and when I didn’t swipe right on a guy she told me too, she literally took my phone out of my hand and swiped on a whole bunch of guys because I (according to her) “clearly don’t know how to pick men”. Eventually I did match with a guy who I really liked, we’ve been dating for almost a year, and she doesn’t like him. Apparently she’s got someone all picked out who she wants to fix me up with (who’s a really nice guy and financially well off but I’m not attracted to him). The guy understands and said it’s fine but she won’t stop and says “this guy’s perfect for you, and your boyfriend’s a loser. Dump him and give this other guy a chance.” (The guy is definitely loaded and my boyfriend supports himself well, but he treats me well and we make each other happy).

she’s gotten to the point where she’s literally taken my phone out of my hand and texted my boyfriend from my phone making really ridiculous demands on him (like demanding he get me a Louis Vuitton bag for my birthday which I know he can’t afford). She’s caused some bad fights between us this way.

I’ve tried telling her to butt out but she doesn’t. She’s dating a guy who is 25 years older than us and is trying to push me to date much older as well. My boyfriend is early 40’s, like me. Nothing wrong with dating older men, but if I’m happy why can’t she just butt out?

Essentially love is what stimulates our mind and desires, while sex stimulates our sexual organs.

Agree or disagree?

Many people try to figure out what love is and all about but technically it’s going to be someone we find attractive and stimulates our minds whenever we talk to them and/or do things with them. They stimulate* us- more so than anyone else would. If we do a hobby with them or take a trip with them, we may find it more rewarding and engaging* when we experience it with them. They enhance the overall experience. Then the plus is that they’re attractive and the sex is fun and engaging with them as well. Liking them is what makes the sex better.

So love is somewhat and nothing short of: shared experiences with the person who stimulates us mentally more than any other person, and arouses us simultaneously.

Thoughts?

I'm not saying I'm in love yet, but we seem to be on the same wavelength. Like tonight we just really gelled even more than before. It's like everyday the chemistry between us is growing stronger and I can seriously see myself being with him for a long time. It's going on 3 weeks since the first date and about a month since we matched. I'm not sure if it's too soon to start falling in love, but I'm starting to have strong feelings.

Which I know is crazy but can you seriously put a timeline on love?
