I dont know what to say. I have never experienced it. Any information from people that have?

I don't think it exists. I think it's just something that we hope exists. I have thought I've found it so many times only to watch it dissolve into nothingness.
That being said, I always have love for my kids. That kind of love is eternal.

I think it exists for some people. But some people can't do it. Or if through some fluke they do it's doomed to end in some bloody, tragic way. I think I'm someone who wasn't meant to love.

That is awesome!

I mean the loving kids is awesome.

I have been in love with a girl before and she loved me back. We weren't together for that long, but I can tell you it was the best time of my life. I would think about her all the time, and when we spent time together it was perfect. I felt so nervous around her and I wanted to be with her all the time. It was just great to know that she was thinking about me too. I NEVER thought anyone would love me, but it did happen. I think I was meant to fall in love, once in my life. I realized when I am in love that I can be a great person. I also realized how awful I can be. You feel extreme emotions, both good and bad, for that person. When you're happy it is magical but when you're upset with each other you feel like breaking up.

I've felt love from 2 sources. a dog. and a 3 year old.

upon further reflection...maybe that wasn't love, but loyalty

I believe in love. I don't believe it's something you fall into. I believe it's a mutual feeling. I wise person once told me to never love something that doesn't love you back and I've never forgotten.

That's a good idea. I don't want to love anyone though. I'm just afraid that as soon as I do they'll end up dead in some nasty gory awful tragic train wreck or something. So... someone needs to tell that to the people who love me, I'm not going to love them back.

This has happened to me as well... I've thought I've been in love several times. I've been in a couple long-term relationships. It's amazing how, after some time has passed and you've stopped talking to the person, the feelings can just....disappear. I'm young (I guess?), so maybe it wasn't "love" at all. Infatuation? Lust? Love? Who knows.

I guess it's just funny, looking back on everything, how a person can be the center of your universe and... later... just... hardly even enter into your thoughts. Sad, really. Especially because I'm a romantic at-heart and I really want to believe that true love is out there.
