Yep, been in love, still am, stay a while and listen to my tale, even if some of you have read this.

Known the girl for about five years, but we only started dating about two and a half years later. She lives in Texas, I live in Australia, we've never met in person, but I still love her. We've had ups and downs, she's even gone out with other guys so her Dad doesn't get suspicious and to help compensate for the lack of me being there. Yeah, sounds like a pathetic excuse, but I don't care. She means the world to me, and she's written songs for me, drawn pictures, dedicated writing to me. We can sit together and just talk for hours on end about anything, and then later in the evening she'll lay down on the bed and just watch me as she falls asleep.

We...broke up in March for about 4 months; things were sorta dying down between us and I had been changing personality wise to the point I was constantly worrying about her and had no self esteem. 'Not the person she first fell in love with' in her words. I cut off all contact with her, I deleted everything which reminded me of her, I refused to even utter her name. Even with all that, she was on my mind, especially her smile and her laugh. For the life of me, nothing I did could get her out. I started taking a drink or two everyday because that would scramble my head and mess up the signals, her name would bring up a completely unrelated image. The smallest objects or phrases could bring memories torrenting back in. There was nothing I enjoyed doing anymore, I couldn't stand being at home, always constantly having to leave the house.

The whole time she had been trying to contact me, I was informed of it one time and I ran outside to throw up. She was sorry, so very sorry for breaking up with me, and when I talked to her again, she realised it was a mistake to do that, and she would torture herself by listening to music and doing things that reminded her of me. And, even though I deleted everything, I would subconsciously do those things as well. We've been back together for two weeks, and I haven't felt this alive, this motivated in so long. I think we needed that time apart, because we needed to know if we're in love. I don't care if going back is a mistake...I love her with all my heart. Some might say it's one sided and she's playing me, some might say I'm just obssessed. I don't care; if it works out, I'll be damn happy, if it doesn't I'll go back to how I was before and see how long it takes for me to move on.

There is a point to all this: I believe there is someone for anyone, they might not be in your country, and nothing is ever just sunshine and roses. I know the mistakes I made, and I won't let myself repeat them.

To me, love is very real.

Wow. Wish I could have that kind of feeling. Well no reason to be sour about it so
1: I wish you the best of luck in your future.
2: I hate you for not being as sad as me.

Best of luck finding out which one's sarcasm. Spoiler alert its the second one.

OT I think I was in 10th grade to someone who was in group therapy with me but 2 years later after 5 attempted failures at getting a girlfriend and 2 that never got to an attempt I'm kinda numbed to all good emotions. So if I was or not I don't know now and I don't think I ever will know.

Yes. Im in love with my current girlfriend even if she isnt in love me with. Oh yes she loves me, but she is not "in love" with me. I just feel that she is the most perfect being on the planet and we have only been dating for 5 months. I also adore her family but feel they secretly hate me.

I am in love. I believe it can be real for people. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Some people are players, heartbreakers, golddiggers, users, abusers. But most people live in hope that they will find that person they love and want to be with. I almost lost the love of my life, and i never want to feel like that again. If you can find someone you can't live without, that you want to wake up beside every morning go for it. It doesn't matter if you want to get married or not. Or if you are straight, gay, or bi, pretty much everyone deserves at least a little bit of love. Never give up hope. Because if you find that person and let them go, you will probably regret it.

yeah, i'm a 19-year old girl, but I know something when I see it.
How right you are, unfortunately sometimes love just isn't enough. No matter how much they know they love each other,and how much they care for each other, Sometimes...it really just sucks....really really sucks...lol. But hey anyone who has been in love has to admit...don't get much better than that. And if they get there shit wrecked by it can also agree....she/he was a crazy ass lol

I've convinced myself I was in love before. As I'm getting older, I'm starting to come under the impression that love is just a polite way of summing up the idea that you could stand to be around someone as well as bone them for the rest of your life. So what does that amount to? A partner who is at least not as annoying as your other friends and is a wonder in bed to boot.

Love is a delusion meant to breed dependence and fear. The dependence stems from the idea that, if you love someone, then you are pretty much stuck with that person (although love has conveniently never been officially defined, leaving it open for both interpretation and abuse). The fear stems from the idea that, if you don't have someone's love right now, then you must be failing at life.

If you believe that you are in love, then you probably are and there's no way I or anyone else could convince you otherwise. Of course, that's sort of similar to how I can't convince a schizophrenic that the voices he's hearing are actually just his own random thoughts.

Closest thing i've had to love is a high-school crush: We still keep in contact to a degree, and i guess i still like her but i havn't really revealed my feelings at all...chiefly for the reason that she's already in a relationship with someone. So...i guess the second one sort of first what i'm going for.

Yeah it's been done before. It's just a fun poll. Don't come here to troll.

Ever been in love? If so, how old were you at the time? If not, do you know why?

As for me, I fall into the last category of the poll.



EDIT: Because everyone is going into detail I thought I would do the justice of explaining myself too. I've never been in love. I've never met anyone who liked me or been in love with me. I've only been in one relationship and it was over quickly because there was just nothing there... I don't think I'll ever fall in love nor do I think I will ever find someone I like 'that way' that also likes me. So... long story short, I've given up on all hope. I'll just focus on career now.
I've been in love, and I am now. It's great, having someone in your life. Unfortunately this person is 3000 miles away, so I really want to see her pretty much every day.

It makes me feel wonderful inside every time I see her face, that's for sure.

I believe it exists, and I probably haven't felt it, nor do I know how it feels, but I imagine it is one of those things that you don't truly understand until you've been through it yourself.

Well the definition of love is very vague but ya I was the blind submissive slave of others plenty of times (not including the army).

Every time it turns out the same, I create this perfect image of someone and that image then starts to shatter as the person is no where near what I imagined.
But atleast the dopamine trip is fun and the withdrawal not somuch.

I don't think I've ever been in actual love.

With every girl I've been with, there was always the "I have no intention of carrying this on forever, it will most likely end before summer vacation" in the back of my head.

I've definitely have known girls that I've loved, but I have definitely not been in love

Edit: There has always been a girl I've known that I could never completely forget about. She dumped me a few years back for some odd reason right before we could hit our prime.

She's in another state away from me now, but I made a deal with myself if that she ever came to visit here or I ever randomly met up with her in California, I'd try to ask her back out on a date. Maybe there is something that we could never reach.

Is the last category of the poll not what love is?

Plus, how would you know what love is if you just shut yourself off from it? I know it's just an old saying, but there is literally a shit ton of fish in the sea. There is someone who is exactly like you somewhere in the world.

I am in love right now.. The only problem is that she's a friend and I'm a coward who won't admit my feelings in fear of losing said friendship XD
