Poll: Have you ever been in Love?

[furgy117]

I did until i realized my buddy paid her for my 18th birthday party.

 

[Treefingers]

A 'yes' option would be nice.

'At first sight' and 'After many years together' is too bigger difference.

 

[Plurralbles]

Nope. I'm not sure if I'll be able to say if I am or not in the future as well for when I'm actually in a serious relationship. God help me I will not settle.

 

[shirin238]

i've been in 2 relationships, yet neither would actually classify as love i guess.
I am 21 years old now, in college, and my mind has become so vile and twisted that i'm 100% sure that actual real love does not exist
So sorry for all you romanticists (I wrote that wrong) out there.

 

[daxterx2005]

does it count if you've had it, but later desolved into supreme hatred?

same V_V"

 

[Outright Villainy]

Yes, I am. Been going out with my girlfriend for 3 and a half years now, and she's my best friend, who I get to make sexy time with. Woo!

 

[kalakashi]

Yes, but I wasn't with her for years. You should really make a "Yes" option.

 

[Billion Backs]

Yes, I had, but I don't "believe in it".

Love isn't something spiritual. It's all chemistry. If we weren't bound by some kind of superstitious "ethics", the world might have been a generic sci-fi dystopia, but it would have been enough to simply eat a pill and instantly fall in love.

Frankly I don't see why people think that things happening randomly by themselves are somehow better then when they're controlled. It's pretty hypocritical, too, seeing how we practice medicine to save people who would have been toast without ingenious machines.

Love in some kind of spiritual "light in darkness" sense is just a happy delusion we are all susceptible to at some point or another. Belongs in the same bucket with "meaning of life", "reason to do anything", and all that.

Not that it's that bad. Drugs that bring entertainment are, well, entertaining whether they come from inside your body or otherwise. Runner's high is awesome.

 

[Lord Honk]

yes, and it was wonderful, we spent almost 2 years together before she left me for some douche who banged her twice, then left her, and now she's blaming HIM on me.

goddamnit, crushes, any time, but never again fool myself into "true" love.

then again, even hitler had a girlfriend, so i guess everything is possible xD

 

[Count Igor]

Love at first sight.
I really do feel bad for those who haven't had it yet, but I do think there's someone for everyone.

 

[Infinite Betsy]

I have been in love twice. Once with my ex. It was incredibly and awesome... until it started going downhill. He either has some major commitment issues thanks to his parents, or he simply wasn't in love with anymore. It ended really badly... Ugh, that sounded pretty pathetic.

A while later I fell in love again, and it's going great. We've been together for 4.5 years, and we got married last year. I'm a happy camper.

 

[HotPinkCrayola]

I've been lucky enough to fall in love three times with three very different men. First one was with for three years, second one year and a half, and my current relationship is 9 months old almost.

Falling in love gets better each time when you realise exactly what you didn't want from the last guy! Even though my last two ended badly (first for him, second for me) it doesn't devalue the fact that at one point we were in love.

 

[Socius]

There was this girl<3 I fell in love with her at first sight, we bacame close. and then we were together for 1 and a half year. She dumped me last week because her old crush had moved back to town T_T now I am alone and sad. FML

 

[Canadamus Prime]

No. Even though I have immeasurable amounts of love for friends and family, I've never received the gift from someone else romantically.

Perhaps not, but the question is, have you ever given it?

 

[CK76]

Perhaps, I'll know better in 2011 and get back to you.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

My soul is a black pit of anger, hate, and self-loathing. But she managed to find the one point of light in that darkness. Then she just disappeared. I've never felt the same way since. The light, not the pit of blackness; that's still there.

Dude, I would have taken your comment a lot more seriously if you hadn't used such flowery language and hyperbole. A simple "I loved a girl, but she left." would strike a far more common chord than what you said.

OT: It depends on how you define love, I guess. If it has to be mutual, then no. If not, then I guess so.

By the way, I'm not liking these poll options. I know there's a limited choice, but there doesn't seem to be a simple "Yes" there.

Though the meaning and story are authentic, I meant the language as a joke. Don't worry if you didn't get it, few people get my jokes even in person.

 

[skywalkerlion]

I thought I was in love a few times. I'm trying the break that habbit.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

No. Even though I have immeasurable amounts of love for friends and family, I've never received the gift from someone else romantically.

Perhaps not, but the question is, have you ever given it?

I never had the chance to...

Give it time, that'll change. It is the greatest gift you can give someone, and receiving it is pretty awesome too. ...while it lasts.
