justliketv Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 just wondering if anyone wants to share their (good) experiences of falling in love? maybe when you weren't expecting it?! I'm feeling very single and have been in unrequainted love for a loong time:( xxx
Leia Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I fell in love with this guy who was totally not my type. We hung out in different groups but shared a few classes together. He was a nice guy and all that, just kinda different from the type of guys that I used to like. He asked me out for dinner one day and we got into talking about everything in life. I told him things I did not dare to tell anyone (I still haven't told anyone else except him) and same with him (I think). We hit it off but at the same time, another guy asked me to go steady so I took my time. In the end, I went with the the former guy cos I just couldn't get him off my mind. We broke up cos I had to move and we thought it was best for both of us. The last man I was in love with was a great man until I found out he was married. He did all the things that would make me fall in love with a man! Damn him for lying to him. Oh well, I am better off without him!
ElvenPriestess Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Actually it was funny. I was promoted at my job, moving into a new place, and not looking to be with anyone. I was content being single. Then we met, went to karaoke together (lol) and it just sort of happened. I mean I'd had relationships before of course but I stopped looking and wanting. This was out of the blue but unlike any I'd met before. And the more time we spent together the close I felt to him and I realized that I'd fallen in love when I least expected to. His killer voice didn't hurt either ;-)
jerbear Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I looked at her, saw her smile, asked her out then...
LucreziaBorgia Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I saw the embodiment of every physical trait that I found attractive. I fell in lust, and over the years formed a bond that became love. It was slow in the making, but well worth it.
Karyyk Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 We met online and basically got to know each other over the course of 4-6 months, sight unseen. It wasn't physical at all, more at the heart and mind level, or at least, so I thought. When we met in person she wasn't quite what I had imagined (we never exchanged photographs), but not a disappointment by any means. I thought I was where I needed to be, finally. Of course, that didn't pan out and ended up being a long sad tale that spanned the better part of eight years of my life. What started so beautifully ended up being an unrequited love situation (as have most of my relationships). At this point, I think Lord Tennyson was partially full of it.
lary_p Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I just saw her in a pub when we went out as a group. During the 30 first minutes I knew it was that. Then it lasted 3 years...
crazybaby Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 My bf and i met at college. A few weeks into the course the ussual group of us went out for lunch. We hadnt realy talked much one to one, we were still getting to know people. But that lunch we fell behind the rest of the group, we skipped lunch class's and spent the afternoon in some little park swinging on swings ,giggleing like kids. That afternoon i spent falling in love. Took me a few more months to tell him that tho. Been together 4 years now, even through rough times i cant imagine EVER being with anyone else. :love:
motive2002 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 We met online and basically got to know each other over the course of... Mine was 2 months online. Fell in love with her before we even met in person. It felt so good then.... Then it was over Some of you know my tale, I'm not gonna re-tell it here. Not sure if I wanna fall like that again. It was so romantic how we met, even though it was online. It was bliss, for a while. /heartbroken
pandagirl Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 #1: It took me 6 months to open up and when I finally did fall in love, he dumped me! #2: Tortuous, dramatic, dysfunctional love. Never. Again. #3: Love (lust) at first site. Never experienced anything like it. I knew before even talking to him. Looking back, I don't know if any of these were really true love. I'm looking for a deeper more mature love now, one that can grow and deepen over time.
Nevermind Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I fell in love when I realized that he loved me. That I could hurt him, that I could make him happy. I fell in love when I realized that I wasn't afraid when he was around, I trusted him so deeply. He said he would never hurt me, that he couldn't bear it - and I believed him. I fell in love when I saw his face light up when he saw me, and when he held my hand when I was feeling sad. I fell in love when he let me do things for him and enjoyed being close to me. I fell in love when I said goodbye to him for the first time, before christmas, because the thought of not seeing him for some weeks was killing me. I fell in love in many many baby steps. And I fell deeper every time.
Trialbyfire Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I've decided to sit with the denialists. There's no such thing as romantic love. If this is a statement of fact, I've never been in love before.
carhill Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Read my journal Strange thing is, decades later, I look at pictures of her (never had one at the time) from that time and she looks nothing like I remember her. It didn't have anything to do with physical appearance at all, and still doesn't, and likely never will. BTW, I'd love to be in TBF's world as a denialist. Life would be so, so much easier, trust me...
Trialbyfire Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 *throws carhill a yoga mat* "Here, there's room by the instructor. She'll set you straight by pulling your heart out with red, hot tongs. Works better than a stone massage."
