CaterpillarGirl Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I was listening to the radio this morning and they were quoting a statistic - that the average person falls in love four times in their lifetime. Just wondering how many times everyone here's been in love. Myself - two, but still looking at age 24. ~~~~~*
quankanne Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I've been in only three "significant" relationships, but in love only once. And then I got over it! seriously, though, I think that as people move through or experience a relationship, it gets them closer to their definition of what "love" is, hence the average of 4.
Author CaterpillarGirl Posted September 15, 2003 Author Posted September 15, 2003 Yes, the point that our definition of love evolves over time was also brought up on the show. I think that if you believed it was love at the time this should probably count. But what do I know? I've still got a lot of my life left to realize just how silly I am.
niko1999 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 I guess I am the average person, but this is definatly the real thing, and if I a the average person, then this boads well for me in this relationship!!!!!!!!!!

jenny Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 here is my persuasive argument: c'mmmmmmmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, please? i asked first. just refer to them in abstract terms if you don't want too much exposure (eg - the cook, the thief, and the very big fish?)
HokeyReligions Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I thought I was once, but when I met my husband I realized that what I felt the first time was nothing. So I've really only been truly in love with one person, but we've been in love together for a long time & still going strong.
Leikela Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I have been in love twice. My first relationship that lasted 8 years was true love, but love isn't enough these days. My current relationship is definitely true love as well. Of course there was one other time where I thought I was in love, but once I met my current boyfriend it was obvious I wasn't.
Clancy Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Are great big, fat, enormous, all consuming crushes considered being in love?
Bubbles Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I've been in love.......6 times. Is that bad? Married only once - divorced now......tee, hee,hee. Bubbles
yes Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 i've been infatuated numerous times... of these, two stand out as massive crushes. not sure of the meaning of "in love" yet, - i always think i am and later decide it was just a crush *shrug* -yes
