What would it take for you to fall in love again?

Can you fall in love again

Would you want to fall in love again?

Does love only have to benefit you?

Is love a game to you?

Is love a means to an end for you?

Do you think love is real?

What?....Love?....what the hell is that?

lol

But seriously do you think you can love again?

I think I can....but...I do know love can make one weaker...as well as make one stronger....depending on your "better half."

Johnny_Sparton, I think that robrt787 is right. You can never fall in love if you overthink. However, we are not teenagers any more and we now know how falling in love can end, so we are scared of being hurt. That makes us overthink.

How can we get out of that unhappy circle? confused
I am always willing to love again..call me 'insane' cool
I have found love again and i find its even better this time around.
Love isnt something you look for, its something you give away

Robert,

It took me about a day....and possibly a half to admit this to you. I wrote it on my calendar, made some notation of it in my diary, got small tattoo on my inner thigh....laugh ....okay, the tattoo part is a bit over the top...but yes, I do agree with you.

:)
Xan....


I suppose one can over think it...

and

eventually jump in feet first and give it another whirl.

So...you agree with Robert too???

Robert, that is two of us you have on board.


Good pointing out Xan about the cycle.....seems as if it is easy to get caught in it too.

Hello DD,

Hmm, that is something to ponder about love and giving it away. thumbs up

Thank you for sharing.

Johnny,

For some people, love is a service station hamburger.
The first time they try one, they’re in love, and they’ll buy them again and again.

Mmmm, Hamburger with mystery ingredients. grin
Yes Robert.....with those burgers, you know what you have....perfect love. thumbs up laugh
Love..

You can breakdown the word and come up with all the emotions associated with it and see love is not always healthy to your mind. Your being.

Attachment, possession, expectations, and heart break...

I am learning. So, please don't think I am a bitter person. I like to love without having to say all the I love yous. I like to show love with doing things. By being able to show that I care because I love.dunno
Hi good day ??

For me Love is something dont defined by being happy together but also being happy in its worst even it hurt so much.
Also loving and been in love to someone even in a distance.
Falling so deep even you can't have him around.
Moving on to find someone else ir find someone else to moved on.
Everyone is ready to be inlove or fall over again not by choice but it will just happen and developed if you give it a chance.
Because love doesnt come always by a first sight most common it just developed by its effort or its time. ??
Johnny,

I’m of the belief, that if a guy brings a lady a three day old service station hamburger, it will impress her more than flowers or a gold ring.
Heck yeah! grin
I think when you truly experience real love, you’ll definitely understand, love is all encompassing.. it’s the most beautiful feeling in the world.. and any obstacles to prevent it will be overcome. Love, as they say, conquers all..
no ifs, buts or exceptions.

Love makes life complete.
I'm still not sure that I agree with robrt787. laugh
In order to fall in love, you need to be open to that idea. If you overthink, if you are afraid of being hurt, it will be hard for you to stay open, so you will probably calculate and stay safe. You won't have much chance to fall in love in that state. Even if the emotion appears, you will simply extinguish it, close your heart and run away to safe distance.
Xanthea,

Sheesh! First you agree with me, then you don’t! doh

grin Anyways, wether you’re open to the idea, ready for love, not even thinking of it, nor considering it. If you’ve written it off as impossible or “forget it” or you’re shy of it.
When that right someone comes along, and Cupid strikes you both with that arrow of love. Forget everything! You’ll be in love again.. there’s no force stronger.

Cooool, Huh? dancing
If someone mattered to me and knew it, and I mattered to him and knew it I would be happy but that goes for friends as much as love
Robert....I think Xan is kicking you in the ball sack. laugh tongue tongue
Robert.....for the record, I totally agree with you.

Love.....CAN be all those wonderful things you speak of.


(does totally agreeing with you allow for some qualifiers?) laugh
Johnny, when I fell in love with a man, that didn't make me stop loving myself. So when I found out I loved the wrong partner, I would let him find another love. Loving someone doesn't always mean to be with that person for live.
Kal,

That is a whole another dimension to this blog....the time factor....ownership...love and an expiration date.


We don't own anyone.
Marriage tells us until death does us apart.


Maybe a different mindset when entering into a loving relationship...a mindset of each person in the relationship has no obligation to its duration.

I wonder how that would confuse/complicate the whole meaning of love in the first place.

By the way Kal, I agree with you....the old saying is, if you love someone, set them free. But....it is quite contradictory to love...but not.

wave
Very good read Merc.

.....maybe it is that simple.

thumbs up

Thanks for sharing it.

these day's very doubtful...but love did happen for many in the past
Lee and Palm.....thumbs up thumbs up

grin

This is a song for desperate men...who worship women and need the love of a woman...be smart and don't let a woman know how you feel...be mysterious and keep her guessing...let her tell you she loves you and remember to thank her...cause talk is cheap and words are not the same as actionsidea
Lee,

I would say...be careful with women who know this about men and are just playing them based on the weakness of men. ...and, I would say most women know this about men.

dunno
in order to wake men up, and I will say this personally, I can't speak for all, I would like a nice, gentle man who would not judge of past "crimes". lol a nice honest man who wants a real woman. lol I LOL because this likely won't happen. let's be unreal and pretend. personally, I don't expect anything more that the usual run through the mill. with that in mind, keep that in mind. the loser is not the better. we ladies expect far less for less a bargain. the older female does not expect anything better than the usual heartbroken soul who has unrealistic ideas on the one who stole their soul. lol it's a mess
Palm,

You are describing me...with my soul stolen. laugh But, along the way...I found it hiding somewhere. :)

Thank you for your honest opinion. I bet you hit on a lot of reality there.

wave
I understand what robrt787 says, BUT laugh he thinks that we will all experience that "madly falling in love" feeling again. That might never happen, though. We can be alone and wait for that feeling endlessly or get into the relationship with someone we like, but are not in love with.

We were all in love and we know what it feels like. It is wonderful, but it never lasts. After a while reality sets in, emotions calm down and if we are incompatible with the person we fell in love with - everything falls apart.

I had much better relationship experiences with men I simply liked and found nice, but wasn't in love with than with those I fell in love with. Falling in love was always short-lived, turbulent and ended as fast as it started. The more I think about that, the more I realize that I fell in love with the image of those men I created in my mind more than with the men themselves.

Maybe that's what we do when we fall in love. We fall in love with our own imagination. Love (mutual respect and togetherness) is something completely different and I'm not sure that the feeling of "madly in love" is a good basis for it... confused
Xan,

I think that is interesting about what you said about your other relationships (liked and found nice), than the ones you were involved with in a loving way.

I have heard that before about falling in love with the image. I wonder if that does not come from stories told to us as children (fairy tales)....or....about what our friends have made us believe by what they perceive.

That leads me to wonder...

what about future love in your world?

or

would you just rather a friends type based relationship(s)

Is that the way of the future with many?

and

What about Robert?

conversing grin
Of course with conditions.
Moelle, is your comment have to do with Robert's view? :)

or


With...the wave of the future of having many partners/relationships and stay away from love?

wave
Never, ever again will I fall in love. My memory is still sharp in remembering the pain of going through so much hurt when the man I loved and trusted betrayed me. I keep my distance physically and emotionally if I talk to a male that I think is interesting. Once trust is broken it ruins it for the next guy who might have been the right one. And I don't feel bad about it. I choose to take care of my well being and one of the best ways to do that is keep men emotionally out of my life. That's my story and I'm sticking to it joy
Thanks for sharing SA. wave

Honestly, I know where you are coming from what that comment. I was there too.

Now....after about 10 years of being single...I would like to think I am a little smarter with my picker. laugh

But....I still think the dice still have to be thrown...in other words, love is still a gamble....
Johnny,

I see lots of people who if they fall off a bike , won’t get back on to try riding it again. And that’s okay if they choose to do so.

As for me, no more comments from me on this blog’s subject matter. I tried to to be open and positive on the subject. Not much more I can add. blues
Robert,

I seriously totally agree with your comments. thumbs up thumbs up

You are right.

But think what is going on her with people who were in love and lost...

is exactly as you say...

the knee got scratched up pretty bad and they don't want to do that number again.


The wound was deep.
...and hit the wrong nerves....
....but....with some hope and understanding...
perhaps they will pick up that bike again...

but...I have another philosophy Robert....that I might dabble with talking about later...

well...even here is fine too...

I question if monogamy is for some people...perhaps....less desirable for one gender.

dunno

But...we can leave that for another day or something else...

cheers
Hi Johnny
I'm pretty sure I can. I'm certainly don't hate women. Granted there are a few I don't like but I don't hate them. Yes, I'm sure I can.cheers wave
Hello Cat,

Thank you for sharing.

That is something else I suppose too...are men easier to fall back in love than women...or equal.

I would think it depends on how sensitive they are.

cheers wave
...not suppose....but wonder (rather)
I ache for you, but I dont know where you are.beer
Hello Raph...
