I want to ask a very serious and honest question. Laugh it off throw insults whatever you wish but I am in need of knowing what people truly believe anymore...

Am I the last remaining person in the world who trusts their heart to such a degree that all I need to know if I love someone or not is to look into their eyes even if not one single word is ever uttered? I am dead serious when I ask this. Is there no one left on the planet that knows their heart and trusts it well enough to be able to say the same?

It is all I have ever known of love. I hear people say they build it, they fall into it, the learn to love.. etc and I can not understand it at all. I try, I try very hard to understand that... I just can't... I have even tried to do that before.. it just is not there... I look into a woman's eyes and no matter what I know of them when I see their eyes my heart tells me that I either Love them or I don't..if I don't I never will... if I do love them I will never stop loving them...

so again I ask with a bared soul... am I the only one left that is this way?? Do you think I am insane, or that I obviously don't know what love is etc? tell me what you HONESTLY believe! Please.

If you don't want to post then email me because I need to know if I am the only one left like this and everyone thinks it is insanity or whatever then I need to know so as to stop wasting anyone else's time...

I have met thousands of ladies in my lifetime.. I have been friends with hundreds... I have loved 8 and no when I am in Love the feeling is singular there is no room for any other.

The important part about love is how it endures the tests of time - I think what you are describing is attraction Shedman - yes, Ive looked into peoples eyes and thought I will love this person forever but what we are promising there is to love the illusions and hopes of what we will find in that 'significant other' - what happens once the realities set in and it becomes obvious that you are directly opposed personalities? You go your seperate ways and all you have left is the illusion you used in the first place to fool yourself into your own perceptions of completeness.... thats my take on it anyways.... laugh

well I wish that were the case for me.

Thanks for the time but I fear my attempts to seek an answer to this has removed my need for an answer... take care all and thanks for the time spent.

best wishes for each of your futures.

I'm sure you are not the only one. I have locked eyes, on a packed train, on a plane, on an escalator, but nothing has ever come of it.

Do I believe it cannot happen? No, I do not believe it cannot happen, for some it does, as you describe.

Have I ever felt that instant attraction to a person, that rush of goodness that runs through my veins and makes me tremble at the knees?

Yes, there are so many men out there, that I could fall in love in with, immediately, but I don't, because I love one.

When i did not love one, then it was great, because I could enjoy the time I spent alone, smiling and thinking 'Yes' you look great.

I think it is a great question, Shed, and one that should be explored further.

Love is different for all of us, what we perceive love to be, it never is a place where we fall, and remain there, we keep getting back up and falling all over again.

Sometimes with the same person, sometimes with different ones.

So very well put, Sommer! thumbs up

In my opinion, when you've found that one, there really isn't room for another. The one who makes your heart flutter just to know he's there or even thinking about you. There may be other men that you say to yourself, "Now he's an attractive man." But that's as far as it goes.

Thank you. Very much. I have been awake far to long so am headed to bed but I will explain myself a little more then to say sleep deprivation later...smile

Again thanks for the supportive statements. Because what I experience is far from infatuation or anything simple, but it happens in the most simple way, that's all... just very difficult to explain and is often simply not believed.

But again I am to tired and I know it to try and explain now. Night all.

In response to the abov¨:- that is exactly what I would do - thats why I would have to insist on a face-to-face meeting - its all in the eyes. I would simply stand in front of the person, put one hand on each of their arms (around about elbow height) and look them squarely in the eye. I would KNOW for sure whether it was LOVE instantly.

I truly believe I know within a few seconds or minutes if I will be able to love someone; however, love will come slowly for me. I think many of us have pondered the question of 'love at first sight'. Most don't believe in it, some do. I don't believe in love at first sight. I do believe in like at first sight. I even believe in lust at first sight; a real physical attraction.

Knowing from the beginning is important to me. It starts with what we/I call that spark or chemistry we feel toward the other person. You see someone, you meet someone, you pass someone on the street and you get that feeling and thoughts go through your head. To me that is the initial chemistry that has registered with you that she is possibly the one.

So when you look into someone's eyes and its not there. Its not there! I am one like you are that I do not believe it will show up in time. That if you get to know the people over a long period it will grow into love. Yes I believe two people can be together and over a long duration will really like each other and have a great relationship.

Once I think I have seen her and the spark is there and spend time with her I think my love will come over time. It will grow and overwhelm me. This is where the most important parts of the relationship must develop: personality, traits, intelligence, likes-n-dislikes, interests, and many other things.

So I hope you see you are not the only remaining man believing in look into her eyes to see if she is "the one".

J., we here can give our opinions, share our expiriences, but there are about... hmmm what(?) 15-20 people participating in forums(?)... it's in no way will answer your question if you are the only one.

I personally do not believe in it, no... though happened once at 17, when our eyes had met and locked... not "across a crowded ballroom" but on packed train when we were standing right next to each other.

He found me later that same day, turned out we were attending the same university, but didn't see each other before.

Lasted till I was 30.

Me being 17 and him 19 did the trick I guess.

The young age and those striking green eyes did the trick, methinks.

Don't believe it would've happen if we were a decade or so older.
