DoubleFantasy: It can also mean that looking for love in it self can become counter productive - instead could happen anywhere whilst doing something mundane even - where it flows like a waterfall and quenches your thirst - and like a tilde wave it washes all over you, where its become, and becoming, with love just happening, ...cupid finds you and busts your heart wide open, with love its feelings not reasons that help you to know and that moment which entwines together in a fleeting moment (i.e the fall part of "fall" in love - and it being unplanned)

Looking for love might become like kicking a can down the road (an never ending road).

And further to this, it might be just under your nose.


That is true. We can find love in the most unexpected places. heart wings

DoubleFantasy: And if it is unwanted Love - it was not Love to start with.

Additionally...
I would say for most people its the fear of getting used.
And you want to love without having to look over your shoulder.
As well as you dont want Love to take up your energy.


I want something to last. smile
For me, the hardest thing is when you start to feel that you are growing apart, that the feelings fade away and you cannot do anything about it. moping
I want a never-ending story. heart wings

I envy people who go from one relationship into another, from one date into another, like strolling through the park - now picking up this flower and enjoying its smell, now listening to that bird's song, now resting under that tree, but their journey never ends and they don't want it to end. Just travelling from one person to another. What lucky, lucky people! sigh

wave I wonder, what is there to envey, to go from one person to another? To me, it sounds more like changing shoes and socks, and not particularly being attached to any.... I wouldn't want to be with one of that type,as Bell in my head would say 'I am next ' uh oh Is not good to take a long time to grieve...but is not good jumping from one person to another. More than anything, it's probably emotional immaturity.wine

Nope ... better to have lost in love than never to have loved at all !

Take time to regroup (how long depends probably on length of relationship and how deep one felt about the other)

A long relationship can leave a person with as much grief as a bereavement and typically 'grief and recovery can be two years with a 'coming right' in year three ...

Too may people seem to think the best way to get over the last one is to get under the next one ... which may well be why there's so many shallow people and relationships have become more or less disposable ???

rainbowdream2017: I am not sure I fully understood your point. Who wants to feel only as 'just a poster'


Please do read the last two final words of that post. I do agree that people inline can make a difference. teddybear

jono7: i think you’ve stated this much better than I could.
i believe love is a choice.
i also believe all one really has is this moment, shaped by one’s perception.


It does tip the scale to being an accepted choice.
Then its - what your going to do about it
It might be that it feels a bit overwhelming...

...at that stage the tell tale symptom of love is

Sighs

Sighs

Sighs

Trinity,

Your earthly observations is interesting - what has become of this world we thought we knew.

I would say:
a) They are empty and hollow - if they do wrong - it will catch up with them and - no ones immune.
b) There has to be some kind of "fail safe" method to keep things running smoothly.
If we see it as a car it needs a reqular service and be looked after.
The more miles the car has done the more chance of a breakdown.
If your car breaks down, what you do is - you get it fixed and carry on.

I think it should be discussed what would happen at any of these eventualities at the very beginning. It could be:

Stage 1 - we will talk about it until its resolved (preferably before the day is through)
Stage 2 - what we agree we will carve in stone (in someway) so that its a concrete commitment
Stage 3 - we will seek out a neutral third party who knows about these things to unravel their wisdom (who ever best that might be)

I'll be on radio silence for short while...

In the play "Love’s Labour Lost"

The following words are reminiscently uttered

"A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind.

A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound."

....
"And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.
Never durst poet touch a pen to write
Until his ink were tempered with Love's sighs.”

- You put me into reading more of Shakespeare poetry. Lol
