I've heard different opinions on this, and would love to hear yours.

wave

Do you think that you can truly be in love with more than one person at a time?

Are there different 'degrees' to which you can be in love?

Could you perhaps be 'in love' with one person, and at the same time infatuated by someone else?

How do you tell the difference between 'falling in love' and 'falling in lust'?

None of these situations are easy to be in, I'm sure - what would be a good way of solving them?

Common sense and everyday life events tells me is possible to fall in love with more than one person at a time and at different times with "varying degrees"for them that have the gift.

The compositions of beauty and love are often times inter-twined-just like the liquid of a perfume and the aroma in infused -two inseparable companions.

While one may choose not to have two affairs for sake of reputation and trust:it doesnt erase the truth that there are stars,comets,meteors and asteriods whose brightness and sterling beauty supersedes waning candle light one is beholding in the nights of life.

Each of us is endowed with distinct features that distinguish our personalities which often times defines our affinities to others.compare sodium ions,potassium ions and the inert elments in the period table(chemistry).
some have tens,some five and others just one. Some recognise their deficiencies on time and spend and be spent to improve while some dont even care and watch life pass them bye,some update existings to keep up with the trend of life.
It all depends on one's chioce.Everything is possible

Plus, I do not like genderising the issue, but men are different from women. They think differently, they are a species on their own as we girls are.

I await the onslaught, but hey, I am happy to share my views.

I am having a hard time expressing my view in this... roll eyes

I can only have a crush for one single person at a time.

I can love more than one, but not many, as in love between man and woman.

I can love endless for kin and friends.

I would suppress my love for any other woman than the one I live with / entertain relationship with for natural reasons; love for your partner takes nurturing and care to keep fresh and strong.

Something like that. hug

I think I get where you are coming from.

I am a totally faithful person, yet I can love many people, but if I am with a man that I want to be with then I will be only with him.

If it is the right man, then I will not want to be with anyone else and I will devote my love and time to him.

Not about whether we can or cannot, it is about whether we want to.

My thoughts anyway.

That was the word I was looking for - Devotion!

And that is what makes it hard to have a relation with more than one person.

I am with you.

You know, I think you are fabulous.

But sometimes, women are simply women and they rely on their man to make decisions for them.

In the example you use above, restaurants.

Instead of asking her where she would like to go, just go ahead and make the reservation, do not give her a choice.

'Darling, I really fancied taking you out for dinner this evening, so I have booked a table for us at 7.30pm at (insert name of your fave restaurant here)

We are simple creatures too. We like solutions, we make enough decisions throughout the day, children, jobs, make it easier for us, and yourself and you might just find a little peace.


'Darling, I'm taking you out......... get your glad rags on - I'm treating you to a Big Mac Meal........ with extra large fries and a huge fizzy coke - no expense spared!' smitten

I agree with everything you say, what a wonderful post.

However, whilst I am a one man woman, I do feel for many people and I love them, but the true grounded love is saved for the man I give everything, my heart, soul and body and that is only for one man.

Perfect, what time darling, I am painting my face as I type.

You see, it is that easy, however, I would prefer Burger King.

Yes, but........

What if a man takes a lady to a restaurant of his choice (she knows where they are going).

She obviously relishes his company, listening with rapt attention as he describes his 40 years of model train making etc....licking her lips sensuously every time he mentions the words 'steam engine' - well...

She picks at her food all night.

The man, exhausted after describing model train signals and different sized model tracks for two hours notices she's hardly eaten anything.

She confesses she doesn't really like Japanese/Indian/Chinese/Italian/Orthodox Greek food/Big Mac Meals

Should the man be upset that she didn't enjoy her meal, or just whisk her home to see how fantastic his steam engine really is?

If she wants to be with you then she will be happy with that. But here is something else you can try, 'Darling, I want to spend some time with you this evening, is there anywhere in particualr you fancy, or should I make the choice for us?'

In response to:

Unless she is a trainspotter, avoid those conversations at all costs.

In response to:

Ask her if she is ok.

You work it out, you sound like a smart man.

Lord! You mean to say that not all women love model trains?

crying

I'm totally shocked!

What DO you women like talking about then?

confused

You mean that all these years that I've spent talking to lovely ladies about my wonderful train set they've been feigning interest?

How dare they pretend to be interested, when all they want is to be alone with me, all cuddled up and 'doing the locomotion'!

Dang........ women are just so devious!
