Is that love possible to make work...ah, that's where there are gray zones, and extenuating circumstances.
If you're in a committed relationship and one partner cheats, there are no maybes or extenuating circumstances for that.
But if you both want a committed relationship, and one partner is terrified of getting hurt if they go there...ah, yes, there are extenuating circumstances.
druidess6308: Depends on exactly what you're asking, WR.
Are you in love? That's a yes or no.

windrider91: In love there are no maybes...no gray zones, no extenuating circumstances. You are or you are not...there's no inbetween.
I personally feel love is what it is. There are no grey areas. However I do think there are grey areas as to whether or not you are in love.
It's hard to explain, but I will attempt it.
I think the way we feel personally is where the grey area lies. We think we can look at ourselves and figure it out, when in reality, alot of us have a little self doubt in ourselves. I think it is that little bit of self doubt that confuses us as to whether we are actually in love, or in love with the idea of being in love.
Both can make us feel equally high as a kite. However, to me, when someone is in love with another, it's a feeling that can't be described by any word, thought or expression. It's a feeling where we find ourselves doing things for someone or saying things to someone that we've never done or said for anyone else.
Now the idea of being in love, I personally feel we find ourselves wanting to do these things, but not quite doing them and when we do, we do it on a consious level.
In essance, to me, the difference is, when you are in love, you do things more so on a more instinctual level where as when you are in love with the idea of being in love, we make a consious effort to impress.
So yes, I can see how it could be a grey area for some, but in my opinion, when you are actually in love with someone, you know it, you feel it, you act on it and when you're not, and just love the idea of it, you just think about it and calculate how to execute.
Not sure if it makes sense, as I said, I would make an effort for it too.

It made a lot of sense, Rich. OK...for my opinion, refer above. ^^^ (Btw, you do the same thing I do...spell grey the British way.)
windrider91: I hear hot mud is good to soak in and so is love.
Couldn't tell you about the hot mud...but I know love is sure good to soak in...basking in true love is sheer heaven. I've been blessed to know it a few times in my life.

True love...once....now...It is what convinced me there is no in between
