It's Being in Love Wednesday, MKF (10/20)

[Saena]

I was going to save this topic for Valentine's Day, because it's so appropriately themed, but I thought it was such a cool topic and I was really interested to see what some of you had to say...



I know many people on this board have longtime girl/boyfriends and I wanted to know... how did you know you were in love? What does love feel like for you? Feel free to be as sentimental as you like.



I don't know what made me think of this a few weeks ago, but I did know that this would be a great place to get your feedback. So go wild!

Ok, so I am not in love and I don´t have a significant other, but nothing ever stopped me from replying to a topic I know nothing about. I was even going to try and take that lesbian test in the thursday daily thread, but the site was down. Anyway, it is not that I do not know what being in love feels like. Been there, done that, made me act like a total dork. I am happy I am currently in non love so I have time to fix my house.

Well, I'm still madly in love with the girl that after nearly a year together completely screwed me over. I don't know quite what happened. All I know is that everything was great, she was here, we were in love, and then she went back to Sweden and things got weird and I went over there to try and work out what the hell was wrong, she knew I was going, said she'd meet me at her school, and as I got there she was making out with a guy.



But to answer the actual question, I knew I was in love when I couldn't stop thinking about her, no matter how hard I tried, and I wanted to spend every second in her presence. She made me feel safe and loved and I felt like everything that had ever bothered me was nothing. The world paled into nothing when she was around and I know it sounds cliched, but I honestly couldn't see anyone but her when she was around. Everything I did was centred around me, and everything I wrote (I'm a screenwriter) seemed so much happier than it had before. Everytime we touched, I knew that I never wanted to be anywhere but with her, and I knew I'd do anything to keep her happy and safe, and even though sometimes I think I hate her for what she did to me, I know that I don't, and I think I may well love her for the rest of my life. Crazy, huh?



She's coming back to England in 2 weeks with lots of her friends to come visit everyone, because she came to school with me for 3 months, and a part of me ( a completely irrational part, who knows?) still thinks that we'll get back together, but even if we do, I don't know that I'll ever be able to trust her again. So maybe its not the best thing for me? I don't even know if it would be a good idea to see her. I want to so badly, but I don't know whether that will work out in any way. I think it may well end up breaking my heart even more. Thankfully, the guy isn't coming with her, but I haven't even spoken to her since I got back to England, after the 200 million arguments we had in Sweden. I only know she's coming back because my best friend is in her Drama class, and I don't know. What say you that I just stay in my house for 2 weeks?



Anyway, that went more than a little off topic. I guess I just can't stop ranting whenever I think about her. I only intended to answer the questions, and I don't even know whether I did that or not. Sorry

Hola Kittens!



This is a great topic for us, thanks for making it. I know that I am a little late for a Wednesday thread, it being a sunny Saturday morning here in Tejas... But my damn computer contracted a virus (or a cold) from playing with other computers and half of my hard-shift thingy is dead.



At least, that is what my girlfriend tried to explain to me. I know how to turn the computer on and type - that is all.



I knew I was in love when just a smile from her could make me weak at the knees and I was never safer than when she hugged me.



I knew I was in love when I could think of nothing but her, and I wanted to take care of her. I knew I was in love when I cried with her over silly things that made her sad.



I knew I was in love when I couldn't stop smiling if she touched my hand... I knew it was love when she loved me back.



When sparks flew when my lips touched hers. When shivers raced down my back and everypart of my mind was screaming AY!



That is love, how I know it. I'm a very lucky girl.

personally, all i have to say as to not bring morale down too much is that the 2 times ive been in love were both bad experiences. but hopefully in time i wont be so bitter about the subject anymore.

She's the most amazing girl in the whole world. She's the only girl who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. When I'm not with her, I'm not living. I'm not existing until I can hold her in my arms again.- hence i'm not here now

[Tempest Duer]

Love bites. I hate getting burned. I've been in love with the same girl for three years... I'm probably going to end up at the same college as her... and she still won't have anything to do with me. We were friends once. But now... *waxes poetic and acts sad*

I got bitten by a drunk lesbian! Does that mean I'll turn into one?

Woah late in adding to the thread but who cares?



Okay so my situation...I'm in love! Utterly in love. hehe

I still remember erlaising I was in love. It was amazing. I didn't think it would ever happen again, I'd been burned a lot in few teen years...seeing as I'm almost 17 I can't call myself adult, yet, But I remember sitting in bed after talking for hours to him and thinking...'wow'

And i could feel everything in my body going crazy and my tummy getting all jiggly. heehee. I sat there and thought 'I'm falling for him'.



At first I thought of love as something people use in different terms. People are fickle, others are long lasting, some don't care, others live off of it. I am the last one. Without it I wouldn't be able to function. I was so depressed when I wasn't in love. But anyway...now I see love as more then just a feeling. yeh its a feeling, its there making us feel all mushy. But love, real love, is morethen that, its something that keeps too people together no matter what, like a bond that can never be broken.

Thats what I feel when I think about Jay. He's there, even when he's miles away, and I can trust my life with him. I'm babbling...opps lol.



Witgh Valentine's only a few days away now, I've been thinking about this a whole lot. And its great. I've never been so in love, ever, and I don't think I ever will be.

Nice question.



I think love is as much about wanting to be with your partner as it is not wanting to be away from them. As kittens in long-distance relationships know, and I used to be one, sometimes you feel like you can't go on without her/him. And when you live together and still have that feeling, and even something like going to buy groceries has you pining, you know that it will last.



*Is pining while writing this*



Love makes you rational and irrational all at once, and makes the world look completely different. You think differently and make decisions differently and your brain turns to mush because you can't concentrate until you get your next kiss or hug.



*Runs off*



Cute thread!

Love.

How am I supposed to describe it in sensible words that make sense? Well, Im in love. The pure, true, forever, kinda love. Ok so it is a long distance relationship, but we dont care. Its not about the distance, its about us, and the time we spend together. You know, I thought I knew love in all its lovelyness. But that was shit compared to what I feel now. I truley believe, that my girlfriend, STACE is the one. I wake up thinking about her, and I go to sleep thinking about her. What we have...I cant express how I feel. I could, but this would be long. Love. This is it. This feeling. Its love in all its pureity. I love her. Only her. And everyone who hates love and doesnt want to be in love, well youre missing out. Really.

Uhm, baby can i just say ditto? no? gah...



Never in a million years would i have thought that love could feel this good, or at all feel like this period. My girl...up there...*points above* Is to me, love personified. She's all i'll ever need. Every innocent thing she says, makes me giggle and she never realises it. Every touch, every movement she makes, stops my heart at least 5 times every minute, i even have to remember to breathe. When you dont know whether you are coming or going when you're out and about, when every time you see a person's name in any context, and it brings a warm feeling to your chest? thats love. When you have the crappiest day ever, and your world is caving in slowly, just one, simple, smile...and you feel fine. Thats love. I define love, i know love, and i found love, through her. My rose. My everything.



My cheeks are burning up, must go blush. somewhere else...hehe

Ahh such a sweet thread! Well I've been with my gf Jess for almost 3yrs now, and she is definatly The One. I think you know when you're in love when all you can do is think about that one special person and how long it is until you can see them again. now I miss my gf. Hannah.

[ExtraFlameyWT]

Hmm...I don't know if there are enough words to explain what love is. Love is the way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not paying attention. Or how she knows when I'm feeling uncomfortable and automatically tries to help me. It's that we've been together for nearly 2 years, and my stomach still does flips when I hear her say "I love you"...or when I see her...It's when it seems like everything is going wrong, and you get a phonecall, and suddenly everything is wonderful. It's there, even when things get rough...it's in every action. Every word. It's writing poetry for her......okay, I've gone on long enough about this...I'm a hopeless romantic, I know. Sorry for making you all gag. *grin*



I love you, Michelle...
