On my way home from work, i heard an old song on NPR. i wasn't really following the song, but one line caught my attention -- "I fall in love too soon." It actually got me thinking back to the last time i was in love, and it's been so long, i've forgotten what it's like.

 

[demi]

Sorta like bloated gas.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

feels like you cant get it out of your head or heart...no matter how much you try with slut gf's and pr0n. You will know again..when your sloshed.

 

[Eminem]

yeah, you basically can't stop thinking about them. you always think of how your current interest can't compare to them.


...i mean, it's so fucking cliched, but you just know.

 

[Mugen]

I can't eat, concentrate and stares at space a lot.

Well aside from all the stuff where you go crazy for them, you know, all those feelings you get when you look into their eyes... I would say it's a deep, committed care. Like you love them for everything, not only their strengths but their weaknesses too. You want the best for them so much you give of yourself to unhealthy extents to make sure they get it, even if it means the two of you don't end up together (though you would like that a lot). And it can be dangerous because it seems to be unwavering, it's just like that until you part ways pretty much. At least that's how it is for me, I don't know how much of that is related to my personality type.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I'm just astounded somone listens to NPR.


(i keed)


Its a combination of infatuation, hormones, neediness, comfort, nostalgia and logic (very little logic by the way).


Love is great ... because it can be you, parked on the side of a road, looking at her house and wondering why she doesn't pick up the phone ... or it can be you, lying to her because you don't want to hurt her.

I still don't think you fall in love until you have kids ... I would imagine the love for a child is greater than any love for a spouse or long term relationship.

hey HEY HEY

Don't bring that into this discussion!

Depends on the kind of love. If your talking about love between a man and a woman:

A lot of confusion and frustration.

 

[SD-Ness]

Craziness.

 

[demon]

To me, feels kinda like a left hand sqeezin my dick.

^^ Indeed.

I find it funny that the level of seratonin in people who're in love is comparable to those with obsessive compulsive disorder

i didn't think i was looking for a specific answer, but this pretty much nails it for me. The initial infatuation stage is misleading, especially if you easily fall in love or have long bouts where you don't have serious relationships, like me. After rereading your post, i realize just how much i miss that. ;(

[Triumph]

A funny feeling in my gut/genitals. A warm and broken hallelujah works too, though!

I've seen the future, baby, it is murder. =0

 

[Claus]

Like I got mud butt.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

well... it's kind of like...

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Lose 5 kg an ended weighting 60 kg...I could do a lot of other things but I got somehow obsessed about her, about what she thought about me, abouth what she was doing, about what should I say.
Everything for nothing.

 

[Mercury Fred]

"Temptation" by New Order, pretty much.

 

[Lakitu]

Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world, you can barely eat because all you want to do is be with them. In fact I haven't been able to play any games lately because of the feeling!

 

[DSN2K]

wouldnt know, never been in love before.. well I dont think so anyway ???

 

[bjork]

I agree with what Dice said.

You'll go to extremes for this person, knowing that it could somehow all end up being turned around and used on you, but they're worth it, so you'll endure whatever it takes to make sure they're happy... and if they're happy, that in turn makes you happy, and it's all good.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Love feels sort of like getting an erection. Or is that just my erection that I'm feeling?

 

[bjork]

Love feels sort of like getting an erection. Or is that just my erection that I'm feeling?

Or do you love having an erection?

I suppose any of these statements work.

 

[J2 Cool]

Love feels sort of like getting an erection. Or is that just my erection that I'm feeling?

No, it's true. That's how I knew I fell in love. We had our first goodnight kiss and hugged and I poked her with my erection romantically and went skipping on clouds all the way home. I mean, sure, it was a little akward but its love. You can't explain it.

 

[speedpop]

I define love is the moment I wake up beside my partner and not feel oblidged to smile or say good morning or hug them just because it's the nice thing to do. Love is something that is not very easy to define and words cannot express that certain moment you get.

It's the same moment where you see your favourite piece of artwork, or a certain stroke in calligraphy, or the way you just smacked that ball or made a certain move, or you hear a song and feel like weeping because as hard or loud or soft it may sound it's too beautiful to comprehend.

 

[Crag Dweller]

When I met my now ex-wife, I just knew it. I remember seeing a commercial a few years back of this guy getting on an elevator and seeing a girl and then his whole life with her flashed before his eyes. Thats exactly what happened to me.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I'm just astounded somone listens to NPR.

Most people around here listen to NPR.

Sorta like airliners thru skyscrapers. I've been thru many many women and I still get my ex out of my head... AM CRY!

yup that's pretty much it...

In his life time a man will make a fool out of himself over a woman.


I have done a lot of shit for women out of love, basically its hard not to do anything for them, a girl you love being just there makes you wanna take over the world every day.

 

[Rei_Toei]

Does anyone remember Joel (Carrey) in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind talking to himself in the train, Why do I fall in love with every woman I see that shows me the least bit of attention? That would be me, after I broke up with my first girlfriend. I'm afraid this is gonna sound hopelessly corny, but that feeling (first love) was new for me. Getting up early, watch the sun rise, being totally astounded that not everyone is madly in love with her, etc. etc. After we broke up and a couple of months of feeling depressed, I just wanted that feeling back, but the 'they girl gives me attention, she must like me!' sucks. After I realized that, things became better .

 

[gofreak]

Dice and Bjork have come close.

It's a real double-edged sword though. If your love is requited, it's the best feeling in the world. If not, it's the worst.

 

[tetsuoxb]

love feels like a lighter wallet.

 

[Doth Togo]

love feels like a lighter wallet.

:lol

Love is knowing you and your SO feel the same way about each other. Sacrifice, devotion, faith, trust, communication all surround it. Strong and long lasting love doesn't come around often, but when it does, treat it right and you're a blessed person.
