How Do You Know Your In Love?
 

Was asked by my Son...told him "You'll know it when it happens... you think of her 12 minutes out of every 10...half infatuation, half admiration and half titillation..."

"Wait, that's 3 halves! That doesn't add up!"

"Now you understand..."

ever been asked that question? ever wondered?

I gotta believe it is the only natural form of addiction there is.......

If you have it real bad, it makes you do crazy things.............

The trick is to recognize the difference between love (with whom I´d contemplate spending every day of my Life) and sexual attraction (whom I´d like to hump vigorously for the time being). When those two coincide you have hit the jackpot. Unfortunately I Believe that is probably a rare experience.

There's that connection. That thing... You know when you've got it.
You like spending time with her and you make time without a second thought. Even distance doesn't worry you.
And if you have to, you can wait but together you're both on the same wave length and you understand without effort. That's love.

You could be with a beautiful woman but after the fun is over you know you don't really want to stay. That's lust.

-------------------------

I don't believe in the concept of "the one". More likely there are many that are right for you.
It's just a matter of bumping into them at the right time.

As long as it isn't a soul-less Ginger like the most recent one in the chest thread......whoa !

Love - friendship, lust, trust, respect combined. It was a conversation with our daughter as a teen that my ex realized she was not in love with me, had not been for a long time, maybe not ever. She was explaining the difference between a good friend and someone you love in an intimate and romantic way. I was that friend. It's actually turned in to a great thing. I've had several years of alternating between great relationships and sowing some oats. A few months ago I met the person I'll spend the rest of my life with. She's beautiful to look at, more beautiful inside. She's a best friend, fantastic lover, funny, caring, gives more than she gets with everyone. Love for me is looking forward to each moment, the naked wrestling and shopping for dinner. Having someone to hold, trust, laugh with and want the best for.

I thought I was in love with my first wife....



After my divorce my outlook changed on what I wanted/needed in a mate.

I knew my wife was the one after our first date even though I said I wouldn't marry again.

I want to be with her into our golden years. We often joke about sitting in rocking chairs holding hands when we are old.

I don't think that helps much but the thread made me think of her. I'll text her a love note now. Corny? Sure, but if she's having a tough day it should make her smile.

I get stoopid....REALLY stoopid.

wood.

I tell people that you dont really know what love is until you hold your child for the first time.....then you get it

When she is not being wonderful or perfect...and you are still willing to put up with her crap anyways. Because being with her is still better than without.

When you find whom you would like to hump for the rest of your life?

I'm young & dumb compared to some of you, but I have to say you're in love when you know you would be willing to wake up every day next to that person. And barely tolerate the days where you can't.

My wife and I aren't in the mad passionate love that we were in when newlyweds, 26 years ago, but still find our moments together to be wonderful. We do things for each other out of respect, love and care, not because we have to. We also know that everyone has bad days and need some time and understanding.

Tell him to listen to some Van Halen and Ratt. They seem to know.;)

When this hits you in the chest like a hammer you've been there.

If she could easily sleep with all of your buddies but she doesn't, then you may be in love.

If she says she's fine with a bullet-proof pre-nup that says she leaves with what she showed up with then you may be in love.

If she's up before you are and makes you breakfast and it's not because she wants something, other than your caring and loving presence in her life, then you may be in love.

If she genuinely likes the things that you like, including long drives in your air-cooled 911 where no words are spoken for a half-hour or more, then you may be in love.

If you could easily sleep with other beautiful women but you don't, you may be in love.

And if she leaves you and you contemplate murder, then you were probably in love. (That one is a paraphrase of a Chris Rock bit on being in love.)

I don't disagree with this but spousal/partner love is different.


Aragorn--I was thinking the same thing on the RATT song. In fact, it's been my head all morning. SmileWavy

Lol

Two magic words have blessed me through 24 years of marriage to my best friend and buddy.
