What's it like to fall in love??

June 14, 2009 2:45pm CST
Ok this is for those of you who have fallen in love with someone.... I've never had this experience. I've only been in one serious relationship in my life and well that started off more as a lustful relationship than a love one which probably is the reason why it didn't last.. I mean I did love the person but never felt the "in love" part so I want to know what that is about?? What are the symptoms to look out for when one is in love? I would like to experience this but I'm in a point in my life where its very far from happening and well I don't really pay much attention to it...but when the day comes I'd like to be prepared and know what to expect... so please share your experiences and thoughts on this with me.. just wanting a lesson.. cheers

Love.....as the song says Love Hurts....yes it does. When you first fall in love its the BEST thing in the world. You see the person and you get sick to your stomach with excitement and hapiness. You have to be next to that person 24/7. Its all Happy Happy Happy. And SO Romantic and everytime it happens you swear to yourself that you have never been so in love before and so happy. But its really the same as the last time, at least you'll figure that out once the relationship goes on and you SNAP OUT OF IT !! LOL yes. Love is great and its a wonderful feeling to have but unfortunately the getting over is what sucks big time. I swear sometimes I think it takes longer to get over someone than the time you actually had with that person. I have had two realtionships that lasted only 6 months but took me over a year to get over. So if youve never felt it you may be THE LUCKY ONE!

Hey, I've not been in many relationships, but I know that feeling what are you asking about. It's hard to describe it. Your head is full of thoughts, but these thoughts only lead to person you love. In the evening it's hard to fall asleep because these thoughts won't let you do it. You want to see the one you love all the time near you and it's quite painful when he/she isn't there. When you've fallen in love, you are mainly in good mood, you have more energy, more will to work and so on. I repeat that it is hard to describe the feeling, but it's definitely best feeling you can ever feel.

When you first fall in love it is all about the feeling of butterflies in your stomach, your knees go weak you think of the person all the time, start planning a future in your mind with them. The fact is that when you find this person that you fall in love the love keeps on growing, that love goes from the weak knees to the tears of both sorrow and joy, love turns into all emotions as time goes on. You feel their pain, their happiness, their sorrow, this is really what love is all about everything wrapped into one and accepting them unconditionally

Good day... It's the best feeling ever. My first love was incredible though she was not the one I married. I mean at that time I wish it was to be her but things have a way of falling apart. Being in love should always be better as time goes by. Yes, first I got attracted to her beauty and fallen more for her personality. My day can only be complete when I at least spoke to her on the phone and converse about the things that transpire that day. Love hearing her voice., her voice relaxes me and at the end of the day I felt happy just before I go to bed. Being in love is a myriad of feelings both physical and emotional and it differs from person to person but one thing is common., A person who is truly in love is always happy with the person they're in love with no matter what the situation or circumstances maybe.

Im 19. But since im too busy making my life more interesting and busy earning money..hahaha! Its been a 2 years since i last fell in love. Well, now my priority is my studies and earning on net. Im still young and no reasons for me to rush in love. Well, sometimes some of my friends says i sounds weird. Because even though some of guys are interested with me i always end up ignorning and just be a friend. Anyway, what i remember when i was in love with this guy. All i want is to see him. And im happy. Even though its just a simple word that he says. It keeps running in my mind. Even single hi or hello. It makes me happy. BUt it doesnt mean i want to be in a relationship with him. Im just happy for us being like that.."We are not lovers but we are close"

My first feelings upon falling in love was not being able to get enough of the person. No matter how much we talked I wanted more hours for conversation. I couldn't tear my sight away from her eyes, the shade constantly changing with her mood or the environment. I wanted to memorize every detail of her. As our relationship grew I wanted to help her grow and learn. I look forward to all of her achievements as they bless me with glowing pride and happiness for her. Loving someone consumes you.

Incredible. Falling in love is, literally, the greatest feeling in the world. When I first fell in love I was on cloud 9, I was in heaven. The crush part of the relationship is always the best part of it.

Love is the hardest thing in the world to define. For me it was when I first saw my boyfriend. I don't know how to explain it. It's just like a look that he gives me or just the way he kisses me....it's strange. Like I've seen other hot guys around (I live in FL near the beach so there's a lot of half naked guys :-p lol) but I never even look twice, I only have eyes for my boyfriend. I've been in a few other relationships but nothing was as strong as this is.

haha!! love? i really don't know the deep meaning of love.. but.. i think.. i really experienced it.. my first love... of course it started with infatuation.. but as time passed by, i noticed that my eagerness for her fell down.. it seems like i like her..but i was not really excited anymore than before.. and i care for her automatically..unlike before..i always think to care for her.. but that's unnatural..right? so.. i think.. when you fall in love.. things go NATURAL... yeah.. that's what love means to me.. =)

You are in love when you are happy even if you don't with her, even if you don't have money, even if she is ugly, even if others say that she is not deserving to have you and yet you love her. that's love all about.

Love is a good feeling. It is a smile in the heart. It should not make you suffer. Perhaps, in your case,you started on the wrong foot. You were in love with concept of being in love. You were not in love with the person. It should give you that exhilarating feeling. There is a smile on your lips when you go to sleep and as soon as you wake up. It feels like you can face any storm because you feel good about yourself. Better yet, don't look for it, it will just come along.
