How many times have you fallen in love in life? Or been in love in life? After you did the first time, was it hard to fall again? Do you think there is a limit to truly falling in love or do you think people can do it infinitely? Why is it that some do more often than others? Thoughts?

I have been in love a many times but falling in love, just once. Falling in love is not an easy thing to do. To me there has to a very deep connection to fall in love. Truth has it, I am still in love with this person.

Even after you've been in love with others?

To me there is a big difference from being in love and falling in love. Guess no one else has sparked me like he did. But one never knows what the future may bring.

I have been in true love twice in my life. After the first time, I did find it difficult to love once again. I don't think there is a limit as to how many times a person can love. The heart is bigger then one might think and depending on the person, it can actually be several times and or once. Grandma was so in love with her husband that she mourned him for almost 39 years. She never fell in love and or entertained the thought of being with someone else. Therefore, yes some can fall in love indefinitely, or at least my Grandma did. I am not sure why some do it more then others as some my just have big hearts and or willing to try again and again. Some actually like the thought of having a companion at all times and tend to fall in love easier then others.

Very true. And sweet story. I agree that there probably isn't a limit but it's not so easy.. but that also depends on the person too. Thanks for shairng.

I've only ever been in love once. I don't think there's some magical number that you "have" to have "this" many relationships to be mature or you can't have more than "this" many or else you're some shallow tramp.

I was fall in love twice but I really felt much love to the second one. No it was not really hard for me to fall in love again. It really depends on you how you deal with it. Yes it is really a fact for me that we can fall in love infinitely.

good day. .falling in love is a case to case basis . .its does not depend on how many times you fall in love . .you cant control yourself if your inlove with that person because u find that person interesting or there's something with that person that's why you fall in love . . God bless. . .:)

in my own opinion.. i think we are to fall inlove limited only,,it is until we find the one who is right for us..otherwise if you fall inlove more often it only means that u didn't find the one that you're looking for..it's a matter of time..

I think I've really been in love maybe twice, once for sure - I didn't lose my head tho, and when I realized he had a commitment problem I gave up on the idea of making our lives together. I still like him a lot, if he got serious I think he could win me really easy, but right now we are "just friends".

Whenever I've been in a relationship, I've always thought that I had been in love with that person but, looking back at it now, I doubt that I ever was with any of them apart from with the person who I am with now. I often have to stop and wonder whether I will meet someone in the future who will make my feelings for the person who I'm with now feel like nothing, and that's a scary thought because when I was with the other people in the past I did actually think similar things then and I was proved to be right on all of those occasions.

I have been actually in love only once and i still am. I was not that "falling in love" type until i met my recent boyfriend i guess.

I fall in love and broke my heart with that first person that shows me love. Now for the second time someone taught me how to love again. I wish this time its forever and would last a lifetime. I don't want to be hurt again..it's painful and it cuts deeply. I am praying and hoping that this time it's for real

I would say that I have been truly in love on two occassions. After I fell in love the first time, it was a little difficult to fall in love again. But I think that it comes down to circumstance. If you are in love and your partner cheats on you, it is harder to get closure; and thereby more difficult to move on. If, however, you have made the conscious choice to move on, then giving your heart to another is significantly more bearable.

Thanks for sharing. I guess the circumstance also depends on the person as well.

The true answer is once. But let me explain what I mean by that. I fell in love years ago with a girl that was going out with a family member. I never interfered in there relationship, because thats the way I am. I did find out at some point that she liked me, but I never crossed a line with her out of respect. We used to hang out a lot but that was it. Then I met another girl. Now the first girl, wound up breaking up with that family member and left the neighborhood. Now, I was with this other girl that I started to fall for. Long story short, we got married and that ended years later. I wound up, after my marriage, bumping into the girl that I first fell in love with, and we started to hang out, I found out at that point that she really loved my years ago also. Now we are together and happy. So, when I said once, even though I fell in love twice, I guess I never forgot the first one.

It depends on the person if he will continue or stop falling in love. I think it's a case to case basis issues.

I think twice and the second was deeper. It's to fall in love again that's true. There is a limit in falling in love I think and for me I can't do it infinitely. Other people may fall in love easily but I don't think it's really love or it's really falling in love. It's not easy to fall in love and you can't force yourself to fall in love.

I beleive I have been inlove about five times in my life. When I was younger I had men come to me so I think I was more apt to be courted and then fell inlove. Where I may have waited longer in between loves if this hadn't happened this way. I think there is no limit to the love a person can feel. There are many kinds of love and it is boundless.

I think That I didn't know what was love until now. I thought that I was in love 15 years ago but now that I am feeling pure and clean love I understand what is to be in love. Love is valorate the person which one you are. Love is care about him/her. Love is being sad when she or he is sad. And none of that I experienced before when I thought that I was in love. Now I feel a real and special love so I have have fall in love only one time. And think love can indefinitely.

I've never been in love I always think I am when I meet someone but I guess I'm not and it's just something temporary.
