Just indulging the naturally curious side of myself... Question: have you been or are you in love with someone? And I don´t mean just a crush (for I have heard that most people have a lot of those kind of experiences), or the like, I´m talking about the kind of love that songs and poems are written of, the kind where you are willing to give your life and soul for that person (or thing: you never know); you get the idea.

Yes. I have had that kind of love, in fact I became a writer because of someone whom I loved and that love became an inspiration. I now have two book out, the latest one being a collection of short stories (about different kinds of love) and poetry inspired by that person. I will always love him. He didn't however love me back. http://totouchaheart.blogspot.com

I have been in love with at least one person before, and I'm in love at the moment. The first was mad, passionate love where your entire happiness depends on that person, but now, it's more sensible. We'd do almost anything for each other, but we're realistic about it as well.

Yes I love my GF very much, we've been together for 5+ years. Of course after that long it's not all hot passion all the time, but of course I love her very much otherwise I wouldn't be living with her :-)

Of course I married him. He really does make my heart go crazy. I miss him so much and can't wait for him to come home already.

Twice. The first already had a boyfriend...so really I was just asking to get disappointed. The second is my best friend in college and we hang out nearly every single day this past year. I knew earlier on that she didn't feel the same way about me, but still I persevered, thinking that overtime that would change. I've learnt that it's really not worth it to offer your heart and soul to someone who just simply isn't interested in the first place, no matter how well you get along or how similar you both are. Too painful, but sometimes I can't help myself.

I'm actually not sure. I used to think I was in love with my ex, but since I hated his guts for three of the four years we were together, I don't think so. I'm very happy with my boyfriend and I love being with him, but I'm not sure if it's "love". I think I'm too afraid of getting hurt/screwed over again, so I'm kinda holding back and not falling completely for him. Some days I just wanna forget everything else, move in with him, and make my whole life revolve around him. But it's not realistic, I still have to think about the future career-wise and financially, and doing all those things would be foolish. But days when I see him are so much better and there's no one that makes me happier. So I can definitely say that I love him, but I'm not sure if I'm "in love" with him.
