Do you think that you can be in love with one person and then fall in love with another person because they have qualities you love that the other person doesnt have, therefore loving them both equally but for their different qualities?

This is a tough one to answer, as no might be the logical answer, but as I'm sure many have found out, love can be anything but logical. There are times where people are going to be conflicted by two different parties. Now granted, they might not be in love completely, in fact, they are just trying to figure out what their relationship is with these people. These love triangles for lack of a better term never end well. Often times, if you're not committed in one direction, chances are now might not be the time for a relationship. There are going to be a lot of mixed signals and people are going to be completely unsure of what truly is going on and this love for two people is just your brain sending confusing signals that are not logical.

I don't see why not - you can be in love with so many different people at the same time - do you mean 'romantically' in love with two people at the same time? When I say you can love several people at the same time, it's because you have parental love, love for your friends, family etc. From a romantic point of view, I guess it is also possible, particularly if you are single and not 'officially' committed to anyone and are lucky enough to have a choice. Even when you are in a committed relationship, people still fall in love with others, it just depends whether they control their emotions and also whether they act upon them...

There are many different types of love. I think that a person can be inlove with two people at the same time. Sometimes one may be more of a chemical attraction and that has to be thought out. Loving them equally for their different qualities to be sure. But one you maybe committed to.

i think that is possible. I have loved two people at once, but what one was providing the other could not. Well, I am not so sure if it is love or something else.

Well I would this is my personal opinion and I strongly say a BIG NO. This is because no one is perfect. Every single person has his positives and negatives and your girl/ guy is never going to be the perfect masterpiece you have always craved.. There will be certain flaws, but that is the essence of life.. You accept the person for what he/she is and be happy for their good qualities..SO I think one has to make a choice which person is more dearer and decide on one. Otherwise it s like cheating both of them
