love

Eh... crushes yes. True love? Still young for that.

I do have a girl whom I frequently talk to and we do go for coffee together, but I wouldn't classify that under "true love".
At least not yet.
 
Not unconditionally. I'd drop her if she cannot help but stupid - of course that's never going to happen.
 
I've only been in one relationship. It started great, after a year of me pestering and waiting, she finally said yes. We were together for about a year, and then I came to move away from England to Germany, and she to Wales. I split with her, and when she asked to try long-distance, I thought 'Why not?'. Bad move. Things didn't end too well last Christmas. Now I just get annoyed every time I see her picture somewhere, or her comment on Facebook. I'm too young to have felt 'true love'. I think everyone put off love from a bad experience needs to not let that experience stop you from letting someone else in, as they might be the one, and you could miss out on something great simply because some nutcase didn't treat you as well as they could have.
 
It's a fickle thing, but it can be a wonderful experience. Love isn't something that you should be looking for - it will come to you. That's what happened to me, and I couldn't be happier. Just go with the flow and everything will work your way, friend.

I think this is a valid perspective, but I don't it's the only valid one. There's nothing wrong with actively seeking a lifelong relationship so long as it isn't overly forced. That is, actively seeking someone doesn't necessary mean it won't be an organic and laid back process.
 
To answer my own question I have to say no.

I always hear people say when you love someone you always will deep down. The strongest feelings I ever had for someone have been completely dead for a long time now and will never resurrect. So idk. Sometimes I try to remember what it was like to really like someone and I literally cannot recreate the feeling. The feeling died so instantly it makes me wonder if it is worth it. I don't mean that in a depressing way, I literally just wonder.
 
Love is just an unhealthy obsession caused by a series of chemical reactions which I never want to experience again.

I don't blame you. I never want to give someone that power over me again.
 
Yes. We dated for a year, I loved her, and we had to break up because she moved, it was painful. That year contains some of the most memorable days/times of my life to date, and every time I look back on my time with her, I can't help but smile. However, since then I haven't felt the same with anyone else, and it makes being lonely and single that much worse, knowing how amazing it feels to have someone that truly cares about you.
 
I don't think I have because I can't think of any one girl I've been involved with that I still have any kind of feeling for. I get over breakups in like hours too. So I don't think I can say I've really been in love- I've been utterly infatuated, but the feeling of love for a girl has never truly stuck around, so that's why I can truly say I haven't been in love.
 
Yeah. I never though I'd ever fall in love with anyone. Thought it was impossible. Took me over 8 years to finally notice I was falling for my current boyfriend. Pretty easy to notice when it becomes hard to look him in the eye. :pink_blush:
 
Nope. Too young, but I like the concept of true love. Although, platonically, I hold a pretty deep love for my closest friends. I don't know if you'd say its true love, and if it isn't, it's pretty damn close. We're honest with each other, open, and limitlessly caring for each other. They're here for me, and I'm here for them. So no, not romantic love, but I think I've come close to a true friendship love.
 
I fell in love once, but it was just one-sided. As the truth hit me I became an even quieter and more self-reflectiong person than before and until I find something that let's me love myself, I won't be looking for someone else I could fall in love with.

I'm afraid, if I don't do it this way, even when finding someone whom I love and who loves me, it wouldn't end well.
 
Most certainly, but not the type of love that has people saying it's the best thing in the world, it'll go on forever, etc. My romantic feelings were more like 'Well this is sweet, I do hope I don't have to go without this anytime soon.' I tend to see other statements as exaggerations from excitable people, in love with love. But, I'm not ruling out my chances of ever feeling such an all-encompassing kind of love for another person. I'm simply too grounded for the meanwhile.
