How do you know if you're in love? Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time? Is it worth it if you know it's doomed in the end?

Discuss.


and don't mind the drunk girl in the corner.

It has been different every time...

I say yes. I honestly don't think I've ever stopped loving someone, even when they hurt me. And I DO mean more than platonic love. I feel that it is not a limited thing.

sorrowfully, yes. but I am not yet drunk enough to really expand on this.
 
Love is something you feel at first. Then it changes to not wanting to be without the object of your love. You can love more than one person at the same time, probably several people at the same time. If you think it's going to be bad in the end then I don't believe you're in love any longer.
 
It is not only possible to be 'in love' with more than one person at the same time, I would say for most people, its almost impossible not to be.

Being able to stand back and clearly see that one of those loves is doomed to failure or heartache, will in no way stop you loving them. It just makes it more painful. Story of my life.

Being sensible is possible at the same time as being in love. It just removes the magic.

Or adds to it, if you're adept enough. Hey, it's possible.
 
CAUTION: vella theory at hand

Love:
i believe you can 'love' many people at the same time. insert addendum here However, i believe that there are several levels of love.
if youre catholic, you could equate it to the seven levels of hell...
if not, think of it like a layer cake
the best layer is on the bottom, its the one that you feel with every fiber of your being and with every layer that goes on top of it, its just a different flavor...different texture.
Lucky is my base layer....my step father... erm... well, hes in there somewhere but i think hes more like a forgotten ingrediant.

sounds silly but truly i do believe you can love many at once but there can only be that one thorough love.
 
How do you know if you're in love?
It's only ever happened to me once and maybe it wouldn't be the same the second time round, but it's like you can't stop thinking about the other person. Whatever you're doing, you're wondering how it would be if they were there; wherever you are, you wish that they could be there too; and whatever you're saying, you wishing you could have them there to say it to. It's like the rest of the world (to a certain extent) can go to hell. You're willing to take crazy risks for that person, and suddenly obstacles such as money, distance and even the law melt away. It's like being high 24/7.



Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time?
Personally? No. I can love lots of different people, but I can only be in love with one. I've never been good at concentrating on a million different things at once, or playing games with different people at the same time. I'm either 100% theirs, or 100% not theirs.


Is it worth it if you know it's doomed in the end?
I used to say yes, but that's because I was a total idealist who believed that there was no such word as impossible. Now? I dunnow. I'm off women. I'm enjoying some quality Me Time, and I have vague plans of staying single, getting my own place and just having a little family of rescued dogs, cats and donkeys. They're a lot more straightforward than people.

the best layer is on the bottom

You would say that. :rolleyes:

PS: I need to make a collection of Vella theories and place them in a bound and gold leaf binder for future worlds looking for some of the best advice on the face of the planet.

Theyyy're great! :D

YANNOW...
thats made me all blushie and stuttering. thank you, gorgeous, for starting my day off with a smile. :kiss:
 
I don't think you can know what it's like to be in love until you're in it, that's also the moment that you know. It's like being cool, if you have to ask... One rule of thumb that sometimes works, if you're caught in an embarrassing situation (maybe for blokes (I mean manly men) crying in front of your girlfriend over Dr Greene's last letter to his wife, for girls maybe being in the throes of ecstacy with your favourite huge dildo when he/she walks in unexpectedly(after you've denied that you masturbate at all) if you find yourself comfortable at those times then that is a possible indicator.

Being in love with more than one person? Totally. When you're in it, you can't get out of it. Like dogs, they're not just for Christmas.

Love is always, always worth it. A relationship may be doomed but love is untarnishable, imperishable, immortal.
 
The feeling I have when I fall in love (it's happened to me too many times) is I've known you initmately in another life; we were in love with each other before we ever met, and this connection we have with each other is a reconnection.

That's my best shot at describing what being in love feels like to me.


I am in love with more than one person.

How does that work, being in love with more than one person? Do you feel less for one of them? Equally? How do you deal with it?

How do I deal with it? Simple. Vodka.

Lol. That's not very helpful info, Joe.

That's how I'm dealing with it, too. Only I'm on the other end of things, in love with someone who also loves someone else.

Vellas right about the different layers of love.

There is loving someone. We can love many people at once.

Then there is the seperate layer of being IN LOVE with THE ONE. That's the one you can't live without. Every fiber of your being wants to be with them, and them only.

The question now becomes, what layer of love are you talking about? If you're looking for the deeper layer, you'll know it in the pit of your stomach. If you're both in love and consider each other to be the one, you'll do what ever it takes to be with that person.

Vodka is optional

The sense of reconnection is terrifying, don't you think?
 
Not for me, not anymore; I have a lot of self-control nowadays. And I still look for it the whole time. I'm getting my wife a rolleyes smiley for our 20th wedding anniversary.
