Love!!

[LanguageOfLove]

So many threads about sex, sucking, kissing, hot tubbing and would you this or that.

What about love? Anyone here find an interest in that? I've been here a LONG time and spent most of it avoiding such a thing as though it were taboo. Though, maybe love is what it's really about. Love doesn't have to mean falling in love and getting married. It can mean loving a friend dearly. It can mean loving someone as an amazing person. It must always be about respecting someone. Who do you respect? Who do you love? Do you love someone, not necessarily the random poster above you, but is there someone here that you have a connection with, someone you feel deeply for, someone you care with your heart for? Are you open to that? I think it may be telling for the ones who do and don't post here.

I don't even know if this will just be another one of my threads that just falls by the wayside, but for once, I thought I'd inquire about something more.

Did someone call me? Oh Who do you love.....

I do have certain people in my life I love and trust on a deep level. There are many levels of love, love for life, love of a friendship and love for your significant other.

I have a handful of friends that I love on that level of trust, that I know will be there in good times and bad, and that is a very comforting feeling. I also have a husband that I trust and love very much. I know that we have been through so much together, but love is what has brought us closer again after all these years.

I also know that i have to love life, and appreciate all that it has to offer, that is another aspect of love.

For me, love is very powerful and must not be taken for granted. You have to protect it, take care of it so that it will be there for you...don't take those things for granted. Let them know you love them as well.

Just my thoughts

What a great idea for a thread!

I don't use the word love easily in real life as far as my own relationships go, because it carries so much weight that to use it without meaning can cause so much pain.

There are people here, wonderful friends and I think they know who they are, that I love. I don't worry about telling my friends that I love them, because I know that it's true for me. Someone new that you're seeing, with the possibility of living your lives together - that's a different matter entirely. I don't want to confuse loving to be with them to being in love with them. I used to repeat it if she said it to me, and now, if I don't feel it and it's said to me, I feel shitty that I don't feel it, and the relationship begins to decline.

I'm beginning to realize that continuing to see someone you don't love is a heartache for everybody (including me), just waiting to happen. The hard part for me is not knowing if love can develop, or should you know in a few months if it's even possible. I just don't know.

Maybe, after all these years and all these relationships and one failed marriage, I am now so guarded, so apprehensive that the other person may not feel the same, that I'm reticent to lead with the words 'I love you', and usually unsure how to respond if they're said to me.

Very well said. It is true that we should be open to sharing with those we love. They may not know.

I do believe I have found a connection here, but not in a romantic way, but more of a friendship or chat buddy. I do look forward to the daily checkins and I love that I have someone like that. It feels like a pen pal. There are times when I have deep conversations with others, and I love those as well, or when a conversation is just so full of laughs that I can't stop laughing it hurts so much. So there are many conversations that I have loved to have and meant a lot.

There are some Litsters I love as friends. One I love even deeper.

There's a bunch that I have a spot in my heart for because I care about them and I want them happy.

Love to me is when a guy goes down on me when I have my period.

Thoughts, Ricky?

 

[Misshotndeep]

I think a lot of ppl have forgotten there is a diffrence between loving someone and being "in love" with someone. Then there are those who are in love with love and the actual person involved is more a place holder. So many variations.

Its better to be in love with someone, than to be in love with the idea of being in love.

Anyone feeling in love lately? Just can't let this thread die..

OMG you are so right!! This has been one heck of a week!

Everybody wants love, to be sure. I'm not in a 'love' romance at the moment, but I never lose sight of how much I love my family and my friends, two of whom I'm still in close continuous contact since the sixth grade. Love is love, whether it's sexual/pair bonding based or not. When I don't have a "love of my life", I really appreciate the ability to immerse myself in the love of family and friends.

Still, that shit isn't gonna get you laid

 

[LanguageOfLove]

I still say you can be in love with someone and you can be in love with life. To have both is spectacular.

I am not in love with anyone and yet I still love deeply. Romantic love is not all there is to be had. Sure it is nice to have a hand to hold and arms to snuggle but lets not negate the virtues of non sexual love folks. Mostly cuz I am single and that thought hurts. lol

The Greeks identified 6 variations of love, to include brotherly and sibling love, the love between a master and vassal, etc...

I truly love my friends, but currently love no significant other.

I agree, I think to be able to look out and have such gratitude for everything we have is a type of love as well.

I have recently discovered love again in my life, after so many years. Its a nice feeling to have..

Plus you can love your bff's sometimes that's just as important.

I somehow missed this.

I like this point. This makes me think of the darker side of love. There are some who lie to get what they want, fulfill his or her agenda. There are some who are careless or reckless with love. Then, some are guarded. Which are you? It can pertain to friends you love with all your heart or a romance interest. Do you jump in with both feet and hope for the best. Are you willing and trusting? Are you reserved, and it takes you time to truly let someone in?

 

[Farawyn]

I somehow missed this.

To answer LOL...yes, I am in love today.

I can honestly say I met someone here and fell deeply in love with her. It wasn't something I expected to do. Just hearing her voice would put a smile on my face. She lit up my darkest days. Unfortunately she is now gone from my life but her memory lives on. I would welcome her back into my life in a heartbeat. She was amazing.

Since you just joined, I'm sure you'll be making a lot of new friends and you won't have any dark days anymore...

I hope that you do find somebody to love again.

Love
I probably have got the wrong end of the stick here in my understanding of this thread, but since the person, this is aimed at will never see it what does it matter. ?

I love my life I have crossed many bridges and jumped through many hoops of fire to get here. I'm not lost so I don't need finding, I'm not in danger so I don't need rescuing, I'm not stranded so I don't need saving.

But I do and can love as fiercely and passionately as any Yorkshire lass. For my part, you were my friend and remain so.I have not now nor will I ever judge you Even though you have closed every means of communication to me. I can neither wish you a "Happy Birthday nor a Merry Christmas" You gave your reasons and that's fine. Life has many twists and turns and the fates can be cruel.

I would just like to say that in the year (November to October) we have known each other the footsteps you have made in my life will always be worn like the jewels in my crown, and I will always count my self blessed that you were in my life.

Holding you was like holding the worlds most flawless and rarest diamond, knowing that I could work every day my whole life and still never afford such a gem. Knowing too that I would also have to hand this precious jewel back. But for those few extraordinary moments, it was mine.

What about reaching out to her?...she may also love the message...
