Do you believe?

What a lucky couple of people...

 

Nope, love at first sight is impossible.

Sorry.

 

When I was younger, I never believed in falling in love, in general. I guess that's the results of being raised by a man-hating, feminist mother. I just kinda thought the whole notion was pretty fake. But, then I fell in love. And, again, and again. I have experienced what I feel is love at first sight, so I guess it would be pretty hypocritical for me to say it doesn't exist.

I was driving down the road with my mother and my best friend. We drove past this man walking. He had long, dark hair, he was over 6-feet tall and had a long, black trenchcoat billowing behind him as he walked. Oh, was he a sight to behold! I looked at my best friend and pointed to the man outside. "Sharon, he will be mine. Oh yes, he will be mine." Two weeks later, we met. We stayed together for three years and we were so in love.

 

yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.

 

Yes. What most are taking into thought is just that first sight is just that, sight. Now, I don't believe in love at first glance or anything like that, but my boyfriend of almost a year had seen me visiting the house he shared with some friends, but never really gave me much of a look until our paths crossed at a small party one of our mutual friends had thrown. He said that night for some reason he couldn't stop staring at me and when he looked into my eyes and just felt the vibes I gave off, it was over and he was in love. A little cheesy, maybe, a little exaggerated, probably. I didn't fall in love with him until we had spent a little time together, but I believe him.

My best friend and her ex-boyfriend met a few years ago when she moved to town and they scheduled some guitar lessons (he played, she wanted to learn). The first lesson, he went over to her house and when she opened the door, it was like a fairytale. His first words to her were, "You're the most amazing girl I've ever met." They were madly in love and stayed together for 2 years. They're still madly in love with each other, but life's taken them down two seperate paths.

I believe it is completely fathomable (is that even a word? haha). People give off vibes...love at first sight isn't just based on looks and physical attraction. But love has to be nurtured past that or it will wilt away.

 

Lol... thats what I was trying to say, but it didnt come out right...

 

That is sad.... Love is life! I love life and without love, life wouldn't be worth living!

 

Love makes the world a better place.

 

You know what? You got me right there...

 

Thanks for covering my ass, babe.

 

Love Rocks *as I throw flowers and glitter in the air*

 

*nods* So true.


Love can also become an unhealthy obsession, especially when the object of affection doesnt even notice you exist, or doesnt care if you have feelings for them ....... its almost enough to drive one crazy, or make ya just wanna ... well, yeah... die. (yeah, Ive been obsessed before, stupid me... never again...)

I do believe in love, but I dont pretend to understand it anymore. Anytime I've ever came close, or even the times Ive been loved in return, I just found myself aching. I've developed alot of negativity about the whole love thing... and well, the way I figure it, I'll gladly be proven wrong, when and if "true love" actually happens to me.

 

So basically you're being a coward about it. I'm sorry to sound harsh, I don't intend to... But that's how it seems to me. I loved once, and got hurt myself. I think everyone does. But that doesn't mean love isn't worth it. It may cause harm in some cases, but that is due to the reasons other than love itself.

For example, society may make love out to be something evil at times. Traditions may discourage love between certain two parties, and those people may get hurt because they fell in love with each other. But that is NOT because of love itself, but PEOPLE.

Also, love DOES have the power to make this world a better place. If everyone loved and respected the other in this world, instead of hating what is different, peace can be achieved. But you can't achieve anything if you keep running away from love.

 

I don't believe it's horseshit AT ALL. Love IS pure, just like hate is. It is a pure emotion, and can have a very strong effect on people. It may make you feel great, but it can also hurt you. Love is not sugarcoated, and it's a VERY pure thing. I don't think that's horseshit.

No pain, no gain, my friend.

 

ITA , AT~

Im not currently "in love" but love has alot of dimensions. I just think if you choose to love at no matter what the cost your a stronger person rather then just "sticking to sex" That to me seems so cowardly.

 

sure..

 

I'm just talking about the ideal, dude. I know it's damned near impossible to achieve it, but that doesn't mean we can't work toward it. The more people who believe in it, the more likely the changes will be made in this world. I believe in that, though, I also know it's pretty hard to achieve.

 

mm, well I would like to believe sounds like a wonderful thing to believe in, but I've never seen it happen so.. no proof, no faith.

 

Actually, we're caught up in the INTENSE feeling we feel, and we call that "love". It's not just lust because sex may take the backseat at times. We don't focus on sex, but we still feel the certain strong emotion, longing for the other, longing for peace... Which, to me, is love.

Flies... Did you know that flies play a VERY important role on earth?

 

Yes, and I say you're a living example of that.
