    Love can come anywhere and any time whether you mean for it to or not. Usually when you don't mean it to.

    As for me, I fell in love with my exboyfriend's best friend.

    Have any of you accidentally fallen in love with someone that maybe you werent supposed to or totally never expected to?

    My best friend, lol. Well, I had a crush on someone else when she and I first became friends. She'd listen to me ramble on about my crush, but at one point I started to think less about my then-crush and more about my new friend...not really aware that she'd later become my best friend, lol. So I told her I was starting to like someone else at the same time, but I didn't say she was the second girl. I eventually told her when I got over my "crush", though. She turned me down then.

    Later on, I met this other girl and I felt myself becoming attracted to her everyday. This was the girl who would later become my true first love. But when I was crushing on her, my best friend started having some problems at home and we started hanging out pretty much everyday, and at one point she started living with me with her parents' consent. Nothing really happened with her and me, but we'd cuddle all the time. And it felt so right. But I was still trying to ask the other girl out, so I didn't pursue anything with my best friend.

    Then after I came out of that long-term relationship, I briefly developed a crush on someone else, but we just stayed friends and that was that. Then one day I couldn't stop thinking about my best friend, and I pretty much proposed to her, lol. She turned me down again of course, lol. But it's cool, we probably wouldn't have been too compatible with each other, anyway. And she and I are still best friends, so there's still love there. Just not really in the romantic sense any more..but that's ok. She got married to a great guy last year, which is awesome. :)

    Yes. I keep telling myself not to develop feelings for anyone, because nothing can ever come of it, other than heartache for me. But yes, I have fallen for someone knowing full well that doing so was a big mistake.

    I often wish that I had no feelings, or at least, that I was incapable of developing deep feelings for someone.

    Love is blind and can come at any time. It is the figure of stealth that enters into the passion of the heart, with no escape.
    That being the case, there's hope for me yet (fingers crossed)
    :)
    :peace:

    I don't imagine how you can plan to fall in love with someone, so it is always "accidental" and quite unexpected.

    In the past, for me at least, I've always gone out with someone because I'm attracted to them, not necessarily in love with them before I went out with them, then grew to love them over time. I've never experienced a love developed without an initial romantic relationship before hand.

    On top of that, I sort of also meant "forbidden," but I didn't want that as the title. Sounded a little juvenile to me. And the psychology of it is a little off kilter, of course it happened. It's forbidden. The whole rebellious thing is really a little disrespectful in my opinion.

    Thanks for the explanation :). I totally agree with your last post. I'll have to read posts more carefully, I thought you were talking about the initial attraction as well. There's always decision making involved after that first interest.

    My answer to your original question is that for the past few years I've been dating the best friend of my ex's brother. I'm sure that falls under the "forbidden" category. It was a bit weird at first but definitely the right decision. Now they get along really well and see each other more often than my ex and I do. The whole "forbidden" thing turned out alright for me ;).

    I just posted a thread about this. I'm sort of falling for a friend of mine and he has a girlfriend; he's had the same girlfriend as long as I've known him actually. I've never met anyone that seems more right for me. Ugh its frustrating.

    haha

    Same here!
    In my situation, since he met me through my ex (when I was 16 at that), he knows how immature and crazy I can act. He saw me at my worst and knows what makes me tick. I remember he used to mess with me alot because he knew how to.
    Now here we are, 5 years later and we're crazy about each other. :)

    In a reverse situation, one of my best friends ended up with a guy that I was talking to a long time ago. When she found out I didn't want to date him she was like "ummm....can I?" It actually didn't bother me at all. My reaction was more like:
    "YES! PLEASE! Take him!" lol

    Now they're married and their daughter will be turning 1 in May. :)
