Love

[saechalyn]

Sometimes the lack of drama is a hard thing to get used to. I think I'll manage though.

I have honestly wondered if I would have any idea what to do if I ever found a drama-free relationship. I think the answer is no.

Take naps?

Love is a game for suckers and idealists.

I suppose we're all a sucker or an idealist at one time or another. But as for me....

Alceste is my motherfucking hero.

Take naps, or perhaps maybe possibly have lots and lots of very pleasureable experiences ?

[creatureofthenyte]

I believe love exists.

For me, I just haven't found a good lady yet.

Oh yes you have.

You just haven't gotten to know her very well yet.

What about twins? I don't like to think they are tied at the waist or anything...but.......

They are born together which is kinda like mother natures way of ensuring they are together in life somewhat.

Just there are all these stories of twins being separated at birth only to find they live 2 houses down from one another later on or something.....?

I saw a special on it and it was truely amazing.

Something is going on there.....I will never totally understand it but its fun to watch how close they are.

(lots of twins in my family)

find some here:

AAAHA!

i had NOT thought of twins.

Very cool point!!!!!!!

I spoke only on my own experience.

I have never known twins either..

Not well, i should say.

Something new to think about..

[creatureofthenyte]

Have I now ? Do tell...

[BrassFusion]

Eh, that's all I got. My best flirting is always in the form of one-liners, sadly.

-i believe in soul connections because i HAVE them... and have had them in my life MANY times.

not only romantic ones.

a few examples, my sister and i have a soul connection. a very strong one. my mom and i have a soul connection. my friend Karl and i have a soul connection. Paul and i have a soul connection..

-as far as "meant to be".. this is HARD because we make our life what it is.

really, we choose who we are with.

we choose how to treat that person, and if we arent careful with the heart given to us, a relationship wont stick.

i believe if you really want a partner to share your life with, a prayer may bring who will match you perfectly.

-each choice brings new people across our path.. not "meant to be", more like "happened upon".. haha

... when we find ourselves finishing one anothers sentences and nodding our heads continually during conversation.. SOUL CONNECTION = having many THINGS in common and compatible PERSONALITIES.

its so nice to find these types of relationships/people

-as far as a chemical reaction in the brain? i think the reaction is a lil south of the brain

when i had these "reactions" in my youth.. **clears throat** well, it didnt last, we will say it that way.

So, i believe in soul connections because i HAVE them.

"meant to be" and "chemical reactions"-- not so much.

i agree with all this. though i do believe in the "chemical reactions" because i have that happen too. i think the chemical reaction in [my] brain does go hand in hand with the "south of the brain" like miss sybil mentions. at least for me it does/has.

i definately have had a lot of "soul connections" and not just in romantic relationships. i have probably only had ONE connection like that with a boyfriend. i have them more often with friends and family.

i think love comes in many flavors, as do soulmates - i don't think that there's just "1" for anyone - i think that we meet many people in our lives who are meant to make an impact, and who will hold special places in our hearts from that point on - i think people can love/be in love with more than one person at a time - although i take issue with the thought of "pre-destiny" it's been my experience that there are certain people you're meant to be with/develop relationships with, and that one will meet many of these people in their lifetime - i think people are much too hung up on the "posession" aspect of love/relationships, and ruin a good thing by allowing jealously/selfishness to rule them - i think, when you've met the right people, love is meant to be shared, and not hoarded...

(i'm not sure how clear that came out, or if it even makes sense, but that's how the thoughts came into my head, so that's how i wrote them. ask me for clarification, if you wish, although i'm not sure if i'll be able to elaborate...)

Yep, Mike summed it pretty much to a T

[JaneDead]

I've come to believe we are all walking self-fulfilling prophecies. I've seen men who believe that all women are sluts and sure enough, every single woman they find cheats on them, and I've seen women who go from one abusive violent relationship to another, basically the same man in a different body.

We need to stop, step off the dance floor and make our own selves happy first, learn to love who we are and make ourselves happy. A healthy human being will attract another healthy human being.

Sometimes the lack of drama is a hard thing to get used to. I think I'll manage though.

so very true.

people can be happy, they just don't seem to know how. it doesn't happen when you try to find it somewhere or from someone else. i think that is why people have a hard time with love- all of what you mentioned ^ it's hard to make a relationship work with someone when you aren't with the "right" person.

i agree with all this too. i was going to post my own thoughts on this subject/thread but then i realized i could just steal everyone else's this time.

I'm really not in a good place to dwell on this... So I won't.

[JaneDead]

I'm really not in a good place to dwell on this... So I won't.

but you do believe in love and know it exists.

[Msterbeau]

but you do believe in love and know it exists.

Indeed. That's why I'm in the place I'm at now... Great love means great loss if it ends. And maybe a little wisdom.

Takes time to figure out...

[ManicQueen]

Love is very confusing.

I don't think it just happens like love at first site but I do think it's more of a... learned behavior.

[raziel4772]

Do you believe in a soul connection......something ment to be......or do you think all love and romance is, is....a chemical reaction in the brain brought about to make us procreate and raise young? And don't tell me both and try to confuse me, I was up late last night.

At one point I did believe in the romantic idea of love but now I'm not so sure. But the up side is every time a relationship fails I console myself with this quote

"Tis better to have loved and lost, than to have lived with the bitch the rest of your life"

what can I say I'm a bit bitter was with my ex for 2 1/2 years and was just about to propose when I got dumped (I have great timeing don't I?)

I think there are different kinds of love.... ever changing with time and life experience.

I do believe there is someone for everyone... I don't know that I think there is only 1 someone for everyone...

The people we meet through our lives help us develop into who we are and how we react to other relationships.

I liked this post.

and I'll only add that if I wanted someone in my life I would not fucking tip toe about it and protect myself and take my time and see if it had any compatibility...fuck that, that's not how it works. Give me all or nothing, to me that's the only thing thats real.
