    It don't come easy. It's a game of give and take.

    Like tennis.

    What would tennis players know? Love means nothing to them...

    You know less than a month?
    I ask because I know a girl getting married shortly, together two years (almost to the day they get married) and they were madly in love after about a week.

    Now I see on Facebook another adult relationship pretty new, and they're "in love" also.

    I may just be emotionally cold but I don't think people can know after that length of time, obviously, and they're just desperate.

    Course you can.
    It's even possible to love someone before you've met them. Ask Savage Garden :rolleyes:

    been in 2 serious relationships (6.5 yrs, 4.5 yrs)

    First time you think your in love is pure honest animalistic lust.

    Some people probably can and do fall in love like that, i prefer to think it develops over a period of time. For some they say "i love you" as commonly as "thanks" for others its seldom said, and if it feels like a huge deal for you to talk about "are we in love" or to tell your other half of x weeks, months, years, that "I love you" then you probably ARE in love - question is though, if they are in love with you, how come they havent said it yet!!!!!

    lol, when you can answer this question without your genitals answering, you'll know....

    Pop quiz hot shot....
    Your [insert family member here] and your significant other are going to die... but you can choose to save one of them... who would you choose to save and why?

    There ya go :)

    i'd save my wife
    its not a dilemma if we were in a (insert scenario here) and i had to grab someone and save them it'd be my wife
    unless its ones child (i don't have kids) then i'd of thought everyone would save their wife, but the thread says can you love someone

    "woaaaaaaahohwoaaaaahowoaaaaah"

    Damn it's stuck in my head now :eek:

    :pac::pac::pac: Is that how you spell it then? I would have spelt it whoaohwhoaohwhoaohwhoaaaaaaaaaoh but thanks for that all the same. I cried with laughter reading it.

    Having consulted the internetz extensively (2 separate websites from google) it seems that the consensus would be:
    Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
    Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

    However I reckon the gusto of "whoaohwhoaohwhoaohwhoaaaaaaaaaoh" is the best answer :pac:


    I may have just listened to it again having spent the last 3 odd hours trying to not sing it :eek:

    You can only really know if you love someone if you've lived with them for years, are able to put up with them and their habits and if are willing to carry out boring household chores for them such as cooking, ironing & sex.

    I don't like to be alone in the night
    And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
    And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
    But I do love you
    But I do love you

    It happens in movies and books all the time. Guy sees a girl and instantly knows he's in true love...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,331 ✭✭✭SparkySpitfire


    Who's to say that you can or can't? It's all subjective.

    People telling pat that he didn't fall in love with his wife when he first met her - excuse me? Can you read minds? :rolleyes: It's awfully presumptive because you really don't know whether he did or not. And you never will.

    Edit: Loving all the song lyrics - my head's buzzing with music now, to YouTube! :D

    Does beer count ?...

    I fell out of love a few years ago with a woman i thought i loved, but then i realised that my real love was for beer.

    My love for beer is 100% and i cannot see us part as we have such a great relationship and real understanding.

    We have our highs and lows at certain times of the week with me narky and giving out because i cannot have my loved one in my hands and to kiss and to make love to, and then there are day's i miss her (beer) and cannot afford to meet her as she demands money all the time.

    Love is blind, especially in my case (of beer) as sometimes it's lonely when i cannot have and taste my beloved. Love is great. :)

    I think you can,i scored with my ex years ago when I was drunk and the next week agreed to meet each other. as I approached the cinema I seen her and she smiled at me, fell in love instantly. even though our relationship went off the rails after that I will always remember that moment and im so grateful to her for giving it to me.we're still best friends to this day

    i fell i love, the moment i saw my OH and married almost 20years now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Had a conversation with my bf earlier

    me: I don't love you
    Him: don't love you either
    me: want to get a pizza and go for pints after?
    Him: couldn't think of anything better

    Best relationship ever.

    I want to believe it, but the analytical, rational part of my brain tells me it just chemical overload. Initially at least.

    I'm sure love can grow quickly if not instantly. I'm more interested in what happens after the 'in love' part fades. What you're left with then would be the real thing, the warts and all stuff that lasts.
