<p>Marco117, I definitely agree that the word “love” is abused too much these days… and I also agree that it’s normal to not have experienced “falling in love” yet at my age, I just wanted to know if falling in love is as magical as some people make it seem… or as ****ty as others claim it is. Either way…only time will tell what my perspective of it will be If you want to know the complete truth, I can’t wait to fall in love… I don’t want to rush into it or anything… but I’m excited to enter new waters when it happens. </p>
<p>I hope all goes well with you and the girl too btw :)</p>
<p>^ Falling in love is wonderful. Falling out of love sucks if you look at it as losing something. If you look at it as merely moving on to the next stage of your life, it can be comforting.</p>
<p>^^Haha, couldn’t agree more and thanks. Wether we get together or not i’m really just happy to have her in my life.</p>
<p>I see some people complain love sucks and then I see some couples that have been together for decades and are content with life. Makes me want to experience it all for myself and get my own take on it.</p>
<p>Just got home, still durnk, and definitely in love right now. Barely know the girl but i’ve liked her more than any other ive ever known. Its so weird, barely know her, but se’s just got me. I’m hooked, damnnnn</p>
<p>OP – falling in love is cool, being in love is better. Dated a guy but enjoyed his friend’s company more, and everyone quickly/awkwardly realized the mismatch. That wasn’t fun, but it was survivable. I never expected to date anyone at all (the original high school wallflower) but surprise! there he was, my perfect match. Calm to my crazy, steady to my panic, risktaker to my worries… I feel like my best self around him, he sees me the way I hope to be but takes all the crap, too and doesn’t think less of me. Love is grand. </p>
<p>And yes, I’m an old lady. Married to this surprise guy for 26 years, after we met at college.</p>
<p>Nope. Had one girl in high school, best friends for 5 years. I liked her for about 2 years, finally dated her, loved her, would have done anything for her. Turned out she used me so she didnt have to buy a prom ticket, and proceeded to leave me on the first day of my senior summer to get with another guy. Will probably never fall in love again.</p>
<p>Nope haven’t been in love. I’ve always been the scaredy-cat type, confident in just about everything except my ability to “entrance” the opposite sex. Plus, I guess I’m just too busy? Care too little? Love being independent? Used to being independent? Hard to say. Always been happy enough with the status quo that I haven’t bothered to change my habits. Now I’m in a situation where I like a guy and he likes me, and it is so darn awkward! I don’t know if I love it or hate it - enjoy the company, hate the nervousness. And then my friends are so darn nosy and more excited about it than I am. *sigh. We shall see I guess…</p>
<p>haha, I was hoping someone else was in love with one of their professors besides me. Oh well. He’s happily married and I’m not going to make a move. Just admire him in class.</p>
