Is it just a second-hand emotion?
Do you believe in love?
Have you been in love?
Personally I dislike love and refuse to fall for that tosh ever again.
What say you?  |

"I believe in friendship, companionship. Love like relationships, it's not for me. If I ever feel it again I'll run for the hills"
I feel the same. Love my family and friends but anything else....nah |

Depends on what you mean by love
I'm kind of sceptical about TV/movie/novel romantic love
But I have friends and family that I would literally lay down my life for - or at least donate a kidney for |

I’ve loved, been loved and still love a few people, I don’t believe in falling in love though, it misses the point about hard work sacrifice. If love comes too easy or quick it’s probably lust or infatuation |

Love is a gift, and should be given freely and without strings or caveats.
"I love you" should be purely fact rather than having the question "do you love me?" attached silently to it. If you can give love without expecting an answer it is a beautiful thing and so fulfilling.

being a young lad and having that mind state I did fall in love on one night stands, but learning the hard way, love has nothing to do with it, once everything is on the table. If both parties are honest then everyone knows what it's about |

I've badly hurt and my heart broken by someone who said he loved me but despite that I'll always have a part of me that still believes in love. Although if love did happen again for me, I'd be very wary and take things very slowly x |

I've been there but I fell in love with a one night stand/fling but I didn't know it was just fun. Now from experience i make my intentions clear from the start

I’m young and hopeful though.

Tosh? No Quimmy, keep your heart open.
I do believe in love, I'm afraid I'm a softie with eternal optimism. Sadly my self doubt can mean I doubt whether people do love me or could. But I still believe in it and think it's a beautiful thing when found. |

I’ve loved. My first long term relationship was the only relationship I’ve had where I feel the love was mutual. And it was a great love. And he is the man who taught me what love feels like and more importantly, looks like. His actions mirrored his words.
I am a hopeful romantic. But somewhat doubtful that kind of love can happen more than once. |

There are different kinds of love, the love of a child, a partner, a swinging friend. Many are afraid of love, most are hurt by its loss in whatever form it took. We love long term naughty friendships and yes in a way we love the people too and hurt somewhat when it ends, especially if unreasonably. We are very loving, caring, yet seem to find many are quite the opposite. How deep is your love ?... |

I do believe in love.
I don't love easily, be that platonic or romantic love. But when I do I do it freely and openly, with no expectations of reciprocation....you can't make somebody love you back, no matter what you do. |

"I didn't believe in it. And then I met someone whom I loved unconditionally. I hope to feel that again.
Do you believe in fairytales by any chance? "
Still no. He left me. |

Yes I believe in love. I love my boys until I could literally burst. I have dear friends whom I have loved for decades. I think the problem is people focus too much on romantic love only and not the love they see around them.  |

"I have all the love I need from family & friends and the odd companion.
I don’t need or want what I can only describe as the all consuming love, feeling caged & controlled. "
Do you find romantic love all consuming, caging and controlling? |

I believe in love and have so much love for my friends and family. However I’m more likely to be in lust with a sexual partner than I am to actually be in love with them. |

Yes I believe in love, when it’s unforced, when it comes without expectation or ideal, when it’s not keeping up with the Jones’s and posting elaborate gestures, when it’s pure and comes out of nowhere, when it hits you right in the gut and you just know! The kind of love that enhances you, that makes you feel alive that allows you to still be you that’s the kind of love you’d bottle and sell!
None of this pre conceived ideal that it’s all a bed of roses the kind where you are smothered, controlled or worse still you change for another human being that can take a fuck to itself!
But when it’s real it’s the best feeling there is - be it in a romantic or purely platonic sense xx |

"I'd vowed never to let myself love again, it hurts too much..... I had my mind changed  "
I vowed the same and then fell helplessly into love. Still together after 30 years but got the scars to prove it! |

Snap!! And I kept him at a distance for a while to protect myself. But he persevered. Now I can’t imagine my life without him.

You don’t realise when in that situation until you step out of it, how controlled & changed you had become. |

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you |

I can't work out whether rhyming pneumonia with phone ya is fucking awful or a stroke of genius. |

I was lucky and didn’t feel like that in the relationship, I know different from others. It was only when I left I realised the difference in myself. I’m now back to the true me, but took time. |

Sorry about this. I hope you found yourself again. And that if you do find Love again it’ll be more beautiful. |

It took a year out for me to notice how different I was. And how I wasn't the person he said I was for years. It's lovely to be the true you  |
