Have you ever thought you were in love but then figured out maybe you hadn't been?

i felt that way sometimes

Yep, then I decided love doesn't exist. Now I'm happy.

yep....

Yes, I have thought it was possibly love, turned out to be fleeting lust. It was fun while it lasted.

i've never had that conversation with myself, i either was or wasn't. i KNOW when it's love, there's no questioning it.

No but a couple of my exes were in love with me then had sudden change of hearts

It had more to do with the other person doing something or giving me cues that kind of made me fall out of "love" with them.

Oh yeah! That's why I'm taking my time. I don't want to feel stupid again.

Ditto!

Don't all teenagers think that way? One minute there in love and then the next not so much.

turned out it was just gas

Oh of course.

Yep.....

Deep down I knew I wasn't when I wasn't. I kept telling myself "maybe I need more time and I'll be in love soon".

I fall in "Lust" 10 or 12 times a day......

but thats my own cross to bare.....

Love on the other hand....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

I think some folks want it so badly that they allow themselves to believe it has happened.......

then...........

they get to know each other..........

Yes, I felt this way for many years while I was married. I know now that I got married when I was young and very naive for all the wrong reasons, and then tried to continue in the role because I did take the vows and believed that I must make it work at whatever cost because of them. I am the type of person who lives by my word, and believe me, it was one of the hardest things I have ever done to finally accept that this person and myself were not compatible, we did not have the same values, ideas or goals in life. The relationship was volatile at times, and yet I still persisted for many years... even knowing and feeling that the eventual outcome was not going to be good. Then one day, I made the break... and even though I have went through a lot of guilt over it, I would have to say that now I have never felt better about myself and life since doing so.
