what other people tell me love is never. What I consider love and am capable of feeling would be 3 times.

Twice i suppose. First ended in disaster and the second person can never be mine. But i love them (or in the very least, the 'idea' of them) and have done for years now. My second encounter with love feels very different to the first and i doubt i'll ever feel that strongly towards another person again.

As reckless as it sounds (and probably is) the very thought of the second person is what's keeping me here. It does eats away at me how they'll never know just what they mean to. Still, that's life. I don't hate the situation, love is stronger than hate

I agree with you.

I have been attracted way too many times, but really in love, probably two times, and both short and painful.

One true love, but he was taken from me as he is no longer with us. I fear that I will never find such loveliness again but know that I was fortunate to have that precious time with him even if love never comes again; I was blessed for having known him and sharing our lives together.

Love as in the kind you have in a marriage (Eros)....NONE....even in my 33 year marriage that I am finally getting divorced from (shouldn't have gotten married in the first place)

Love as in caring for friends & special people in my life.......(Agape)...feel that for most of the people who I'm friends with.....not sure I can put a number to that because I have so many special friends in my life now after leaving my H.

I had three loves. Each have given me great memories and one gave me a beautiful daughter that keeps me going.

Twice. Once 10 years ago, and it broke my heart, and right now, and it's breaking my heart. I am getting up the courage to tell Ed how much I love him, as he is leaving his position as interim pastor at our church and touring Europe for a few months with his son. Then he'll be back as a congregation member. At the very least, I'd hope he'd be flattered.

Hmmm....apparently not, if both relationships ended badly.

The right person will come along at the right time. You will know it when it happens. When it does, don't be afraid.

Just MHO.

Extreme infatuation, suffered the consequences and learned my lesson.

Lesson learned: I will never be able to be loved.

I've never been in love as far as I'm aware.

I'm sort of curious as to why it's so lop-sided, why some people experience love multiple times and others never get to experience it? Based on the future I want for myself (career-wise at least), there will be little to no chance to ever experience "real" love (I'll experience plenty of "fake" love I suspect) if I haven't already, so it makes it more difficult to move forward.
