Do you have the ability to fall in love?

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't think it was possible to fall in love. (Technically speaking, I didn't think about it at all in real life, just didn't think it was possible online.) I didn't even think it was possible to be smitten with someone, obsessed with them. I had only experienced things like that with fictional characters. Nobody in this world could reach me like that.

And then I met my boyfriend and I have to say, YES, I do have the ability to fall in love. I started becoming infatuated with him just by reading his posts here on WP. I've never encountered anyone so sweet, caring, and loving. He has morals and values that are dear to my heart. Some would say he is a "nice guy" and have relegated him to a friend zone, but that's not what happened with me. I am seriously attracted to his qualities and his personality.

I'm in love!

I've fallen in love. A couple or three times it all turned out to be sheer, unadulterated lust. Fun times indeed. The one time I was truly in love, the friendship was entirely platonic. Loved that man as a father -- he was the kindest and most non-egotistic man I'd ever met.

Yes, it's rare but when I fall in love I fall hard.

I've had quite a few secret crushes since I was 10 or so, but have never told any of them. When I do have a crush, they become my special interest. It feels like I need to be infatuated with someone at all times.

I had the ability when I was younger but thankfully it went away when I grew up.

I often fell in love...and go on doing this..sometimes I think that may be it's not good to fall in love so often but nevertheless I like this feeling...it inspires really...

Yes, I think probably too intensely. I used to get very obsessive. The"butterflies" are just something that happens early on in a relationship, though, and I don't really think it has much to do with love in the long-term sense. I'm in love with my husband, who is quite likely also an aspie. We've been together for five years and that love by now looks more like friendship much of the time than some dramatic obsessive romance-novel business. In fact, we both forgot our last anniversary until after it was over, but he listens to me philosophizing about the pattern of threads in a piece of linen cloth and I admire his spreadsheets of basketball statistics, and that's what matters to us.
(When my mom found out we forgot our anniversary, she said "you two are so cute" )

I'm certainly capable of loving and falling in love.

I don't think I ever loved my ex's (liked them, yes infatuated, yes) but I know I do love my husband. It has just taken me almost five years to start feeling it. But I did like him a lot when we first met and I was infatuated with him. He kept saying it was love but I can't tell the difference. Give it three to six months and then see. I just felt no love for him except for the fact I knew I wanted to be with him. I wanted a relationship and get married and have kids and I would need a man for that and he had to be the right person for me.

I'm not sure. I think I was in love once, and it felt pretty serious at the time, but vanished quickly. That was maybe 5 years ago, and I haven't fallen in love since. I had a couple of crushes but that's it. I think maybe I don't love like other people. Even when I find someone attractive (both outside and character), I'd rather imagine something like "friends with benefits" than a real relationship.

I have a new boyfriend, I'm 26 years old and we've said we love each other already and it's kind of early but feels right.

i can easily fall in love and get madly obsessedly in love.
i do suffer from erotomania caused due to negligence by parents.
