Has anyone actually experienced love?

Has anyone actually experienced love before? i know this might belong in love and dating but i want to ask the average aspie.
I thought i experienced it once but it turned out not to be.

I don't even know how the hell one determines whether or not he/she is in love.

Ehh I think so.

You just know, its not something you have to think about.

And yes, I have. Met her at 19, love at first sight. We dated for 2 weeks and split up (loooong story) and almost hooked back up a month or two later, but never made the move to keep her. I let her get away. If I had asked her to be with me, should would have been, and I am convinced we would still be together.

Love my animals , my nephews, sisters, brothers and niece.

yes, though not for one I did not care for*

confusing? no. I simple care* for less people.

I've experienced it online, but not in real life.

Yes, I have experienced love. I have met the love of my life and we are planning on getting married, something i thought would never happen.

thats wonderfull is she/he an aspie or an NT?

I am a girl and he's a guy. Through my own search into asperger's syndrome, I have seen some of the traits in him (obsessed with video games, bouncy walk, likes to be alone), but I think these are just some quirky traits in him, I'm not sure that he has AS. I met him before I even knew about AS, and we just clicked. After we clicked, we worked extremely hard to make it work and keep it working. I think in some ways we have worked harder than most couples. Love is great but it's not always easy.

thats fabb how cool is this, soo it is possible for an aspie to fall in love.

Of course it's possible. There's no reason to let our particular difficuties get in the way of us having what we want in life. We may have to work a bit harder or wait a bit longer, but it IS possible and don't let anyone tell you it's not.

I have been in love twice - I married the first one (it didn't last but she had more issues than I did; AS wasn't a factor in her leaving) and I dated the other one for 5 years before sh called it quits on her. We were very good together, and she even called me her "soul mate", but little things drove her away. At the time I did not know I had AS, or had even heard of it, but we knew about my ADD, and one of the factors that made her leave was she didn't want to raise kids who were likely to have ADD. She had issues of her own too, but we were 95% compatible and got along like best friends. After reading these forums and taking the Aspie quiz, I now suspect she is an aspie, too.

I've fell in love about 1 time in my life. But right now, there really isn't anybody that interests me.

I've been in love with five people online, and none in real life.

I prefer real life relationships, so far its only because i love to cuddle and hug heaps.
