*When was the Last Time You Fell in Love?*

Post Reply New Topic

Excluding relationships that you "kind of" ended-up in, and which may have/have had their good sides, but weren't the same thing as "falling in love" ...

When did you last fall in love, and how many times has this happened to you in your life, ( please give some idea of your age ! ).

Last fell in love 12 years ago, have been in love, ( as in "truly madly deeply" ), 8 times since age 16, am now 45.

At 32 years, I've loved several people; of those, I have been deeply in love with perhaps 3. I fell in love with my fiance when I met her over eight years ago; that would be the last time I 'fell in love'.

Im 30 now, Ive only fallen in love a few times, once in my teens, once when I was 21 and once very recently.

I dont like it, I feel uncomfortable with strong emotions especially when they are not returned.

I have no idea what it feels like for "falling in love" to turn into a long-term relationship.

Two of the eight times I fell in love it was not reciprocated, and of the other six none resulted in a long-term relationship. But whenever I fell in love it had a deep and lasting effect on my life.


I partly agree; I thought I was going to fall in love 4 years ago, but found myself able to "decide" not to, when I realised that what I was feeling was more like fear/pure panic than anything else. But perhaps that's part of why I used to find falling in love so extraordinary. I used to let myself feel that.

I'm close to 30 now and either 4 times or never, the most recent was about 10 months ago. I tried to force it not to happen, but it didn't really work.

The first two left the relationship after a couple years; have grown to understand that my inherent challenges in handling change and expressing myself contributed heavily to the strain in those relationships, though it does not excuse their behaviors in the manner they ended the respective relationships. Yet I still speak to both to this day, as they meant a great deal to me. With my fiance, I was beyond smitten upon first meeting... but there was a continent between us, as well as her already being involved with someone when we met. When she was single, I was not... and so the years transpired. And while we were close, we didn't confess how we each felt openly until the past couple years. I've had extraordinary crushes on people; almost all of those have been unrequited. Even those have had some profound effects on me over the years, but nothing compared the sway of love.

Only once really, it led to a 5.5 years relationship (started late teens), it left me rather disillusioned about the whole thing. Another earlier one was sort of platonic love or borderine love/friendship, nothing came out of it (I was in my early teens). A few other times I've had crushes, for lack of a better word (they were based on personality rather than looks) that I think could have developed into full-blown love - I made sure they didn't, as none of them were even remotely viable. I haven't been in love for years. I don't regret the time I was in love, but I do not think unreciprocated love is worthwhile.
Im 26.

I'm 23 and I've been in love with someone only twice, the latest being a girl I havn't seen in about a year and half and am just about starting to forget about. I asked both girls out and both said yes and then changed their minds, or rather were just saying yes in the first place to humour me.

I've had girlfriends, and cared about them a lot and still miss them now. But they didn't quite make my heart start pumping in my chest in that way it does when you love someone.

If only you could chose who you fell in love with, life would be one long moment of joy.

I believe I wrote something very similar to that into my diary a year or two ago.

I've fallen in love three times. The first lasted 7 years, the second (and strongest but also decidedly not reciprocated; although the first was very strong it was more physical attraction than anything else because I didn't know the guy) lasted about 4 years and I think I'm only just coming out the other side of that, and the latest was about a year and was my first boyfriend.

But the interesting thing is that I've never been able to consider dating anyone I'm not in love with. Which obviously severely limits my chances, but oh well.

The first and only time was a couple of years ago. Unreciprocated. Am in early thirties.

When I as a T-Rax living 1000 bc.

I'm 20, I've loved seven people. Last time was six months ago, and I'm still falling...

When I can honestly say I fell in love? That would have to be about 3 years ago when I was 19

Never for me.

I'm still trying to figure out what love is.

two days ago ^_^
