Have you ever been in love?

And was it reciprocated? Did it turn into a relationship? End in heartbreak or disappointment?

And if you've been in a relationship, were you in love with the person when it started or did it take getting to know them for you to develop feelings? (Or maybe you never developed feelings of love but just appreciate the person for who they are and enjoy being with them?)

I was very much in love with my first boyfriend, and it was reciprocated. It took just a little time for us to fall in love. We were friends before we started dating although it didn’t take long for us to become more than friends. There were nights when we stayed up until dawn talking.

The day I broke up with him was the worst day of my life, maybe for him, too. It was a complicated situation. I was very romantic when I was young. It never occurred to me until that point that love isn’t always enough.

Wherever he is, I hope that he’s happy. Sometimes I worry about that.

No one else has been in love? You can also answer no...

I thought I was in love with my previous boyfriends

Well I was...but not in the same way as I am right now with David!! !

No. I have had strong feelings for a woman though
it was not reciprocated.

Women and men approach love differently.

Woman will feel love for a man when he has career stability and financial security.
If he can offer her that, he is much more attractive.

A man doesn't have to have financial stability or a career to attract love. If that was the case only a few people in the upper financial tier would have love. The vast majority of the world's people are poor. And the majority have relationships, and love.

^the question is, what is the difference between them and the poor middle-class people?

How do they easily attract love?

I know it's not impossible to find a date, but as a man your prospects are limited largely by your income.
This is just reality.
Women who have their own careers are generally looking for a man who is self sufficient.
I would like to find love but I do not feel it is likely to happen unless my income increases.
I am not interested in dating other lower income women, generally speaking. I'm not on any dating sites and I don't expect to find a partner that I'd be interested in who is on disability.

I want to do better in my career and have high expectations of myself. I'd like to be in a position where I am financially well off and I can date the women I am attracted to.

Having said that, I have been stuck without any career progress for years. It is frustrating surviving on disability.
It feels as though you are left out of society, both professionally and personally. I am not trying to sound like a 'poor me' either. I am being frank about the reality as I experience it.

No.
