Being in love is pretty wonderful. The first time my boyfriend said it, I couldn’t stop smiling, because it is the most surreal thing in the world to know someone feels that way about you, too.

I only know the un-requited kind of love.

But, in my experience, you know you’re in love when the persons being with or not does not wholly define that love… when their choosing not to be with you does not diminish it… even though it hurts you.

Being “in love” however, must be totally adverse to this!

I have been pondering this question a lot recently. Can you love someone if they don’t love you back? I have tried to convince myself I just have an unrequited “crush”, but I know that I want him to be happy no matter what. I would do anything to support him, he prevents me from going out and looking for anything better and when I do date another guy I compare them to him.

I hope he finds happiness with another girl. Then I feel like I could let him go for good.

I have only been in love once and that was with my bf of 4 and a half years. I know it was love, bc even though our break up was a year and a half ago and even though I have a new guy, I feel that a little piece of my heart will always belong to him. And if something were to ever happen to him, I know it would crush me.

Though we couldn’t make it work together, I still wish him all the happiness in the world. That’s love, right?

I think it’s a different experience for everyone… but when your in love, you know it.

My definition of love is this…
Being that I am a little bit of a bitch and am also brutally honest, I know I love him when I don’t cringe when he says or does something stupid. I don’t comment, I don’t roll my eyes, I just smile because it doesn’t matter. It’s only happened twice, but is worth the wait.

Ah, l’amour. I think love is just what you feel. Sometimes the person may not love you back and it hurts like hell. But you can’t make what you feel go away. It’s just there, as heartbreaking as it may be.

Each relationship is unique in its journey towards love. With my ex of five years, we were both head over heels in love. It was that sort of “He’s both my best friend and boyfriend and he’s tremendously impacted who I am so deal with it” dynamic, but it surprisingly wasn’t overbearing. I think the reason we worked so well for as long as we did was our balance - to be a couple, grow and learn together, but also maintain our sense of individuality. Of course, after while, it all gets a little blended in.

In other instances, however, I’ve felt myself falling in love when the guy just wasn’t there. Case in pt, my latest relationship which was long distance. Everything about it was amazing, minus the physical space between us. I was willing to deal because I felt that strongly about our connection. He couldn’t. And so goes the tale of unrequited love.
