Can we REALLY fall in love with one person?

Or, are most of us only in love with the anticipation of the emotions that we have become addicted to, because the same person we say we are in love with can fall out of favor the next week by not complying or reciprocating those emotions. When that happens, we just take our emotional addictions to another person and so on...I think this explains why people claim they can be in love with 2 person at one time. Because it all depends on how many people we have feeding our emotional addiction. What are your thoughts.

("We" meaning most everyone on YA and not me.)

    I think it is more then possible to fall in love with one person...yes it is also possible to fall out of love but that does not always happen right away. There is a difference between being in love and being in lust. I think you may be head over heels in love with someone and still love other people...Loving someone and caring about someone is something much different then being in love with someone. You need to be mature about it and one thing is if you are in love with someone don't get emotional with others because then you are just confused. If you would not act that way with the person sitting there beside you it's wrong to do it when they are not.

  • Love is not a feeling, love is better classified as a series of actions which we engage in which defines and enhances our feelings of affection and adoration. That is where alot of people have the tendency to confuse the difference between love and infatuation. Love is classified as the desire to put anothers needs above your in on order to make them happy and not just seek self gratification. Infatuation is a feeling of happiness you get simply from being in the presence of a person. So you can when you love a person, you are thusly in love with them and infatuated with them similtaneously, which really doesn't allow room for the "feeling" to fade because it isn't based on how you feel. But infatuation is a feeling which can fade, just like any other feeling. Just to clear things up a bit.

    I believe we can fall in love with one person as long as we are mature enough to know what true love is and don't rush into or force anything to happen that should come about at a natural pace.

    How do you recognize they are falling in love? Did you ever think of that he's in simple terms as harm as you're, yet perhaps he's making an attempt to fill that vacant area with somebody else? in case you have been his first lady chum then you definately understand that everytime they do something at the same time, he compares you to her. Remeber adult adult males truly are the grasp of hide. they are able to conceal there thoughts greater effective than maximum females individuals. And if he's hurting he's no longer gonna decide directly to instruct that to you, he's gonna attempt to go on and placed in this front. for the thank you to handle it... properly you're saying you adore him acceptable? properly do you truly love him, all the way down to the bone? b/c in case you truly did incredibly love him, then his happiness might come first. i understand the place your coming from once you describe those thoughts. I went by way of them at the instant myself. yet i grow with a view to go on, bc I knew i might fairly have my X be pleased with somebody else, than be with me and be unhappy. i'm no longer asserting it grow to be uncomplicated. It wasn't yet understanding and accepting that made issues go greater easily

    Yes, you can. When the right person comes along, you won't want to ever love anyone else again in a romantic way. Trust me.

    It is possible to love only one person.if you are in a relationship and you think you love someone else too,then the person you think you love you do not.When you find the person you will know and will not wonder away and you wont love anyone but that one person.
