So, is anyone in love? .........Dish already!!!!!

or......what do you think love is? Is it happiness? Is it deeper than happiness? Is there an ideal person out there? Are you happy alone? Are you a hopeless romantic? Do you think you'll find what you're looking for?

I guess I'm "infatuated" with someone at the moment. It sounds crazy, we only talk online, and I might see him in about a month, to hang out, "no expectations". But I've known him in real life since we were kids, really, 'cause we used to hang out before I moved. He's cute, not omg soap opera perfect cute, but somehow he just fits all those things I want in a guy. The problem is we might be too sarcastic for each other, 'cause its lead to some communication problems, but I dunno, might be my match. I like the idea that there's a part of me that he knows that no one else really does and no other guy is ever going to.

But yeah, I'm definitely the hopeless romantic. I think love is deeper than happiness (I think it gets you through the unhappy times, which are bounnd to happen). I found "that person" and he was right in front of my face, although it remains to be seen if there is anything there. I don't know if I'll find what I'm looking for in this lifetime. I can be happy alone, and I have been for some time, but I'm so ready to find love right now. I'm ready to love myself, and be myself now too. I work so hard to mask part of myself by acting stupid (funny stupid, amusing) which is great and entertaining and a part of me, but there are things inside me that are hard even for me to know sometimes, and they're beautiful, and delicate, and powerful, and intelligent. And maybe I've protected them long enough that they've matured and it's time to stand on my own. Find love, create love, and be love.

So uhhh, feel free to babble, people. I'm bored and curious so I made a thread.

SOMEONE'S IN LOOOOVE!!!!

HAHA! Good for you. Don't worry about the sarcasm, it will probably subside. I'm very sarcastic too, especially to the people I love the most. I know when I need to cool it.
Good luck!

Love is my boyfriend going out and buying me toilet roll, medicine and soup while I am suffering from dreaded stomach flu! ;D heheh!

ok, I at least love the idea of loving this guy, and I'd love to be in love with him. I'm willing to go out on a limb and take a risk to find out though. (I think I'll love him anyway, even if I'm not with him, because I'd like to be able to find a way to love everyone, but I don't wanna tell him that and creep him out )

I'm single right now. I was in a almost 3 year relationship, at one point I thought I loved him, but thinking back I don't think I was satisfied or happy with him. I learned from it, learned of the kind of things I don't want in a guy. I want a guy that gets my sense of humor, that I can laugh with and act stupid around if I feel like it and know that he will still love me. I want a guy that is secure with himself but not overly cocky. I want a guy that when I feel like it I can wear just a old teeshirt and jeans and not have to hide behind makeup, and he'll still think I'm beautiful. I want a guy that doesn't judge me on my issues or his reaction to my picking is "why can't u just stop?" and instead be supportive and there for me. He also has to be outgoing and can hold a conversation. AHHH, that's the kind of qualities I would like in a guy, but what I wish for and what i get is a whole 'nother story.
I was inrested in this guy at the clinic I go to for therapy. Well, basically he came up to me and introduced himself, he saw my tattoos and liked them, and he had tattoos too, so we got to talking about that. Next time I saw him he asked for my number. Than I started realizing he just was interested in one thing, SEX. He made that perfectly clear. And I'm not down for that when I just met this guy. OH<but he is so hot! Now he hasn't really been talking to me cause I think he got the pictire that I didn't wanna be bothered with him. I haven't seen him around the last couple of times I went to therapy, but for some reason I always make sure I look good and am wearing something nice, in case I bump into him, I know, I'm stupid, but I can't help it, I think he's sexy. Even though deep down I know he has no intentions of dating me, he just wants some action, plus I found out he does drugs,is a alcholic, and
was in jail, he's still in recovery for alcholism. I definitly don't need to deal with all that . I would just have more issues. (sigh) I wish I can meet a guy that liked me for me and my personality, not just to get some. I hope I one day will find true love!

Aww. you deserve way better than that. You don't want to date someone with those problems who just wants one thing. I want the same things you do. I feel like I'm never going to find it here, but who knows, the minute you let go, like really let go of the ones who aren't worth your time, new people will fill it. At least that's what I think I've found out.

Meanwhile I'm not sure what to do about this guy I like. I'm not even so sure the excitement is there anymore. I don't like being jerked around and I'm too smart to put up with it but part of me still wants to really find out if he's worth it. Well, if it doesn't work out he'll just be on my list of guys who are going to sorely regret not going for me when they had the chance.
