What does falling in love feel like?

Ever since I was young I always imagined myself being in love by this age. I've grown up in the time period when in every t.v show there's was that one love couple that everybody loved and everybody hated when they broke up. I remember saying to myself that I want that. I want the love that Rachel and Ross had or even Corey and Topanga or even Kevin and Winnie. I don't think I've ever had that type of love. I was wondering what does falling in love feel like or even the thought of being in love, what does that feel like?

In my opinion, it is pure bliss and heavenly. One is lost oblivious to the surrounding environment. One will be very patient and happy and kind and sees, hears and speaks no evil. But why fall in love when this can mean fall out of love? One should be just in love. That itself is a lovely feeling.

it feels really good.. despite of all the problems and trials that may occur, just a simple smile from the one you love can turn your day from worst to best.. but falling in love is not just a simple thing.. but it's a feeling that you must need to fight for and a feeling that has a lot of commitment once given and shared by two persons.. :)

Ah, I don't know. For your sake, I hope you find what you are looking for. To me, it seems way over-rated. Just look around on Mylot, and read the hundreds, if not thousands of threads by people who thought they were 'in love', and then ended up hurt, broken, bitter, or worse, after it all came crashing down. It seems that 'love' makes you plain stupid, and I'm just not dumb enough to fall for it. Seems like a tiny bit of joy and/or pleasure, for a life time of hurt and suffering. I've met guys that ended up poor and homeless, after marrying a girl who took him for everything she could, and left him impoverished. I've met girls who ended up 3 years in counseling, after their guy found another girl, and disappeared. And the endless kids that grow up not knowing, or not wanting to know, who their father is, or where their mother is. Um... so yeah. I'll take 'single', thanks. Been single for 33 years, never had a girlfriend, and never wanted one. Never felt lonely or whatever it is that drives people to mess up their lives over some other person. But if that is your destiny or what-have-you, then best of luck to you. Not a risk worth taking in my book. I'll leave "falling in love" to made up TV shows. There's a reason they call them 'actors'.

Okay. It's simple. Love yourself, and let that love overflow. Loving yourself so, others will see what a wonderful thing it is to love you and--loving themselves--will want to take part in what a wonderful thing it is to love you. While loving yourself, you will also notice how much others who love you love themselves by loving you, and you will--loving yourself--love yourself by loving others who love you by loving themselves. Confusing. I don't recommend 'keeping track'; just let it happen, and it will ... or not.

well, everybody experience different feelings when they are in love... so nobody is the same... i can only say that the feelings are wonderful... and you feel that the world only belongs to the two of you when you fall in love... but the reality is, it is not as sweet as you think... take care and have a nice day...

Being in love feels awesome, its like you know there is someone always there for you, caring and loving. You know there is one person you can trust, one person that makes your day just with a sweet beautiful smile, one person that you would give your everything up just to be with her, one person that you would hate to let go.. well thats how i feel. however i should warn you if somehow the love doesnt work out and if you are serious about it, you will feel very bad.

True love makes you feel complete, like life is almost perfect. Sometimes words can take your breath away and the thought of the person will make you smile... Your voice and face might change when you say their name and the sight of them can give you butterflies... my true love sends shivers down my spine with every touch.

Hi there, this is such an interesting topic to discuss. There is no definition of love and the way it feels like when you fall into love. You need to experience it yourself in order to get the true feeling. If i had to describe how i felt when i fell in love. When you see the one you fall in love with, your heat beat starts rising. You get nervous and happy at the same time. You feel happy when he/she is around and you smile for no reason. You like to look perfect before meeting him/her. Overall, it is an amazing mixture of various emotions that makes you feel excellent. I hope it made sense. I hope you fall in love soon. Good Luck!

Love is like a rose, EstiiBabii. It is beautiful in its sense, but as you keep holding on you will soon feel the thorns, and as you hold it tighter you will soon bleed. The funny thing about love is that, even when your already bleeding, you just smile because you never notice that your hurt you just notice the beauty of something so singular in the world, in your grasp. Being in love is having the feeling of resentment and longing at the same time. Most days are perfectly good and and the other days perfectly bad. It is an effort itself to stay in a relationship. As you stay in that relationship, you will never see the bad things. And when the relationship gets older, that love will be more practical in the sense that it would be coupled with care and understanding that only true mutual connection with your partner will ever teach you.

I basically agree with everyone here. You cant really explain how it feels unless you feel it yourself. I thought i "loved" a couple of gf's in the past. But now that I am with my gf of 7 years, I knew that those feelings I felt for others were not the same. When your in love, youll know it. It may not occur to you at the time but youll realize it in the long run.

Hi Estii Babii: I think that to love someone is a very personal experience. You'll never learn this from another person, you have to feel it. It's a experience that combines happiness with sacrifice, work with joy. It's glorious because you feel that everything will be ok as long as you stay with t6his person you love but hard at the same time because everything is not perfect and you have to work together to face your daily problems. It's so sweet and I hope you find someone to love and that you take your own definition of what love is. ALVARO

this is a great topic and sorry to say but you wont get the excat answer your looking for and then have that eexact feeling one day and think to yourself thats what they ment. I may still be young since in only 21 but I Completely Believe I have found my true Love. Ive felt like ive been in love before but nothing compares to now. you can have really REALLY strong feelings about someone and in a sence love them but when you find True uncoditional love it the best thing in life, in the world, and the universe. you every move, moment, and thought is about or surounds this special person. my world revolvs around my fiance. hes the reason i get out of bed in the morning, the reason i go to bed at night, why I try to make myself a better person and do something good for myself. If everything else in the world, in my life has gone to hell its okay because I know i love him and he loves me, even if i cant see him physically hes in my mind, thoughts and dreams, constintly. I know ive said alot so far and its probably whats been said a billion gajillion mafillion times before but numerous people in this world but thats as far as it goes. to be honest its so strong there are no words. youl find true love one day dont stress or think about it too much its not something you can go looking for. itl happen when its the right time. *happy thoughts and wishes* :) take care

I thought I was in love before, but after meeting my fiance I feel i really know what falling in love and being in love really means. To me it was and still is the most irrational, amazing, beautiful and crazy thing that I have ever done or had the chance to do. My knees were like jello and my hands would sweat and I still get like that. Some people say it's really like falling but I think it feels like flying, like you're always in the clouds. You're happier then anytime before and sometimes just having that person look your way can make everything better. You feel safe, and unsafe all at the same time. My fiance makes me giddy, gives me butterflies, makes me feel protected. You'll want to talk to the person all the time, be near them all the time, falling in love is learning to live with your heart and mind in one moment and every moment at the same time, and its finally realizing that when it happens you can truly say that everything is or will fall into place. it's a crazy feeling that's really actually kind of hard to explain. But it does and will feel like the best thing ever. It'll be better then Topanga and Corey, Ross and Rachel, or and Princess and Prince, because you get to experience it AND you get more then happily ever after, because you get the after.
