What is it like to be deeply, madly, completely in love...

What is it like to be deeply, madly, completely in love? A love that is completely infatuated and to the point of obsession? To be so much in love one wants to be completely united with another human being? Just like Humpert was with his love Lolita. Is it worth it? Is it pathological? Is it dates and doomed to end in heartbreak and despair? I NEED to know.

I NEED to know why the fuck you think it's a good question to be asked on this board?

I NEED to know how being in complete and mad love feels like. I MUST fucking know.

Then you need to feel it. It's not like you really can explain feelings

>I NEED to know why the fuck you think it's a good question to be asked on this board
Because it's the only board and site I'm comfortable with and I feel wholly connected with the members of this fucking board.

Yeah but I can't do it because no woman would fall in love with me. But you could at least try describing how it changes who you fucking are and the way that you see the world. I know you can't describe a feeling but you could at least try and tell me how it changes your mindset.

These feelings faded away recently. I dont even know if I could describe it now, dont remember

Who were you in love with and did it end in heartbreak?

I felt this way in high school. It's hard to describe.

I was very emotional in high school. And very extreme. Everything I felt, I felt to my core. Everything I thought was treated as knowledge.

Love was no exeption. Imagine how you feel about your crush or your favorite porn star.

Imagine what you would do to have sex with that person. Now multiply that desire to the level where you will sacrifice anything to satisfy it.

Hm, ok user. I get what you're saying. It's something so strong you'd give anything or do anything to have that person. But I gotta ask if like, this desire and love craving is worth having at all? Do you think that the pain that this will generate will always be greater than the pleasure it grants, and in the ends it's not worth it falling in love?

I'm not talking about a crush, I'm talking about someone you're madly in love with, not just a crush or a pornstar.

Can you greentext your high school story please?

sorry I shouldnt've said shit. Trying to get over it because theres nothing else I can do

Come on user. This is a fucking anonymous board, and I'm pretty fucking sure that you talking and letting your feelings out would only leave you feeling better in the end.

It's an incredible feeling, but god help you when that love is broken, nothing will feel worse. Nothing.

Tbh My love for her was never resolved positively (we never boned).

All I got was the chase and the terminal rejection.

We dated on and off through high school and then a couple years afterward. I was religeous at the time and I thought we would get married if I held out long enough.

I became athiest and she left me. For me, it was not worth it. But everyones experience will differ. Maybe if you can make love to the one you feel this way about it all becomes more worth it. Perhaps your feelings fade once gratification is acheived.

I regret the potential relationships hat I missed out on. I was well liked in high school and regret not making a stronger move on a couple of people. I did end up getting to sleep with one of those people last year though. That was pretty rad.

Overall, I don't know that I'll ever feel that way again. The fire inside me just doesn't burn that way anymore. I now have a better sense of self control, and I find the trade off with that is that things tend to taste less sweet.

Isn't life funny?

I generally agree with this sentiment.

It is a terrible feeling. It takes a long time to let it fade, and I don't know if you ever truly heal from it.

It felt really good for a long time like nothing else mattered if I could spend a few minutes with him every day
Just talking to him would make me super happy and satisfied with everything, and actually being with him made every moment feel like the best time of my life. now my mental problems have gotten much worse and I cant feel anything from anything, i wana die

>It's an incredible feeling, but god help you when that love is broken, nothing will feel worse. Nothing.
Ok user. Yeah, seems pretty fucking tough. There is just no fucking love without pain, and it ends up fading away. This is all very depressing.
>It is a terrible feeling. It takes a long time to let it fade, and I don't know if you ever truly heal from it.
Is it really that bad? I mean, can you never recover from it and can you fall in love the same way ever again? Or is that one intense love you had just one thing in your life and that's fucking it, once that love is broken you'll never love the same way again?
>Overall, I don't know that I'll ever feel that way again. The fire inside me just doesn't burn that way anymore. I now have a better sense of self control, and I find the trade off with that is that things tend to taste less sweet.

Ok user. Did you mean to say though that everything seems worse now when you said "things taste less sweet?" I mean,do you feel like things aren't as colorful anymore because of the heartbreak?

even those things unrelated to the breakup*

sux, first year of university basically fell for the first female I saw after arriving on campus, spent half the year not being able to get her out of my head and doing autistic stuff to be around her as much as possible. one time I basically teared up like a bitch before I fell asleep for not being with her. when I found out she had a bf and after my brain subconsciously knew I never had a chance it sort of just flipped like a switch and I got cured and could live again. worst case of oneitis I ever had I think surviving it made me stronger for it and hopefully I don't do that levels of retardation again

Greentext your story! And if possible, describe to me how you felt. Did you feel like everything was fulfilled? Did you feel euphoria? Did you feel happy just from waking up and thinking about that person? How old were you at the time? Do you wanna die now because of the breakup?

>I basically teared up like a bitch before I fell asleep for not being with her.
Holy shit user. that's actually pretty sad. One should never fall in love with someone one knows can't have.

>did you feel like everything was fulfilled/euphoria
Constantly yes, I was always happy and felt like I had a purpose in life, i was 16 when it started and its been years and we havent broken up.
I just dont feel it Or anything anymore for no real reason

It's either heaven or hell depending on the circumstance

usually infatuation happens early on in a relationship/before a relationship even starts. your obsessed with them. you don't think of them as a person, but as an idealized object that you want to acquire. i've been infatuated a lot of times.
this is my first time being in love. its very different. when your in love you think of them as a friend or ordinary person in your life. but, you are really invested in their well being. like i care almost almost as much about her well being as my own. I can't say its worth it. it just is. in a lot of ways its a lot of effort. I also don't really like dealing with emotions/feeling things.
she loves me back which is nice. i think people can be in love (not infatuated) with people who don't love them back. I've never been in this situation though.
thanks for listening /r9k

How old are you now then? Why don't you love him anymore? Does love just fade away and then it becomes a chore to be with that person?

>i think people can be in love (not infatuated) with people who don't love them back
Yeah you are exactly right. We can love and really care for someone, but when we are crazy infatuated limerence, if the other person doesn't love you back it's a complete hell filled with suffering.

>tfw when all you want to do is hug your crush tight and never let go
>tfw when your crush feels the same way
>tfw you get naked and hug and hug forever
I've never tried heroin but from the descriptions it seems similar

18 now, I think I still love him but I just cant feel it because of mental problems, BPD/autism/depression all that kinda stuff. But I dont think his love for me has faded at all, hes always felt the way I used to, so I guess it doesnt always go away

being infatuated is really different than being in love. like when you are infatuated with some one you think about them all the time, but don't really know much about them. its really rough, but easy to move on from.
its a lot rarer to be in love with some one who doesn't love you back. its pretty common to be infatuated with some one who doesn't love you back.

the honey moon phase always ends. the question is if it crashes and burns or not

>But I dont think his love for me has faded at all, hes always felt the way I used to, so I guess it doesnt always go away

Do you think though that women fall out of love easier than men? How in love is he with you? Do you wish that you could have that infatuated love again like the first time? From your descriptions, it was pure happiness. Did you ever cry or jump out of happiness/euphoria? This last question is the one I'm most intrigued about.

doesnt matter. Ive vented about this to people and on boards. Doesnt help and he lurks the site too. Time will help i guess

i'm in love with 3 people and the people they love
the number one love is the one i want to be sacrificed for, M.
The other are romantic and inspirational.
i'm hetero male and 2/3 are men.
oops, i love 4.

Weve both cried and jumped out of happiness before, pretty often too, Im pretty sure hes always been just as in love with me
Maybe women do just fall out of love easier, but Im hoping that its just my problems. hoping for those feelings to come back is all I really have to live for, I occasionally feel them maybe every couple months so I think it can be fixed

my main love is a homosexual, he wants to be raped eventually. My romantic love is a straight male I chose over my best friend.NEVER AGAIN!
i love one woman i repect/a man i respect.
I would give up my romantic love for any of these three others

oops typo

Miley, go away pls.:L

this is my board my love, go back to your fame, fortune and loser

its too the point where you can't see yourself with anyone else, i still love him...but

>Weve both cried and jumped out of happiness before, pretty often too, Im pretty sure hes always been just as in love with me
Can you describe in more detail please? Did you cry entirely out of happiness or were there other emotions mixed in?
Have you tried doing new things with him to see if the passion rekindles? I don't know, ask him if he has any wish to go to a trip with you together, or if he has any fetishes that you may fulfill in order to have better sex. Just some thoughts.
