Males and Females

I'm eighteen, so of course I haven't.

Edit: I get that it's not logical, but why the vulnerability? Why not just enjoy their company and be able to easily move on if/when they live?
 
I wish I could feel like that sometimes. I haven't gotten much further than "this person is fun to be around."
 
I've never been in love. The closest I've felt to it was when I had just gotten with my first girlfriend. It was an intense feeling of delight and that life couldn't be more awesome. After we broke up a month later it was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I've never felt love since, merely a desire to stay with someone because I'm insecure and motivated by power and sex. I've said "I love you's" all the time to a couple girlfriends that I've gotten to that point with, but those words mean nothing to me other than that they symbolize commitment so I don't have to worry about losing that person's companionship and intimacy.

I have a a tyrannical soul.
 
Eh I don't think so, those were just "is she going to murder me" concerns.

I felt what I now recognize as love when I was 16 and it was TOTALLY shit and awful. Now I've learned to keep my distance until things are reciprocated for certain - much better!
 
I have been in love twice and it was not mutual. I was not even in a relationship either times. Not sure how that's possible, but I never want to expirience it ever again as long as I live. It was awful. I have not felt am emotion in almost 4 years. If anything feel am pretty lucky to hopefully never feel again.

Similar thoughts over here.
 
That's all it took? Having another person's feelings so drastically affect oneself in a negative way sounds retarded to me. Posts like yours are part of why I have an adversity to relationships.
Ye dirty shit hustler. One can't help it, when they have such a large emotional attachment, and feel love towards someone that isn't returned, to feel negative. I'm living it now, and it is a complete hell.

I'm ready to slice a fucker, and I don't care who it is.
 
Wow. No offense, but that sounds pathetic to me. I really hope I never end up thinking stuff like that.

I've thought I was in love before, but I never actually was. Hell, I never actually even liked a girl. I just wanted a companion. This one girl I met recently is different, but we'll see if it goes anywhere. I keep telling her I don't want to define anything and she seems to be hating the distance. Maybe if I meet her I'll understand that thing about being emotionally attached and unable to help it.
 
It's nice when you're both so totally gay and retarded for each other, and feel security and peace knowing the other is the same way.
 
Girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me over a guy she met online on New Years. She had only known him for 2 weeks at the time and claimed she loved him.

What's more bullshit than that?
 
I would say "the 2 years she spent telling you she cared about you" but that's salt in wounds. Sorry dude :( I hope the next lady you find treats you better

Letting this negatively affect other facets of your life.

As krampus said, being vulnerable is not a choice when you are in love. And when it's mutual, you won't want it any other way.

No offense, but I'd feel stupid if I felt like this. I find no value in liking someone when part of the reason it's enjoyable is that they like me back.
