Are you in love?

[mix]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear mix...

Of course I am!

Life without love is not worth living, IMHO...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. ok

You are truly blessed.

[vixengrl]

2. Were I not in love

I would be in love with being in love--
an unrequited love, for being in love would not love me,
being in love being narcissistic,
would be loving itself for its own reasons.

Being in love being in love with being in love,
being in love would hear the echo of my true confessions--
but being in love would love its own reflection better,
and imagine my words of love came from being in love, itself.

But by loving the reflection of love and hearing the echo
of the love I have (being in love with being in love)
wouldn't being in love fall in love with me for being in love
with it?

Oh, no. Narcissus fell into the pool of his reflection,
and Echo died away, and when I was no longer in love with
being in love,
I married a nice Italian butcher from Mt. Airy
and we're madly in love. Without being mad about love.

3. ..

[KamaAina]

4. Yes, indeed. Have been for a couple of months now.

But she isn't, at least not with me. And I don't think I'll ever meet anyone like her again. Most people never do.

[Ohio Joe]

5. No - nt

[evlbstrd]

6. I am.

Alas, it is ending badly. Jealousy is an ugly beast, especially when it's unwarranted.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear evlbstrd...

I am so very sorry to hear this...

Hugs to you, sweetie...

:hug: :hug:

[evlbstrd]

23. Thanks for the hugs, Peggy.

Other than the green eyed monster, she's a wonderful woman.

[Mollis]

8. Not right now.

But I may be falling into it, atm.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Yes.

;(

[armyowalgreens]

10. True Story: I'm in love with my friend...who just happens to be dating my other friend.

Yes, it sucks.

[Lucian]

11. I am.

And I couldn't be happier. :)

[fizzgig]

28. ...

:)

[billyoc]

12. No, it's 5am here, the bars aren't even OPEN.

:hi:

[LostInAnomie]

13. I was, but I'm slowly letting it go.

We can't always get what we want... and all that stuff.

[velvet]

14. yes indeed

Are you?

[mix]

16. no

[Callalily]

15. No :( n/t

[bikebloke]

18. Love is for other people.

It doesn't work out for me, so I learned to be content as a solitaire.

[NJmaverick]

19. Where is the love stinks option?

[RadiationTherapy]

20. I am in love with my wife; we fight every day.

Is Dostoevsky's 'notes from underground' the source of your signature line?

[Roon]

21. I am in love

we are taking it very,very slow however. We like how things are right now and don't want to disrupt it. I go see Jason once a week in Boulder and that is enough.We both are carrying a lot of baggage that we need to shed before we can take on a relationship..but yes...we are both in love with each other.

[Bunny]

22. .

:loveya:

[seemunkee]

24. Yes, for the last 33 years

The intensity, the way it is expressed, the passion may vary but we've been in love for a long time and hope to be for a long time to come.

[plcdude]

51. That is the

way it is for me too now going on 26 years.

[thistooshalllpass]

25. When you are in a partnership for many years and it's a loving one,

the feelings deepen. It's not the same as the infatuation phase, which is like a mania, but it's more profound.

[Pool Hall Ace]

26. No, but it's okay.

I was in love once, but it didn't work out.

However, I truly believe that love is optional.

[Forkboy]

27. Yes, but I wish I wasn't.

Hard to drop off the face of the Earth when you care about people, dammit. x(

[fizzgig]

29. very much so

[quakerboy]

30. I am

but she left me for Tori Amos. What can ya do?

[mix]

43. at least you got a good story to tell !

[quakerboy]

47. not that good

shes coming back tomorrow.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. No. Think I will give it a pass, thanks.

[old mark]

32. Yes I am - even with the woman I married.

Been over 16 years now....



so far, so good.

mark

[MrSlayer]

33. I am.

And growing more so every day. Weird how that happens.

[proteus_lives]

34. Once...

With a girl who was at the same time completely right and completely wrong for me. Haven't experienced the emotion since that relationship. Maybe someday......

[Generic Brad]

35. Does unrequited love count?

[Tikki]

36. Robbie loves Ari....

and Ari loves Robbie....works out just fine that way...



The Tikkis

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

37. Yeah

Been married for 6 years, together for 9. He's the one and I'm not a sentimental person. He's the fucking one. Sigh.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

38. Yeah

But it is unrequinted as always:cry:

[inna]

39. jeez, i'd do ANYTHING to be in love again.

i answered "no", and.... frankly, i'm surprised vy the poll's results (they seem to be counterintuitive to me) - although i'm really happy for the apparent majority of people here who are still in love!! :loveya:

[Moondog]

41. What inna said .... n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. It didn't take.

[mvd]

42. Romantic love, no

Have to overcome that shyness.

[Forkboy]

57. I suspect once you do you won't have any problems finding someone.

You're a super cool person and I know someone else will see that as well. :thumbsup:

[mvd]

58. Thanks, Forkboy

That's very nice of you. Even if I find love late, better late than never. :hi:

[Sultana]

44. NO!

Never been, never been loved. Meh, love is just not for me. :cry:

[Schema Thing]

48. (yet)

[EFerrari]

45. Apparently, I still am.

The anniversary stuff over the moon landing has generated a bunch of stuff on the teevee. Not only in local news here but also in venues like GritTV and BookTV and it's made it's way right into my dreams.

I grew up in a neighborhood full of NASA moon people and all of this coverage has brought back memories of my kidhood in Silicon Valley and my fiance Karl and, on the down side, how he died of carbon monixide along with his mom on a trip to Germany during our engagement. But mostly, of how all the dads in our subdivision were working on the moon project and how that was normal for us.

My dreams have been full of the moon and Karl and his moonman dad and of the old neighborhood all weekend. Some place in my mind doesn't know he's gone at all. We still play driveway pick up games with the kids. lol

[mix]

54. that is heartbreaking...love is eternal, it seems, for some

[Orrex]

46. Hell yes!

And if you knew My Good Babushka, you would be, too!

[Eurobabe]

49. Yep, and the best part is he's another DUer!

And he's flying to see me tomorrow. :loveya:

[Iggo]

50. I fall in love every day.

Happened on the bus this morning.

[Inchworm]

52. Yup

:loveya:

[PRETZEL]

53. Today I can still say yes,

but unfortunately it's getting harder and harder to keep telling myself that.

I know my wife loves me (is she "in love" with me?) That question I can't answer anymore with any confidence.

Too many days I feel more like the house servant than her husband.

[KansDem]

55. I've been in love with one woman since 1967

And have just realized that recently.

We became the best of friends, but never "boyfriend/girlfriend." We talked on the phone (almost) every night for years, I stopped by her house a few times to visit, and we did go out for our one and only date in 1973. Then I moved away and we didn't see each other for 34 years. I looked her up in 2005 and stopped by her work place in 2007. We've been communicating by email ever since (just a note every month or two).

There have been others, but she was and has been my "one and only!" :loveya:

I keep thinking of the Ray Charles classic:

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Only substituting her name for "Georgia"

[regularguy]

56. I Love my wife.

Unfortunately, I hate being married to her. :(

[BlueJazz]

59. I'm in Love with Bluejazz but I'm starting to suspect he's cheating on me.

[guitar man]

60. yes, I am

for almost 20 years now ;)
