Yep, I am actually happily in love since more than 7 years now
It is really hard to describe, but you will be able to feel the difference of being really in love and just being like,
somewhat in love ? I'm not sure how to say that correctly, haha.

The boy I was with before my now fiancé, I knew him since kindergarden, didn't had contact with him since years tho.
It was randomly through a friend that we met again, didn't even realise it's him, lol. Anyways.. at this time I though
"That's the one!" but as time passed, I've realised that it's not true. I've got annoyed of his flaws (which we all have)
and just wanted to spend some time alone, which he never let me (he was very controlling, but whatever, that's another story).
Anyways, fast forward.. my now fiancé has of course also a few flaws that I can't stand, like he loves to whistle and it's one of
my pet peeves, I just can not stand it, yet I will get mad at him but still feel the love and connection between us.
It's really weird and hard to describe. But it's a great feeling to be really in love.

Nope never. I don't think l will ever because it might be too uncomfortable for me and plus l'm ugly so that's another thing. Funny thing, couple of friends had crushes on me and l knew about it because its easy to tell but l still treated them as friends. Anyways I already planned everything for my future and l didn't add in of having a partner which l will never be ready for.

I was engaged but then broke it off couple of years or more ago. I did have a crush on my best guy friend but the feelings weren’t mutual (I still may have one but haven’t heard from him in a long time :/)

I had a few crushes when I was in high school, but I have never been in love and never will.

Currently, yes. And once before.

I have fallen in love many times. Sometimes stronger than others and most of the time it ends in my heart being broken, because I am not a very attractive person so ive been rejected a lot. ^^

Short answer: No

Long answer: No, unfortunately I haven't. I've only had a handful of crushes over the years, the first one starting near the end of Grade 7, and none of them turned into a relationship (don't need to mention anything else ). It hasn't helped me as well that I don't go out (pre-pandemic, not just a recent pandemic thing), so there's not really been the chance to meet people since I graduated university. Definitely need to give online dating a go sometime soon.

I do want to take a more demiromantic approach to dating (without, uh, actually being demiromantic), so that on top of the whole "not meeting people" thing means my odds of actually being in love any time soon are rather low, but, I firmly believe that one day I will fall in love with somebody and spend the rest of my life with them. Just gotta be patient and hold onto that belief.

i think i've only really fallen in love once, maybe twice. i'm hesitant to count my "first" time because it wasn't a very good experience and i was still pretty young (maybe 15).... and i still AM young. but i was also less emotionally mature. it's hard to describe how i felt back then because it was so new!

the only other time was with my closest friend. we talk every day and, while i don't think our intention was ever to flirt, we sort of flirted 2 years ago and eventually started dating. it felt so home-y and comfortable and natural hanging out with him and seeing his face, i've never felt so close to another person. i really felt ready to live the rest of my life with him. it was a really nice feeling :]

Spoiler: sorta venty stuff, nothin too deep

he broke up with me a while ago (we were together for about a year). we have a very unique situation and it's not really something i wanna share here, BUT i do wanna say there was no ill will and it was nothing wrong with me. we are still best friends and talk every day, but it's really hard to let go of my feelings for him and i'm still very heartbroken over it. i'm hoping we can get back together someday or i can lose my feelings and love somebody else eventually.... the latter just feels impossible, because i've hardly had any crushes in my life. it almost feels like it would be sad to love anyone else and i feel like that's holding me back in some way

one thing's certain, i don't think i can love anyone i haven't first become good friends with!

i've been eyeing this thread for over a week now because i wanted to contribute and didn't know how to word it lmao. anyways, while i can't quite say yes, i have fallen in love -- i'm one of those people who considers Being In Love as something Super Serious i guess versus just Loving Someone (and i have loved plenty of people in different ways, pretty much almost always platonically) -- i can definitely say instead that my current girlfriend is the closest i've come to that feeling and is someone who i can see myself falling in love with if we continue to stay together for a while, and i do very much adore her and am smitten as is. so not quite, but maybe someday.
