I don't think there are different grades of love ... all love is just as important. Now there is a difference between love, infatuation and lust. I think it's just that when we're young, we don't know the difference between the three.Heidi IP: Logged |

Heidi, you are so right. I'm all backwards on this thing! I always begin with lust, then love (if it happens) then that love turns into infatuation. It can be a little hard to determine which is which. Well, it was until I "finally" experienced the 2nd one in it's "true" form. Good luck Moonat! IP: Logged |

Wait till your my age guys (62), lust will deffently take a backseat to the other two. It will add to the relationship, but it won't be the driving force like it was when I was 21.:Grin: Lanny IP: Logged |

thank you so much for your quick replies...
i always seem to write new topics when i am in the middle of strong emotion....i really think that my liking him for SOOO long is my lesson...or one loong lesson made up of many different lessons...it might not make much sence but i have learnt so much about myself since liking him..i never have (nor will i)told him that i like him....i don't think its time (if that makes sense), i'll tell you why i think it's strange though...well i have liked him on and off for like three years, and its really weird because i make new friends all the time, but the ones i get really attached to...he likes them as well...i always feel like we are thinking the same thing....we'll be in a room together (with lots of other people) and i'll look at some poster and think something, then just at that second i hear him talking about the same poster and saying exactly what i was going to say.....but here's the real kicker....we haven't actually spoken to each other for like two years.....it could be a clouded head (and i definately think it is sometimes) but it's like i don't need to talk to him....like i understand him completely....sometimes i think we were brother and sister or something like that in past lives, we are so similar...he's a scorp and i'm an aries, so it's even more strange...i can't explain everything...it would take too long and i wouldn't be able to put it into words the "right" way to explain it properly...thanks for your posts again guys  ------------------

This may be an unsavory answer, but it really has a lot to do with the maturity of the couple involved and how much responsibility they have for any and all consequences. One can have a couple in their late teens to early twenties raising a family and paying the mortgage, or a couple in their 40s who won't be authentic to each other and do very hurtful things---yet both would be considered Love.Blind is subjective, it depends on how you look at it.

It makes no difference how old you are. But I think the reason young love gets beat up, is because you have so much growing up, and searching to do. I know it sounds corny but I think it's true.With everything that comes at you, you don't feel the same after a while. Same goes for adult love!!  Trust me, when it comes to these situations, just follow your heart, you really can't listen to other people's stupid advice, they don't exactly know how you feel. Follow your intution, read Tarot cards, go to sleep and dream your problem. Listen to yourself. Love is Love you can't disect it. Lust only get's high with physical attraction, infatuation is obsession, and love is well ALL of that rolled into a big ball, so that you can sulk on it for the rest of your life!  -StarLover  IP: Logged |

Possibly the most subjective human experience of the lot...Like an infinity, it is pointless to try and quantify, sadly. IP: Logged |

The best thing in the world is to marry your first love because the intensity and the innocence involved is much more than you will ever have for anyone else in your entire lifetime.------------------

I don't really think love is blind. Love just sees so much, and because it sees it all, it's willing to see less and overlook some things.I'm an aries as well Moonat, and I have been in the exact situation as you are talking about. I'm not sure if it is love, because I am truly in love now for the first time and this feeling is unlike anything I've ever had before...even for the guy I had a crush on for 4 and a half years..I thought I loved him, but now I realize I was more in love with the idea of him, rather than actually him. I don't think there is a difference in young love and grown-up love, but I think you just learn more about it as you get older. I'm still young (18) but I've been learning more and more everyday, so I can just imagine what an older person must know about it. Well, I wish you luck with this guy!! Maybe you should try talking to him someday again, you never know where it could lead to  Annesia IP: Logged |

princess, what you said about loving the idea of him, i think that's it....you know how everyone has that picture of "that" person in their head? well he's it....nearly...not anymore, i've realised now even if he does like me back i wouldn't want to do anything about it, it's just that by now i have analysed it sooo much (which unfortunately i do a lot) that it would just be too weird, i hope to be friends with him again some day, but that's all i really want.Ps. i'm so happy for you!!! i hope it makes your dreams come tru! ------------------
