I am quite a romantic person. In the sense that I believe in pure love, whether that love be with a man or a woman, you can experience a breath-taking connection with another person, that somewhere out there is your soulmate. I'm 18 years old this year and it is sad to say that I have never been in love (had a romantic love). I wonder if I'm weird. I'm always envious of other people who have experienced love, and I love to listen to love stories, so in this thread tell me about your experiences. Experiences of unrequited love, innocent love, young love, any love story that you can tell.
I once developed feelings for my best friend, but it wasn't returned. Outcome wasn't that negative though, it brought us closer together and we were able to still be friends to this day. Actual dating wise, I've only been in online relationships. -shrug- What I felt for some of my friends felt more real to me.
Thank you for sharing. I can relate to that, I have a lot of close female friends that sometimes the line between friendship and romance can blur a bit and it has you thinking. I'm glad that experience bought you closer
I've never flirted with another girl or even made it obvious that I was interested, I was still trying to figure out the whole who and what am I thing in my head when my world got turned upside down and sideways by someone I've known all of my life. We've been best friends since we were like 3 years old and were constantly in each other's back pocket all of the time. I was staying over Leslie's house for the weekend and an innocent touch started my heart racing and it turned out that we'd both have had feelings for each other that we never talked about... till then. We're both 21 now... and we're first cousins. To say that our parents were taken aback would be an understatement but... things have been working really well for almost a year now. Neither of us saw this coming. Love is love, no matter where you find it.
That is the cutest story ever, oml Thank you so much for sharing. That is so beautiful and so lovely that your feelings were reciprocated and that you're both living so happy and well now. You have my congratulations. I absolutely love stories like that. I guess the saying love takes you by surprise is an understatement Again, thanks for sharing.
I sometimes wonder if there were female acquaintances that I had that flirted with me. Is complimenting one's boobs or playing footsie flirting? Looking back, I didn't even question it. Am I obtuse? Not exactly a love story, sorry
I'm 25 and I have never been in love or even dated anyone. I never had the opportunity. I just hope all that true love soul mates thing actually exists.
Lol Lol, I don't think your obtuse. I guess compliments and playing footsie is a form of love, although perhaps not romantic love. Lol thank you for the enjoyable comment I had fun reading it.
25 is still young and that means you have an entire lifetime to find someone that you're meant to be with. I'm not sure myself whether soul mates actually exist myself but that doesn't mean you can't control your fate and find someone really special. Thank you for commenting. (I hope u live long and prosper❤❤)
I almost feel guilty after reading so many of us struggling to find someone. Dating is crazy enough as it is without compounding it with societies norms and our own self consciousness.
No worries! I think society will probably take a long time to understand that, unfortunately. But, I feel as long as it's mutual and there's no power play/coercion, etc, it's fine. Love those pictures though!!
