I need to speak to someone who has been, or is currently "in love."

	They are just words. You are not physically harmed by them, so your reactions are unnecessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Words can hurt! Emotionally. They can hurt your feelings, how do you not know that? That's a huge part of being in love with someone, by the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No words spoken to me have ever damaged me in any way. How are words related to an emotional connection? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I don't even know where to start with you...

If you already like/love someone and they say something uplifting, it makes you feel good. If they say something mean, it hurts your feelings more than when a stranger or someone you don't like says it. When they hurt your feelings, it's more painful, because you trust them.

Or if you don't already like/love someone, something they say can make you like them more, or like them less.

	This is based off personal experience? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Well yeah, but most people should be able to tell you that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	I will record it as such. Is that all you know? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Well no, but I'm not sure what else to tell you. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	Which are you, someone in love or someone who experienced it in the past? This is relevant to the previous information you have given me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm... well... it's hard to say exactly... I've thought I was in love before, but looking back, I don't think I was, compared to now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	What is different now? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	I'm older and wiser! And I guess because I've met guys who are more worthy of my time than the ones before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Does love become easier to understand with knowledge and age? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	I really hope so... but something tells me it's still confusing no matter how much you know or how old you are. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	What tells you that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well, adults seem to have the same problems, and you'd think they'd be better at it. That and it's pretty unpredictable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Romantic love is unpredictable? What I heard about love for family is that it is rather stable. What makes romance so volatile? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well... love for family has had a really long time to get right. For close families there's no question about whether someone loves you back or not, and even if they hurt your feelings you aren't wondering if they're going to stop loving you. I guess it's kind of like having a safety net. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	A safety net... So love is for the weak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't say that! I think it makes you stronger. When you know your family and friends are there for you, it makes things easier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	The truly strong can stand without support. That is what I have seen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Everyone needs support sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glitched 2009-10-02 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	I don't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sakurablossom 2009-10-02 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Well, if that's true, you're an exception to the rule. But even if you don't need it, it's nice to have it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
