You know you are in love when...

Urban Ranger · March 17, 2003, 23:53

There's just too much gloom, doom, and destruction around. This place needs some cheering up.

So, describe how you feel (or would feel) when you are in love.

Any gloom, doom, and destruction sayers will be dealt with severely.

So I lead off with:

You know you are in love when thoughts of her brightens you up, no matter how bad your day has been.

[Feel free to substitute "her" mentally with whatever preference you have]

You know you are in love when you don't mind driving 2 hours per trip to see her. Sadly, this indicator works both ways. You know you don't love her if you say, "F**k this, I'm not driving all the way there."

Felch · March 18, 2003, 00:05

You know you're in love when you can sit there, think for a second about her, and have a stupid stoner grin on your face because you know she's the best girl in the entire world.

Urban Ranger · March 18, 2003, 00:10

So true, so true

Zero · March 18, 2003, 00:10

When nothing else gets my junior up. (in all seriousness)

I honestly don't know if I'm in love, or if I'm just horny, or if there isn't really any difference between the two. Such is life.

If you just want to, *cough* relieve your desires, it's lust. If you genuinely care about her, it's love.

loinburger · March 18, 2003, 00:31

Oh sure, but it's always difficult to figure out whether I really do want to spend the rest of my life (or at least a sizable portion of it) with a girl, or whether I'm just being a doughy-eyed romantic who's going to get wanderlust in another week or two. The idea of going through life alone scares the bejeezus out of me, as does the idea of getting married, and the conflicting emotions are a bit probematic at times. :shrugs: Such is life.

devilmunchkin · March 18, 2003, 00:32

ah yes..
when their smile and voice are enough to make your day and when you'd die or leave just so THEY would be happy....

Well my rule is if she's the only thing that arouses me as of this moment, its love. Not exactly a good romantic way of determining it, but it seems to hold true in most cases

Japher · March 18, 2003, 00:34

you know your in love when your you have become so stupid that you marry her, and then... you love her even more.

Feeling PC today, UR?

When you start picking up her mannerisms.

Sarxis · March 18, 2003, 01:07

You know you are in love when...

you take a potion to make it seem like you are dead, only to wake and realize your lover has killed themself, so you take your own life by detonating a dirty bomb strapped to your back while walking alone on a snowy night in Seattle.

loinburger · March 18, 2003, 01:08

On a related note, you know you're in love when you try to assassinate the President, just to impress a girl.

Skanky Burns · March 18, 2003, 01:49

When you get up early and spend hours ripping up stinky carpet to make her happy.

Imran Siddiqui · March 18, 2003, 02:05

Aww... UR, a side of you we've never seen

.

You know you are in love when all you think about all day is seeing her in the evening.

Urban Ranger · March 18, 2003, 02:34

obiwan18,

What PC? I am just your New Age Sensitive Guy

Imran,

Not so. I wrote about things such as "Geeks as Modern Day White Knights."

Urban Ranger · March 18, 2003, 02:39

When thoughts of her make you all warm and fuzzy inside, bear a silly grin on your face, and nice and mushy to other people.

You must have been arguing with Asher or something because I must have tuned that out

Though arguing with him myself gives me a newfound appreciation for you

You're just bitter that you didn't understand the true definition of mathematics either, and had your own argument fall onto 'well the dictionary is wrong!' as well..

Asher, the big boys are talking now. The kids table is over there.

Are you sure I'd be the best influence on children?

Especially when you are playing bridge.

You know you are in love when you ignore all the bad times, and only concentrate on the good times.

Urban Ranger · March 18, 2003, 04:29

"That's only a flash wound."

Ming · March 18, 2003, 04:31

But it's true...

When all you can think about is the crap... there is no longer love

Urban Ranger · March 18, 2003, 04:49

Agreed.

Kramerman · March 18, 2003, 06:31

God damn... reading thru this thread has made me terriblely sad...

It has reminded me of all the wonderful feelings i once had... adn still do have for someone, actually, but they no longer have them for me, but for another man

Its terrible. I wonder endlessly now what i did to ruin what we had...

Paul Hanson · March 18, 2003, 07:28

You know you're in love when you can't stop thinking about someone for nine months, despite the fact that she's galavanted off down to uni several hundred miles away and coincidentally happens to have a boyfriend down there and you're so f*cking jealous that you......

...forget about it and go back to writing your thrilling essay on detente.
