Yeah, how stupid, to think that having sex with someone could be misconstrued as love... I hope she learned her lesson. Dimwit. Rolling Eyes

No kidding. I don't know where these boneheads get the idea that love and sex are somehow connected.

maybe something's wrong with me...I'm a girl and I've never said those words to anyone...I'm beginning to think maybe I'm not capable of loving someone, saying the L word is so hard!

Yep. There is definitely something wrong with you. If I could put my finger on it I would say you are suffering from being "normal"

What happens in this state is that the sufferer believes that love actually involves huge personal cost despite the immense gains to be had from such an investment. These wierdos may actually go through life without ever meeting someone they feel that they can commit to totally because, under their delusion they fail to lower the standards that they realise true love demands. In the early stages, they truly believe themselves to be incapable of meeting the high demands that true love places on an individual.

With such a diagnosis the prognosis may well be life-long happiness with just one partner Shocked By definition, such life-long partnerships nearly always terminate in death.

If you are serious you are one sad chicken Laughing

I'm pushing ten years with the one and only woman for me. It just gets better and better. If I had traded her in after a few months instead of giving my all to her for eternity, I would have missed out on all of this. You've got to give to get. Boy, am I looking forward to giving her my all for the next ten years Cool

Not kidding. Everybody I know who says this is really bad at explaining it so I'm constantly looking for that elusive explanation.
