Yes.

My dad said he loved me

Love always finds a way to stab you in the back eventually.

yes but I like making myself 100% vulnerable to love. Makes it so satisfying even if I can end up more hurt. I try to feel every emotion as powerfully as possible

Love always finds a way to stab you in the back eventually.

Not necessarily. You're just in league with the wrong folks.

Over 50% of registered marriages fail. Fact is, people jump too early. People get into things and before they know it, it turns into a mess. Look at couples these days. How fast they break apart, or how often they do.

The plain and simple fact is, finding somebody that's a good fit with you is hard. Extremely hard. It isn't so much that love is a backstabber, it's that people are subject to change. Change is a variable and a wrench in the gears of the best laid plans.

Love is not a backstabber. It's people. It always comes down to the people. It takes a long, long time for us to fully mature. To reach our true end state and adult life. Even in your 20's, you're still changing. Even as you grow older, you're changing. Your mind, your thoughts, your experiences.

The real challenge is finding somebody who has similar interests, a similar mind as yours, and one who can keep up with the changes over time, alongside you.

It's all trial and error and you've either got to push through until the dust finally settles or you take my route. Don't bother.

I have all kinds of love I feel...

I'm not sure about Love for a person outside of my family though.

Nope.

No.

I have. Back like 2 years ago, I went camping with my parents and with another family my parents know. They brought their daughter with them and and we were both like really shy around each other for the weekend. I managed to get her number and decided to ask if she wanted to just see a movie, as friends.  While it wasn't a date, it was the first time I had been out with a girl by myself.....nobody else. But our parents kinda pushed us to do it so we were a bit uncomfortable. We ended up having a decent time, we texted each other for a while, but that was it. The thing though is that the more time I was with her the more I fell in love with her. At the time I was too beta to ask her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. Now two years latter I am a single beta male. 

Thinking about it, I liked this hunk in High school, then he did drugs and stuff.

Killed my lady boner

Yep. Still am.

That sudden realization I've been a part of this Bunge community for so long that I actually remember you making a thread when this happened.

I remember that too, but I remember it being from a different user.

I remember a Kinder thread like that which ended with them in the same physics lab or something.

Could be, I don't remember that well.

Like Das said, I'm almost certain it was Kinder.
