Relationships: That’s not love?
If you have ever been in love before – you know the feeling of euphoria and butterflies in your stomach. It’s as terrifying and exhilarating as jumping out of an airplane must feel like. There really is no other feeling quite like that! Sadly, once you have had that intense emotion, you pretty much judge all relationships by that standard.
Do you think it is a good thing, though? What happens when we spend so much time chasing that same feeling that we had once before? Is it fair to compare to that time you fell so hard?
If you don’t feel that same kind of emotion and passion for someone, does that mean you are really not in love?
A lot of people are lucky enough to have had that feeling once. So how do you know when it’s not love just because you feel differently?

Delvon – I have not seen the Notebook either. I don’t go for stuff that might seem TOO mushy.

delvon – I think that’s Nicholas sparks. I haven’t read Nicholas sparks but I live near a barnes and noble and when he makes appearances there the entire shopping center parking lot is on lock.

Agreed on NIck Nolte, Leggs. He is turned nasty! Blech!
Now, Sean Connery? Robert Redford? Definitley hotter as they get older. I swear I would listen to Sean Connery read the phone book… And Jeremy Irons could switch out on the reading to give him a break every once in awhile…

Now Love Jones is more tolerable. Watching Nia Long holds my attention in any movie.

swiss – Yes, that’s definitely giving Pops a reason to stick around a little longer and not to give up. I know my little niece is a fire ball of energy so i’m sure lil mocha will be the same freshness of life.
Single and Happy Terrific Tuesday!

S/H – I typically cruise royal Caribbean and book through my travel agent. RC is pretty good about coming down on the single supplement.

I dont Believe that butterflies are a sign of love. I feel as if it just means that you are in deep like for the person. If the person is able to keep giving you those feelings over and over again then sooner or later is can be looked at as falling in love with a person or being in love .
