ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I do not think I have made this mistake often to be honest. Telling someone I love them takes me time, it is not something that I say casually. I do not see lust and love to be that far apart from each other to be honest. I can still say the handful of men I thought I loved in the romantic sense, well part of me still loves them in a distant sort of way. Even though I do not tell men I love them often or readily at first, it is not because the feelings were not there for a while, it is just that when you tell someone you love them the term is loaded with expectations, and when I say it I do not want them to feel that I have an expectation placed on them. To me real love is without expectations of anything, it is a feeling I own, not something I project on to someone else. I have felt that way since I was young. I hope I did not ramble too much No. This is exactly what i have been trying to figure out about my feelings in that last couple of weeks. Finally in words! Thank you. I always put my feeling in three catagories....lust, infatuation, and love. Trust me there are diffs. It would take me months before i say i love someone, because to me love is only something that grows from a healthy relationship. Now infatuation...that is when i have found someone that there just seems to be something great about them and us together. But lust, well....once all the physical has happened, i wakeup the next morning and want to kick them out. (Now that i have completely made myself sound like a slut, LOL.)
