IDKY but it seems like ever since i met my boyfriend, i've been doing things i never would normally imagine myself doing. What is it about love that makes us do these crazy things? Opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

simple answer from me:\nconcentrating on the love itself diverts your attention from all of the other things, that's why =)

Um...okay I wrote something on your first question before in a fanfiction. Don't mind the weird name:\n\nYukito sat there thoughtfully and said, “I honestly, don’t know. I’ve never experienced love. I’ll try my best. But... I imagine love as something that takes is own course and is one of the things that fate cannot control. It’s a feeling of  hurt, and joy. Words cannot describe it. It’s like a sacrifice, yet a joy, a curse, yet a gift. We have the gift to love, but love is a strong feeling that can control other senses. Just by hearing someone you love say “I hate you.” could make you do anything.”\n“It’ll make you be angry or sad or make you feel like a total idiot. It is deceiving and sneaky. When you think you love someone, one day you may just think “I don’t like them.”. It leaves you even more alone in the end than when you didn’t love them. But as you go on you gain an understanding of what love is, and maybe be able to find it. No one forces us to love, it just happens. And we ourselves in the end are responsible."\n\nOkay, I'm a pessimist that doesn't reslly beleive in love (it's nice to imagine though) so if you don't agree, don't fret. The world is a big place, you're probably not alone. You sound young (not that I'm not either) so you'll bounce back. I've got a lot more crap on stuff like this so if you want to read, I suggest clicking the link on my profile. Don't worry, love will find you. I hope I did SOMETHING to help.

Your boyfriends loves you very much.\n\nIf he didn't he wouldn't put up with the way you behave, especially not at the age of 20. There are millions of young girls out there that he could have but he chose YOU. He loves YOU and he only wants to be with YOU.\n\nHe can't show you that every minute of every day because that simply isn't normal. You would probably get fed up with it if he did, you would feel smothered.\n\nYou need to sit and imagine what life would be like without him. How much you would miss him and how much you don't want that. You have to appreciate him and concentrate on the good points of your relationship.\n\nWhen you feel the rage start building, count to ten or walk away. He is much more likely to come after you than if you scream, cry and act crazy. When you do that you are actually making yourself unattractive to him and let's face it, if someone was screaming in your face and acting crazy, you would want to get away from them wouldn't you?\n\nYou are definitely NOT crazy, don't worry. You are very young and your feelings for this boy are obviously very strong. Love can make us do crazy things! Just calm down, take your time and let him have some space sometimes.\n\nYou should also have time away from him to spend with your own friends. If you never leave his side to go do something different how are you ever going to have anything to talk about? You could be telling him funny stories about things you did with your friends and making him laugh and love you even more. It will make you more interesting - it's very easy at your ages to get bored with a relationship. You have to keep it going but make it fun. \n\nHowever, hurting yourself is serious stuff and is usually the product of low self-esteem. Don't be afraid of the doctor - he/she can actually help you. They certainly wouldn't think you are crazy or lock you away. There are thousands of young people with similar issues. One day you will look back and think 'I can't believe that was me'. Unfortunately, it's all part of growing up.\n\nYou have taken the first very big and VERY important step. You are talking about it. Don't be afraid to talk about it. Your feelings are what makes you the person you are, never be afraid to express them (calmly). Please talk to your doctor - you will be surprised how kind and helpful they will be.\n\nTake care x

Well my lady and i are into our 10 month and we met when i saw her across the mall.I have never walked up and introduced myself like that before,but i had this urge that couldn't stop.\nWe are soul mates,and are happier with every day that passes.I am glad that you have found love,and as you can tell from your own experience that it is possible.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone is all apart of life. I think it's great that your boyfriend feels comfortable sharing this with you. Try it, only you and him will ever know about it.

Honey, I am 28 yrs. and have been with my fiance for a total of 10 years now. In the beginning, we did have more sex than we do now. How long have you two been together? I totally disagree that it means you are not in love with him. I have more love for my man every year that passes by, even though now we aren't intimate like before. Sure, we love to be with eachother, it's just not the most important thing on our list to do. We have grown to be totally comfortable with that and it doesn't mean there is something wrong...that's my opinion anyways. You should try new and exciting things, even if it is just a laugh with eachother.

Oh my goodness! I was JUST like you with the Touchy Feely. I wasn't that at all when I started to date my boyfriend because I've never been used to that emotional display. I was so used to hangin' out w/the boyz that it just rubbed off on me. I'm used to it now because it's just his way of showing me how he feels. But don't let him get too "Fresh"

my bf i met on answers. it's going great. other guys i've met online....and we went out for a while. so i'm not opposed to meeting someone online as long as you know in time you'll meet each other. it IS possible to fall in love this way. :)

I "love" and applaud your question,,, thank you so much.\n\n   To know LOVE isn't dependent of having another, that it's directed at,,at least not initially. certainly it's a wonderful thing to SHARE.\n\n   The emotion is erradic, irrational, often spontaneous, and confusing,,, but it happens to be one of the most intense experiences, we as humans hopefully can enjoy.\n\n   If you cannot Love youself, for who you are, what you are about, and even if you don't PROJECT THAT, it will overflow, be noticed,and enjoyed by others. Believe it!!!!\n\nRev. Steven

There is real love. I have been attached to or dependent on  people that I didn't necessarily love. I have called these experiences love out of desperation, but I have also felt true love for others. I just haven't often had it returned. I've had people swear that they did love me, but it was more need than anything--you can tell who does and does not love you by refusing to be a door mat. The ones who remain love you.

Funny, that's exactly what I'm working on right now.  Love makes us feel good.  I love the sun, I love the rain.  I love children, I just love to wake up in the morning.  It makes me feel good.  I am changing for the better, even though sometimes I'm surrounded by negativity, I try not to let that get me down.  If I cannot change the situation, then I walk away from it, because life is too short to waste your energy on anything but love.\n\nThanks for asking!!!!  I LOVE YOU TOO!!!

I know exactly how you feel!  I've avoided relationships for a long time because I was afraid of getting hurt.  I've been with my current guy for a little less than a year now and it's been the most anxiety-filled year that I've had in a long time.  There were many times when I almost felt like running away because the fear was overwhelming.  But the thing that makes me stay is the realization that in order to get the things I want most in life (not just in relationships) takes an amount of risk.  If we play it safe all the time, we'll never get hurt, but life would be bland.

I've totally been there. It sounds weird to people that haven't, but it takes some getting used to. Don't think he's weak, or trying to trick you...just appreciate & enjoy it. What did I do? Well I married him!

It is normal! Its like a "what if" type of problem. I think our subconscious asks what would happen if we were together. And if you care about someone you cant turn those feelings off or erase them. Your normal. Take care!!

Yes. I never thought that "love at first sight" was possible until it happened to me. I figured it as being something made up by people that were in love with love. I'm not sure if there is a scientific explanation for this kind of chemistry, but there is certainly something that happens differently to anyone that experiences this! After 2 1/2 years of making sure it wasn't a fluke, we were married six months ago. He still makes my heart speed up just looking at him!
