No, the part about love not being temporary.
You guys should join me on the sidelines. It hurts to watch, but you can laugh more

Well he just made a statement that I have refuted several times. It's his belief, I'm not gonna push my beliefs down his throat.

This is going to be my last post addressing you because this seems like a huge waste of time. It's funny how you say you have a 4.0 GPA or whatever, but you clearly lack the ability to read.
Infatuation is an emotion. Love is a connection, an override of instinct. Infatuation is not a degree or stage of love, it is completely separate from love. Infatuation is someone else causing you to release dopamine, love is your brain completely throwing self-preservation out the window and putting someone else in its place. Let's say you and your partner are lit on fire at the same time.
Someone that is infatuated (you) would tell their partner beforehand that they'd definitely put the partner's fire out before attempting to put out their own. When it actually happens, your brain is going to think "Oh shit, I'm on fire, put it out," and you're going to stop, drop, and roll, completely forgetting about your partner. Talk all you want; that is what would happen. That's just natural instinct of self-preservation.
Someone that is in love doesn't need to tell their partner anything. When they are lit on fire, their brain thinks "Oh shit, they're on fire," and rushes to put out the fire on the partner before putting out their own. The process involves no conscious thought, because that natural self-preservation instinct has been replaced with a partner-preservation instinct.
But apparently, you cannot understand this. You are living proof that GPA and whatnot do nothing to show how intelligent a person is.

I completely understand what you are saying. I would risk my life for her.
I don't understand why 2 weeks shocks you people.
your friends must adore you
fuck i don't even know what i'd do with my partner if i was on fire
so i guess it's silly to say you truly love someone unless you absolutely know for sure
i love my mum
you have friends right
What do my friends have anything to do with this? :psyduck:
Infatuation is a beautiful thing because it completely brainwashes people.
You could tell an infatuated person a reason why they aren't in love, such as "You don't love her because you won't eat her poop," and their brain is so fixated on making them believe it is love that it convinces them that they've always been willing to do that.
Which is why it's ridiculously difficult convincing someone that they aren't in love. Give them a reason why they aren't and they'll turn around and say "But I do feel the way you said," and truly believe it because infatuation is manhandling their brain. Only truly intelligent people and/or people that have experience with real love have the capacity to take a step back and realize what they are feeling is infatuation.
k, gais, i barely no her, but since i has high grades i know i love her. i even tell her that i love her, that i would jump in front of a train to save her. also i told her that she is an awesome dopamine source, cause nothing but something exists.
Would you guys agree that there is a familial love versus a romantic love? If so, would you agree or disagree that one could have familial love for another person, despite there being no direct blood (biological) relation? And no, I am not trying to say wannabecollegeproguy feels that way should it exist in your opinion, I am just curious as to if I am alone or not on thinking like that.
you seem to have degraded all human interactions into their most base forms, chemical reactions, if this is how you are on a day to day basis (ignorant, obnoxious, generally annoying) then yeah

There is a difference between romantic love and platonic love, but those differences lay more on the surface than anything. At the core, both are still about developing a connection that goes beyond emotional boundaries.
Family love is platonic love. My brother was not biologically related to me in any way, but I still loved him just as much as I love my parents and sisters.
I think the main difference is that romantic love has the whole "I want to start a family with you," feeling attached to it, whereas platonic love is merely that connection I've been talking about and nothing more.
Somewhat relevant to the current discussion:
When my most recent ex and I broke up, it was a seemingly one-sided display of affection, I could feel that she didn't exactly have as strong an attraction to me. This became evident when she dumped me and went off with another, but the reason I was feeling great after the breakup was that I was testing her, almost as if egging her to end the relationship with me (I checked chatlogs during the week following the breakup and saw my past behavior). At one point I had even said, "Is this feeling only infatuation? If so, break my heart now so that it won't hurt me as badly as it could further down the road."
If you seriously are considering dumping her for her best friend, you're not in love. That's infatuation. You can [i]say[/i] that you'd do anything for her all you want, that doesn't mean jack shit if you were actually put in a position to [i]do[/i] instead of [i]talk[/i].
This collegegrad guy is an idiot from the experience I had talking to him a while back. Has he shown you his sexist viewpoint yet? Don't bother writing advice to him.
we don't take too kindly to no sexism
Oh God this guy.
Answer me this. How would you honestly feel if right now this girl you're so deeply in love with, turned around and told you that it didn't feel right anymore and that she wanted to leave you? How about if she told you she was seeing someone else, someone better for her than you?
What would you say/feel? How would you react to that?
Shit, that actually happened to me. Didn't feel [i]that[/i] bad actually, the biggest reaction was confronting the other guy and telling him "Don't you dare hurt her, she deserves better than that," and that was it.
Still feeling pretty good now.

been there, done that
cry a bit over the fact that a great person had left my life, then i'd get myself together and move on because that's the only thing to do
well it's not like i just read cosmo magazine and post excepts from it
i used to feel like that too, meet a girl and have it be amazing and i'd be like "THIS IS TRUE LOVE SHE TOTALLY LOVES ME WE'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER"
then when we'd break up after a hilariously brief period and i'd be in complete tears
i realized after a while that i was acting immature, i was looking for something that didn't exist, so i gave up that attitude and learned to see for what it truly is
i'm glad i did, that's how i ended up like i am right now, and i do enjoy it, even if it is short
i'll be a corpse in 100 years anyway
I was asking collegegrad, guys.
i don't care i like voicing my opinions
I know I know, I was talking to Sawah/Psychopath.
WHY DOES NOBODY UNDERSTAND ME.
Well that was a fun read.

Give the girl credit, she is getting better (and really, she is only 15).

So he is a sexist on top of being a racist? Oh this just gets better and better.
[QUOTE=collegegrad;28395539]You're saying that love is more than just a physiological thing. I disagree because we love things and people because they make us happy, the release of dopamine makes you happy, thus dopamine being released is love.
I'm sorry that I am a biochemist.[/QUOTE]
You think love is purely physiological? Unbelievable. To take a species capable of unique, abstract thought and dumb them down into animals is the ultimate stupidity. Oh and btw, I've got a lot more than 2 psych courses under my belt as well, so if I were you, I wouldn't underestimate my understanding of the situation.
You know, I ditched my faith years ago, but even as I forget the passages one after another, one pastor's words about love have stayed with me. He told me love was more than just a magical emotion that makes everyone happy and makes the world turn and it automatically works. That burning passion you feel, almost like an addiction for someone? That's not love. Love is far more subtle than that. Love is the man who, instead of bailing on his cancer ridden partner for a new prospect, sits with her until she makes it (or doesn't). Love is the man who would rather leave a woman than drag her down with him. Love is the man who lets her go, no matter how much it hurts. And conversely, if she loved you back, she would tell you to move on and find someone else, or she would go down with you, or she would come back.
Love is not magic; it is a conscious choice you make every time you get up. Are you willing to sacrifice for this person? Your infatuation-riddled self would answer "yes" to this question, but you have no idea just what kind of commitment it takes to be in love. I'm pretty sure Maverick does actually get it. I suspect thisispain and even ConvolutedLogic do as well. But you... you're a retard. I posted the reasons why you were wrong to think everything you have in my first post about you, and instead of taking what I said to heart, you just proved me right. So congratulations... not only do you not know what love is, but with the way you see things, you never will.
I like you maverick, you remind me of myself
I highly doubt you are even close to being as awesome as me.
No hes probably even more awesome than you.
