[QUOTE="Elev8/Levit8, post: 513429, member: 5744"] Wise words Lozzie :) (and from one of such tender years, too!) The obvious analogy (i reck) is with drugs (bear with me a bit, dammit)! When you "fall in love" for the first time, there's nothing to touch it. It affects you in a way nothing else ever does. Falling in love from that time on brings on a similar set of feelings, but it's never as intense as that first time. Thing is, though, as with drugs "the more you do the better you get". You learn to appreciate the highs more, because you have experience of how fleeting they can be. you also learn more about yourself, and about what it [I]really[/I] is that you're looking for (Lozzie's point). The pure intensity of feeling is never there again, like it was the first time you fell in love. But you get more enjoyment out of falling in love as you gain experience, because you learn to appreciate it more. Maybe it's just me, but that's exactly how I felt about pills & stuff in the day... Also, chasing the "high" of falling/being in love is, in my opinion, what leads so many people to cheat on their partners, or into bad relationships... it's why (to paraphrase Lozzie again) people say "but I love him/her", even though the relationship is actually terrible. It's fear of being alone, with an element of chasing that unattainable high which we all get the first time we properly fall for someone. [/QUOTE]
