Did a thread search and I came up with nothing. I apologize if this has been already done.

I heard someone say this and believe it to be true.

I think love is like dinner....each plate tastes a little different...but fulfills what you need at that particular time. People grow and what they are looking for changes. As a matter of fact, by the time you are enjoying a new one...sometimes you even forget why the other ones had any significance.

If I thought it only came up once I would have retired and became a monk!!!

Thank god it does not.

I think I have been in love at least three times in my life and I plan on it to happen again, real soon!

You are right. Never give up on love.

Now where is my waiter???

LOL

You know,i am the type that thinks true love only comes 1 time in a persons life.Sometimes your lucky,and you get it right away,sometimes not.And some of us,we settle for what we think is true love

Actually Wednesday...I personally believe it does only happen once. The relationships that we have through our lives...we know inside our souls when the "real" one enters and the "real" one leaves. But that doesn't/shouldn't diminish the other relationships that we allow to occur...they all bring something into our lives that otherwise we would have never experienced. And life is all about the experiences!!!!

I agree with this, as we grow our wants and needs change, so having someone fulfill the wants and needs also changes

... hmm ... hope this isn't some sort of foreshadowing though

Since it hasn't happened to me yet, I HOPE it only happens once. Unless of course HE has been in love before...

Yeah.

I believe that your one true love happens ONCE in a lifetime...however we can still be in love with others throughout our lives..each decade we learn more and our preferences change..each love is different yet significant at the time.

Love doesn't happen just once in a lifetime, if it does, then you are very close minded. Sometimes you "think" your in love, but your not, it's called lonliness. In other cases, you are in love, but your significant other isn't, but you move on... When you can find somebody to compliment your lifestyle, without trying to complicait it, you have found a good match, but again, life isn't perfect, as I hope we all know this. Take life day by day, and just adjust to life and relationships as you have to. We are all looking for a good relationship, so don't play somebody, unless you like to get played..

absolutely not.
we just decide that it does.. cause its always easyer to think you lost the ONE.. then actually take the time to find the ONE
and.. hello... love only happens once? the ONE only comes along once?
UH.. wheres the one now? yeah.. sure seems like he/she was the one now doesn't it.. get real.

Posters seem to be missing something here.True Love is not selfish,Our about filling OUR NEEDS its about giving unconditionally,If your just seeking to have MY NEEDS met it can happen often by a lot of different people.

I believe that we must put ourselves and our needs first in the big ol dating world... too often we settle ... and push aside our needs.. and our wants.. so that we make someone else happy.
yeah.. that works out splendidly.. when the other person is the only one thats truely happy.. but congrats.. you've done a job well done.. someones super happy because of you.. hope you didn't dish any of those needs and wants of ur own to satisfy anothers.
If our needs and wants dont mesh.. its just time to move... no matter how great a person he/she could be.. its not enough.
we have to demand what we want from people.. and holy hell.. I hope they continue to demand it from me.
thanks.
have a good day. hahaha

The act of giving in itself can be very rewarding and has merit of its own.

I have been truly in love twice so I disagree. I think perhaps that some people feel so badly burned the first time around that they refuse to let themselves fall in love again. Maybe a reasonable facsimile, but to be truly in love involves surrendering to it. Many people are afraid to be that vulnerable again.

I agree, many people are too afraid to let themselves fall in love because they have been burned in the past. A lot of people are very remorseful, but don't see it in themselves.

Or they do see it, but don't care to deal with it.

Does love happen only once in life?


I really hope not. Some must go through misfortunes in relationships in order to know what they want or need in a meaningful relationship. I been in love, deeply in love, and by that I been hurt by that love and that hurt cutts very deep. So, with the lessons I've learned along the way, I know now how to treat a woman like a woman and take care of my responsibilities in that unit.

OP, let's hope love finds it's way back to a broken heart again..

Love doesn't happen once in life but remember the first time you had chocolate. There will never be a first love again.

You know when you've had the best and you know when you're just having regular chocolate.

When you want love or look for it you look for the Hagan Daz and not the no name brand

Some ppl can think that every love is like Hagan Daz but once you know the difference you know that Hagan Daz doesn't happen everyday

Sinatra said it best...

Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what brought us to this miracle we've found

There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
