Can you be IN love with more than one person?

[Chunkee]

So many people out there in the world, it seems odd that there is only one person for another...in regard to intense emotions and bonding of love. Clearly, gender has different slants on this... please discuss.

I certainly hope so. But shopping for them all at Christmas time is certainly a bitch!

 

[jtusa]

Yes, you can, because I am in love with both Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Alba.

I guess it's possible, although I've never been in love with more than 1 person at the same time.

I've never personally been in a situation where I felt I really loved two women at the same time but I do think it'd be possible.

I just got in contact with an old gf after a lapse of about 8 years. She was the sweetest girl and loved me dearly but circumstances were that we couldn't be together. She's still the same but she's in a relationship and so am I. I still care about her but also for my current gf so its kind of complicated.

Infatuation (feelings that appear to be exactly like love, so close that you think it is love): yes.

Real love (hard work to make one relationship work): no, there isn't enough time in the day to devote that amount of work to multiple people.

Element of truth in that.

Move to the Middle East and marry many loving wives.

Why the middle east. Just move to Utah.

The more you love, the more you can love ? and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.

In lust or in love?

Unconditional love, possible, but I'm sure that is rare.


Now being "In Lust".. fvck yeah..

 

[jds2006]

Yup it's definitely possible. There are so many people out there, there's bound to be many who can be your partner. But that doesn't mean I think we should all go around having multiple wives or girlfriends.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

LOVE (not family love), no... To love 2 persons you would have to love each of them 50%, which wouldnt be true love, so its not possible IF you love someone 100%, it leaves 0% for someone else... And thats why when youre in love you dont really care if some hot chick comes nearby, well you do because of the sexual aspect, but if she tried to seduce you, its wasted time... For everyone who replies with "bullshit" you're obviously not in love

'Cause the state of Utah is lame and you can't carry large swords on your side at all times out in the public.

We need to clarify something for you. You are in love with you palm.

[JeffreyLebowski]

I've made love to 2 women at the same time, does that count?

Why would I tell them? I'd get in trouble.

 

[ebaycj]

Yes you can, but you probably shouldn't be. It's a situation that almost never ends well.

EDIT: except apparently in JeffreyLebowski's case, see a couple posts up :laugh:

 

[ATLien247]

By loving one, you'd be betraying the other. You cannot truly love someone if you are betraying them, can you?

 

[Scarpozzi]

Trix are for kids.

 

[moshquerade]

Yes. I don't want to elaborate only to say love is a powerful emotion that is hard to limit.

 

[Compton]

Allah allows you to have four wives, so yes it is possible.
