following on the lines of keeping this forum a happy place for all who dwell here i would like to start a new thread... the idea is simple...

if you fall in love record the fact that you did here... all those then who are contemplating giving up the search will then see that there is hope...

and i will set the ball rolling...

six months ago my life was somewhat different to how it is now...

i was married to my teenage sweetheart, a well paid job, had two nice cars, a lovely apartment down in victoria quays, i took holidays all over the place whenever i wanted... then one day the wife came home and told me that it was over... little did i know at the time that there was another guy involved... anyway i had just quit my job to work on opening a gallery to sell my pictures...

so i was jobless, houseless, wifeless... the funny thing is that shortly afterwards i realised that it was all for the best (I also found the forum then too)... something had been missing... just after christmas i suddenly found myself the happiest i had ever been in life... nothing could phase me... i woke with a smile every day.

anyway just under 6 weeks ago i packed my bags and flew half way around the world on a voyage of self discovery... and boy have i found what i was missing... i have found somewhere i want to call home, friends by the dozen... i feel at home here... my days are spent enjoying all that is around me. the wonders of this land never cease to amaze me. what is more i have found love... this time it feels different... this time i know who i am... will i end up staying here?... probably. will be together for the rest of our lives?... who knows... but what i can say is that i have never felt like this before and it is truly amazing!

for me at least it just goes to show that you never know what is around the corner... good or bad it all happens for a reason making us who we are destined to become... but above all... love will find you when you least expect it...

“live to love & love to live”

What a lovely story - good luck to you :thumbsup:

love will find you when you least expect it...

never really understood this....but it is so true. as soon as you stop looking for love....love comes looking for you....

Livestrong.. Good luck mate! Hope i get the same treatment! :D

I have yet to experience this, but, whatever you say guys. :)

thank you for all the wishes of good luck but believe me they are not needed... i have a funny feeling my life is going to be a ride i never want to get off...

but this thread is about people who have fallen in love... so come on people there must be more of you out there!

Aww, that's lovely to hear Livestrong.

I'm really delighted for you that things have worked out so well.

You certainly picked the right Username! :thumbsup:

Good Luck in Oz - but don't forget Sheffield Forum :)

Ah that's a right nice story, glad you're happy! I've just fallen in love for the first time and it's early days but I had no idea it could feel like this at all :)

you see people that is the spirit! you are in love... tell the world!

Awww wow Livestrong I love your posts! I admit that sometimes I darent read them cos whatever you say always rings true and I cant always take the truth if I'm feeling a little bit delicate or mushy...

Aww wow I'm so happy for you! :D :clap: Best of luck darling! xxxx

thank you for starting off a nice thread, hopefully it'll fill with people saying nice happy things rather than taking the p***... I'm always really pleased when someone sounds genuinely pleased with their situation, it's so much nicer than listening to people moaning all the time.

i think it's lovely how easy things can be - i fell in love with a guy i met in corporation. that was 7 1/2 years ago, it was so incredibly easy to fall in love with him, he's just perfect, even though we were living 200 miles apart for 3 1/2 years. i'm now 8 months pregnant, and still pathetically ridiculously devotedly in love. he makes cakes for me when i pout at him enough.

i think it's really nice when you see people doing public displays of affection (affection, notably, not lust).

Love? Bah humbug! Always leaves me feeling hurt.

nevermind... but this post is for people who have fallen in love!

Didn't say I hadn't fallen in love did I? Just that it has always led to being hurt

fair comment... sorry i'm half asleep desperately trying to stay awake to watch the champions league final... anyway back to the thread...

people where are you all?

I met my husband when I was 16, he is the only man I have ever gone out with, and we have now been married 25 years, have 2 grown sons and we still hold hands when we are out walking. We are so close we think things at the same time & say the exact same thing together. :)

...people where are you all?

Love is a mental illness. It always ends in tears- FACT. All this about "love will find you when you least expect it" or "love will come along when you stop looking for it" is a load of cow poo.

In my early 20's I split up with my girlfriend, I though sod it i'll stay single for a while. I ended being single for 7 years- love never found me.

Last year was a good year, a few one night stands then I met a beautiful woman who I worked with. That all went tits up a few weeks ago. Now i'm feeling similar to how I felt in my early 20's- i'll now be single for another 7 years again because love never finds me.

Life is ****e, love is ****e, nothing good ever happens. I t rains, its grey and the future is black.

Love makes you sad, not happy. Loneliness is the future for a man like me, love stinks- love is a crock.

You got it brother. I'm in love with drink and the mighty Owls. There's more comradeship with the lads at football than in a relationship.

thats not quite the love i was thinking of when i started this thread... and by the way people can rant on all they like... no-one can persuade this casanova that love isn't there for all...

Cant fault you pal really cant.:thumbsup:

I'M IN LUURVVEEE:love:
I love my fella more than anything in the whole world ( except cream eggs), He looks quite menacing at first glance but he really is just a big softy who makes me lots of cups of coffee, lets me lie in bed while he takes the kids to school and tells me he loves me 10 times a day ( really he does!!!!). We are just coming up to our first wedding anniversary and things are brill.
To all of you who are down on the idea of finding love....it comes to us all.....eventually.
kisses

Just split from my fella after 7 and a half years so " love dont live here any more " 5 weeks now and i know i'm loved by my friends who have all rallied round and i have'nt been in or alone on any weekend yet. My family are a different thing, they always loved me and apparently they were to do with the reason we split. Not loved anymore by one person but still loved by so many others. I feel lucky i really do:love:

I wrote this about the guy I first fell in love with:-

To my knight, from your Christmas fairy.

There is no one who makes me feel
Quite the same as you do.
You are my knight, my day, my thoughts
And joy, and more beautiful than the sun on snow,
More beautiful than the beginning of the day
When the sun wakes up.
Even more beautiful than the frost on a spiders web.
That’s how beautiful you are to me.

When I think about how I feel about you
There is nothing as confusing.
You make me tingle
Like the bells on Christmas trees
Little bells surrounded in tinsel.
When you tickle me its as though
I’m covered with tinsel
The fairy at the top of the tree.

That’s how special I feel with you.

I'm not in love, but I am in lust....my I record it here?? it may never happen again

Cherry, i cant wait to be in lust again, just not happening at the moment.

Love to Love by UFO

Oh it’s been too many times and I can’t go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don’t want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don’t say that you’ll never know
Love to love to love you

[instrumental]

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon’s they rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don’t know where I’m goin’ to
I’ve tried and I need you to stay

I'm not in love, so that's my contribution - the lyrics to an old rock song.

Can't say fairer than that. It's better than me moaning about being lonely, miserable, etc.... But only just! ;)

awww its great to here how your friends and family were there for you... it is amazing when tht happens... so much love... ahhhhhh bliss...

here's how love can work.....
after 11 years together myself and the poker ninja have decided to call it a day, we havent been happy for a long time, but we held on as long as we could for the sake of the mini ninja.
We've decided to do this now, while we still love each other enough to not want to hurt each other, or the bairn.
we're saving a great friendship, and keeping things stable for all of us, we can now just feel the relief that comes from taking away the pressure of living in a dead relationship.
if we'd gone on as we were, we would have lost the friendly love and it would all have turned acrimonious.
so , sad as it is, I'm looking forward to a new start and a bright future :D
and in the meantime, Shauny's gonna have some fun :D

:clap:

Ah, to be fair it's quite fake, he's in a band :D

I met my husband when I was 16, he is the only man I have ever gone out with, and we have now been married 25 years, have 2 grown sons and we still hold hands when we are out walking. We are so close we think things at the same time & say the exact same thing together. :)

That is so romantic and true. This is the kind of love that I respect and admire - my parents have just celebrated 23 years together and they are such an example! They don't claim to be perfect for each other but they will always love each other and never be apart - makes me feel all warm inside that my parents will never split up. Also given me a set of values that someone doesn't have to be 'pefect' for you for you to love them

Oh well in that case Cherry so am i, with Russel Brand. He's my new cup of tea!

Thanks Livestrong, I'd cut myself off from a lot of people over the years who are really glad to have me back. Just shows how strong friendships are and how important too. And Sharpsinger, i'm out there having a ball and living the dream, rediscover yourself and go get that FUN

Well I met the love of my life 51 years ago.We have loved, lived, fought ( oh such fights) we came half way around the world. He is the most cantankerous buggy Yorkshireman but I wouldn't swap him for quids and I just hope all you romantics on this thread have half the fun joy and love we've had.
PS I gave him a big hug this arvo and he said 'Gerroff woman are you sex mad'

That was such a sweet story, thank you for sharing it :)

Although I don't post much on the forum at the mo, I do check it out every day and I thought I had to contribute to this thread...

Some of you will remember than when I joined the forum early last year, I was thoroughly unhappy. The man I was living with and worked with and loved, decided he no longer loved me. TBH I don't think he ever truly did. And when I look back on it, I was never happy in that relationship.

I was unhappy for quite some time, but went out and had some fun, went on dates, met lots of new people, but 1 inparticular changed my life.

I went on what was effectively a blind date with one of the other forum members (Osiris - hello my darlin), I wasn't expecting anything to come out of it, but in fact I have met the true love of my life. I think we both new what we had found on our first date. We had a difficult first 6 weeks - dealing with the depth of feelings we had for one another, but it was worth it.

We now couldn't be happier, I have never been loved the way he loves me, he makes me feel so special, warm, loved, needed, appreciated, sexy, secure etc etc. He tells me he loves me all the time and is proud to say it. I too have never loved anyone like I love him, he truly is my other half and when we are apart (we don't live together at the mo) it feels like something is missing.

True love really is magical.

I can't help but look forward to our lives together. He is my dream.

Thanks for listening.

This has been on the whole a lovely thread- I'd just like to wish all you lovers well and say better luck next time to the ones who haven't found the magic.
It will happen if you let it- probably when you least expect it.
