How many of the people you dated did you fell in love with?

[lonely rose]

Just curious...Please let me know what's your age and gender

[Kinkz]

As a general rule I don't date if there is no initial attraction there. In other words, all my dates have at some point turned into 'falling-in-love' stages.

 

Am in my 20's, female.

Not talking about lack of attraction. Someone can be very attracted to you and yet not love you.

30/f.

 

I've dated ...don't even know a number, plenty of guys (talking about dating as in going on dates, getting to know each other).

 

I've been in love a few times.

 

So, the majority I did not fall in love with. Dating is the search, methinks, for the right one.

I'm female and 25. I would say I have fallen in love with 4 people I was dating. 2 of which I saw a future with (I'm still in love with both of them) I have probably "dated" around 20-25 people.

Maybe, I havent experienced that for myself so I don't know. Love/attraction goes hand in hand, thats what I think anyways.

 

From what i have experienced though, all my attractions have turned into love at some point.

[Blue Skittles]

I'm 26.

 

I've probably dated about 15 or so guys, of which 5 or 6 of them I've fallen in love with.

[mgirl]

40, chick.

 

Fallen in love only twice. Dating and having a relationship doesn't necessarily equate to falling in love, in my world.

[mandyc]

22/f. I have no idea how many people i've dated casually, but seriously about 5. I was in love with 2, still in love with my bf I just broke up with. I thought I loved some of the others, even said it, but looking back on it I didn't.

Female, 31

 

5 LTR, 3 casual dated

 

Fell in love in all LTRs but properly (with absolute commitment) only once, my last relationship.

[Firiel]

Female, 22 years old.

 

I've "dated" three for four guys, but I've been in two relationships and have fallen in love once.

[mazzy1212]

28 f

 

i thought i was in love once, but in retrospect i wasnt. sooooooooo zero! seeing a guy now that i think i can fall for in time...

[WomanWriter]

29/f

 

Dated 4 men officially; was in love with 2.

[Nixee]

30/f ...

 

I have no idea how many guys I've dated overall... have had quite a few exclusive relationships - probably 10-12. I've only really fallen in love 2 times, though I'd thought I had fallen before with younger infatuation.

[rikka]

28 and female,

 

I will only count the long term relationships - so I have had 3 and was only truly in love with one of them.

[velvette]

22/f; I've only dated once and I made sure I loved him BEFORE I asked him out (I'd reject him when he asked me out before, since I wasn't sure I loved him). kinda backwards but, we were friends first! and so yes, we did love each other before we ever dated. we never dated anyone else previously.

 

it's been 3 years, with ups and downs, but our love is stronger than ever.

Female, 30

 

I have dated and had 3 serious relationships. Looking back, I have only fell in love with one of them.

[civilservant]

Been in 2 serious relationships in the past, was in love with both of them. Or so I thought. My opinion and experiance has grown as Ive got older, and now I dont know if I ever was.

[Lol]

17 year old young lady! I've only fell ONCE....i dont fall for alot of guys or even like that many very strongly usually. I don't even stunt them when they approach me, its like "what ever" except for this one time...i've casually dated 4 people.

[EEjustYOmeRE]

20/f

 

dated between 8-10 guys, threw around the 'L' word carelessly with two of em, fell in love once (aside from the man i'm with now) but never saw a future with any of them. so with the man i'm with currently, would be the second man i've truly fallen in love with, he's also my longest relationship.

 

and my rule of thumb is that, the moment you know that person is not the one, end it before either of you invest more feelings in eachother, and it'll just hurt more in the end.

[jahur]

have fell in love with the idea of being in love, only to find it was just that, what is love? how do you know? is loves greatest secret is that you just dont really know? now i love my two sons but that is a different love. i have misconstrued when i have ended or been ended that i love them more that they have gone, "want the one you cant have" sorta thing, but in my reality its a case of scared of missing out.

 

when i come to realise i was missing out as opposed to loving them more, i could heal a lot quicker, so in all that i cant really answer how many.

 

i have had 3 ltr's born out of habit, lust and kept it going selfishly because i was scared of missing out, not love at all.

 

that is my conclusion, so im sure i will get a slating from those that are in/have been in love........please be gentle.

26/f.

 

I've dated close to 20 guys, fell in love - twice. Although, I've told a few that I was in love with them, but when I looked back I realized I never really was.
