Romantic Love Relationships:

" I didn't experience limerence until I was over 50 with my current significant other who is also over 50 and experiencing the same thing. "

Romantic Love Relationships:

" I discovered the word "limerence" a long time ago when trying to figure out why I felt all of the highs and lows associated with a passionate "feeling" about a guy I met. Oddly enough, I didn't feel anything until he took an interest in me and we had known each other for several months. I had just transferred to my third college and was entering my junior year. This relationship set me back from graduation about two years and I still can't figure out why him and not any of the other men I dated in all of the past 3 years of my college career.

I can only assume that something chemical took place between us that I didn't feel with any of the others and it put me out of control of my life. I am normally a very focused person and this was one of two times in my life when I lost focus and control. Presently, I am in another limerance situation (30 years later) and I am recognizing it for what it is. But that doesn't make it any easier to deal with the emotional roller-coaster I'm on.

Guess limerence isn't age discriminatory! Whatever it is that makes our libidos soar and our brains mush should be analyzed and an antidote discovered. I'd buy it!!!. "

Romantic Love Relationships:

" Thinking about her right now - DAMMIT!! "

Romantic Love Relationships:

" I am constantly in a state of limerence. "

Romantic Love Relationships:

" Many of these attributes seem to equate with obsessive love and are likely to stem from personal neuroses and needs.

I view a "healthy" romantic love as having less to do with obsessions and more to do with a relationship of equals involving give and take and a wish for the happiness of the other. To view all romantic love as addictive and compulsive seems to reveal much about the psychological attitude of the author to love in general and "romantic love" in particular. "
