Love Relationships:
"This
state of limerance can go from high to low in a matter of minutes.
When he is suppose to call, but doesn't. You feel the lowest low.
Then he calls an
hour later, and your back on the high again. It's horrible and wonderful
all at the
same time.." F 35 - 44 yrs

Love Relationships:
"I've
only experienced "limerance" with one person long-term. It's been
5 years and the feelings are still there. Fortunately, he has admitted
to having similar feelings towards me, so the rejection isn't there as
much. This person actually moved two states away shortly after the
limerance started for both of us (it was a pre-planned thing - the limerance
hit unexpectedly once the ball was already rolling), and has since become
one of the closest friends I've ever had.
Over time, I'm learning to cope with the limerance regarding this person,
to not let it rule my life and get in the way of my career and other relationships
so much, but I'm afraid it will never go away entirely.F 25 - 34 yrs

Love Relationships:
"This is a romantic love of Edna St. Vincent Millay proportions, 10 years
and counting, unrequited, almost, except for some mixed messages and "I
love you"'s. We are both married to other people but were close friends
years ago. I am looking for a way to get my mind off this person and into
my "real" life and marriage." F 35 - 44 yrs

Love Relationships:
"Unexpected, out of the blue - someone I had known for several years.
Neither of us in a position to have this ' such a relationship but neither
of us willing/able to stop us. A feeling of best friends, extreme openness,
excitement, challenge. Really hard to not be physical as well - in fact
impossible but in such a different way than with anybody else - all the
things we do simply being a part of the whole.." F 35 - 44 yrs
