How are we defining "being in love"? Is it just your feelings for someone or must it require that person also having the same feelings for you? If it is the latter, then zero.

That made me laugh because technically all bodies in outer space are falling around each other, so "space" really is falling for some reason. God, I'm a loser for knowing that.

Back to the question at hand. For me I'm afraid it would be zero. I have yet to meet someone who I feel I could not live without. Unless things like nature and music count, of course.

Honestly, I really can't say I know what Love is. It's so abstract and illogical, but brings people the greatest pleasures or the most unberable pains. I've had obssessive crushes where I thought I was in Love, but really? I'm going to have to go with zero.

You can't tell what someone else's feelings for you are.

I've had 3 long term, live-in relationships, in which I was definitely in love, and it was returned, as far as I can tell. I've had at least three purely emotional (nothing physical) relationships where again I was in love, and the claim was that it was returned. I've also fallen in love a couple other times, where it was probably not returned - I volunteered my feelings, and no reply was forthcoming.

Since love is forever, I try not to fall too many times.

Yeah it all depends on how you define it. I've dated 36 women, but only loved 3 of them. But even with that did not love them deeply. Only 1 or maybe 2 of them seemed to love me in return. Only one was a long term relationship and she still cheated on me with at least two others. I am deeply in love with someone now, but its not someone I could ever date let alone have a relationship with.

0

Had a long term relationship once. Lasted 11 months, I cared for her but I wouldn't say it was love. Realized it wasn't going anywhere and cut it off. Maybe we could have worked out but I didn't know how. I think she may have been aspie but we didn't talk that much.

I'm not sure what love is so I have to say never.
