i think that there can be real love even if its not mutual. I mean, you always hear about people saying how they're in loe but the person doesn't return their feelings. maybe its just a stronger bond if its mutual. The way i think about it, you can be in love with a person even if they don't return your feelings, however, if they do, it will last so much longer because you get so much more out of it in return. that's why it takes so much longer to get over someone if you loved them and they loved you, than it does if it was only you who had those feelings. and shan, if you say that you love people after a short time, i completely believe you. maybe what it comes down to is a personal definition of what love is, and mayve one person is more ready to experience those feelings than another. i think you're right when you say that no one person can make up a sure definition of love, it all depends on the person, and their experiences. The important thing is that you feel absolutely positive within yourself that those feelings are sincere.
