I'm in love

^ Interesting statement, do you equate love exclusively with reproductive tasks? It's certainly a good thing to be in love with your co-parent, but what of love with someone you don't intend to reproduce with?

No regrets about my son, and I was still very much in love with my ex when we decided to have him, but my equipment has been de-rated to "for recreational use only", and yet there is potential for love despite an inability to reproduce.

Love, in humans, has little to do with reproduction.
 
no, not at all. I wouldn't dream of restricting love to reproductional purposes only. I used the reproductional age solely as a mathematical factor to narrow the number of possible love interests down as much as possible.

The remaining fraction of the population is still an impressive figure that serves to illustrate my point how statistically unlikely the chances would theoretically be for anyone to fall for someone who has fallen for him/her, given the assumption that there can be only one perfect match per person (as humans have a tendency to believe; especially those romantically inclined).

Since, however, experience teaches us that requited feelings are a fairly common thing, it must necessarily follow that there isn't such a thing (or person, rather) as "the one" but that there are in fact many ones, so that consequently love and the perfect partner suffer a certain inflation if you'll pardon me using a financial term in this context.

It's admittedly terribly unomantic, but on the other hand it means that everyone has a lot of chances to find Mr or Ms Right :) A fat silver lining on this cloud, IMO.
 
I agree that you can find many potential partners. Very few people I know have only been in love once.

In my own case, I can point to four developed, "adult" loves in my life, considering I'm in my early 40's that isn't a huge number, but it's also far from hopeless. Interestingly, I think as we age we get more refined and better at spotting the characteristics that have long term potential in a partner.

So, DS may have an excellent chance. In his case it's dependent on her muscular development as well as her personality. :biggrin:
 
I lost count - 13 or 14 I think. I agree that we get more refined the older we get. And in my experience our priorities change as well and we get more tolerant. Also, it seems that when one gets older the quality of feelings changes. It's not like burning down a meadow anymore (quickly started, very hot and all over in a nick of time) but more like a big lake (calm and very deep). But maybe that's just me.
 
Never begrudge another person their happiness, it's about the worst "karma" type offense there is.

Happy to hear it DS!
 
It's actually a very cool story that has to be kept under wraps for a little while. If anyone that knows me is that interested, they can take it to PM and I can tell it. :)
 
Congrats.

However, and I mean no offense by this, I'd rather watch Mirah and Mistress of the Sea have full-on, hot, lime-jello lesbian sex than go to your wedding. Mmm...actually, I'd rather watch that than a LOT of things.

Good luck with the relationship. Don't jump into marriage too quickly (but you know this).
-SB
 
Thanks! :)

It will probably turn out to be a small private ceremony, just the two of us.

This is actually my very first love from when I was 14.
