Have you ever been in love with someone you didn't like? (Or the reverse.)

In My Humble Opinion
1

Inpsired partly by the Moonlighting discussion going on elsewhere, but mostly because RealPlayer just randomly played “You Really Got a Hold on Me.”

For purposes of this poll, “in love” refers only to romantic love. The fact that I can’t stand my oldest brother’s company for more than twenty seconds, but nonetheless would give him a kidney if he needed one, means that relationship is disqualified.

Poll in a moment, but don’t let that stop you. I was going to make the results public as part of my always-be-a-jackass policy but just now changed my mind.

I was in a relationship where I felt very deeply for this guy. I was crazy for him. He was crazy for me. We were passionate, intensely in love.

But he was a dick. He had a lot of personality flaws that made me not like him a lot of the time. But when I was in his arms, I couldn’t help but feel like I loved him.

Maybe it was love, maybe it wasn’t. It was intense. It was passionate. It was a mess.

I’m just here for my sundae.

But I really don’t think it’s possible. Because if it was, I wouldn’t like my stupid recently X’ed boyfriend.

The reverse. I’ve liked someone I wasn’t in love with. :smiley:

I, too, want ice cream. Also, while I’ve had the momentary hot and hornies for someone I knew I’d want to smack upside the head the next day, I can’t imagine that lasting long enough to qualify as even temporary romantic love. I have had the opposite experience though, and wished madly for over a decade that I could feel romantic about my best friend. Loved him to death and still do, just…something was missing. Which was a crying shame.

Yes, both ways, loved and loving.

We’re much happier and better friends divorced.

Did you want the one with or without [del]potassium cyanide[/del] nuts?

I remember the tale, but I’m not sure that follows. if it’s not too personal, can you elucidate?

Turn on your teleport pad. Chocolate with sprinkles, right?

That is the perfect way to describe it. What a colossal asshole! But yeah, I went there.

During an argument once, I asked him, how did your first wife deal with you always being such a jerk?

“Hrm,” he said, thinking aloud. “she got used to it.” Well alrighty then! :smack::smiley:

I can’t say for sure because we haven’t spoken more than a dozen words a year in almost two decades but I’ve been told that the reason my ex hates me so much is because he still loves me.

I myself have never disliked someone I love romantically so I have always found it a little difficult to imagine.

ETA - Hot fudge sundae please!

Keep your nuts to yourself!
What I meant was, I love him, and I still like him too. You’d think I wouldn’t after all the pain, but nope, I still like him enough to be concerned with his feelings and welfare.
I’m angry with him, of course.

For me love is just* like* times a hundred. You have to like if you love. It doesn’t even make sense not to like if you love.

Makes the best love songs…

Deeply. Madly. Alarmingly. When I (we) broke it off I felt like I’d lost my mother. But sometime later (a loooong time) I felt like I’d woken up from a spell.
Phernomes are a bitch.

I did some of my best writing when I was with him…
