Can you consider yourself in love with a person who does not return your love? Is it only TRUE love that has to be mutual?

Best ( or close ) FriendsVoted for by CrowKnight.
My opinion is that you can declare yourself in love whenever you please, but true love does indeed have to be mutual. If you aren't mutual with your partner, you most likely will not know that person very well, or you will only BECOME mutual as lovers. If you have already been best friends ( or close ), then you two would have shared friendship type information about yourselves; friends tend to be more truthful to each other, as they don't have to worry as much as with a lover. As friends, you would have shared opinions on anything, as lovers you wouldnt go tell the other person what you like in a partner or about a partner, it just wouldn't be right. So, in summary, you can't necessarily be in TRUE love unless your mutual. You CAN be, but you would both have to be VERY trustworthy, open, and kind. As friends, you would have already known a lot about each other, so you would have more areas of their personality to compare to what you want in a partner, so if you both fell in love, it would generally be stronger as you have more to be in love WITH.

just friends?Voted for by bornconfused.
it is possible infact for two close friends to have 'friendly love' for each other. and for that to be turned into desirely love in the future. it just makes the relationship much more stronger between people who are initially friends due to the fact that theres more emotion and comfort for one another. it is completely possible for someone to love another person who doesn't love them back. 'true love' is bull. because someone loves another hu does not feel the same way. may they be a friend they no or don't, 'unattained love' it doesn't make their love any less or less powerful to any 'mutual lovers'

Being In Love
Love is a state of being controlled by the heart, our minds do not control it. If the heart loves, it loves, even if love is not returned to it in like manner or at all. Not being loved in return in no way negates the love one feels for another. Love is a powerful force and a priceless experience. No you do not have to have someone be in love with you to be in love with them but it's a very painful situation to be in.Please register or login to comment! It's totally free
