Have you ever dealt with limerence?
I've dated many girls but I never felt anything for them but lust.
Most of my relationships were very short lived and based around getting my dick wet.
Never once I've developed a genuine emotional connection to a girl I had personal contact with.
However, that did not stopped me from developing crush and ultimately becoming limerant for a girl I've found on tumblr in late 2015.
11 years later and still think of her.
Have you ever experience something like this.
Pic semi related. She kinda looks like this

I've never had limerence. I have a soulmate connection with the love of my life and some idiot online wants to say it's limerance to attempt to decieve her.

So no. I've never had limerence. Only dealt with this asshat who is a bump in the road until I'm with my love again.
>>
>>34429909
Yeah limerence is simply when you think you love someone. Keyword: think. Turns out you don't love them, just the idea of them. Limerence is the embarrassing act of trying to love your own mind using someone else as a proxy.

I wish i knew what limerence is. Is that some retard term? I have only heard it used very recently.

It's a word that's been around for a while, and it is a real thing. But it's not as bad as anyone thinks it is. It happens to everyone in any relationship, from shit relationship to amazing relationship, from casual fuck buddy to your own wife. Limerence is one of many stages that occur before getting to real love with someone. Limerence is the part where all you can think about is that other person, and they take up a lot of your mind all day.

People demonize it because psychology today has this weird caricature of the "ideal human" it projects onto everyone. And if you fall short of it, you are apparently wrong or mentally ill or whatever. It's quack nonsense basically. Because the truth is that no one goes from single and insecure to relationship and secure in a single step. It takes a process, and limerence is one of those steps along the way.

But people are fucking retarded today you have no idea, they are so fucking dumb it's not even funny. So they actually believe in terms like "limerence" when really it's just what happens when you like someone, you think about them a lot.

I may be experiencing that right now then. I'll try to psy-op the girl into feeling that for me too.
>>
>>34431531
Nah psy-ops don't work long term. You can change a person's mind, easily. It's so easy to manipulate a mind if you know which blind spots to exploit. But minds change, that's why it's possible to manipulate in the first place. And when her mind changes, you're gone. Hearts are much more harder to change or manipulate. If you want a girl, don't aim for her head, aim for her heart.

>If you want a girl, don't aim for her head, aim for her heart
No shit. I've been doing that. It's high level stuff.
>>
>>34431554
High level stuff indeed but there is a shortcut called "won't you come out and play with me" or "I'll show you mine if you show me yours". Aka show her yours. Even if you don't have one or if it's ice cold, do it anyway. This gets you the girl
>>
>>34431563
Fuck off, you're retarded
>>
>>34431566
What's the point of chasing your quarry then? For what purpose? If it's only for sex why not just go to the prostitute?
>>
>>34431513
Limerence is, in a sense, true love. What Romeo and Juliet felt for each other, that's limerence. It's the kind of intense, overwhelming, obsessive love that you feel at the start of a relationship. It's also what you're feeling when you have a "crush" on someone. It's excitement and exhilaration, and fireworks. Within a relationship, it generally fades after the honeymoon period; if you're lucky, it's replaced by something gentler, but deeper.

>it's replaced by something gentler, but deeper.
Yeah, actual love. That's the full love. Limerence is half-love. Infatuation is a quarter. I think what people get wrong is when they say limerence or infatuation is the "fake" or the gentle/deep the "true". People have a funny black or white way of thinking of it, but truth is it's all thread of the same rope.
