Temporary Love?

Question

Is it possible to have "temporary love" for a person. By temporary I mean a few days. About 3/4 of a year ago I had an affair with a guy and for just a few days I felt like I was in heaven. Now that the affair is over and there is noone in my life. I look back and crave the romance and passion I had with him.

Answer 1

its called infatuation hun

Infatuation, an emotional state characterized by intense desire, often romantic in nature


love takes time

Answer 2

Look up "limerance." In polyamorous crowds we call it "new relationship energy."

"Look, shiny!" is more fun than, "Oh, it's you." The familiar can be boring. You didn't have time for the guy to get on your nerves with his habits and foibles, really. You didn't have time to get tired of him. Now you're alone, and something seems better than nothing.

That's not love at all, but a kind of hunger. If you have nothing at all to eat, you can remember a crappy meal your mother used to force you to eat and think, "Damn, I'd love to have that now!"

Try turning some of that energy towards yourself. Pamper yourself. Give yourself the kind of attention you'd give a lover - seriously. I'm not talking about getting all narcissistic, but take yourself out. Give yourself treats. You're worth it.

Acknowledge yourself as a damned fine lady who deserves to be romanced. Buy yourself flowers. Get dressed up nicely and go out for a good meal. Even if you eat at home, put on some nice music, light a candle and set the table with the good crystal and china.

You'll feel better for treating yourself like the prize you are, and you won't miss the "temporary" so much.

Have fun!

I think so. A friend of mine, that is a girl, and I went through something like that. We were just friends for the longest time and eventually moved apart but kept in touch. We both went through break ups at close to the same time. I went to see her for a weekend and had an amazing couple of days both physically and emotionally. For certain reasons it can never work out or last forever but I know that for a weekend we had a temporary love just like you're talking about.

Answer 4

For me this is an eternal phantasm. It type of matched with yet another's everlasting phantasm and grew to grow to be some type of actuality. And we grew to grow to be completely entangled between actuality & phantasm. that's momentary purely once you like somebody for some particular features and while those disappear or replace, the affection too vanishes. Infatuation is once you think of the guy is what you think of he's and once you come across he's no longer certainly, then the scales fall out of your eyes and you're dissatisfied. mind? In love concerns? Oh, please do no longer drag fed up events into the concerns of coronary heart!!! That'll smash the social gathering by way of its no longer hassle-free-center dry good judgment. permit that's a mute witness to your sensual music & dance....

Answer 5

it wasnt love.
i'm sorry.
it was immense infatuation. you answered your question yourself with the last sentence.
You loved the thrill of the romance and passion. The excitement of it all filled your body with emotion. Even Affection.
But you were not In Love.

Answer 6

Sounds to me more like lust, and since you have now found yourself alone you yearn for that lust back. I wouldn't be surprised (please no offense to you) if someone else could just as easily fill that need. What you should do, is take time to yourself, ignore your feelings and wait till you can find that true forever love.
