Is it possible to love fall in love with two people at the same time?

Question

How does the mind or heart work like that?

No, not polygamy..i mean.."in love"..as in true love..

Ah..i said love...not lust...true love..:)♥

Answer 1

it is very possible to fell true love as we call it for more than one person. the only reason most people don't want to accept the fact is mass media and social norms pressing for the one true love syndrome.

Answer 2

I Believe so

It's quite the Delima

I Had this Happen Recently

I went To Disneyland w/ this Gurl & it was the most "Magical" Date, we Both Agreed That Cupid Had struck

But We Also Had Had other ppl we Had met Prior to meeting eachother & Agreed Not to Go Steady & Go Out w/ these Others As To not Leave any Dought that May come up Later or find out Now

Two Weeks Later, I Go D-Land Again
Not As Magical , But More of a "Perfect" Date
It Was Just Different

But When I Woke-up The Next Morning I Though OMG I'm In Love w/ To Girls Equally, I Got Me A Tie
Yeah , You Don't Thnk So

I Was Crushing Both of Them
Well The 1st one about 9 Days Later tells me, She still Likes this Guy She New Before Me & That it was between Me & Him, Oh BTW , I Had Known Girl #2 Before I Went Out W/ Girl #1 , But it Was Al Fair & Even Steven

My 2nd Girl Though Saw the 1st ones Comments on myspace Saying "I Love You" & A Pic of us W/ "Perfect Couple" Above it & Said Hey Dane, I Feel Like I'm Dateing Another girls Man, So She Bowed Out

Anywho I'd Taken Either one & am Still On Gret Terms w/ Both , Stay Tuned As Danes world Turns ;-)

Answer 3

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

i fall in love with two women every ten minutes, so i'd have to say yes - and i mean this seriously.

of course!

nothing about true love forbids it from occurring often, but it never seems to because after one bout of it we seem shut off to it for awhile. but there's nothing stopping it from occurring with 10 people at once, or 20...

but usually to be sure it's not infatuation and is actually true love you'd have to really KNOW someone --- and it would be difficult to do this effectively with more than one person... so maybe it doesnt happen often for that reason...

Answer 5

Of course you can be in love with two people at the same time. Doesn't mean that you don't love one person more than the other though.

Answer 6

i think of the persons who've replied that it somewhat is impossible, have of course by no capacity been in love with 2 human beings on an identical time. of direction it fairly is a possibility. And that is heartbreaking painful besides. i desire it fairly works out ok for you.

Answer 7

This is an interesting topic and one that I have given a bit of thought to. I believe that we continue to love all of the people that we fall in love with over our lives. I have had a couple of loves in my life and while I am happily married (20 years) I continue to feel love for the other women I have shared my life with even though I have no contact with them and no current knowledge of their lives. I think that we have an infinite capacity to feel love and It is simply our social mores which keep us from professing love to more than one person.
The problem with professing love for more than one person is the feelings of jealousy which arise between the mutually loved. It is human nature for mates to want exclusivity regardless of what the anthropologists might say.

Answer 8

no.
HOWEVER, it is possible to fall in love with two people for different reasons.
example:

husband stops having sex with spouse.
wife still loves him for " emotional love".
at the same time wife has affair with another man who pleases her every fantasy in bed.
wife loves him for "physical love".

it is possible that wife or husband can separate their hearts into two hard drives like a computer.

to say she loves both of them equally is by essence true but technically her CPU runs erratic searching for the one who spins at the right speed for transfer of energy from one body to another.

of course as a Christian I believe in monogamy.

Having said that, because this is the philosophy section, I gather you are looking for a parable not a direct answer.

God Bless

Answer 9

Depends if that love involves the libido. In that case, the "love" would not be love but "sexual desire." Love is that which "commits" and is ever "faithful" without "deceit." It's why so many get in ttrouble in relationships. Sex is not love, just as love is not 'sex." The "mind" tells you it "is," but you know in your heart what it is. If the "heart" comes into play along with love, then you become one with the other have mutual respect for each other's feelings.

Answer 10

It is possible but I guess given there would be 2 people it would be hard for either of those loves go to deeply, because it wouldn't be based on commitment and mutual monogomous love. But yes you can definitely have feelings and more for more than one person.
