Do you believe in instalove?

[scorpiobabe]

Yes I believe in "insta-love", because love comes from within.

 

[Andrewlongcock]

eh, i must disagree

when they do fated mates, its not about love - its about the magic that bonds people together

fated mates is my one trope that i will die on a hill for

I love it, and you are right. I will defend your position on that hill, we will beat back those sonsabitches or they will join us! I will even plagiarize a poem for us;

Half a league
Half a league
Half a league onward
All in the valley of death rode the instalove

 

[HayleyLuvsSex]

Nah it’s just lust

I'm starting to think that lust is what love was supposed to be, at least supposed by me when I was formulating ideas of such things. I thought love was going to be an exciting thrill! My heart leaping, my skin tingling and thoughts so grand and easy coming down a ribbon of promise leading to my happy and content future. I thought I could find broad satisfaction and contentment because I would now be able to see a different and better context for my everyday life. That special someone was the lens through which it was possible. Together we would be greater than the sum of our parts.

Is what I'm describing lust? Not by it's literal definition. I think lust is simply wanting to gorilla-fuck someone into the corner of the couch so hard that you have to pull them out again. But after that's done, maybe there isn't much to talk about or do. I can count the times I've felt this about a stranger or casual acquaintance on one hand. Its nice to feel this alive, but I want and need more than this.

But love as I observe it so often consists of so much personal compromise. It's not two people making each other better, it's two people making each other blander.

I think what I want is neither lust nor love. It's new relationship energy that never ends. Like a creative endeavor with a life of it's own, a snowballing perpetual motion machine of physical and mental engagement. And that, I think I can get insta. The question is whether I can make it perma.

Yes, I believe it and I have lived it.

I fell in love with my wife the moment we met. I turned to say something to her at a party and she smiled at me. That was it. That smile. As the old song sang, "Zing went the strings of my heart.

The next morning I went to breakfast with my best friend and said, "Last night I met the future mother of my children." That was 38 years ago and going strong.

(Someone else mentioned this and also, yes, I believe in insta-lust. I also believe in insta-hate. Some feelings are primal.)

Not sure I really believe in love the way it’s commonly packaged and sold to us. So that’s a definite no on the instant possibility. Lust? Absolutely. But then we take that lust and look so hard for a stronger connection so we can belong to something/someone. I’ve been “in love” 3 times in my life, and not one of those times did we not ultimately end up hurting and scarred from each other.

My babies. They were instant love.

 

[Saint Peter]

does instalove stink as bad as the real stuff?

 

[Goldenfinger]

I believe that you can meet someone and tell that they are someone that you could love. But there are things you would do for a loved one, would you do that for a person you just met and insta-love? I think you connect with some people quickly and your feeling go faster.

Insta-love with a puppy. Every time.

This was a fantastic post. I take back all I said. This was better thought out and expressed.

I believe in insta-cart because I fucking hate the grocery store.

What a nice compliment, thank you. You and I are onto the same concept I think.

I have a sneaking suspicion that L2R is on some Omegaverse shit though, and instalove is about wolfboys knocking up other wolfboys, entranced with each others' pheremones. Delicious.

You ain't never lied. I tip the max for instacart people because they give me part of my life back AND they pick out pretty good steaks. Worth every penny.

You’re welcome, it’s well deserved.

Interesting possibilities with the latter part of that post. It made me start singing Cohen.

And if you want another kind of love...

I had a girlfriend in college I met in a serendipitous way and probably always make me enjoy the movie Serendipity. Just an amazing connection. Not of the ‘There’s only one fish in the world’ mindset but she was an amazing person and I do sometimes wonder ‘what if…’ I think that understanding of ‘we’re a good thing’ generally takes time to establish. So can see what started out as friends changing to a romantic relationship because the people have time to see the good and bad. I think some people who know the type of person they are attracted to and know him or herself well can be more attuned to know what they are truly looking for. I think those types of people could fall in love quicker when they see what they’ve been waiting for. Going beyond the curvy female figure or ripply muscles. That’s all skin deep. But if physical attraction is attached to a thoughtful mind , common goals and aspirations and a sense of humor. Zowie wowie. The whole package deal. Then yeah. I can see that. But unless you have a way to quickly get to heart-to-heart connecting it’s hard to know so soon.

 

[stickygirl]

I believe in Pot Noodle and Cous-cous. They are reliably winners. Also Instant Melts Imodium are great

 

[PMarky2]

Complex question.

I am not the sort to feel anything other than 'I wouldn't mind taking her for a lap of the bedroom!' instantly. However, that sort of attraction does not last long for me, and certainly not long enough for me to chat them up, score, and get to a suitable flat surface. Love takes a while for me because I am basically sapiosexual. I do have a persistent lust problem with one young lady. I like her; she's the tall, slender type I like; I get along with her, and we have a good laugh when working together, but the chemistry isn't there for more than a mild lust relationship, and that is mainly based on her feet.

With my wife we went through the stages of friendship, attraction, to love in a few months from a cold start - i.e., we met by chance - and she was my best friend and my lover until poor health caught up with her, though never my muse. Falling for her was quick, but it was not Insta-love. Now thanks to her health I am living on memories, and the occasional visit from her former personality.

The young woman I called 'My Muse' was just an aloof, entertaining, clever, eccentric young friend until she said something that connected so deeply to my innermost being that in about 30 seconds flat the rule book was torn up and incinerated. I knew I could love her, I wanted to be with her and raise a family with her because we are just so in tune with one another. I'd count that as an Insta-love experience, but it occurred after we had already got to know one another.

I am still wondering if the instinct is/was correct, but I cannot actively pursue it. I am not a selfish bastard all of the time - the wife is still alive and more-or-less kicking, I still love her, I remember my marriage vows, and how things were when she had her health, though at times much of what I have are memories.

 

[anarchoMando]

No
Now don't get me wrong. Intense infatuation and lust exist all the time in our society.

But love at first sight is bullshit that it's only propagated via cheap script writers

 

[ericalauren]

I have no fucking idea! I've never been in love.
