Does my heart explode when I see them, I can't say it does. Do they consume my every thought? No.

Do I enjoy the time I have with them? Yes

Would I sacrifice my own life for them? I honestly question that.

When I was estranged from them for a bunch of years did I have a yearning to get back that feeling . . . simple answer is no.

I've been accused of being emotionally ######ed and detached by almost every girl I've dated or been with? Yup.

Maybe I don't know what love is, because I've never been consumed by it, and because of that my outlook towards it is that it doesn't exist and its been over rated.

But I've always been able to walk away from friendships and relationships without it destroying my life, so I hedge my bets by saying I've never really and truly loved anyone.
Thanks for an honest answer. I don't mean to be glib about this. It is an interesting topic. Here, I posted about the "science" of love:
