simonchang,
Sometimes, when I experience it, I call it love too. Then after having sex with the girl, I find out that things are just not meant to be a relationship. So... just be friends la. If the girl is good, then maybe be friends after a few months la. hahahaha
No la. just joking hahahaha Don't do shit like that, y'all, aight. hahaha
On a serious note, simon, I guess I have experienced it before. But then, there's lots of points to argue about. I'll share some of it based on my own personal view.
To me, I can't predict the future and neither can the girl. If me and her are close, then I'll just be close (bf gf kinda close) to her only and not other girls. Yet, I'll tell her that I don't know what the future holds but however long I'm with the girl, I'll make sweet memories of every single second I spend with her. No arguements, no conflicts, none of those kinda stuff. Just plain beautiful, peaceful, cheerful, etc. kinda relationship. So, instead of answering questions like "is this love? or is this just infatuation?", I answer questions like, "can I make every second I spend with you nice and happy and sweet?" Love may break even after 100 years. Infatuation may vanish after 1 hour. Time, to me, is one of THE MOST important thing in life. Lose 1 second, and you'll never EVER get it back. So, why waste time thinking about "are we considered bf gf, or what are we, really?" Just focus on enjoying each other's company. Of course, some simple ground "rules" apply, like having only one person like that to enjoy and make memories with. Basically, it's being faithful (make sweet memories with only that one particular gal/guy), constant communication (talk about everything and not hide anything), peace of mind and soul (so that you don't get angry over small things or even big things).
Put it this way. I have to struggle and sacrifice my energy, etc. more than half the time when I am not sleeping. I do not want to struggle anymore when I am off-work. If I need to struggle to make the relationship work, etc. then I life has no more meaning, other than work.
That's what I think. hehe
