Who mixes up the two? Ever notice how two lonely people can cling together, think they're in love, and fall into "love" too quickly? It scares me when people are lonely, then exes come out of nowhere and text me that they still love me.

I have ex boyfriends text me after breakups and tell me they still love me. They don't get that they are just lonely, and they forget that THEY broke up with ME.

It's a tough time for people, especially now. Some people feel more isolated than ever, so they think about all their past relationships, and they want them back. You don't have to be mean to the guy. But don't lead him on.

Oh. No. I'm not being mean to anyone. I was just saying that being lonely doesn't equal loving someone again.

I do love that song. It actually inspired me to make the thread.  |

Think of it the other way. Sometimes loss makes you realize what you had.

I know how it feels. And it's hard to tell the difference. Missing people does convince you that you're in love with them. It's weird and people who never felt it won't understand.

Not just missing someone. But also confusing attention with love. Someone gives you attention, and you fall in love when they are just being friendly. |

I had that happen to me. A coworker was just being friendly. I knew he was married. And I confused his friendship for love. And I lost his friendship forever.

Love and loneliness have no limit. I didn't realize how easy they were to confuse until you guys started sharing experiences and I now realize what I may have done to ruin one of my best female/male friendships. I confused his friendship with love when I felt lonely in my BF/GF relationship. That friend never talked to me again after I told him my feelings. He said I ruined our friendship.

I'm sorry you know how it feels. It does such when one person in a friendship falls in love. It's hard. |

I know. And why does the other person feel like they have to say, "Bye forever." Why does it have to be all or nothing?

In trying to understand their perspective, they probably can't hang out with you the same again knowing you're going "ahhh I love him I love him." (Just to over-simplify).
