How many people can you be in love with at once
 

do you think there is only one person you can be in love with or can you be in love with mutiple people? is there only one soulmate for everyone.

I think you can be in love with many people but society makes you choose one to settle with :2 cents:

or maybe I have never really been in love

as many as your wallet lets you

Lust many, no need to love anyone! lol

Love can occupy two space at the same time.

Everybody has more than one soulmate. If you are with your 'soulmate' and find a better 'soulmate' then that first person is no longer your true soulmate.

The Model assumes people fall in love because the total benefit of being in love outweighs the total cost of being in love. So the probability of falling in love is related to your perception of the probability of net benefit resulting from being in love. Mathematically, the Model is written as:

Probability of Love = Probability of ( Net Benefit of Being in Love, Emotional Availability, Past Love Experiences )
---------------------------------------:---------------------------------------
Net Benefit = Total Benefit - Total Cost
---------------------------------------:---------------------------------------
Total Benefit = friendship + fulfillment of sexual needs
friendship = fulfillment of ( emotional needs + entertainment needs + materialistic needs - sexual needs)
Total Benefit = fulfillment of (emotional needs + entertainment needs + materialistic needs)
emotional needs = esteem needs + social needs + spiritual needs + safety needs
materialistic needs = primary needs + sexual needs + materialistic desires
---------------------------------------:---------------------------------------
Total Cost = cost of (search + rejection + research + maintenance + opportunity) + breakup risk
search cost = your attractiveness + social networking skills + time cost + financial cost
rejection cost = -(your self-esteem + frequency of past rejections)
research cost = knowledge of self + diagnostic abilities + proximity
maintenance cost = emotional cost +
time cost to fulfill emotional, entertainment, materialistic needs +
financial cost to fulfill emotional, entertainment, materialistic needs
breakup risk = risk of being dumped + your breakup cost
---------------------------------------:---------------------------------------
Commitment = future net benefit - future net benefit from another love + current breakup cost

I used to think that it was only possible to love one at a time. You can put feelings aside for someone, when you meet someone else & fall in love with that person, but the other persons feelings dont dissipate, if its truely love. Sometimes you can find yourself drawn to 2 very different types of people, you love certain things about each of them, and theres no right or wrong about the things that seperate the two, and it can be very confusing. I've never loved more than 2 people at once, but I'm sure its possible, look at those Poly marriages, with 4 or 5 wives, and they ALL seem to be IN LOVE with each other? Who knows, the heart has only the limits in which you try your best to impose.

you can love as many as your heart has room for

I still love my wife (seperated) but I love my girlfriend too...oh ya and my dog

love always ends up my downfall or should i say woman.

Fuck love :321GFY

i used to think only with one, untill i fall in love with another girl... so my answer is multiple ppl :thumbsup

I guess everyone is different. For me, just one.

I can't even handle dating more than one person at once, let alone trying to love that many.

depends on how drunk i am

You can love as many as you can take, but you can be IN love only with one person.

Sorry to disagree with the majority...

...but if it is true love, there can be only one.

i've been in love with 2 men at the same time before.
its very confusing (and very mentally draining) trying to figure out WHY but sometimes, it just happens.

Agreed Roger

So Roger you must have received replies from two girls on myspace.com?

:1orglaugh

hmm thats a good question, wish i could anserw but I am in love, and it scares the crap out of me LOL. it would be horrible to love more then my girlfriend LOL it would get to me lol

Damn Steve, You going to school to be the next Dr. Ninja Steve after Phil gets too old? :)

i think you can only be in real love with one person at a time.
now you can be in love and also in lust and infatuated with others though.
but real love is a one at a time thing i feel.

I think there are many types of love, for your mom, your dog, your significant other..I think people often mistake Love for what is really Lust, Infatuation, Stability..or just because you know they love you...I think you can only be IN LOVE with one person at a time. But you can love many in other ways....as for soumates, thats a hard one. I have personally only had one so far, and its sad to think I wont have another :2 cents:

But everytime I fly into another city or country I fall in Love.

LOL Myspace is Rocking http://profiles.myspace.com/users/15389669

And don't be stealing any of my space girls :winkwink:

just one. unless you're a manwhore or something. ;)

Totally agree :thumbsup

you can only TRULY love one person, but i still have love for some of my long term ex' and i will always, the feeling is mutual across the board with them also, how can you stop loving someone that was a great expierience in your life? you cant, doesnt mean you will go back to them though.

only one 4 me!!!

Roger, what kinda trouble have you gotten yourself into now?

I think you can only be truly in love with one person at a time, you could lust over many at the same time but true love is only one

Roger, I'll straighten your ass out next time I see you :pimp :1orglaugh

You can love many people on many different levels...

But you can be 'in love' with only one person, in that being in love means total devotion and dedication...

You can't give 'total' devotion to more than one person...

Think about it.............
