What is the difference between loving someone and being in love?Denise Cohen: To love someone is a simple act that is passed from one person to the next. To be in love is an emotion or feeling that at times, cannot be described but feels good.
Otis Clayborne: You are supposed to love everyone and you are in love with the person you can see yourself with for a long time.
Rashad Morgan: When you love someone you feel like making them happy at all costs.
Can you be in love with more than one person at the same time?
Nneka Meka: No, you can’t be in love with two people at the same time because one will always triumph over the other.
Christina Johnson: It’s not possible. It’s possible to lust for someone while you are in love with someone else.
O.C.: No, it’s like loving God and the Devil at the same time (it just can’t happen).
R.M.: Yes, because you could love different things about each one.
How do you know when you are in love?
D.C.: You can’t eat or sleep and you go to sleep and wake up thinking about that person.
N.M.: You are in love when at times the needs of that person come before your own. They are constantly on your mind and when you think about them you get that butterfly feeling.
C.J.: That’s true. When you can’t concentrate on what you have to do and when you remember every word they’ve said and get excited over the little things they do.
When is it ok for friends to become lovers?
D.C.: When lights go out.
N.M.: They become lovers when they both realize that the line has been crossed, and they can’t go back to being simply platonic.
C.J.: When boundaries have been dropped.
O.C.: When a mutual agreement has been met.
R.M.: When both of ya’ll are lonely and in the heat of passion.
Once they break-up can they still be friends?
D.C.: Nope. Once it’s over it’s over.
N.M.: It depends on the terms of the separation.
C.J.: It depends on how bad the break-up was.
O.C.: It depends on how the relationship ended.
R.M.: Yes, because there might have been other things that attracted you to each other. For instance your personality or sense of humor.
Can you turn a “hoe” into a housewife or a husband?
D.C.: With proper training and love. It’s like raising a new puppy.
N.M.: If he was a “hoe” and has shown adequate improvement in his mind set and his opinion of the female temple, then maybe I’ll risk opening my heart to him.
C.J.: Are you serious?! Prime example-R.Kelly. He’s supposed to be a husband and he’s still trickin’ around, with chicks decades younger than him at that. Once a trick, always a trick.
O.C.: Yes, I believe all people can change.
R.M.: No, because once you get turned out there’s always going to be that urge to sleep around.
Can you find true love at Prairie View?
D.C.: Yes.
N.M.: Anything’s possible.
C.J.: Hell to the no. If you can find a quality man on this campus send him to the newspaper office so we can take a picture and frame it.
O.C.: Yes because the fact that there are no good women or men at PV is a stereotype.
R.M.: Yes, there’s dimes and nickels everywhere. You’ve got the 4.0 chicks, the party chicks, and the bring her home to mama gals. I’m gonna get mine so you better get yours.
Is there such a thing as a soulmate?
C.J.: I am a hopeless romantic, so I do believe that there is a soulmate for everybody. However, I am starting to seriously doubt the possibility.
R.M.: Yes, I’ve already found my soulmate.
D.C.: I believe there is somebody for everybody.
O.C.: Yes, but if and only if you believe.
N.M.: Maybe, but I refuse to wait around for Prince Charming to fall in my lap or go in search of this perfect person who may or may not exist. I believe in a Christ mate, I can only pray that God provides me with someone worthy of me.
