11th Nov: Who do you love?

i have been in love a couple of times but never told them personally i once texted my first love but i think she loved me as after our first conversation on the bus she gave me her number and i left it a few weeks before pulling a simple trick i ask a mutual friend for her number (he was there the first time) and he gave the matching number so i trusted it but my latest love i haven't told her but i have conversations with her and we have a lot in common

I love all of my relatives and that's about it.

This week on BBC Radio 1’s Surgery with Gemma and Dr Radha, we’re talking about LOVE!

Have you ever been in love? Or do you really want to fall in love but it hasn’t happened yet? Perhaps there’s a special person in your life that you want to say the L word to, but you don’t know how to? But we’re not just talking about relationships - we’re talking about all-important family love and platonic love, too!

I used to be a "glass half-empty" person; I always focused on the negatives and I isolated myself from everyone else. I focused on my schoolwork and I had no social life whatsoever. I was cynical and depressed and to be honest, I hated myself.
I thought love was for stupid people. Even if it wasn't, what chance did I have? I didn't even know my sexuality.

Then a year ago, I met someone and she changed my mind. She stuck out from the crowd like a rose in a field of daisies. I'll never forget her eyes; they were like cups of hot chocolate. She was the whole package; intelligent, kind, artistic, with a fantastic sense of humour, and there were so many similarities between us. We listened to the same music, watched the same shows, had the same hobbies...
She was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen, inside and out.

I know I'll never meet her again but even now, 365 days later, I can still picture her in my mind's eye. I've spent hours trawling through Google Images; no matter how hard I search, I can never find anyone as pretty as she was.

She's inspired me to keep going, to keep living and to never give up. So much has changed since I've met her. I'm happier, more determined, more outgoing; I've improved myself in ways you can't imagine. My appearance, my personality, my health, my outlook; she changed them all with a click of her fingers.
My world has never been so bright.

I'm constantly hoping that I'll see her again, even for a moment, so I can hold her in my arms and thank her. My greatest wish is to repay her and support her and love her, even if she only sees me as a friend. I'd do anything for her and, if she's reading this, she'll never know who I'm talking about.

So, to those of you who are sad and lonely, to those of you who don't believe in love... Never give up because life will notice; it'll send you your guardian angel.
Just as it did for me.

I've never been in love romantically, and I don't think I've ever even experienced proper family love before. My parents are divorced, my mum struggles with poor mental health so I've never had a proper relationship with her. Both of my parents are very religious but I am not, so I've never been able to be open or close with them.

I've definitely experienced infatuation - I'm 21 now, but in my whole life I've obsessed over two people. One was a stereotypical cringe high school teenage crush thing, and the other is currently ongoing, but not reciprocated.

I'm quite a reserved person, and don't normally get attached to people unless I feel they are worth the time, because I don't like opening up. The current situation is upsetting me because I'm pretty sure he's only interested in something casual, which I just can't deal with.... But in the unlikely chance he likes me back and things go well, I'm pretty sure he'll be the first person I'd fall in love with. Just being with him feels different to anyone else I've been with.

Sometimes I just wish I could press a button on my body that switched off all my feelings so I could focus on more important things in life like uni work
