If you are talking about a romantic love, then no. One is enough. You can control that. Love does not just happen, you either let it grow by nurturing it, or you let it die by not nurturing it. Romantic love does not do well when divided. You should fully commit yourself to one, and they should fully commit to you.

I don't know if its ok but it happens. We are always open to having our hearts stolen by another. Some people say, there are too many people in the world for you to be able to say that the one you have chosen is really THE ONE. Personally, I heard a bell toll when I saw my husband to be and he is the only man that after 27 years still gives me butterflys in my stomach when I know he is near. And I ALWAYS know when he is near...

Its not always that straight forward tho,because one may not be giving you the right attention and the other one gives you the love you need its quite possible to love 2 people at once but not for the right reasons,its very difficult to give your full undivided attention to two people.

Well whether its okay or not depends on the ethics and the acceptance of all persons concerned. It can actually happen in my experience, but not for long - usually when you are in transition from having romantic feelings for one and then another - there can be some overlap but if one looks closer then at any given moment the romantic feeling is for one person, but that may change between the two, or more, moment by moment. There is polymory (having many loves) - in principle from what I know it is possible to cultivate loving many people at a time but dont have enough experience to comment on it.

You cant. you can be sexually attracted to numerous people though.

this is kind of a general statement but love is not somthing we can control. love knows no boundries, colors, ages, life style, social statuses, or sex. it chooses people for its own reasons and it is not up to us to question those reasons.

There is a HUGE difference between loving someone and BEING IN LOVE with someone. It's NOT OK, to be IN love with more than one person, but unfortunately it happens.... also as unfortunate, it often happens you can be IN love with someone and either they don't return the affection OR you have lost them (divorce, breakup etc) and you are forced to move on, and you fall IN love again but you are still IN love with the love you previously had.

Its not only NOT okay, its dangerous. Jealousy is the motivator. One man, one woman. A love triangle is a diagram for trouble. See it everyday in domestic violence.

If you mean romantically, then I have to say no. True love does not share it's affections. If you truly love someone you must guard your heart against temptations. If you feel an attraction to someone else or if your relationship is rocky at the moment be extra careful. I actively try to stay away form anything that might cause me to question my commitment to my husband. Dividing your loyalties will only cause pain for all involved.
