Zayn Malik Opens Up About Love, Relationships and Dating: "I Don't Know If I've Ever Been In Love"

[@ScarlettJ1221]

[@esmby]

He seems like a very honest person. My best guess is that his perception of love changed overtime. What he believed was true love is not something he believes in today. He has values now, which add to his own definition of "true" love. Glad to see he's doing well.

[@mohondangsawa]

[@jadwigarose25]

Okay, so I kinda get where Zayn is coming from. To me, he’s saying that because he did not like himself until now that it interfered with his capacity for love. Yes, he was engaged and has a child and got Gigi’s eyes tatted on him but what if those relationships were only half loves? Maybe strong infatuation? It sounds messed up but we are flawed beings. So many people are in relationships to fill a void or as a distraction. Or to not be alone. He talks now about finally liking this person he is now and maybe with this new found self acceptance he can later on be able to love someone in full. I don’t take what he said as an insult towards any of his previous relationships (still I get if his partners do) cause to me he is being honest about how he does not believe he has experienced real romantic love. Love in the ways that his previous partners have deserved and not just half because he was too afraid to even love himself and be truthful to himself. Many times relationships end when one partner is giving their all and the other is not. I think that may have been the case with him many times. Because of fear of love or commitment or perception. Anyway, I wish him the best.

[@analuciadiazvaldez3116]

You are so right 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 because the lyrics of his songs are very sad and seems like he was in pain because he wasn’t with her. Soooo he wasn’t fully In love but she was important for him 😞😞😞

You know mostly ppl in current gen are doing the same, filling the void. I have done that. Living alone made me feel like killing myself bcz then I would have too much time to think about yourself and you don't want wdo that when your mental health is shite so you hold onto that one person who is treated you a bit nicely and showing interest in you (that's why many remain in toxic relationship bcz many times they treat you nicely in beginning and later on turn shitty but you still hang on bcz filling the void feels like a necessity

Zayn released “love like this” on my birthday 🥹🥹

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

True love is feeling like you can’t live without someone, and caring about them desperately. It’s an all consuming passion, perhaps obsession, perhaps unhealthy, but that’s what Zayn probably means when he says he’s never feel it. It’s like the kind of love Jack and Rose had in Titanic, like Romeo and Juliet.

[@jeffmendez02]

[@Mariexo12]

Proposing to someone/getting someone’s face tattooed on you to then say “I’ve never really been in love” is _wild._

[@feefs2139]

Smh and making a whole human. Society is too backwards.

[@wellno9]

People are not perfect. Looking back in hindsight of what he probably THOUGHT was love, he sees the truth now, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure they both thought it was love back then, but now they realise it probably was not. That's inherently no fault of his or Gigi's, what matters now is that he actually does love his daughter

[@VONiiE8]

@@wellno9 no one said anything about being not being perfect. Nor is anyone faulting Zayn for anything. Zayn said he wasn’t in love which I think is a wild statement to say considering he tattooed 2 women on him, was engaged to one, and started a family with the other. You can make all the assumptions you want, I can even agree. That doesn’t change that fact that what he said, and what we know to be true, is that he did not love them. Maybe he should’ve chosen his words better, or explained himself. However he didn’t and this is all I have to go by.

@thesigfrjgt1510 heres your answer to Zayns changing sentiments in regards to love songs he's written in the past: "I've been reading old shit and I can't make sense of it." "Don't take me for what I'm saying just take me for what I am" What I Am by Zayn from his new album Room Under the Stairs. Zayn says he's always been in relationships 17 year old and early 20s and for first time at 31 years old he feels he doesn’t need another person to define himself... he's ok by himself. You got to learn yo love yourself and be with yourself before being able to love others. Zayns' past relationships have been called codependent relationships... that's not TRULY being in love and is unhealthy. Zayn has tattooed on his arm the words to poem by khalil gilbran: But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
