Posted: 6/18/2009 11:49:16 AM | | The ancient Greeks called it Agape Love...UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, expecting nothing in return. That is the love we have for our family. Eros love is the same love a man has for a woman, Filos love is the love someone has for their brother (Philadelphia) . Think of it, if I love someone on an unconditional basis, and expect nothing back, love for the sake of it,they will recognize and return that Love. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 12:33:07 PM | | Love contains an emotional quality and attraction to someone that I find impossible to accurately describe in words despite my BA degree in English. However, there are other aspects which are easier to pin down. When you find yourself absolutely at ease with the thought of spending your remaining life with someone, chances are you've found love. If you can feel confident that come what may, you can face anything the future throws at you and your partner and come through smiling, you've likely found love. Love makes us want to do whatever we can to compensate for any possible flawes or weaknesses your partner may have so that he or she can live in the most optimal manner possible. Love can make us overlook or put up with things we would never tollerate in anybody else. Love involves complete trust and respect for one's partner. It can propell us to incredible hights and bring out the very best in our nature. The only trouble is that it can't always conquer all and isn't always reciprocated. Having one's love unrequited or worse, betrayed outright, has got to be the worst kind of emotional pain one can suffer with the possible exception of the death of a loved one. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 12:44:19 PM | Love...
The most spectacular, indescribable, deep feeling for someone...love is an incredibly powerful word.... when you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete...... this love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone.... it's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other.... when you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own.... you hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa..... it's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity..... love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other..... it's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.... love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate.... everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love..... if you find it, don't let it go. | |

Love is muffins, boots and corsets and IMO not some made up wistful claptrap imagined up via magic mushrooms from the realms of fairy tales and the need to be loved by those who will listen or buy any olde rot, nor indeed to take advantage of the weak of mind - most unsettling and downright predatory.
Tooters of to indulge in a plate of ice cream as i find this indulgent nonsense rubbish (IMO of course) *smiles
Aaaaaaaaaaah, a breath of fresh air, wicked desires, amidst the gooey, languid, mass of putrefaction that constitutes the string of nonsense pervasive in this thread.
(Note the alliteration created by the use of the word "string", with "thread"; just my little effort to crack poetic in the same mood as this drivel.)
I truly think that this thread was voted off, but is being posted to, now, posthumously. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 2:56:40 PM | love to me is seeing that person for who they really are not just physical appearance, accepting their total flaws and quirks and loves you for it!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:07:49 PM | | Love is a feeling you get when you first meet someone....that just never fades with time. Love is the excitement you feel when they walk in the room and the desire you have to just spend time together doing anything at all. Love is knowing that you've made a connection with someone that will endure, that will past the test of time and the challenges of life and living. Love is the intimacy and chemistry that exists and can be nurtured and grown physically and psychically. Love is a lot of things but always must involve a trust and a friendship above all else-a "you can count onn me no matter what" factor . That's the essence of love to me | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:10:54 PM | Love is....purely for the sake of it...
never for what you hope to gain out of it.
Love is..being vulnerable....even to the point of hangin' on a roman tree....
and loving, anyway.
...can mere mortals explain such a thing?
these other things have little to do with it...
"Love is the flimsiest excuse that binds two incompatible people together long enough to ensure their mutually created progeny will resent their very existence forever...."
(naaah, thats a bit too cynical, but it does come across these boards) | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:27:07 PM | Love to me is:
Waking up everyday with a smile on your face because they beside you and the first thing you think of is, "what can I do to make him/her smile today.
Craving him/her physically and not even being able to imagine being with another.
Feeling those little butterflies in the pit of your stomach at the sight of him/her.
Those electric shocks that flit through your body at the slightest touch.
Always thinking ahead of time before you act or say something that will hurt them.
Putting their needs and wants before your own.
Giving your all to them without thought of what you might get back(that applies to everything within the relationship).
Being with them through the good times and bad.
Accepting them for who they are, faults, quirks and all.
yeah, I think that is what it felt like... for me anyway. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:38:08 PM | | Love to me is accepting me for who I am...to be able to love the person I am such a powerful thing. Yet others will always seek this 'feeling' elsewhere, only to find it's a temporary stay when others give it. You can’t plant a good seed in bad soil. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:58:43 PM | Mortalez - BEHOLD - I SHALL REVEAL UNTO THEE HENCEFORTH THE MEANING OF THE GREAT MYSTERY OF "LOVE"...
Dude, it's a simple thing...I'm surprised nobodie's been able to figure this one out for 12,000 years. The definition is right there - it's so easy a toddler could get it.
LOVE: TO HAVE EQAUL OR GREATER CONCERN FOR THE WELFARE OF ANOTHER, THAN ONE HAS FOR THE WELFARE OF ONE'S SELF - Period.
Wooooooow - now that was rocket science wasn't it? Dude - it is crayons and birthday cake. SIMPLE.
It takes a lot of different forms - but it has a straight forward static, cast in iron definition.
PEACE. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 6:38:27 PM | LOVE IS A SOLDIER
Love is not always blind
but it puts on the blinders
It isn’t always kind
to the keepers or finders
Love is what you may find
when you are running away
Love is a soldier
when the heart has a mind
not to run, but to stay
By other names it still marches on
and sleeps in the trenches when the lover is gone
when emptied of rations it feeds on lost hope
before a new dawn at the end of the rope
Love drags its feet in the mud
It salvages roots and leaves
Love is a soldier that no one bereaves
An honourable death is one fought in war
but love never dies, it lives forevermore
It doesn’t matter who keeps it or finds it
It can never be lost
an army will move to defend it
whatever the cost
You can never run away from it
or bury it in the dunes
when no one is looking
like some stolen treasure
When you try to define it
It shape shifts beyond measure
You will never deny it but can always try
Love is a soldier that looks you in the eye.

Another breeze of sanity in a sea of blather.
(Although I think I enjoyed your question: "What's the density in qaurk diameters of a singlefold qauntum spatial hypersurface with dimensions T = INFINITY as X approaches zero, LOL", equally or greater. Now would that be a love, thelonelydude?)

The thought of spending my remaining life with someone, that's the clincher for me I think.
if I love someone on an unconditional basis, and expect nothing back, love for the sake of it,they will recognize and return that Love. My sister in law did this and won the heart of my brother. I don't always agree with their lifestyle but they truly do love each other. I think I have too much baggage to do this though. I tried and failed. I'll keep trying. | |

Love is the power that moves; the unrelenting fire within that make the spirit bright.
Love is the careless brush that paints masterpieces; the pen strokes of the lyricist.
Love is the last calming voice you hear before passing; yet, the tearful joy expressed for a baby's first cry at birth.
Love is having the wisdom and kindness to save someone in their hardest moment...even when it's your own, too.
Love is being the believer, even when believing is wrong.
Love is the meal you make to feed your lover as you beat her home from work; because you know she'd do it for you.
Love is.....everything.

Posted: 6/19/2009 8:19:14 PM | | Love is a release of chemical endophorins into your brain to make you feel good when you see someone you want to mate with. It is a evolutionary tool to keep us from not mating and dying out. Nothing more nothing less. Quit making it seem so elegant. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 8:51:08 PM | Let's see...what is love to me....hmmm....
Love to me is...
Monogamy - This is not a compromise. This is not up for debate. If you ever feel the need to cheat on me, and decide to lay the blame on me for your cheating, you do not love me, in the way I want to be loved. I don't care what kind of excuses you have, or how sorry you are, if you truly love me, you will tell me what's wrong, so that we can try and work it out, before you start flirting with someone else. If you cheat on me, I will never be able to trust you again...ever, and I will say goodbye to you...forever.
Patience - If you love me, you know that I am not perfect and that I make mistakes sometimes. You have the wisdom to know this and the patience to show it. You also know, that you're not perfect either, and sometimes, you need patience from me too.
Loyalty - This is not to be confused with monogamy although they can both intertwine with each other. If you are loyal to me, you value my opinion on things, above others sometimes. If you are loyal to me, you defend me, if your mother occasionally puts me down. If you are loyal to me, you are proud to introduce me to your friends, coworkers, etc, and don't try to "hide" me from people you know. In other words, it's not all about you, all the time. Sometimes, it is about me. And sometimes, I need you to step up to the plate, and "be there" for me.
Respect - You treat me the way you'd want to be treated, and know that I will except nothing less. I will not tolerate any kind of verbal, psychological or physical abuse from you. I will not tolerate being belittled by you. I will not tolerate you "putting me down" in some way in front of others. If you respect me, you will not ask me to do things that I am not comfortable with. If you respect me, you will know that I have the right to say "no" every once in awhile...to anything that you request.
Support - As man, you want your woman to "have your back". Well, we need the same support from you. I need you to lean on sometimes. I need your advice and guidance sometimes. We may not agree on everything all the time, but I need to know, that my emotional well being is important to you, just as yours is to me. I need to know that if I've had a rough day, I can talk to you about it. I don't expect you to "fix" everything for me all the time. Sometimes, I just want you to listen. Sometimes, that alone, can make me feel better.
Honesty - I need you to be honest with me, and I mean 100% honest. Yes, I do need to know your sexual history if you want to have sex with me eventually. Yes, I do need to know your entire life history, if you want me to tell you anything about mine. Yes, I do need to know about every skeleton in your closet, if you want to know about mine. Yes, I do need to know if you slept with that stripper in Vegas while we were temporarily broken up, before we got back together. Our secrets keep us sick, and the bigger our secrets, the sicker we stay. So, if you love me, you will be honest with me. I can handle the truth. It's the lying about it, that makes me angry.
Compassion - If you love me, you have a compassionate streak, because honestly, I don't click well with people who don't have one. You don't assume that homeless people should just "get a job". You don't automatically write off a recovering addict who's trying to get their life together. You don't automatically judge someone who suffers from mental illness and is struggling with every day life. If you love me, you know that I care about people, and I enjoy helping others sometimes. You don't resent it, because you care about people too. You also show compassion towards me, because I am different and have my own struggles. If you love me, I don't have to explain this one to you. You just know this. | |
