| what is love to you ?
Posted: 6/15/2009 10:00:09 PM | I write this article for many reasons , let me explain .
Many of us { most of us } are either in love or a search for love , "
what is the problem " you might
ask ?
one is that there are millions of people in the world , and many of us
have a different idea of what
love is , or how it is to be expressed . Too some love is best
expressed by spending huge amounts of
time with one another , to others it is judged by what you do for the
person { he bought me a
Porsche he must love me } . to me it is seeing the sun rise and set in
the eyes of my partner , it is the
thought that there is no joy without them . it is seeing them at their
worst and still having a passion for
them .
One reason so many people don't know what love is is because they have
never had TRUE love .
I will not sit here and say that I know all that love is , but I will
say what it is not .
Love is NOT : fitting your partner into your schedule only when it is
convenient for you .
Love is NOT : putting friends and job before your partner .
Love is NOT : putting you partner to a physical / financial standard
that he/she dare not fall from .
Love is NOT : making your partner responsible for all the things your
past lovers have done to you .
here are a few of my ideas of what love is .
Love is : putting your partner first in life
Love is : loving your partner for who they are .
Love is : when you cant imagine being with anyone else .
Love is : spending plenty of time with each other without being forced
{ if you hardly see you lover
then he/she is not your lover} .
Now I know many of you women out there view men who want to be with
you 24/7 as needy , but
I've heard many who say that men who spend very little time with you
are dogs well to that I say take
your pick . I you want a good man find one that's wants to be with you
and stop wasting time with
those that don't .
And guys quit trying to buy the affections of women , if she really
truly likes/loves you then she
would do so even if you were broke .
now I curious to know what you guys think love is ? | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 10:22:12 PM | | I think more men need to be romantic... Love to me is being so intune with someone that you can both be in the same room never have to say a word and the other knows that you still love them by a stroke across their back as you pass by them working or touching thighs while you sit and watch a tv show. To me love is not having to buy me the world but just to share it with me. Love is the little things in life like I love you written on his sandwhich bag in his packed lunch. Corney I know but its the simple little things in life that make each day bearable! | |

I would like to hear more women give their opinions before this thread is lost. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 10:51:35 PM | Let me break it down...
At first love is all butterfly's and raging hormones and exciting
Love is Kind
Love is KNOWING all the downsides to someone and being crazy about them in spite of it
Love is when your willing to compromise.
Love is when you think about that person MORE than yourself.
Love is WORK.
And love is wonderful if both people are in love and dedicated to eachother.
But sadly its not easy to find. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 11:02:19 PM | Love is being there for each other ...good times and the bad times...
Steady, true, caring, devoted...
When we are 85 yrs. old we still look at each other and still think of each other as the sexiest and most wondrous person you ever met. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 11:06:53 PM | OP -- Oh man...this is easy...
Love is...when you can look at your 90 year old mate and immediately (and only) see them as "the one" you fell in love with years ago.
Followed by a round of Canasta or Bingo. Whichever. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 1:13:26 AM | | Love is not d1cking people about...and risking it all, no matter how clever you think you are, because for once in your life you can admit to being vulnerable with no shame. | |
|
| what is love to you ?
Posted: 6/16/2009 1:39:13 AM | | love is being able to open up and be totally honest about all aspects of life. Love is also being able to trust another person. Trusting and believing and enjoying a person.It is wanting the best for someone | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 7:00:30 AM | Love is an aching desire to be with the one you care for.
It is the willingness to drive 3000 miles to get them if they are stranded.
It is being in a room with a bevy of beauties but only seeing the one you love.
It is the feeling of being centered when they are with you, and a little bit unbalanced when they are gone.
It is the ability to accept their "less than stellar" ways, knowing that everything else makes up for it.
It is, at times, indescribable.
It is what we all long for. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 7:26:10 AM | Love for me is.....
Warmth on a cold winters night.
The wiping of a tear when I'm hurting.
The ear that listens to me and tells me everything will be OK and not to worry.
The eyes that watch me when I sleep...and I don't mean the cats.
The 'I can't wait to see you'.
The 'I'm not going to the pub anymore with the guy's'.....I want to be with you.
The 'YES I'll squeeze that zit'......Mmmmm maybe not that one! 
The best of all is lying in the arms with the person YOU love who loves YOU without a word being spoken.

Posted: 6/16/2009 7:53:19 AM | Well, as I was told the last evening, "Years from now I want us to see the affection for each other in our eyes from clear across the room, that we see this evening"
I must admit, that was pretty lovely to hear.
Love to me is pretty simple, it is caring and compassion, respect and intimacy. Having the courage to voice your words of love and having the willingness to move forward because you know, in your heart that if that person was not in your life, while your life may be good, there would be something missing.
Love is the ability to be brave and trusting in another's heart and soul as well as being courageous enough to open your heart to someone. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 8:04:13 AM | | ^^^ so totally agree. Saying I love you to someone else is a brave act. It is trusting that person not to throw it back in your face unwanted. If that happens the self worth of the person who said it is damaged. It is said because a person is opening their heart to you. If rejected the person has to move on in life and with time and compassion will heal. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 10:17:15 AM | | Love is...the last slice of pizza on the plate. Grabbing a slicer, cutting off the crust and feeding your SO the rest to watch the cheese going in her mouth. Then kissing her to get two great tastes. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 10:34:22 AM | "What is looove? ...Baby don't hurt me.... don't hurt me... no more"
Well apparently someone's asked that same question almost 18 years ago and still hasn't found the answer, so I don't blame you OP.
Love to me would be........putting up with my selfish grabbing of the last larger slice of pizza, only to let me get her a whole new one to have for next time. Then make sure I take her to the park to walk it all off. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 11:02:15 AM | Let's make this real simple: love is one part attachment and one part lust.
Women tend to emphasize the former, men the latter. | |
|
| what is love to you ?
Posted: 6/16/2009 11:11:20 AM | Love is putting your heart in his/her hands and knowing that it won't be handed back to you in pieces.
Love is being 90 and turning to your partner saying ....what a ride but I love the fact we rode the rollercoaster of life together.
In the pizza spirit...love is eating the crust hand letting him have the pepperoni. | |

Best answer yet.

Posted: 6/16/2009 11:45:10 AM | Love is a Hallmark card moment of saccharin, mawkish pap, that brings crocodile tears to my eyes and inspires me to blather on about the basic goodness of mankind.
I actually don't KNOW what love is...I never had it! SOB!  | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 12:09:08 PM | Honestly, I've contemplated that for years, and have developed the answer that it is true what you truly love you have to let go of. True love is with deepest respect. True love has to be found in you before truly loving another person. Otherwise it is oppressive and controlling. True love can not be contained, as you love yourself, you grow to love others, and that goes without bounds and restrictions.
~~(I wrote that in another forum:what's the best intellectual question for showing off how intelligent and attractive you are?!)
Love should make you happy, and be willing to 'work on it' when at times you are not happy. Love is giving and taking equally. Love is understanding and being helpful. Love is being able to trust and miss each other if you spend time apart.
I would believe you know when you are "in love" when you feel that person is an extension of yourself, and there is no further question about it. I do not know that feeling, but will know it someday I'm sure. Happy Fishing everyone!! | |

*hands bodypro8 kleenex*
Love is
* giving him my last piece of dang chocolate!
* seeing him and not seeing anyone else around us.
* accepting him for who he is and who he wants to be
* being 90 years old and still looking forward to waking next to him.
* a sugarfilled give me a cavity hallmark card
* that inexplicable zing in my brain, heart and soul that I feel when I'm with him.
eh what do I know? I don't have a boyfriend and failed in my marriage. I should revise the list me thinks. | |

^^^
Yeah! I failed in my marriage, but I'm cool with it as it was 100% her fault. But I accept my share of the responsibility ( 0 ).
No boyfriend? I'll go out with you! | |
