| | what is love?Page 1 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | | So what is love? is it something you can't describe to another unless they've been there?Is it a chemical reaction to a set of circumstances? Is it a myth? OR is it different things to each of us? Do you believe in it or is it just something those clever card and flower companies made up in order to part a fool and his or her money?! | |

I think my dad found it with his second wife, its something completely different to those early heady romantic days at the beginning which fade. He was able to talk to her without saying anything, a look,a smile or a touch, Ive never found that. | |

Thus, when you fall out of love with someone, those things you don't like but accepted, drive you up the ******* wall and it's the beginning of the end! | |

Love is ... Undefinable due to it's multi-facetted individual nature. Love is different for everyone.
Love is ... a chemical reaction, as all emotions are. It could be argued that it's the one emotion that neutralises all the others.
Love is ... the one thing that validates our existence be it the love of our partners, children, friends, animals, art, music, nature .... | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 12:26:08 AM | Love is as message 6 said accepting someone for them regardless
Getting them butterflies when you know your gonna see them
Missing them when your apart
Wanting to spend any spare time you have with them
Knowing that you dont have to tell them constantly you love them cos you both know anyways.................. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 12:27:00 AM | To many cliches around but my strong belief is that:
1) You have to have a certain mindset to experience it
2) You'll know when it is
Unless you live with the mindset of 'add water for instant partner' which means you'll never find it  | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 1:06:22 AM | Love is an emotion like elation or fear
To me love is how I feel about my daughter is unconditional
Love for my family is the same but not as strong,
I have been In love several times, but if I really loved them why don't I still feel it now,
Being or falling in love didn't last forever for me, so love means different things it is just an emotion that we feel.
Gosh it is also too early to get my head around all this love stuff, I am beginning to bore myself.....anyway..
What's love got to do with it... it's a second hand emotion ...

It had to be done.

On a serious note, I don't think about what love is, because I don't need to know or understand what it is.
I know who and what I love... and that's the important thing.
My idea of love might not be the same as somebody else's and I might not agree with other opinions on it, but as there's no definitive explanation of what love is, then who is to say who's right or wrong.
Unless I have reason to believe someone is lying... if they say they love someone or something, then that is good enough for me. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 1:50:17 AM | I'm not entirely sure what love is but I think part of it is wanting the person you love to be happy and fulfilled, and going the extra mile at times to make that happen, if you can.
I've never understood why people who are supposed to love each other stop the other person doing things or achieving stuff that would make them happy. I have married friends whose husbands don't like them going out, or who try to stop them improving their appearance for example. That's not real love imo.
I don't beleive in unconditional love though. You should love yourself enough to put some conditions on the way others treat you. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 1:52:39 AM | | I think love is a bond between two people that is difficult to break and can exsist between any two people, it just means that your life is better with that other person in it, and even though sometimes the other person sometimes drives you crazy you really couldnt imagine your life without them. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 5:23:21 AM | | its when you trust someone to never let you down. Ever. And then they do. As said in another post love may not last forever and you can fall in love more than once. | |

I might wonder why I feel a certain way.
However, I don't think I've ever asked what those feelings are... I just don't see the point, because I don't need to know what love, fear, happiness, lusty, etc are.
Someone else can tell me what their impression of a feeling is and what that emotion is to them... but for something as abstract as an emotion, there could be a different answer for every person on the planet.
There is no definitive answer to the question | |

I agree that love is subjective and that you have to feel it in order to understand it. I've questioned it many times myself...and it only makes sense to me when I've felt it.

Posted: 5/22/2012 8:31:06 AM | | Love is about being able to have sex anywhere with that person and being able to walk in front of the naked and being able to say wow! Turn up in front of their house butt naked wearing just coat, feck the flowers Lmao. When any woman does that for you and you didn't paid for her services then you know guys she loves you Lmao. | |

Posted: 5/22/2012 8:49:44 AM | It's an emotion you feel for your kids which has been ripped off by an industry that makes billions from conning adults that it exists for them, that it can be "found".... and another industry that deals with maintenance and reinforcement and another that deals with the mess afterwards.
Love is never ending, you never doubt it and you seek nothing in return, it's just there and it always will be. It's not fragile, it's the strongest emotion you could ever feel and nothing could ever even dent it. You can't fall out of it nor can it fade away.
Many people say there are different kinds of love, these people are deluded. Love is too sacred to dilute it and ultimately cheapen the strongest most wonderful emotion a human being can feel. Love doesn't depend on constant maintenance and reinforcement and it doesn't stop and start between partners, because you never even had it....you weren't even close.
We can all feel some of the constituent elements of love for another person, but it's never quite the sum of it's parts, it's never quite the real deal, it's a bit like an imperfect diamond...almost perfect. Too many relationships founder because people aren't happy with almost, there's that missing little bit they chase after which creates a lot of negative emotions if you let it, you'll end up constantly having to prove it and reassure. Relationships that last are just grateful for the elements that exist, thrive off them and cherish them.

Love can be hell
Love is exquisite
Love is excruciatingly painful
Love can be destructive
