| how would you define true love?
Posted: 3/28/2008 1:05:32 AM | There are so many different views that people have on here regarding a relationship.
So just how would you define true love, how do you feel about it, and if you have never been in love, how do you think you would feel about it? | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 2:25:40 AM | There is a school of thought that 'love' is either a psychotic state, or merely a mess of hormones.
Perhaps a more interesting angle would be identifying whether men do 'love', or merely indulge in 'lust modification'.
Jeez, get me on a cynical wet morning... | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 2:56:25 AM | Hard to define something so subjective.
I am going to run with an intimate relationship where things normally considered to be a sacrifice do not feel like one and this is mutual. | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 3:16:28 AM | I like crazytimes' definition.
To me it's where you'd make sacrifices for someone without even thinking twice or considering it a loss. It's where they are the first thing you think of in the morning, and the last before you fall asleep at night. It's where seeing them smile or getting an email/text from them lights you up inside like a firework. It's where you feel like you know what each other are thinking. It's where no matter what else happens in your life, it doesn't get you down for long because you have something so much more important. It's where you feel like the luckiest person alive, and they feel all of this just as much as you do.
I've felt a little like this once before... I want to find it again! | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 3:31:05 AM | this subject has been done thousands of times - obviously -and it is so easy to search too. search 'true love', search 'love', search 'what is love', search 'unconditional love'.
my thoughts - true love is, basically, love - love is complete and always true - no need to add the extra subjective word for there is no false love. if it's false, it is not love.
so 'true' love is unconditional - with absolutely no conditions.
they say we are love - it is our nature, is eternal and one with everything - so 'true' love to me is when we feel that connection to everything and is not necessarily only found with another person.....most, I think, believe they have found 'true love' because when they are with the other they feel their own love so strongly....but I believe it always comes from within oneself, not from the other person, and is a force and energy and feeling mirrored in the other (sometimes). | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 4:07:08 AM | crazygirl89, yes I like what you say, the fireworks and the WOW….
SlyKnight, also very true, I asked on here once something like ‘would you lay down your life for the lady you loved’
Some thought it as would you commit suicide, rather than give your life to save theirs….
And, …63 ‘weAre1’ I do agree that true love is unconditional, some on here think its related to muscles, body hair and the ape look rather than the ability to love. | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 4:23:49 AM | | my mom passed away 6wks ago from lung cancer. I massaged her, fed her by syringe, walked her, prayed for her, and took time off a good paying job to take care of her full time. There was a time when I looked at god and I asked if I could die with her and walk her to heaven. Now for me thats love. | |

I understand your position 100%, that was indeed true love,
crazygirl89, to see someone as young as yourself looking for the ‘fairytale’ kinda love is very nice, so many people of your age it seems look for the material aspects rather than the real things of love | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 5:07:04 AM | well.... here is my definition and how I would describe true love,….
Your mind is always thinking of her,
You lay in bed at night and she is on your mind,
She is the number one person of your dreams
Even without physical contact, you still hold her in the highest regard | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 5:07:10 AM | True love is when you genuinely care about someone else's happiness and well being, and they care about yours.
While it may change forms, when you truly love someone, it will last forever. | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 6:31:13 AM | | I agree with loveoregon except for the "Last forever" part. I think you have to work at it to make it last. | |
|
| how would you define true love?
Posted: 3/28/2008 7:06:44 AM | Unconditional love, complete trust, comfort, tingles every time you touch, a passion that never fades, they are your first thought when you wake up and the last before you go to sleep, forgetting everything and just enjoying "the moment" when she is near, the will to do anything just to see her smile, the person you see yourself growing old with.......a love that lasts forever without feeling like 'work'
Hope that all makes sense, its very hard to put into words | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 6:03:52 AM | How would I define true love??? There is only one real deffinition for true love..
I Cor. 13 " Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag and is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love doesn't get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong. Love never ends."
One could only hope thats how true love is, but sadly it's not.
I have been in love very much so, tried to apply these principles, yet know I am only human and fall short. I want to be loved so much, like anyone else. yet I wonder how many really want that. | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 6:45:26 AM | Humans expect and demand from others what we are most unwilling to give: unconditional love.
Which is quite accurate if you stop and think about it for a moment.
Although there would be many examples of this in life, here’s just one:
In the recent thread on Emotional Support, many people said it would be a dealbreaker if their loved one were not willing (or presumably able) to provide emotional support for them in a time of need.
I think that also implies “you will support me in the way I decide I need support, not in the way you are capable of providing support”
In other words, that says, or so it seems to me, "you must not only give support, you must be able to give it to me exactly when and how I say I need to be supported, or it won't be emotional support to me and I will dump your azz"
I rather suspect if someone were to say the same thing to them there would be some major protests about it.
I am not sure I know how to define what love is, but I feel it has to start with knowing and loving yourself... and has much more to do with giving, allowing and accepting than it does with demanding and expecting. | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 6:52:44 AM | True love is when you put the other person first. Its when you would give your life for that person. True love is forgiving, understanding and everlasting. Its a feeling in your heart that cant be explained. Its a feeling like no other. All the money in the world cant buy it. Its free. And who says guys cant be in touch with their feminine side?  | |

A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
I think that also implies “you will support me in the way I decide I need support, not in the way you are capable of providing support”
In other words, that says, or so it seems to me, "you must not only give support, you must be able to give it to me exactly when and how I say I need to be supported, or it won't be emotional support to me and I will dump your azz"
Thanks for pointing this out! Don't we call this neediness? No one who implies, or says this to me is on my to get to know list. Dumping my "azz" it's the best thing that person can do for me. I will even send them a box of chocolates just for doing it. | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 8:05:31 AM | A boyfriend once defined it as someone being able to stick around and giving it all when the significant other is wheelchair-bound and needs someone else to take care of him/her.
My definition is similar; it relates more to the kind where a woman's best friend, a dog, gives: unconditional. | |
