I couldn't resist this one.... can't wait to see where this one goes!! 
I feel we are all looking for something or someone .. if not we wouldn't be on here. I am just curious as to what you are looking for!
Remember, this is all in fun...as Tommy/George said, don't go getting all twisted in a knot over it! | |

| And Just What Does The Word Love Mean To You??
Posted: 4/17/2008 8:00:55 PM | well I found my 'mate' as luck would have it and according to a good friend, probably through POF even though he's not 'online'....
So on here looking to meet and greet and make many new friends, women in particular  ~ although I have many 'guy friends' from this site as well, I'm sure my guy doesn't want me flirting with any of them..so to answer your question....
"To me, the word LOVE means"
someone who doesn't run away after meeting your family at a gathering...
someone who doesn't run away after knowing you're not really living on your own, even if you have a job, license to drive, car and oh yea...kids...
someone who enjoys going out on the town as much as you do, even if having or wanting to share drinks on Ladies Night (bottomless $5 cups)...someone who is 'there for you'..plain and simple.
someone who likes to talk to you, be it online, in person or on the telephone, calls you every day and surprises you and leaves voicemail, "I just called to say I love you"
yea..melts my heart every time

Posted: 4/18/2008 7:28:07 AM | To ME LOVE is................
Being commited to that person totally......in good times and bad!
A person who is loyal and honest and wants to be MINE and only mine!
Love is giving 100% .....both parties have to give there ALL!
That is a must...my friends!
I want to be in LOVE again...it takes work on both parties account!
To have LOVE last......you have to put forth the effort all the time!
The effort should come natural.....and both parties should give there 100% all the time! I do believe there are different degress of love ...but TRUE LOVE with my soulmate and special someone .......I am longing for that....and it will come in time....have to be on the same page with someone to have that happen! I have been on here almost a year ......and it has not happened yet! I am waiting......all in God's timing, not mine!

Posted: 4/18/2008 4:43:08 PM | I have to say I also agree with Kid.... that is probably why I am NOT dating anyone right now because all that I have met... well they don't have it all... not that they are all bad.. just not what I want in my life...
and like my sista's say... I AM NOT GOING TO SETTLE.

Posted: 5/6/2008 7:52:56 AM | I agree with almost all of the posts already here...however the "100%" thing to me is a little unrealistic. It's kind of like how people say relationships have to be 50/50 give and take...but there ARE going to be moments when one person needs more, one person is able to give more...and it is the bottom line...how it balances over time, that counts to me.
Maybe one partner gets sick? Maybe one loses their job or a parent?
To me, love is making your partner a top priority, because in the end...the nice lawn, the long hours at work, the material possessions, etc...all seem trivial compared to having the love, respect, and passion of a soul mate.
Love is not settling...but love is a contentment like no other.
Love is working together...goals, dreams, passions...making theirs, yours.
And of course it has to have 101% committment, honesty, respect, and loyalty! | |
|
| And Just What Does The Word Love Mean To You??
Posted: 5/7/2008 7:14:55 AM | That is the way it has to be..............
101% commitment for sure..............Honesty and Respect are a MUST!
YOU can't love someone and be dishonest now can we??????????????
Boy that just brought something to mind!
Better NOT go there................another subject for another time!
I think we all want to be loved and care for and cherished ..I know I do!
My big thing ....is I am NOT willing to compromise my values...and settle!
So the search goes on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: 5/7/2008 4:50:21 PM | Im want it all myself, and i wont settle for nothing less.
Ive given up 2 much in my life, to raise my boys to settle for just anyone.
So i may be single for a bit longer. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 5:08:17 PM | Compromise, Compromise, Compromise..gotta do a lot of this in a relationship as well!
Part of the love deal with me is taking turns when going out; either eat dinner at home and then go out, or take turns paying, the guy doesn't have to pay all the time; we're not all RICH$ if we were, well then we probably wouldn't be in STL anymore
Take turns deciding on what you'll do on weekend nights, plenty to do a in a big city, doesn't always have to end up at a bar/dancing...movies; theater, dinner, skating, museums, walks in the park, driving to an unknown town, picnics, carnivals; time with kids, time away from kids, etc etc. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 6:14:10 PM | I agree with Denise about taking turns paying when u go out with a guy, 2 many gold diggers out there, it doesnt always have to be an expensive nite out.
When my boys were little i worked with a woman that had a teenage boy and i didnt like what he used to say about his mother, that she used to leave the kids to have a good time, so i didnt want for my kids to think bad of me, so i gave up going out for them, i dont regret a minute of it, specially now that they are in their 20's and moving on with their own lifes. | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 1:54:34 PM | Ladies ..Ms Rosa and Ms Denise ...point well taken!
I think compromise is where it is at!
Give and take..............
In this day and age ......it sure doesn't hurt to pick up the tab once in a while!
I have done it myself many times..........usually when I am in a relationship....not just seeing someone once in a while...if you know what I mean!
But if a guy insist ..........on paying ...I will let them!
There are others ways I can show my apprieciation...........like a hug or a great massage!
One just never knows!

Posted: 6/12/2008 4:49:09 PM | | To me love is a verb...It is the actions you take to make someones life better in some way. Love is taking care of someone when they are sick. Love is planning a surprise for your partner. Love is enjoying your partner... for who they are...Scott | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 12:36:56 PM | I look at love in the Bibical sense... that might be my problem though. It sounds wonderful, the exact type of love I am looking for but have yet to find it!
1CO 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
1CO 13:5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
1CO 13:6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
1CO 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
I haven't met too many couples that have/can or will live by this however both my siblings did. That was their life. (both deceased now) Both very kind and loving people.

Posted: 7/8/2008 1:10:59 AM | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laying next to the person and feeling as if nothing else in the world mattered but right here, right now.
Reaching out for each others hand without 'looking' but as an automatic response.
Thinking about that one person all day long and not being able to wait to see or hear their voice.
Being able to walk right up to them through a croud just by feeling their presense
Having said everything on your mind by simply looking into their eyes.

Need more? :P | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 9:30:28 AM | Byte.....dude you need to write a book... a love story... wowza 
I am learning a new meaning to love.... well what I need to do with love is more correct... I need to love myself first then the rest will flow with ease.
Did you know they say "MOST" people don't love theirself?????? I first found that hard to believe but after researching this more.... it appears to be more true than I would like for it to be.
So, it means to learn to love yourself.... the rest will just happen.

Posted: 7/8/2008 12:52:04 PM | Love thy self seems really strange to me. Can't say I 'love myself' but i dont hate myself either, guess i'm comfy w/myself? hmm actually the only time i think of myself is when i'm  Unless of course you were being really rude with that comment in which case, i'm going to totally ignore it! 
Personally, think you need to be happy in your life before seeking companionship.. To be able to live within your means, not require all the attention and whatever else you might 'expect' someone else to give you. Whatever unexpected gestures you do receive are oh so the better! I know when i had to work late or couldn't sleep and was at my desk, my ex used to walkin and lay her head on my shoulder still half asleep or simply pull my chair out, lay her head on my lap and from her doing that made it hard for me to think of anything but her.. Some of the simplest things can be the most meaningful
The stress and everything you have w/out someone else and not being content will just add to the complications of a relationship.. If you take your problems and add their problems and of course all those small little things the other does that bother you, it just starts to build from there until their breathing is a bother too. Which may explain that great weight being lifted off my chest when one of my 'bad' relationships was finally over!
And SUSIE :P I take the above was meant as a compliment, tyvm!
Sorry, there will be no books from me, you know i'm shy and would hate to be forced into book signings, having to deal with all my adoring fans and all that other b.s.!
And now that i spelled your name correctly, QUIT CALLING ME BYTE!!!! | |
|
| And Just What Does The Word Love Mean To You??
Posted: 7/8/2008 4:26:09 PM | Ok BYTE......I mean Bay or should that be Jim?
No silly, I meant it as a compliment.. you have a way with words. I really had NO clue you were such the romantic. I dont know about that shy crap though!
I am pretty comfortable with myself... well maybe if I could lose these few pounds I gained when I quit smoking.  
Love is grand...but once again, I won't settle. I won't settle just to say I am in love.. you know that old say being in love with the thought of being in love. NOPE NOT NODDA.
This one guy that works with me, by the way I talked him into putting his profile on here, he said what anyone has to say on their profile, dating, friends, long term or whatever....IF the right one comes along that will totally change everything cause I kept telling him I will never get married again. He just looked at me and laughed!  | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 4:58:07 PM | Cute Suzie, real cute! :P
The way i have with words is twisting them! But all in fun!
Talking one on one is one thing, short of that (or shy of that) you'd see my point!
I put on weight, well actually i haven't, it's kind of shifted but for me not a problem to lose it, I may, i may not, i sure as hell wouldn't lose it just to be on POF. I would lose it for me and no other reason, but i think i'm cute pudgy!!!
You may not get the person your wanting because you smoke, eat, breath (or in my case have a twisted sense of humor!) whatever, but in the end, do you really want that person? If so, get ta work, but think in the end you still need to be happy with yourself. I think that was one of the things that drove my ex to insanity, for some reason she felt she had to be the exact same weight she was when we met and me feeding her steak n shrimp all the time made it a little difficult! She'd gain 3lbs and she would go off the deep end...
You can do anything you want, change anything you want, job, career, (and with you in mind) shoes but in the end, i think it all boils down to if you are truly happy with yourself...
Well i seriously hope you and everyone else 'finds it'. It really is great thing! Just hope you dont have the complications I had!
And on that note, I'm outta here | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 5:05:09 PM | Love to me means
Not noticing the "flaws" .. either the ones he thinks he has or the ones I KNOW I have.
Feeling secure when he is around. Knowing someone is on your side no matter what. Butterflies when I see him and kisses that take my breath away...
I know there is more, I think, but I am stuck on the kisses thing right at the moment | |
