What is love?

What do you believe love is? Would you give everything for someone if you loved them? What made you say it or feel it if you ever have? Do you believe in it...explain your views.

love is complicated...

I think love is different for many people. Everyone has their own idea of what being in love should feel like. It's indescribable.

For me, being in love is just something you feel. It's a ... take-my-breath-away and sweep-me-off-my-feet feeling.

However, I think many people are in a state that is a lot like love. For example, I thought I was in love with my first serious boyfriend. And then that relationship ended and I met my second serious boyfriend and I learned that maybe I wasn't in love with my first boyfriend because it didn't feel the same. It was a lot like love, but not quite and I think that's something you learn and experience as you grow older and your feelings mature.

True love is complicated and difficult, but it is also a very exciting feeling. It's impossible to measure real love because everyone has a different idea and perception about what love is.

I completely agree with Heaveth, here. I've also experienced that thing where I thought I was in love, but then someone else came along and I realised I wasn't in love with the other person.

Love for me is also a bunch of intense emotions and just wanting to be there for someone and care for them, wanting to show them how important they are to you. It also changes the way I see them; even if they are physically unattractive, if I fall for their personality all of their flaws will become more beautiful to me each time I see them (yes, I know that's corny, but we are talking about love =P).

Love makes you blind and sometimes that can be in a very bad way. e.g. I was so in love with someone that I didn't realise he was just leading me on, even when it was thrown right into my face! I always reasoned with myself and came up with something to support his actions and make him the good guy when in reality he was quite the opposite. I didn't even consider for one second that he was evil until I fell out of love, opened my eyes and reality smacked me in the face.

Love is also painful. This also relates back to the evil guy who led me on. I practically tortured myself over him and that isn't a very healthy thing to do. Sadly the painful side of love is the only one I've experienced, but I guess it comes up in happy relationships too, such as when couples get into arguments.

I would definitely give my everything for someone if I loved them with all my heart, even if they treated me like crap. Sad, I know, but I can't help being like that when I'm in love.

What made me fall in love with the evil guy? Well, he was incredibly good at pretending to be someone he's not and this facade happened to be my idea of Mr. Perfect. When I met him I had already given up on finding someone who wasn't a jerk, let alone a Mr. Perfect, so it came as a big shock to me and I instantly liked the guy the moment I met him (what a fool I was LOL). What made me fall for him was his

- Modesty.

- Selflessness and consideration of others. He always put others before himself and stuck up for people.

- Understanding. He was the one person I had met who I thought truly understood me.

- Similar sense of humour.

- Intelligent.

- Not a bigot. He accepted everybody for who they were.

- Open-minded. Always willing to listen to another point of view.

- Respectful. He was always very polite and took others' feelings and such into consideration.

There were specific little occassions that made me like him more (let's just call him Rob to make it easier). One was when I went on an English trip. Before I got on the coach I had spilt fizzy peach stuff all over me and I was feeling sick with a sore throat as well. He came and sat next to me just to see if I was okay. I also forgot my money. Rob asked me if I was hungry when we got to the theatre and I just said no, but he shared half of his roll with me, anyway.

Another time I went to my May Ball (prom). I went with this guy who liked me, but I didn't feel the same way. He followed me everywhere and kept asking me every 3 seconds "Are you okay?!" which got annoying and depressing. He wouldn't let me out of his sight and he screamed at my best friend when I sneaked away with her... Anyway, I was feeling awful and just wanted to go home and cry, but then Rob dragged me onto the dance floor and we danced for ages. We then went out into the hallway, holding hands and we sat down and chatted over a drink. And he cheered me up a lot.

The third time was when I went to his birthday party at a restaurant in town. He constantly came over to check that I was all right and when everyone was going home Rob waited with me for my uncle to pick me up even though he could have missed the last bus back home.

Sadly, all of this was just some cruel game to Rob.

And yes, I believe in it, but at the moment I don't really believe I will ever fall in love again or experience a painless love. Particularly when the first person who I ever loved and the only guy I've ever met who I considered to be perfect was a big, fat fake.

I have never been in love. As far as I understand love is mental glue which makes as crazy. Love is a beautiful thing, it makes the person we love the most important person in the world. Love makes us ready to die and suffer for other people. Love makes us do sacrificies for other people. Love makes us (very) happy. Am I wrong?

No, you're not wrong, at least I don't think you are.

Love...

Wow

That's a mountain to tackle right there.

Being in love is exquisite

It's the flutter in your heart everytime you hear their voice and the way you can't seem to stop smiling when all you've done is heard their name. It's when absolutely everything you look at makes you think of that other person and how much you know they'd like this or that or the other and you can't wait one more second to tell them about it so you text message them because they're at work and can't talk on the phone.

Love...it's torture. This is because no one can hurt like the ones you love. If some random stranger says something mean, what does it matter. If your sweetie hurts your feelings, even unintentionally, it breaks your heart because you trust them, you love them, you don't expect them to hurt you. And when they want to be hurtful, few people know you as well and can push buttons as well as the ones you love.

But then again, no one can make you as happy when your hurt and sad and push the right buttons to make you smile, even when you're soo soo angry at them. That's exasperating, but it's part of it.

It's the way the thought of being away from them for one minute longer drives you insane, but you deal with it anyway because at least they're in your life even if they are on the other side of the country. It's the six hour phone conversations about nothing in particular. It's the way they're voice can make everything in the world better when they say "I love you"

I guess for me love is a whole lot of little things.

Look at the person your with if you can't see where you would be with out that person in ten years than that's a good sign your in love.

but hay thats just my thought on it.

You described it perfectly, Mignonne.

I also adore the butterflies you get in your tummy when you're in love. They're like a constant reminder of that person.

i would listen to wendy...she knows what she is talking about

Yeah...butterflies are nice. And the way you go all bouncy and giddy when they call/text/mail or show up.

Lol

Thanks Neo

just like that

Love, love... That`s when you love her after 20 years like in the first day. Love is if you look in her eyes and you feel something in your heart. Love is if you trust her 100%, love is if you will put you life in her hands, love is if you will do realy crazy things for, that you never thought. Love is if you see her and you smile then everytime. You don`t know if you love her, you feel it If my english were better I could alot more write

That`s what for my is if you love a girl. Oooh god, I love woman so much, it hurts every time I see a woman I like, it hurts so much

Now what is to love you own children. That`s when they are the importes thing. You think always what the best for them is and then what good for you is. Love is if you would die for them.

For my is the love to my children more important that the love to a woman. It`s not the best for my, but they would be my children and I have then a big charge. Hope I will be a good father

a four letter word

"If you love, you don't think, you just do. If you think, then you are lost, for true love allows no doubts."

As my single friends like to remind me, love is a four letter word made up of two vowels, two consonants and two idiots.

They say that cause I apparently lose brain cells everytime I start talking to my marine

:mignonne:

all i know is love gets confused with lust.

yes, it does...thus my very established opinion that the longer you wait to have sex, the better off your relationship will be, that is, if you want it to last and not just be an affair of sorts.

lol

what is love??!?!?!?!

baby dont hurt dont hurt me....no more!!!

taaadaaa taddaaa taaddada
