In my opinion, it is wanting to be with that person, thinking about them feeling totally fulfilled when your around them, supporting one another, trusting and respecting one another, caring and looking after each other, laughing together, crying together, feeling as though you are complete with them in your life:-4

WANTING TO TELL EVERYONE

I'M IN LOVE WITH JIMOR NOT IN YOUR CASE :D
I am nobody..nobody is perfect...therefore I must be Perfect!

You've never felt what love is ??

I printed our wedding annoucements -

Today I will marry my friend,

the one I laugh with, live for,

dream with, and respect.

Love is knowing you share everything, care completely for eachother, take care of eachother.

My husband adores me, I've never experienced / received that prior.

Everyone deserves to experience / feel Love - true honest, I live for you Love..

Love is when you truly put the feelings and needs of others on at least an equal footing with your own. Everything else is either sentimentality, or desire, which is basically a selfish thing.

I think the love I want to have and to give is the love that loves no matter what.. unconditional love. Not that it is all right to do anything. Just that the love for the person is always there.

People talk about being in love or loving things in terms of how they feel. We make all kinds of decisions based on that kind of love. Often the decisions made based on sensual love prove to be wrong.

The love we have mostly forgotten about and rarely base our actions on is really a verb. Love is action.

A young man can have strong feelings for a girl and a fast car and even say he loves them both. If he spends all of his time polishing the car, buying fancy wheels and accessories for it but only spends time with the girl when he wants to feel good¦it’s the car he loves.

From my experience of life I realize its that when we don't try to give or take, and don't think about our own needs, or what we are or have to give, or want to give, but simply act in a way that takes into account what others want as well as ourselves that we are truly expressing love. Its easy to fall in love with someone or something or someone that we think is great and want to "give" ourselves to, but esentially thats because we think they are charming, or attractive, or likeable, but thats not love. Love is when you take a back seat from your own needs and inner desires and act in an unselfish way towards others, including your spouse, children, family, neighbours, and even people that you might not particularly like very much. Its not easy, but then again thats what makes love a remarkable human trait.

I think your generalising human emotion with that of the majority of people.

Once someone thinks they love someone and then has a change of heart didn't really love that person to begin with. I hear a lot about people saying reality is perception perceived, but is that really true, and if it isn't, then that very well could be a tall tell sign that there is something out there that is more powerful than that of human psychology. I like to think so.

I think this says it best.

If the people I love are content, then I am content.

Or when you've gone snorkleing and you take off the mask and left on your face is the snot trail, then your love one tells you. Love is, not telling them in front of a load of people :sneaky:

Love is being with someone in a crowded room and you let one and your lover takes the blame for it.

Your preaching to the choir snugglebunny. I have the best attitude of anyone I know, but reality is reality. It can be as individual as the person depending on how many doors you close or open through decisions and choices, however real is real know matter what kind of twist you put on it.
