You know that someone loves you when they take you shoe shopping on a busy Saturday afternoon!

It`s also worth considering that one can "LOVE" another person, a soccer team (no names mentioned!), a particular meal, a particular place, a particular event......yet they surely don`t feel EXACTLY THE SAME EMOTION to all those different types of things or people....and even 2 people saying to each other `I love you` don`t actually KNOW if they both are feeling the IDENTICAL thing!!!

Most of us are guided through life to love. With any luck we have or had loving parents. I don't think there is one single explanation for love, it encompasses so much. Faith, trust, compassion, kindness, tenderness, understanding, teaching, learning, dedication and on and on. Love makes you feel good when you are with a person you love and who loves you.

However, don't worry Flopstock, I aint asking "Am I in love" or anything, I just wanted other peoples take on it :D
serious is often boring...especially when you are trying to answer an unanswerable question.

Basically:

Good Side

Makes you feel good that you make someone else feel good.

Makes you sleep better (with them in your arms)

Bad Side

Can **** you up forever when it goes wrong

Can stop you forming another relationship properly..



That is a very basic take on my views, as I say, they're quite mixed up..


Love won't **** you up forever when it goes wrong if you don't let it. Look at it as a stepping stone. Take parts of it that were good and bring it forward in your life and leave the bad parts behind, yet learn from them and don't repeat them. Love is something we are meant to experience, and it isn't meant to screw us. If it hurts after the first try then you know you made a mistake, if it hurts after the second try, then maybe we just aren't figuring it out. Why do you think folks date, it takes time to get it right. You have to learn each time and not let it get the better of you. And love changes and some folks are willing to change, others not, so again learn from it and move along.

What is love? That's like asking, "What is the meaning of life?" The longer this thread lives, the more varying answers you will get, each depending on the person's particular circumstances. Being head-over-heels in love myself, here's my take on it:

Love is when you are completely, utterly vulnerable to the one you love, and they know it, and they DON'T take advantage of it, and vice-versa.

Everything you say, everything you do, has ten times the meaning where your partner is concerned. What would roll off their back coming from anyone else in the world, can cut the deepest or mean the absolute most coming from you. Putting their happiness before your own, wishing more for them than you want for yourself. Does that make sense?

Flopstock's answer was priceless. That summed it up great, Flop!

Excellent BR, you're right on the mark!!!

Love has many complicated levels, New love, Lust Love, "Enduring Love"!

New Love is when you first meet that someone who takes your breath away, and you can't sleep, or eat, it's like a floating feeling! Lust Love is when you can't stop jumping all over one another everytime you meet. Always hot, always terriffic! Over time, New love, and Lust love, if true, will turn into Enduring love!

"Enduring" Love is a true love that will last a lifetime! (Till death do you part)

Love is something that many people say and that has meanings on many different levels. For me, although I told my other half I loved him...and meant it....for me, love was when we had a tiny brand new baby and we had to get up in the night to feed him. I remember it was my turn to get up, but I just felt so completely shattered I found it really hard to summon the energy to move..... then the other half, bless him, whispered 'you stay warm under the covers - I'll see to him' and even though he had worked a long tiring 12 hour day and had fallen exhausted into bed so he could work another long day tomorrow, he got up and fed, changed, cuddled and calmed the baby and he never complained that it wasn't his turn or that I owed him one. He just calmly took over...and he made me feel very loved.

He very rarely says the words....but his actions show how very deep his love is.

WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN....?



"Love Is............... :"



A group of professional people posed this question

to a group of kids 4 to 8 years old,

"What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than

anyone could have imagined.

See what you think:

"Love is that first feeling you feel before

all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't

bend over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all

the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.

That's love."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name

is different. You know that your name is

safe in their mouth."

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy

puts on shaving cologne and they go out

and smell each other."

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody

most of your French fries without making

them give you any of theirs."

"Love is when someone hurts you and you

get so mad but you don't yell at them because

you know it would hurt their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy

and she takes a sip before giving it to him,

to make sure the taste is OK."

"Love is when you kiss all the time.

Then when you get tired of kissing, you still

want to be together and you talk more.

My mommy and daddy are like that.

They look gross when they kiss."

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas

if you stop opening presents and listen."

"If you want to learn to love better,

you should start with a friend who you hate."

"Love is hugging. Love is kissing. Love is saying no."

"When you tell someone something bad about yourself

and you're scared they won't love you anymore.

But then you get surprised because not only

do they still love you, they love you

even more."

"There are two kinds of love Our love. God's love.

But God makes both kinds of them."

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then

he wears it everyday."

"Love is like a little old woman and a

little old man who are still friends even after

they know each other so well."

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared.

I looked at all the people watching me and

saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the

only one doing that.

I wasn't scared anymore."

"My mommy loves me more than anybody.

You don't see anyone else kissing me

to sleep at night."

"Love is when mommy gives daddy the

best piece of chicken."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty

and still says he is handsomer than

Robert Redford."

"Love is when your puppy licks your face

even after you left him alone all day."

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives

me all her old clothes and has to go out and

buy new ones."

"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says

she only picks on me because she loves me.

So I pick on my baby sister because I love her."

"Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them

that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't

be caught dead saying."

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down

and little stars come out of you."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet

and she doesn't think it's gross."

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it.

But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.

People forget."

"God could have said magic words to make

the nails fall off the cross,

but He didn't.

That's love."

:cool:

To add to the question: If you are in love with someone and it doesn't work out "in the long run" but you have 6 months of bliss, two years, five years, whatever. Does it mean it wasn't "really" love? I think it was. Just not the right love for ever.
