What Is Love

What is love? And I mean romantic love; seriously, how do you know you love someone? I've been told multiple times that you'll know when it happens, but I am curious. From experienced I loved one guy (or I thought I loved) and liked another but both of them were through online; does "love" happen in real life or online as well? Do you have to feel it physically or it doesn't matter as long as you tolerate each other and get along? Are you together with someone because you love them or because it's convenient or easy? I'd really appreciate if any of you share some personal experience and info.

I've wondered a lot about this myself. I always thought it was an emotion. I have a hard time feeling emotions though, so I thought about it and then I thought of something. Would you put down your life for that person so they can live? That one person you care about, would do that for them to take them out of harm's way? Or conversely would you do all it takes to live so that the one you care about will not be alone? I think if you can answer yes to those questions then you undoubtedly love that person. To me this lasts over a fleeting feeling you might have. I'm not saying you won't feel other stuff like happiness or bliss, but I think what I mentioned above can help determine your commitment and love.

Love is a throbbing ache Love is exhilarating Love is turbulent Love is forgiving Love is understanding Love is when you are one with another, and cant see yourself ever not being with them. Love can hurt terribly, or be the greatest high you'll ever get.

Love is not about "feels". Infatuation "feels" good and attraction "feels" good. If you go on feelings alone, you're in for a huge let down when that feel good chemical stuff slows down and it will. But, I see many that are far more in love with the idea of love and the fantasy that they build around that, instead of the person.

That's true too ^^^^ It is not just about the feeling for sure. Alot of it is communication. If you have a good communication with your partner and get along then there you go. I am very much a noob at this. Yaasshat is the true expert! :D

Expert? Hardly. Love takes a lifetime to forge. Snake, You're a Christian, right? The bible gives an excellent example of love. Corinthians 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 0Save Previous Book Previous Chapter Read the Full Chapter Next Chapter Next Book Scripture Formatting 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
