I've been seeing a lot of topics with the theme of love, or has included love. And I want to see what exactly what you guys (and girls) think love is. What causes love to happen? What causes it to go away? I've seen a lot of opinions, for example, love is an excuse to have kids. Or love is a hormone. Or love is a phase. Well, I'm not sure how much I agree with those...so let me see what you think.
Only because it's all somewhere else I think it's a human instinct to reproduce and keep mankind alive.
I guess I can say a lot here considering right now, I know I'm in love. Sometimes things dont just cause it to happen. It's just a feeling you get and youll know it when it happens. Its hard to explain but it is very strong. The reason I love Steph so much is because shes cared more about me than anyone ever has and shes literally saved my life. Some people will say that love can go away, or youre too young to be in love, and I think thats total bullshit. When I was with my ex-girlfriend, I thought I was in love but I couldnt figure it out. We were together for a year and a half and I thought it was love. That wasnt true. Now that Im with Steph I know Im in love and she loves me. Basically what I think love is: Its when youd give anything to be with that person and you just want them to be happy.
I agree and disagree. I agree, when people say your too young to be in love, thats bullshit. Who's to say you have to be an adult to be able to love? It's ####. I've been in love, and I'm 15. What I disagree with is where you said love can't die away. That's not true. The girl I loved supposedly loved me too. We we're in "love". But then guess what. She broke up with me. Guess what else. I found out 2 weeks after we broke up that she ####ed her first boyfriend, while we we're going out. Yeah. But guess what again. I was still in love with her. I was PISSED. She has hurt me more than anyone understands, but no matter what, I've been in love with her. Until now...after a while if a person doesn't care for you or love you, you can't take it...and the love you have for them dies.
it's an emotinal phase...everything becomes topsy turvy and confused. it's when the spleen get's inactivated when you see your mate...and the other way round of the person is rude in any way...it's all biological and slightly emotional reasons...
I thought I was in love, for a whole 9 months this girl and I were together, and I thought I loved her. We had harsh times, we argued constantly, and she kept insisting that she loved me. So, I was in a state of mind where I wanted to be loved 2 months into the relationship, I thought love was a choice, and it wasn't. So, for 7 months we thought we were in love, that everything revolved around us. Hell, I was wrong, she cheated on me 3 times while we were together, and I thought I still loved her none-the-less. It pissed me off, of course, but I could still forgive her. I shouldn't have, because if she loved me she wouldn't do this to me, and if I loved her, how could I forgive her? Then, after we were finally seperated, I really didn't care if she was with me anymore or not, after I said it was over, I didn't care for her, more than a friend, that is. She told me a few days ago that she still loves me, yet she's in a 6 month relationship with some guy.
Girl's can be extremely harsh, as we both obviously know... Though us guys could probably be the same way. "Until the day I die, I'll spill my heart for you ... "
i read somewhere that "perfect love never ends" and i think that's the point when you know there's no one in the world you'd rather spend the rest of your life together with than that one person... i think it takes time/age/experience to fully know what love is, because you're always going to find younger people with their first couple of boyfriends/girlfriends that claim they're in love... when in reality it probably all relates back to lust. simply a physical attraction between two people is not love, kiddos. and no one can really be the judge of "is it love or not?" besides the individual themselves. i know in the past i've thought i was in love, but it turned out i just really connected with the guy(s). just wasn't meant to be. i don't wanna be all mushy gushy, but i am definitely in love. i know that in my mind. i've never found someone who could make me so happy, even in doing nothing at all. i'm content with that because i'm with him, and nothing else matters.

to me love is when you get kicked in between the legs by a special someone and you somehow let her/him do it again however I want 2 know if a man and a girl can only be friends ?
As in the words of Agent Smith "Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. "
love is an emotion created by humans to attempt to describe all sorts of feelings. Everything from lust to one own ego is described as love. Simply put, like religion, love is a creation of humans feeble attempts to explain unknown feelings. Or, if you didn't get that, it doesn't exist. It's a fictious feeling that humans fool themselves into believing is real.
Love is a strong feeling of affection, when you want to be with that special person, not just to make love, but to talk and show affection eg. hugging, etc. Inside, I assume, you'd feel warm and just short of nervous and may act tipsy sometimes.
Best definitition as of yet. Off-Topic: Happy birthday Glenn. When you want to be in love, and you are convinced by outside influences that you're in love, you seem to have a false definition. You construct an emotion all it's own deep inside of you, hoping to be there. I understood this after my relationship.
That definitely is not true. Love is real no matter what you say. Thats the position I was in during my last relationship. This time around I know Im in love and it was my own influence. Of course they can. My best friend is a girl and there was never anything between us. I have a lot of friends who are girls. I say as long as you dont have a jealous girlfriend and can be trusted youre good to go.
