When you love someone, do you love them because of something about them or do you just love them?

Well (aside from family of course) only one person came to mind when I read this question and I can honestly say I don’t know what I love about him or why I love him. I just do. There’s not really a particular reason.

I’ve experienced both, but I think it’s more solidified when you love the person instead of something about them.

Both are possible, but I think “true” love is loving the entirety of them. Of course, the “something” can also be “true” love depending on what it is, such as personality.

When you love someone, you love and accept them just as they are.

Like the song says by The Bee Gees, Love You Inside Out.

I was so blessed to have found a perfect match for me, back in 1965.

We both accepted each other “as is” and our love grew from that point.

My lady is both a good person “inside and outside”

This means she has kept her great figure outside and her good-hearted person, inside.

You could list a million physical or mental reasons why you think you love someone.. But you’re fooling yourself, those are just reasons you like that person.

Love is something completely intangible, and no human language has the words to truly explain it. If you can actually describe why you love someone, then I would challenge you that you’re not in love at all.

I think it can be both. For instance, I love my husband no matter what he does or doesn’t do. I just do. I love him to distraction. But I also say that I love his body, his wit, and his cute little quirks.

Both. I love certain things about my husband, but I just love him.

There are people that I love certain things about them, but I don’t love them. Loving someone, to me, is not something you can quantify. I always hated the question from a S/O of why do you love me? I always felt that if I truly loved them, I would not be able to rattle off a list of attributes. When I love someone, it’s loving all the good and bad about them.

I used to think it was things about him but now think it is just him.

In the end analysis, superficial attributes don’t matter. Looks are great, sense of humor, confident bearing etc…. but in the end it’s who he/she is on the deepest level almost beyond words and how he/she relates to you specifically. It’s about how that relationship acts as a catalyst to bring out the best in both of you. Or maybe it’s just the way he/she smells, lol.

This is a great question, I also think it can go both ways. I also thought of one particular person and I guess I could say because he “saved my life” lol, but really it’s just that I felt an energy about him and I let it sweep me away. He didn’t really DO anything
