Love?

i’m in love with girls all the time, anyway, only 2 relationships i had after falling in love with a girl ended with me killing it off after a year because i didn’t feel the love anymore

Love is a feeling you feel when you’re about to feel a feeling you’ve never felt before.

iwamoto: u think if its actual love u can just fall out of it?

What chuck said!!

When you fall in love with someone is such a great feeling you will perhaps only experience it once in your life, that is if it is true love. When you fall in love, nothing else matters, everything is nice and cool, you will never see problems as they are, but as an opportunity to get better at solving them

ive been in love, my ex girlfriend of a year and like 3 weeks….she broke up with me over i lie…read other questions i asked…lol. the thing is i still love her…though i moved on…im not gonna forget what we had. im always gonna have feelings for her no matter what because at one point she was the biggest part of my life.

@lee

sure, love is nothing more then a mixture of hormones and emotions, every beginning has an end right ?

I thought I knew what is was to be in love, and then I met my current honey. I had always been fairly practical when it came to love and relationships; I figured I had a life, the other person had a life, and we just spent our free time together enjoying each others company and physical attributes. But 7 years ago I met, dated, and married my one true love within 3 months. You might think impulsive, it will never work out, but as of today, we are the happiest, most in love couple I know (and many others say this too).

My feelings about love are now this: I never want to be without my love, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I want my love by my side; I think about my love all the time; we text and call multiple times a day just to hear each others voice and say “hi”; I get excited every time we are going to see each other; we always give each other small gifts, and leave little notes around saying how much we love each other; being in my love’s arms is the most comfortable and safe place in the world to me.

This might sound sappy, but there is no way to truly convey how it feels when we are together. What I thought was love before might have been a mix of hormones and emotions, but this love is experienced in my breath and my bones. If I believed in a soul I’d say this love is on a spiritual level.

edmartin101: great answer I feel the exact same way and I feel the word love is thrown out there too often when it is not truly felt. I have had the great joy of being in love 1 time in my life and even though my love completely crushed me I am so grateful for that opportunity and still love and think about that person almost every sec of every day.

@Lee
He was not the guy for you!! Trust me.

@osullivanbr
I realize he is not the guy for me, the feelings that he had for me were not love at all but what I felt was love.

I believe it was Matt Groening who said:

Love is like a snowmobile racing across the tundra
Suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath
At night, the ice weasels come . . .

I believe love is to broad a term for this question. For example I love my daughter and noone can tell me that there is a love less pure. On the other hand I love/loved her mother. And the pain I walked through for her proves that. Unfortunately she did not love me as I had once hoped she did. After 8 years I wouldn’t take it back but I wouldn’t go back either.

Not only are there all types of love as TheCouncil points out, but romantic love has multiple forms. In what I think of as true love, the lover wants the very best for the loved one and happiness and contentment for the loved one. Also, true love is about intimacy. Intimacy is difficult to achieve, because it entails lowering your barriers to another person. With your loved one, you feel safe showing that true, vulnerable self—safe in the knowledge that your loved one loves you for yourself and will not turn away.

I honestly don’t know what love is, or how to define it. The question reminds me of the medieval “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” Lots of correct answers to that one too.

But I know exactly who I love, (Or whom?) and that I love them, and that is good enough for me.

Maybe the answer is: You’ll know!

I’ve been in love once. With the girl I am with now.

:-)

Not to be an ass, but I must point out that the original debate was How many angels can dance on the point of a needle? And it only dates back to the 1600s, not medieval times.
I’ll go away now.

You may be referring to D’Israeli’s summary of Aquinas’ Summa Theologica (et al.), written in the 1200’s.
However, I stand corrected, “needle” was the more accurate reference. Mea culpa. Last time I quote my philosophy professors…
Back on topic, none of my profs could define “love” without arguing. :^)

I am a nitpiking ass at times. But I am definitely not alone on this site.

@AC Of course you’re not alone. It’s a collective.~

Love is a feeling which makes you feel amazing :)
