Love

What is love? Baby don't hu-*hit with a brick*

All you need is lo-*hit with a boulder*

I would do anything for lo- *run over by Meatloaf on his motorcycle*

When I fall in lo- *haunted by Nat King Cole's ghost*

I wanna know what lo- *gunned by hippies*

There is a large difference I have found between dating someone and loving them, and being in love. I say this because I would'nt be so silly as to say that I *did'nt* love my two other girlfriends (yes I have only ever had 3 but bear in mind thats over 8 years of dating) , but the current relationship I am in things are significantly different. What I have put it down to is that the actual being in love has gotten myself and Jen through some very challenging times where I was wanting to put her before myself - consistantly. Previously I may have put the other two before myself but I would be making a decision too, whereas with Jen I find myself already trying to serve her before myself.

You really wanna know what love is?
Well its really quite simple...its kinda like
Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight.............

I will give you the respect you deserve for this. Also, I love lamp.


OT: Honestly, I feel like loving someone is just the thought of them could get you through the day.

I know what love is. I've experienced it. And NONE of the posts above describe it in the SLIGHTEST bit of way imaginable of what I felt.

They are probably inexperienced... At least that's my theory. *shrug*

I fell in love once with a blonde girl. Fun, smart and attractive; all of her traits. Her attitude didn't bother me too much, (save the ants and that bullshit) as her traits more than made up for it.
My feelings for her was strong. Stronger than what I've ever felt to anyone outside my family. I felt nervous around her and crap.

One day, my feelings burst out of my mouth, shouting what I truly felt about her but being a simple friend. I was met with a declining 'no' from her and mocking laughs from my so-called "friends".

What love was on my part, is an obsession over one person you don't have. Not just yet. Yet you don't dare do anything about it.
Happy, shy and slight discomfort is what you'd normally experience if you were to get the love I got.

PS: I've probably repeated myself a lot in these forums. But it just has that special place in my heart. Feeling it's worth repeating.

Love is chemicals and electric synapses in the human brain.

 

[daavisb]

"Rick... where did you get a hand grenade?" "i dont know" <-- best movie scene ever

OT: love is (hopefully) someone who enhances your life everyday just by being there.

Being only 18 I'm in the same boat as you my friend; I have no idea what love really is and I'm not sure it even exists, but I do have this one friend who instantly becomes super attached to any girl he goes out with, which makes it all the more annoying when he gets left heartbroken at the inevitable break-up EVERY single time.

Okay, I'm a 16 year old. Among my age group there seems to be this massive belief among the couples that they are in love, and a belief among the singles that at 16 you are probably too hormonal to know what love is. And, for the most part, I agree, we/I are far too young and inexperienced to know what love is without having experienced it. So what I want to know, from those escapists (escapians?) who have found love is this; what is love? Is it a sexualised friendship; a deep emotional dependence on another person to the point where it aches to think of them leaving for any period of time; a mutual respect that exists independent of lust, but normally accompanies it?

Everyone's going to tell you a different description. Hell, this site's crawling with the bitter and the jaded who will practically tell you love doesn't even exist.

For me though, I'm a hopeless romantic. I love the company of another; and for me, love is having somebody you can be completely at ease with. Love is when you've found the person who can be your partner and companion, your team mate, through life. The person you're hopelessly drawn to yet don't question it for a second because, curiously, you love the fact that you love them. In short, love is fucking crazy but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Since I am the most qualified to answer this;

Love is what you feel.
If you feel love when you are 16, it is love.
If you are 70, it is love.

It's only a bunch of fools who want to point at younglings and say "Ho ho ho, that's not love. What we have is love! What you have is hormones."
They fail to take into consideration that people are different. Just because you're 16 doesn't mean you have to be immature or only think about sex.

Just out of curiosity do you say that because of age or are you a psychologist of some kind? :]

Dude no one will ever hurt you for quoting the Beatles.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Love? God, I have no idea. I've been under its spell a little too often, but I still have no idea what it is. Not sure anyone does, really

 

[deonte9109]

True love really isnt something that can be properly explained because its different for each person. My fiancee and I are deeply in love but how we go about expressing that love and came to that love is different from each other. She loves me because I was always there for her when she was having difficult times and I make her feel safe. I love her because when we was dating she was my best friend (female wise) and she always had a way of balancing me out. Love takes time and at 16 you have plenty of it. At least wait till you're out of high school before you say you truly love somebody.

Because it's that persons feeling, not someone elses.

No no I meant in regard to the 'I am most qualified to answer this' part ^_^

 

[Creator002]

As for what is love? I am really not sure what love is but I think it might be the emotional attachment to the other person.

That's what my dictionary calls it, and that's what I'm sticking too.

Ah.

Because I figured that 9/10 on this forum would say that anyone above the age of 30 doesn't know what love is or some other depressing bit or bring up "It's only chemicals in your brain lol" - Which it is but that's beyond the point

Aah I gotcha ^_^ god bless those chemicals.

I have a feeling you don't like life.

I like life just fine, thank you very much.

1. Fuck off. No one asked you. You could've simply avoided clicking tthat little button and saved everyone including you a major headache.

Conversely, the OP could have avoided typing out that little message and clicking that little button, displacing more interesting threads in the meantime. If people are going to displace better threads, they'd damned well be ready to get a headache.

Meaning: fix what's wrong with you or leave society.

Trust me - I'd leave society if I could. Unfortunately, with almost seven billion people in the world, it's kind of difficult not to interact with people in some way.

Hating the only thing that keeps society sane is PROBABLY a sign that there's something wrong with you.

Ha. If that's sanity, then I don't want to see what insanity is like.

1. You got spurned once, and you're a crybaby.

Never been spurned, largely because my distaste towards love doesn't allow me to get into a situation where I could be spurned.

Don't think you're the only person to have been hurt like that. In the past four years, I've gone through plenty of harsh breakups but It hasn't turned me into a vile-spitting prick.

I haven't been hurt, probably because I hate romance so much. However, I do find the discussion of romance on the internet to be vile and distasteful.

Simulord's been through a LOT worse, and he's still the nicest person on the internet.

Which could be a contributing factor to why I let his relationship threads through. SimuLord has proven himself to be a decisive net contributor to the forum in other ways, including his reviews and his other threads. The vast majority of people that I see starting relationship threads are not, and until I leave the site (don't worry - it will be very shortly) or until all relationship threads that aren't by BonsaiK or SimuLord are contained within the Advice Forum, I will not cease to try to destroy them.

why all the hate for love though?

Love is inexplicable and grossly inappropriate. Trying to understand it has driven men, better men than me, insane. It would be arrogant and unbelievably ignorant of me to try and describe what love is to you. Love is intangibly heavy. It is desperately proud. It is the pinicle and the downfall or mankind. Love is everything we strive for as people, even if we deny it. You'll know love when you feel it. It's not just teenage hormones, nor is it a sensible agreement between adults.

Love is... Love.
