Love

[Latinidiot]

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

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

Everybody PLAY THE GAA-*shot*

OT: Love is when you can be with someone in the same room, and don't need to do anything to be happy. Just being there with that particular someone is enough. Most of the time it has to come from 2 sides.


That's how I like to see it. And no one is really experienced in love. The only experience you gain through life is in what love is not.

Love
Love is the only thing
So softly beckoning
Makes the world stand on its head....

*crickets*

Okay, so it's only well known commentary that gets one injured. Sweet!

(I'd quote the other ones too, but it would get a bit lengthy).

Love is simply hard to quantify. And at 16, there's a tendency for everything to feel like love. That's not to say you'll never experience it at 16, but in your teen years there's a tendency for everything to feel epic, including infatuation, lust, and obsession.

Unfortunately, it's easiest to tell love when you've lost it. Arrrg.

Love is what you feel. If you're a teenager, it might be puppy love, which is different from the adolescent love in a way, because it's the first, or one of the first, times experiencing something like that and it's more wildly driven by hormonal stuff. Teenagers can still be in love, no question.

It's also a rather vague term, and it's meaning is not to be taken so fucking seriously as things do tend to get treated here, by some angsty, dry, super-serious teenagers who hate everything they can't understand and think they know absolutely everything.

I love Monty Python. I love my godson. I love my mother. I love Hip Hop. I love my ex-girlfriend.
All those are true, but they mean different things, because...

...love is:

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

Hey now. Aylaine's the nicest person on the Internet (and she's much cuter than me besides). And from what little I know of her, she's been through even worse than I have! I hope that's not a correlative relationship. Because if it is, I don't want to know what I'm gonna have to go through to achieve my goal of being a better person.

 

[TheTaco007]

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?

Bingo.

But yeah, I'm pretty close to your age, and even when I'm in a relationship I wouldn't call those feelings love. When you're under 20-25, it's mostly just hormones. (Friendship coupled with lust.)

The hard part is explaining that to your girlfriend. (Don't do it, it doesn't work out. Save it for breaking up with them.)

Love is taking out the garbage from her apartment to the dumpster, even though you don't have to.

Love is noticing the little things. Love is putting someone else first, before you ever think of yourself.

But with all these nice things said above, Love is most definately a give and take relationship, you need to get out of it about as much as you put in. In other words, you shouldn't be completely subservant to your spouse. You need to think critically and intelligently. Don't be afraid to call them out of stuff, it's part of being in a healthy relationship. I think people now days don't understand how to have good meaningful relationships with other people.

Have I been in Love? Why yes I have. In fact, I was the most dissenting, unenthusiastic, and the utmost non-believer in Love. Until, I met that one girl.

I'd had girlfriends before and all that stuff, never really even thought Love was a real deal then. Then, out of fucking nowhere it hit me like a freight train that just drank a powerthirst. Even then, I told myself that it wasn't possible, that there wasn't anyway I could possibly be anywhere near the 'L' word. "We'd only been dating 3 months, these things don't happen to me, I don't even like romance movies." Were just some of the things going through my head. The relationship lasted about 1.5 years, then we both mutually decided that we should start seeing other people (the last 6 months was a distance thing.) I still speak to her from time to time, and it's just been great being able to know her. But, it was one of those things that had to end. I'm not sad about it. I've moved on, started dating other people and such. In fact, the girl I'm dating right now looks rather promising.

@OP and others. I think the whole, "OMFG! I'm in Love and I met her last week!" thing is bullshit and mostly derived from people with low self-esteem and poor self-confidence. They need someone else to leach off of, because they can't do anything well by themselves.

I thought love was only true in f...*gets smashed in mouth*

Love is willingly giving another human being the power to bring your world crashing down around you, yet trusting them not to.

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*

this could get out of hand...

with hilarious results

You're doing it wrong.

I thought love was only true in f...*gets a face full of poo from monkeys*

 

[Edorf]

What I consider to be love, is when you simply just want to be with a certain person 24/7, and cant go a day without thinking about him/her... When you're willing to take the a long way round home just to walk with him/her.

Yes/no/perhaps ?

 

[TaboriHK]

It's something you aren't going to figure out in your teen years.

 

[Sronpop]

Love, is a way of feeling.
LOVE! Is a way of feeling less alone.
So whats all the fuss about?

Fuck it.

[Palademon]

I don't think I've experienced love.
But in the past there was a girl who I had feelings for. Early stages involved me twitching and shivering when talking to her, and uncontrolllable smiling. Me a person who hardly ever smiles, she could make me smile without doing anything, and we had fun just by being around eachother.
I didn't date her, she rejected me...

 

[MassiveGeek]

I'm only 17.

But I'm very much sure that I love my boyfriend. Why? Because I'm sure of it. It might sound like a weak point at first, but for me love isn't the emotion that screams the loudest; it's the one that is the most "secure", for lack of a better word. I feel comfortable, confident in my boyfriend that we share our love with eachother.

Love is very varying, it all depends on the people in the relationship. Because even though you can have an immense crush on someone, you might still not be able to maintain a relationship with that person - and many people make the mistake of declaring love in a relationship with a very bad foundation or base or whatever you wanna call it.

But this is from personal observation, people might disagree or experience it differently - and they might be right for their cause.

Also, never forget that there are two people in a relationship - and a massive amount to influence it(friends, family, etc).

 

[IrradiatedFish]

In all honesty, I don't believe love is something you can accurately describe with the limited form of written and/or spoken vocabulary we currently possess. It's as simple (and at the same time, as complex) as that.

..But what do I know?

PS:

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you lo... *STEAM ROLLLLERRRRR*

 

[SinisterGehe]

I have never felt "love" to anyone, I have never felt sexual interest to any person (male or female).
But what I think love would be is mutual trust and need to care for your companion(s). Love can be shared between one,two, fifty million gazillion people, it is not limited, but love relationship can be considered to be limited to few or two people.

I am not sure have I really missed anything if I haven't felt love. I am happy how I am now and how I have been.

 

[Lawnmooer]

I'm not sure but I think I was in love once, when I was 13-14.

Just thinking about her made me feel really happy and not care about anything bad in the world, it was the best feeling I've ever had (Not had similar feelings since) but alas she left me and I'm still not over her... (Currently 16)

This was different to any feelings caused by hormones, it was much more of a real emotion (I only have about 3-4 that I feel since I hit puberty (Anger, boredom, indifference and happiness) as it coincided with the death of my mother)

If you know there is a clear difference between Lust, Hormones and the feeling you have, that feeling is Love. (In my opinion)

 

[Count Igor]

Eh. That's kind of why I dislike saying "I love ____". Because everyone will always think that I'm too young.
But frankly, I experienced thirty years worth of emotions, and I know what love is, and I will fight for my right to love until I die.
I won't say my age, but if you're at all bothered and want to call me a liar and say "You're too young to know" and all that, it should be on my profile.

However, I do, and it's not something I can explain with typed up words.

 

[hyperhammy]

First of all, fuck off with the relationship threads.

Secondly, love is a cankersore; a disgusting, despicable, offensive, sickening emotion which rots the brain, which destroys the body.

I'm detecting that a certain someone has had a slightly bad experience with the warm and fuzzy side of life?

RAK

I have a feeling you don't like life.
1. Fuck off. No one asked you. You could've simply avoided clicking tthat little button and saved everyone including you a major headache.
2. Either get therapy or become a hermit. Meaning: fix what's wrong with you or leave society. Hating the only thing that keeps society sane is PROBABLY a sign that there's something wrong with you.

What your statement says about you:
1. You got spurned once, and you're a crybaby.
2. You think it's cool to act like a surly bastard. Take my word for it, it's not.
3. You're emo/misanthropic. See above.

hmmm... what the hell is your problem?
what's the thread title? -Love
what do you hate? -Love
Why click on it then? -Because you want to ***** to everyone.
