Well, I don't know what's happened to Aylaine. I do know she's bloody lovely from the posts and advice she's given. But I've known you around here a lot longer. I guess you're winning by default?SimuLord said:
But you are always a cheery, decent person anyway, so yeah
Before your 18 and developed a cynical mind I think it's just lust.
Although I think lust is more fun than love.

Love is the most powerful, most beautiful, reassuring, most terrifying and most evil of all the human emotions.
At 16, yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't know what love is. "Love" in high school is merely a mixture of lust and the desire to have a relationship.
Not that I know much about love, I've never been in a relationship, but that has to do with my own pessimistic attitude about it
I don't quite get why people submit themselves to love, you need to be completely vulnerable and exposed when you're in relationship.
That leaves you open to get hurt, and I don't think I could ever place that amount of trust in any single human being.

?I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.?
This, according to a website, on the internets, cause the internet knows everything.

I don't really get love. I don't think I experience it myself, so all I can offer are some things that I've learned from other people.
Love is made of several different emotions and while people talk about love as being the same everywhere, it's a concoction that varies from situation to situation and between individuals. In general, love is probably something that's supposed to be an adhesive between people, something to keep us in groups and at the very least coupled together so that healthy offspring can be reared.
Love, being a whole mess of different emotions, isn't always sexual in nature even when it's romantic. People seem to have drives independent of each other for romantic but non-sexual intimacy and intimacy that happens for sexual stimulation, although most people seem to have trouble discerning between the two because oftentimes they follow each other closely. The importance of courtship behaviour that doesn't necessarily lead to sex and the importance of sexual stimulation varies from person to person, which causes many relationships to fail.
I myself am content with not having a need for intimacy.

Thank-you for that, I'm tempted to say I love you for that comment, but that would be a little much.Zeithri said:
But yes, I am only 15 and I can say for a fact that I love my girlfriend, when someone really is special to you and has done a lot for you, it means something, no matter whether you are still young or not. They have actually done proper, well backed studies and found that early love can be serious business.
That's my 2 cents.
Ooooooo! I can finally use a funny quote.
"The Encyclopedia Galactica chapter on love states that it is far too complicated to define. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of love: avoid if at all possible."

I concur. I used to be very skeptical of young love, but that was when I was single and I could scoff at such things. Now I'm in a wonderful relationship with a girl who I can honestly I love. and It's a wonderful feeling, one of the best in the world.brandon237 said:
Love is the ultimate reason for life. it's when the first thought when you wake up is of the other person, when you think about them all day, when they are your last thought before you go to sleep, and whenyour worst nightmare with them is better than your best dream without them.
it's also when you don't care that they don't care about you. you still love them anyway.

Anyway, the definition of finding love is pretty damn loose. From your options, we have three: a shallow physical relationship, an obsessive emotional longing, and the trust and respect that comes from camaraderie.
A relationship based upon one of these things is generally weak and unhealthy. Bizarrely, from my limited experience with it, I've found that love combines all three in a yin-yang sort of zen balance, for lack of a better term.
Some instances of love began as a friendship which gradually led to attraction and respect, with common interests leading to spending time together more which brought the attraction on. Others start with a fiery spark, the storybook "at first glance" from across the room based upon initial impressions and contact, based upon fantasy, excitement, and physicality. However, the strongest love is unyielding, infinite, and unconditional. The romance, the eroticism, the simple compatibility, (You know, that "light-up-a-smile-on-your-face-when-she-walks-in-the-room" kind) it's all there.
Finding it is another story, but knowing what it is would probably be the first step.
There are too many definitions of love, but my dear (and recently) departed grandmother left me with this quote (directed at my delinquent cousin):
"I don't do these things for you because I like ya. I do it because I love ya."
Pardon me if I think love is more than just an irrational mechanism designed to keep us from murdering each other.

Love is different for everyone. To me, love is having a best friend that you're in love with and attracted to. Sure, the lovey-dovey things are cute, but the real love, trust and honesty comes from the underlying friendship, and I think that's what ultimately keeps two people together.
