Yes I too am a romantic.Eldarion said:In a happier place? I joke...a bitMarik2 said:Ah yes good ol escapist.Eldarion said:
Full of misanthropes and pessimists, where would we be without them?
One of the things about love I find so interesting is that to get close to another human being the amount of trust it takes is amazing. You hear about how awful people can be to eachother in the news all the time, but even against all odds we can find another person we trust and care for enough to share part of our lives with. That even in our seemingly cruel and bleak world two flawed, fragile human beings find comfort in eachother.
I'm a romantic, can you tell?
I wish more people would see it that way.
And not HUR ITS JUST ALL CHEMICALS IN UR BRAINS NOTHING MORE HUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRR
Yes we know our emotions come from chemicals, so can you please shut the fuck up? And stop being a little *****.
To quote Owen Wilson: "Love is the recognition of a soul's counterpoint in another."
To quote science: It's a chemical reaction which causes attraction to another.
I think it's awkwardness mixed with humor, me making an ass of myself, and then realizing that she doesn't care and will still have me anyway.
So...love is being patient, and yourself.

I'm quite the romantic myself and sometimes I definitely feel like things would be much easier if people saw things from my perspectiveMarik2 said:Yes I too am a romantic.Eldarion said:In a happier place? I joke...a bitMarik2 said:Ah yes good ol escapist.Eldarion said:

Odd how we know how it works yet know nothing about it
Extreme affection for a person/place or thing.
Though mainly, love is feeling absolute peace, ecstasy, joy, warmth, excitement, happiness, acceptance...well, a whole mess of emotions towards someone and the feeling of absolute ruin if the feelings aren't returned, but the feeling like you're about to die from happiness when it's requited.

Same thing.crudus said:
OT: Love is finding happiness in the face of overwhelming odds.
Captcha: from elsork
So that's where Captchas come from. Huh.
It's very difficult to distinguish between Love and Lust.
However, simplifying the equation as much as possible, what I personally have learned across 40+ years of life:
Love means that you want the subject of your affection to be happy, even if you aren't enjoying that happiness with them.
Love means that you respect the thoughts and opinions of a counterpart to the extent that you no longer feel the need 'to be right', but that, instead, you just wish the most efficient outcome; including, if necessary, the evolution of child care services to the point where this sort of a perfect example is something that people can adapt to, learn from, and come out more equipped to deal with "real life" on the opposite side.
Sadly, that sort of education has been rare lately....

I guess love is accepting someone's deepest flaws and annoying habits and finding good in them. It's forgiving them, and giving them a second chance, it's wanting to be around them whenever possible, it's missing them when they're not there, it's sacrificing things so that they're happy (within reason to all of the above, of course)
This. Also, like most of the things that arise from your genome, it usually ends up screwing you over in a big way.Furburt said:
This is my favorite interpretation: Love is the highest emotional reaction to having that which you value most.

I can't really explain the feeling myself... all I can say is, personally I feel people who say it is just a biological reaction, have never truly felt love.
This is probably the best way to describe it I have seen.

Frankly im STILL trying to get my best friend's sister, I have pretty much told her how I feel, and she said no but I got the feeling she is uncertain and I havent told her brother yet but all I can do now is keep on trying until she likes me or loves me, but she is still young SO I will think she will be more mature when she is older and then I will ask again...so DANM I hate waiting years at a time *sigh* looks like I have to find a job, get good and move into an apartment with my friend and when she is old enough I will confess in person to her and then say I like his sister to her brother...
