So... DNA is like a trojan? And love is one of those annoying banner ads that stupid people fall for sometimes?Anonymouse said:

damnit i got ninjad. anyway, love is giving. you create that love by giving to others. proof comes from the fact that parents love their children more than their children love them back. so yeah, love comes from the act of giving. the more you give to someone the more you come to love them.

I saw a dance piece choreographed by Martha Graham based on three different types of love from a female perspective.
You've got your flighty adolescant love, more in love with what her new-found power over men can acomplish than the actual relationship itself. For her its being in control and the feeling of power.
You've got red hot passionate love. An infatuation more than anything. A sexual desire borne out of physical attractiveness and a willingness on both parts. She too enjoys the power, but also the feeling of a new relationship. It is sexual, powerful, all-consuming but generally shallow.
The third is, as Graham put it, mature love. An acceptance of one person above all others. Two people as equals who live as two parts of a whole and as seperate beings. Comfortable, wise and long-lasting, though not without its troubles.
Thats Martha Grahams view anyhow.
To my eyes love seems more like a cold fire that burns within someones mind. Eating away at them until they all they can see is the other person. Love is an imperative, a "Must" amongst "Want"s. Maybe thats just unrequited love. I've no experience of love in any form really. Mostly i suspect it may not exist in the ways culture deems it does and frankly i suspect (read :hope) that is more to life than love.
Life is too short and too important to waste on love.

I do have to agree with a lot of these posts. I do, however have to say there is always exceptions to the rules, even if it has an incredibly small chance of happening. My relationship is one of those miraculous exceptions, so I can say fairy tales are not impossible, but again they're very rare. You need to always keep a clear head and hold an objective view on these early 'feelings'.

Okay silliness aside. You can't define love really. Love is essentially subjective. Everyone's own definition of love is different and even changes over time. There are times where even hatred can strangely turn into (out to be) love.

Being 'in love' for the first time with a certain person sure feels like you love them. I'm not saying you don't care for her, but I doubt that in this stage you could endure all the crap that this relation could throw at you when it progresses.
If you get to the point where it's really tough and you have no problem sticking around, then you'll know for sure.
Love? It's something psychological. You can be in love with someone, and then one day decide that things aren't going so well, and flush it all away, and find someone new. Sometimes you think you are in love, but you are not, you are just codependent of someone. You may also think you're in love, but you're not mature enough to realize what that even means.
Love isn't something bound to humans, you can love the nature around you, you can love a hobby, you can love and activity, you can love to relax at the shore of an ocean and watch the sun go down. Of course, you can't have sex with those things, but sex has nothing to do with love. You can make sex with anyone you like, you don't have to be in love, only some persons have the illusion that somehow sex is strictly related to love.
So love is something really personal, when you care about someone or something really much, but love is never absolute, never.

Love is being comfortable enough with someone that you want to spend as much time with them as possible, and being able to be completely open and comfortable with that person WHILE AT THE SAME TIME caring enough for them to try and make their lives as easy as possible. Also:
