Without sounding idiotic, what does love feel like?

[Furioso]

Well, its really quite simple. Its kinda like....

Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been when its right its right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night

Good sir, would this be what you are referring to?

I always post this in this type of thread

I like people's reply so far. So many different views.

I can tell you I fell in love twice.

First time was awesome. I can tell that when I declared to her, I totally felt that "butterflys in the stomach" thing. It really feels like there are insects flying inside you. Luckly for me, she felt the same way. Just being next to her made me unrationally smile, my head sometimes felt fuzzy and light but a cool fuzzy and light feeling if that makes any sense. I could only care to make her happy and when that smile showed upon her face, it was like a star borned inside my chest every time.
When it came to an end, however, my chest wanted to rip itself apart. There was a void that nothing could fill and there were only ashes to what once was my heart.

Second time was... I don't know, I knew it wouldn't work out, that the person would never feel for me what I felt for him but you can't choose who you fall for. It was like a phoenix, reborning from the ashes, warming up my heart once again. The unrational sensation to smile whenever he was around, the heat up feelings when he laughed... it was awesome. Painfully awesome.

So, basically, love is straight down weird. You will simply know when it happens.

Love to me feels like a all consuming, terrifying, wonderful set of emotions. For her, I would wait. Even if my heart decays. I'll hear her out. I won't take her for granted, or push her away. I will always be honest with her. I appreciate her and to be quite honest, I would do just about anything for her. ♥

and then you get friendzoned!

It usually beings with the feeling that you are the luckiest person in the world.
And it usually ends with feeling like you were conned.

Captcha was heart break. lol

Erm, if the OP figured this thread would be cringeworthy, why create it in the first place?

From my own observations love is like a dependency on someone. Imagine being addicted to crack or smack and going through withdrawl when that person is not around.

Of course, if you are an addict with access to the thing you are addicted to, you are normally at least pretty content

Pretty much this.


On a slightly more serious note, I don't think I could describe it to you, people have been making art forever to try and convey it and if that doesn't work for you then I'm probably not going to have too much luck.

A temporary change in the levels of several different neurochemicals, some of which are still currently unknown.

Interesting responses, can't add much as I'm basically in the same boat as OP (almost couldn't have put it more accurately myself), but definitely interesting.

It's different for each person and with each person. It's an undefinable.

You can't really describe love because it's something that you have to experience to actually know what it is. Trust me when I say that you will know when you've found the one that's right for you. In my opinion, people who can put an adjective or some descriptive word to what love is has only felt affection or lust, not love. In a way, when you experience honest to goodness love, almost nothing in the world can bother you when you're around your significant other. He or she makes you happy and content without even doing anything, and everything just feels right with the world.
