i don't want to belittle whatever feelings people think they have but love is less magic than it is science
this pretty much sums up the average male lonely hearts ad
and if my local paper is anything to go by the average female ad reads a little like:
"i have big tits and blond hair, i'm not fat. searching for a rich guy to pay my bills in exchange for sex"
To me, love is liking someone a lot. Trying to explain it any other way is foolish and fruitless because you'll not be able to explain it right. There's nothing wrong with it being explained like that, it's still as meaningful as it once was, just simpler.
So very edgy and angst filled. I'd say enjoy high school but with that post looking the way it does I'm not sure you will. Seriously though, could you be much more cynical? It doesn't make you look as wise and experienced as you think it does.Toy Master Typhus said:
I believe in it, its an emotion like any other. Perfectly natural and observable.
I don't think I've ever felt it though and have no idea what love actually feels like.

-Actual love is something that CANNOT be understood by those who have never experienced it (I have tried a length to communicate the notion to a handful of friends who were like "Yea yea, I get it" only to have them come back to me years or months later saying things akin to "Holy crap, man, I didn't understand what you meant about love when you explained it to me before, but now it all makes perfect terrifying sense".

A crush is not love.
"Love at first sight" is not love.
Infatuation is not love.
She's the first person I ever loved.
We have never been together.
She has become one of my best friends.
She is the person I trust most in the entire world.
I have unflinchingly loved her for 8 years now, and it took me 5 years to also love someone else.
She is the sole reason that I became a force for good.
She is the reason I am loyal, honest, chivalrous, humble, empathetic, protective.
She is the reason I have no fears for my own life.
She is the reason I became deeply philosophical and earned myself a wide array of wisdom.
She has unwittingly had the single greatest impact on my life that anyone or anything ever has.
I close my eyes just to look at her, to see her when I wake up is the dream.
I look into her eyes and see a world that doesn't exist; a world I wish I was in.
When she's around the rest of the world sort of disappears and the world is just the two of us; every color shines, every sound becomes music.
She gave me the first understanding of why humanity thrives, what makes the world go round, what has driven humans to achieve some of the most epic feats in all of history.
She made me face my own personal hell - but she didn't let me do it alone. And through that trial by fire she single-handedly gave me an iron will and forged me into someone able to walk the path of good and morality without doubt.
For these and a great many other things I owe her, and whether or not I ever awaken to a day where she is with me, I do intend to do all I can to repay her.

Love is the feeling that something or somebody and yourself are in fact part of a single entity. When two people find true love, the boundaries between one and the other disappear entirely. Finding true love is extremely difficult and highly improbable and it's important to accept this about life.
From what I've heard of it, apparently it's wonderful.
From what little I've experienced of something resembling it, every time except once it has left me disappointed.
I believe in it, but trying to find it is like trying to shoot a bullseye with a sawed-off shotgun at a target 200 meters away while blindfolded, drunk and facing in the wrong direction.
The closest to what I've come in trying to define love is: such great attachment to and passion about something that merely thinking about it makes you forget everything else in the world.

For a long time I didn't know what all the fuss was about and I was very cynical about the whole thing. Then it happened to me. Best.Thing.In.Life.
what is love to me?
to me love is when a man throws all reason and rationale out the window and becomes an idiot.
that of cource does not mean i lost all hope on love... i am just saying that when a man is in love, he just becomes an idiot

Exactly. It's one of those things that you have to experience for yourself in order to just begin to understand it. And it's so abstract that no one could possibly explain the feeling. It's the best feeling in the world. On the other hand, unrequited love and heartbreak are the worst feelings.Ieyke said:
More OT: Yuuuuup. I believe that love exists, and in several different forms. But the general feeling is something you would defend. Something you won't allow someone to find a single fault with without you offering a counter point. But, I am shit at putting down the feeling of profound feelings...
Yeah sure. Love is... love, you know precisely what it is because you've almost certainly experienced it at some point. What I don't believe is that love is any more valuable if it lasts longer; you can love someone for five minutes, doesn't stop it being love. I hate when people try to judge others' relationships and say stuff like 'that isn't love, that's just infatuation'. It's love if it feels like love, don't try to define it for everyone.
