What's Love??

[Aeradalia]

Romantic love is not unconditional.

Period.

Anybody who believes otherwise has not been in a relationship long enough.

Now thank my post because you know I'm right.

Agrees... saying love is unconditional isn't accurate... Many things can dissolve a loving relationship... and love works on the 'condition' that both give and take equally... It's a wonderful balancing act that is both powerful and delicate...

Looking for different takes on what "Love" is exactly and what it means to love someone...

Love is feeling for him/her above anyone else, maybe not family (depends). But when you see other people better looking, you still prefer to stay with the one you are with.

I guess that answers both questions for me.

Love is when you look at the person your with afters year and years of being together and you still get a rush. Love is when you are not disgusted by that person. I mean I get squeamish over vomit, etc. But if its him I dont care what it is. I'll do whatever I have to do.

Longterm love is the bond that forms when two ppl are committed to assisting each other on their life's 'paths to growth'.

I can expand on this, but I've written entire essays about this before. Search for it.

Love is your heart finding its rythm with another person. I am lucky to have found mine.

Its good to know that so many ppl still believe that mature love is about THEM.

Thank you, Desperate Housewives & Sex In the City.

Love is the desire to spend your life with someone or something.

Love is the desire to spend your life with someone or something.

I desire to spend my life with 20% oxygen. Guess its love, then.

Hmmm. So, IndiReloaded, you seem to be taking what people say about Love and adding a jab to it.. Any particular reason why?

B/c I think many of the posts about this subject are shallow & poorly thought out. I'd like to see ppl actually *think* about it more deeply. I believe that if ppl did this, BEFORE they got into a serious relationship, that it would prevent a lot of the problems we see posted on this site.

Ok. And I agree to a point.. but I don't actually see that you started this thread, and I don't actually see the person starting this thread looking for what you just described. I see the responses so far in this thread to be of a very general topic and that seems alright with most other people.

How about you start a thread that explains what you would like to see the post be and I'll gladly post some very deep, commited, and intuitive thoughts in there..

Its been done already. And I already posted the Coles Notes on what I thought. And I've been around this site waaay longer than my post count shows, so I'm not shy about putting my thoughts where ever I think it will help.

As for what I would like the post to be, lol, this is YOUR intellectual exercise, babe, not mine. I'm just pointing out that what I've seen so far is shallow, IMO. If I see something I like, I'll 'thank' it, k?

hmmmm... love is never having to say you're sorry?? lol

Ha, if only. Sometimes I think that quote was created by soap opera sponsors, just to confuse their viewers & keep them watching for even more 'helpful tips'.

Wow.. I am sorry.. I meant nothing to be offensive.. I was just saying it seemed to me that you were a little harsh on each persons post..

I'll go and look now for your thread. I bet you have some great insights and I look forward to seeing if we share some of those thoughts..
