Your definition of Love.

[complicity]

im sure it means something different to everyone.
essentialy its the same, but different things are different to different people.
because i cant really put my finger on it,
id like to hear what other people would describe it as.

Love is what is left over after infatuation dies. If you are lucky.

[complicity]

i cant say i know what either really is..
wait.
infatuation is like, basically obsession right?

[complicity]

lol i thought infatuation was something you figured out pretty early.
im preeettty sure im infatuated already
but then, i might also *just* be obsessed.
im not too sure.
thats kindof why i asked...

[complicity]

this makes me smile =]
like the famous screen pictre sais
my head is screaming WHO CARES? and my heart is screaming I DO.

[complicity]

my head stupid.
my head told me that beer was good.
and it tells me that just ONE more peice of chocolate is ok.
its how i get fat =[

[complicity]

and this is a double forum
i still want to know what love is in other peoples eyes =]

[complicity]

bad boys..lol makes it sound a bit like irty talk tbh.
but i know, i get you.
i tried to get over him...all it did was send me whamming into therapy.
so i gave up.
i imagine it'll fade..
and when i dont want to do anything anymore, i'll stop.

[Sooky]

Yo!

Just read through your other thread, seems like a tough situation. Tried to put together some advice for you so I hope it helps, even if its only to highlight how good everyone else's advice is. =P

Anyway, a definition of love...

Well chemically I'd say love is the result of various hormones and neurotransmitters floating through brain cells and interacting with receptors. In romantic love oxytocin and vasopressin are thought to be the main culprits. And lots of other chemicals come into play too, dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. Anyway, sorry a bit too technical I guess, but its really fascinating when you look into it. It just amazes me how every day our emotions are influenced by all these complex reactions going on in the brain, and we never really stop to think about it.

Anyway, so thats my biochemical view of love. Personally I'd say it was a strong attachment to someone (or in some cases something... TV with me =P) that means its very important in your life and you'd be lost without it. Mmm… I guess I'm not so good at the “normal persons” definition of love. I'd recommend you turn to these other guys for that. They're the love experts.
