Based on what I think love is ... I think it's a connection between both.\n\nTrue Love ....\n\nIt's as mysterious as the stars it was written on, as elusive. It is everything it's hyped about to be. It's worth taking every risk, it's worth fighting for, and the problem is if you don't risk all then you risk even more. Love is kind of an elixir that lures us out of reality and into the realm of fantasy. It's like a drug creating an altered state of consciousness.\n\nLove is the moment when an unfavorable act becomes favorable, when you make excuses for some one else's mistakes, when you learn to tolerate, when you learn acceptance, when sacrificing becomes the beauty of life. \n\nIt's the courage to tell the truth especially when you believe its unspeakable.\n\nIt's the time when seeing some one, being seen by some one and thinking about some one feels good, when you learn to find happiness in the smallest of moments.\n\nThat's love--when you learn to put down your ego and love some one more than that.\n\nLove is forgetting your self and remembering some one else. \n\nLove is choosing your partner exactly as he is, and supporting him in his choices. It's honoring your partner's truth and wanting best for him.\n\nIt's not controlling or possessing but rather respecting and trusting.\n\nIt does not mean owning some one, getting some one, rather it means being happy in your loved one's happiness.\n\nLove means living without judgments. It means treasuring your beloved and never taking him for granted. \n\nLove means being able to forgive and learning to give more then you get. It means reaching out when you don't want to, communicating rather than assuming and asking questions rather than jumping to conclusions.\n\nIt means working things out rather than fighting, fighting rather than leaving, and staying through the hurts and disappointments, knowing that through commitment all can be healed. \n\nFalling in love is like being enveloped in a magical cloud. The air feels fresher, the flowers smell sweeter, food tastes more delectable, and the stars shine more brightly at night. You feel light and lofty as though you are floating through life, and your problems and challenges suddenly seem insignificant and easily surmountable. Your body feels alive, your skin tingles and you awaken in the morning with a smile on your face. You are suspended in a state of supreme delight.\n\nLove is a feeling and an action that arises from the most primal place within us. Making a relationship however, is a process that is learned. A relationship is the vessel that carries the precious cargo of love through time.\n\nRelationships are like a precious antique lamp; it takes a little polish and some effort to restore it to its valuable condition. A relationships love and luster will only improve with age if you continually give it the care that keeps it beautiful. But once you uncover its essential beauty it will bring you joy for years to come.\n\nAfter having said all this I want to say that you have to make the decision on your own, on one hand love is magic, on the other it's time tested relationship worked hard and furiously at.

You know that you are in love when all you can do is think about that person. When you look at the person and get a tingling sensation through your body. When the thought of being without them scares you. When you can see yourself with that person for the rest of your life. When you are apart from the person, you long to be with them. Love is a funny thing, but when it's real and it's the real thing you will know because the signs will be there and everything else will fall into place.

♥=The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone. \n\nLove is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.\n\nThis love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.\n\nIt's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.\n\nLove can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.\n\nOne word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: \n\nThat word is love.\n\n♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥An inexplainable yet incredibly strong feeling for someone...Most people use the word "love" to get into someone else's pants. Love is overused in today's world, people say they love someone because of the way they look or their body. That isn't love. Love is when you can't do anything without thinking about that person, you always want to be with them. It's not that you want to have sex with them, you just want to spend time with them and you just want to hold them and never let go. Love can be fooling, you can think you're in love and it can lead to the most horrible feeling in the world. Also you can wait so long for someone, loving them, and waiting for them to love you back, but they don't return it for a long time and you spend years thinking and thinking and it tears you up inside but when that person realizes that they love you back it's miraculous. Love is a very strong word, don't overuse it.

To me, Love is an endless supply.\n\nTo honestly feel that you can care about someone, and have that someone feel the exact same as you is an incredible, awesome, refreshing experience. It comes from deep within and you will never want to be without that feeling.

I believe we decide to love other people. What we think of as love or the way we feel when we're in love is really just a lot of chemicals playing tricks on us. To really love someone and to commit to them it has to be a conscious decision or we'll give in to an illusion and it won't last.

Love is comfort. Love is profound and vast. Love is feeling safe with another, a friendship set on fire, or rather, to the extreme, when two people care about one another more than the world, and all other worries can be put aside when the two are together. Love exists between the two no matter where they are. It is unconditional. It waits for everyone but can only be found if not looked for and does not wait forever- you may think you have found your true love, but in a few years, he or she could be married to someone else, another love. It cannot be created in an instant. But it can be found everywhere. Love isn't holding hands, soft music, pretty dresses, or the scent of a cologne or perfume. That's romance. Love is just there without any material objects to get in the way. Love is not proven by a mere ring or necklace. It is proven through acts of love. Showing you care about someone is one of the most important things you will do in your lifetime. So don't force anything on her or don't let her force anything on you. Let each day come individually. Things will work out.

"Love" is a very subjective term...we use the word love for many things, such as: I love my cat; I love coffee; I love my mother. The question that you have to ask is this; is your coffee on the same platform as your cat, and is your cat on the same platform as your mother? The answer is usually no, I love my cat more than my coffee, and I love my mother more than my cat(hence the USUALLY in there).\nBut what "love" actually is, the actual happening of "being in love", is a chemical reaction that happens within the brain at the meeting of someone that enhances said chemicals therein. You then get the physical signs of butterflies in the stomach, sweaty palms, and so on and so forth. Also through that comes arousal and then the "urge" to...um...procreate. That is the "physical" side of love.\nThe "mental" or "psychological" love comes from a deep connection with another person where you feel safe, secure, and otherwise happier. You feel relaxed, are open to communication and debate, and you feel a deep sense of self. That is the "mental" love...\nBut love within itself is hard to pin down and hard to describe. If you are "in-love" you're in love, no matter what anyone else tells you. I suggest that to find love, you must know yourself; only through that can you be "open" enough for true fulfillment from another person.

If you think love is nothing but kiss and hugs, you haven't felt it yet. I mean no offense to you at all, but that's (at least what I believe) to be true. Love is as much an emotional thing as it is physical. When you find your true love, it's like your life is complete: you don't care if your job sucks, you have no  money, and you look like crap. Just knowing that someone loves you can make all the difference. It can be the best or the worst thing in the world, depending on if it lasts.

Truth be told, love is a very difficult emotion to describe. First, the strongest bond you'll feel is 'attraction'. Often it gets mistaken for love. It happens.\nI personally have never been in love, because I don't believe in it. But, to be fair, I won't deny that it doesn't exist, because I see it every day--in my parent's eyes. Love is a certain bond, a very strong bond that exists between two people. It's also very subconsious, just like attraction; you cannot just decide one day to say, "Oh, I think I'm gonna fall in love today with the man or woman of my dreams."\n--Hope I helped,\n\ndinos

Trust.  You feel that you can share all your thoughts and feelings with that person.  You can talk about the evil things you did, your future dreams, and the things you are scared about.  You can trust that person with your deepest secrets.\n\nRespect.  You respect that person.  You care what they think because you value them and their opinions.\n\nYou enjoy spending time with them.  You are at ease and comfortable in their presence (that is... when there isn't a strong sexual tension ; )\n\nThere's probably a myriad of other factors... but that's what I think of when I think of love.

The feeling of being belonged to someone whom you love. This coupled with the attitude of care and share with the knowledge that what ever I say would be taken in the right context makes me feel at ease. No confusions or misunderstandings can ever creep in if we click togather so well. \n\nThe made for each other feeling

Because most of us are conditioned to think of love as a  hollywood film, you know, the kind of love that has an orchestra playing, fireworks exploding, blondes and muscles in the sunset, we look for that same image. \n\n Late in life we realize love is when you think of yourself last but your parnter first. Love is when you change the babies diapers at 2 am. When a 70 year old man massages his tired wife's feet. When a working mother cooks a full dinner for her husband and family after a hard day's work. Love is when the money for a new set of  tire rims or a flat screen T.V. is spent on a piece of jewelry for your wife. \n\nLove is when you start giving it, and stop looking for it .

This feeling applies to nearly everyone.  A simple fact of human nature is to seek familiarity.  This is why we feel most comfortable around those we love and know well.  This is why we feel sorrow when we lose a loved one or when a normal routine is permanently removed from our lives. The longer that "thing" is a part of our lives, the more we miss it when it's gone.\n\nAt the same time, we are adaptive creatures.  We adjust to new things, often slowly at first, until they become common place in our lives.  The cycle is repeated hundreds of times throughout our lives...and it's all part of the human experience.

Well to me, Love is a feeling, so yes I believe we could really define love as a feeling... I mean when I fell in love with this one person, this person made me feel things that I could not explain... Like I would always wake up happy, and proud everyday... I would do things that I would never do, why because the feeling of love gave me something to live for... To be loved or to love, is the greatest thing that God has ever given us... It's a feeling inside that no one can bare to describe... I really don't know how to put this, but to me it's just the bestest feeling in the world... I guess in order to actually understand it, you have to feel it within you... Saying you love someone in a way is a different story and in another it does relates to how a person feels... I mean you can say you love them,  but in reality, just like them... But than again if you feel that you love them, and you know that he/she is the one that you love, and that keeps you living than that's love... So yes you can...

Simple. Love is an emotion, and like any other emotion, is addictive or repulsive, positive or negative. You can label the emotion you feel regarding your boy/girl friend any way you like. Just remember, it's YOU who are causing the addiction, not him/her.
