Love has several different meanings in the English language, from something that gives a little pleasure ("I loved that meal") to something that one would die for (patriotism, pair-bonding). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love. As an experience usually felt by a person for another person, it is commonly considered impossible to describe. Dictionaries tend to define love as deep affection or fondness.[1] In colloquial use, according to polled opinion, the most favoured definitions of love include the words:[2]\n\nlife - someone or something for which you would give your life. \ncare - someone or something about which you care more than yourself. \nfriendship - favoured interpersonal associations or relationships. \nunion - a synergistic connection, as in the perfect union of two souls. \nfamily - people related via common ancestry, religion, or race, etc. \nThe concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love, calling it a recently invented abstraction. Moreover, approximately 13 percent of cultures reportedly have no word for love.[3] Others maintain that love exists but is undefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature, etc. Perhaps due to its emotional primacy, love is one of the most common themes in art.\n\nu want the real?

To me love means being there for your loved ones. I'm not just talking about your significant other, but and family and friends. Love means you want nothing more to help them and love them forever no matter what. Everyone needs love in their life and needs to be loved.....SAM

As quoted by Stephen R. Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Many forget that love is not just a noun but a proactive verb. Loving someone isn't just a state of mind. It requires effort, time, resources, money and action. \n\n"So love her" he advised a man who has lost feelings for his wife. "My friend, love is a verb. Love- the feeling- is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?" Conclusion-Habit 1 (Be Proactive)

read the passage in the bible: Love is...\nor watch the movie A Walk To Remember. one of my favourite movies and it gives love a whole new meaning. \n\nmy definition of love is thinking about them before you fall asleep or just being able to spend a whole night lying awake w/ them in your thoughts, smiling everytime you see them or get reminded of them, you want to protect them, take away their fears, cherish them, and be with them. \n\nmy dreams i've had about my crush occured pretty frequent but my favourite is the one where it's night and the moon is out. I'm standing there beside him and we're both looking at Niagra Falls together(we we'ren't in an embrace or anything. No one else was around. It was just me and him. the only thing crappy about that dream was i woke up before anything else happend. lol. aww. it was a pretty sweet dream that i would like to have com true. :)

"'Love' is generally taken as being derived from the French "l"oeuf", the egg, symbolising nothing. The term "love" can also be said to come from the English phrase "neither for love nor for money", indicating nothing."

Love is a feeling of intensity that just happens naturally. It is acceptance of the other naturally at their best and worst, instant attraction, instant connection, liking all instantaneously and all flowing naturally. \nTo love is a feeling that is irreplacable and to engage in love making with that individual is a feeling that once experienced can never again be duplicated. Constantly thinking and longing for that person when not in each other's presence. When 2gether, they complete you and they are your all, you do not feel as though you are missing anything else in life. You long for no other, and wandering eyes are not in your vocabulary; true love in and of itself is a gift that happens once in a life time and you will know it when it happens.

the term is not actually love.  it's oeuf.  Meaning egg in french.  Egg is shaped like a zero. So tecnically.  Love is zero.  Just easier for us english (normal) speaking people to say love instead of oeuf.
