Never.\nThere is passionate love and companionate love.\nPassionate love fades.  Companionate love grows.

In my experience, patience is something that can be learned, and then needs to be practiced regularly.\n\nIf you love someone you shouldn't be hurting yourself by not expressing what you really feel, but at the same time, if you express yourself you will be careful not to hurt them also. Also, love is only part emotional. Love is what you do as much as what you feel. Sometimes you have to do before you feel.\n\nHope that helps.

Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.\nIn ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself.\n\nThe concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages—though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry. Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being a quantity which is spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life.\n\nCultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love". Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value", as opposed to relative value.\n>r

Pretty hard situation, but I think deep inside, you already know the answer. If she's the love of your life, no ocean's too wide, no valley's too deep, you will do it. But if you guys will just be transitional lovers, slide back to the good old days because it's comfortable, until you meet the next hit, then you better let it slide.\n\nLook within, you know best what you want.

I dont think it is easy either way. If you are loved you have to put the other persons feelings into consideration and appreciate the love they are giving you. You have to cherish it and make sure not to tarnish it. \n\nAnd if you are the one loving, you have to do the same things. Make sure that you treat them kindly, look out for there feelings as well as your own.

After 4 weeks? No. Lust yes, love no. Love takes a long time to fully develop.

as deep as this question :) ... seriously, I think it depends on the person who is having the thought, hearing the heart and bringing on the essence of love ... I think we all have our variations ... some deeper than others.

I am going through the same deal, except I am no where close to the love part yet. It is difficult to lay yourself out on a line when your not certain they feel the same. I am beginning to understand you just have to take that plunge if you care enough that it worries you and your ready to express it. I need to take my own advice.

If you have to ask, you're not there yet.  Love can creep up on ya and just kinda take your breath away.  You'll know.  It's an awesome feeling, but at the same time it can be very hard.

It sounds like you are there.  It's called tough love for a reason.  Sometimes people just need to hit bottom, and hit the bottom bottom of that bottom before they really truly get it.\n\nYou tried.  I hope you find peace with your decision, you need to take care of you.

I know it is hard, but you just can't give up on love. It is not good for you. Love brings happiness. I know that it can be scary but that is just half the fun of it, right.

When you think you love somebody, you love them. That's what love is: Thoughts.\n\nThere are different kinds of love, yes. Some are fleeting, some are simple, some are complex and lasting. There's no 'best' or 'true' kind of love, and there's no sure way to know what kind of love you're in. But if you're afraid of being hurt, I have a rule of thumb. Usually, the quicker two people fall in love, the quicker either one could fall out of love. People have called love that took a long time to form 'deep' and love that didn't 'shallow', but those are misnomers. Whirlwind love, the kind that appears almost out of nowhere, can feel and be as 'deep' as any other kind of love. But if you're wondering if a 'whirlwind romance' will last, my unfortunate answer is that it probably won't.\nBest of luck,

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. He/She may be ill or tired or incredibly busy, but he/she will always make time for you and that's when you know its somthing special and that you have never felt this way for someone else before. There is something about that person that is simply unique and no-one else comes close. Furthermore, you know in your heart that no-one else ever will. It's Love for sure when you both can't go a day with out speaking to each other and if you do it feels like your day was missing something. Love means never having to say your sorry. To truly love is to accept another as they are--to know a person deeply, with genuine concern for their welfare, without feeling the need to change him or her. It means giving of yourself out of the desire to bless another, not hoping for reciprocation. When we truly love, we don´t merely tolerate someone else´s differences, we celebrate them. We take the other fully into our heart and create a sacred shrine for him or her there, paying the due honor and respect of royalty.\n\nI hope the feelings expressed here will convey the feelings you only get when your truly in love with that ONE SPECIAL PERSON.\n\nNow you know!  :o)
