♥=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.

you know you are in love when you love someone the way you want to be loved.  You know you are loved when someone loves you the way they want to be loved.

This goes back to the age old question; what is love? well this is my definition: Usually people say that they love someone because the other person makes them laugh; makes them feel comfortable; makes them smile and laugh; makes them feel complete - i tend to say that's not love - that's a self centred feeling. Love to me is when you want to be with the other person beause you want to make HIM/OR HER happy, you want to make THEM feel comfortable, make THEM smile and laugh; make THEM feel complete. Love is more of giving then wanting something from someone. A simple love test: If you took the brains of someone you think you love and put it on another body, would you feel the same? If you would then that's love, because you care and want to GIVE to the person - regardless of looks... more of what's in the inside. So, are you in love? I hope so :)

Love is an attachment to something/someone. It's the desire to be with someone. I believe that there isn't One True Love or a Soulmate. Anybody can be with anyone. It just depends how much your personalities match and what you are willing to put up with. If you find someone with the same habits/hobbies/outlook on life, then chances are you will both enjoy each others company and continue a relationship, where love forms. It is possible to love someone without them loving you back. It's your desicion. But true love is when that person loves you the same amount that you love them. :)\n\n\nREPLY:\nI didn't say there wasn't True Love. I said there wasn't "One True Love". Anyone can be with anyone. And I have found True Love.

Well, love is different from affection. Affection is what you feel emotionally for the person. Love is something much deeper and special and couldn't just be given to anyone.

I don't think that a person can be in love with two people at the same time.  Being in love and just loving someone are two completely different things.  I think that we talk ourselves into believing that we are in love with both people because we find qualities in both people that makes us want to be with them.  That is just love.  When you are in love with someone, there is no other person for you-no matter what qualities that other person has.

No. You can love someone dearly, but not be in love with them. When you are "in love" then no one else matters. She/he is your world. You connect on so many different levels that its impossible to share that same feeling with another person @ the same time. No way.

being in love is when you love another person enough to be with them for the rest of forever and loving someone is like loving your best friend.  You need then to rely on, but when it comes down to it, you could always ask someone else about your problems and rely on them.

Love is seeing a reflection of yourself in another person. Not a perfect reflection - a different one that is better in some ways and just different in others. Love is seeing what is wonderful about the world, and what *could* be.

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.

Love can be the best feeling in the world, or the worst.  I've experienced both.  But when two people are in love with eachother, they wanna spend the rest of their life with eachother.  Whenever they're together, their hearts are racing, and they're truely happy with life.  Love is committment, companionship, and so much more.  "love" is different then how you love your mom or dad or brother.  "love" is when you look at your love, and you realize every beautiful thing about them, and how much they've changed you for the better.  Whether we realize it or not, love changes us greatly, and usually it's positive changes.  But love can also lead to depression and a dreadful lonliness if it is not returned by the person you love.  There's a reason everybody has trouble getting over somebody they were truely in love with.

love can't be described in words but i will try:\n\nlove is a feeling. it is complete happiness caused by another person. ir is wanting to be with that person at all times and missing them when they are away. love is nothing more then wanting to make the person happy and to want to give the person the best life possible. it is to want to take all of the person's stress and pain away. it is to trust the person more than anyone else in the world. it is a connection between two people that should be unbreakable. it is never wanting to lose the person. it is willing to spent the rest of your life with the person. love is the greatest feeling ever.\n\ni don't feel like that did love any justice...

I'd say loving someone else is to act according to the best interest of the other person.\n\nTo be "in love" means to love someone, and have a strong desire for the other to love you back.

From what I can tell I've been in love twice.  Love is when you care for someone so much you would do anything to make then happy, even if that mean them not being with you.  It is a very vulnerable and self sacrificing emotion whch is why it only works when the other person feels the same.

To me, it is a recognition of the value of the person. \nFeeling that this person betters your life and helps you grow as a person and knowing you help them grow as a person too. When you can put the other's persons needs before your own and are willing to put any effort it takes into making it work. \nThere is a big difference between being in-love, loving someone and being in love with love. To be in love I believe you have to care more about the other person than yourself but someone whom you admire and respect who will help you improve and improve life's joys.
