its well somrthing i cant explain its its Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things. \n\noptimusprimedoom@yahoo.co.in

I LOVE YOU,\n\nwell it is more of the way how you say it. A dry I love you bares no sense or meaning at all. But if said with in from your heart and with true love and with intimacy and passion, woman let me tell you this- It will swipe you off your feet-yep it is that dam-good

Actually love is both hard and easy. Love is hard when the person you love doesnt love you back. Love is also hard when the person you love is doing things that hurts your feelings, and if the person you love wants to leave you. Love is easy when the person you love, loves you back, your relationship is going good, and if you know what you got is real.

True 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.

love is a choice... with that choice comes respect and honesty...  if you are already fighting there's no love.  It's easy to say the word love.  but not easy to practice it. love is measured in it's practice not in the ability to say the word.  move on.  he's more trouble than he's worth.

Love is a strong word. It is something that shout not be played with. It is something that is shared between two objects of affection. It is something that should be chairished for life. It is something that should not be taken for granite. It is something that should be there one day and not gone the next. Love is a very powerful word.

It means total honesty, trust, compassion, willing to compromise, have similar interests and goals yet have your own identity. It means being best friends and be willing to stick it out the the most awful times which you will run into.  There is a fine line between love and hate and at times you may feel you hate your mate but it usually comes from them doing something to either hurt you or frustrate you. Marriage is hard. You have to work at it every day. It's almost like a flower. If you don't nourish it every day it will just wither and go away.

I just answered a similar question. Many people believe "love" is difficult to define completely. I am one of those people. However, I do think these three attributes are *essential* to the meaning of love:\n\n* Love requires that one must be willing to make great sacrifices for the person.\n* Love cannot be established without deep familiarity with a person (which *can* be gained quickly).\n* Love must inspire a person to be better than they currently are.\n\nMany people who claim they are in love really are not. It is common for immature people to say they are in love because they have not had enough of the hard-earned experience understanding their emotions which is required to recognize the difference between love and infatuation.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.\nTrue love is big but it'll come.. just be patient coz the reward is ... magic.

I can't remember where the quote is from, but I agree with it entirely.  It means "no holds barred", in a way, and I find it true in love and war.  It's sad to say that's true in love, but, experience tells me it is true, and our culture supports it entirely.  Our international bodies try to make it untrue in war, such as in the Geneva Convention, but, war is hell everything's "fair" in hell, so . . ..  God Bless you.

love means many different things to many different people. Love to me means being totally comfertable around someone, they are your best friend and you can trust them with anything, any secret. You'll go to great extent to do what needs to be done for them, youll do anything for them also! love is an anwesome feeling but love sucks sometimes also if you dont play right or some one hurts you love is also a feeling that you know when it is its un describable

Pain. When you always fight or you're far away from each other. Most people think that love conquers the pain no matter how hard it is but the truth is, Pain takes away the Love no matter how great it is.

To me it means that you have a very good personality that someone just adores, and it is so easy to love you. I think that is great if someone told YOU that!!!!!

Well love is very complex and confusing, but love is gentle and kind. I said that to say that some days love is gonna live up to every aspect of the word but some days its gonna be a rocky road filled with emotional roller coasters. Just know that even though sometimes he may act out because he has had a bad day it doesn't mean that he loves you any less. Be there for him and comfort him, but don't be no fool,lol.

Maybe what she means is a man who has a mind of his own, is opiniated, can take her personality and thus she assumes or has met guys who couldn't take her personality or her intensity, thus she wants a man who can "challenge" her, make her work for it, make her feel like she is making an effort to win his affection or to be good friends with him?\n\nPerhaps she's looking for a man who is self-disciplined and 'challenging', someone strong-minded, someone whom she feels is her equal, thus like a challenge because she's met many weak-minded men?\nThere are many reasons, but if she meant not sexually these are some I can come up with.

Love to me means a feeling that is so strong that it can make even the most stubborn people appologize.  It makes your heart skip a beat when you think about that special person.  Its the feeling of not getting enough sleep at night because you are still smiling and on a high from being with that person.  Love is also being able to talk to that person for hours and never getting bored.  Knowing how the person feels about something and working to make the other persons life better.  Its putting all of their wants and needs infront of your own.  I know its cliche but if you are in love than you know it.  Because you want to be with that person every second of everyday not because of the physical but because of how you feel when your around him/her.  Its deffinitly emotional and its not that easy to tell the two apart.
