The experience of love is the same, what changes are our preferences\nLove is an emotion that nearly everyone has experienced at some time in their life. One would think that with such a familiar concept, researchers would agree on what constitutes love and how to measure it. That has not been the case. Most research on love is based on a priori theoretical conceptualizations. It's quite possible that if a researcher starts out by defining love and then develops a measure to quantify that conceptualization, the results would tend to reflect this process. \nto attract a mate; 2) to retain the mate; 3) to reproduce; and 4) parental investment.  \n\nLove at first sight, based on physical attributes and is mostly physical arousal; Storge - loving affection that develops over time, is primarily affection and commitment; Ludos - a rover and collector of loves, very pluralistic. Secondary love styles: Mania - intense preoccupation with the loved one, intensly jealous and possessive, in need of constant reassurance of partner's love. Projects desired qualities on partner. Pragma - looking for a compatible partner; Agape - Selfless, caring without self interest. \nThree dimensional view The experience of love is a function of levels  intimacy, commitment and passion\nPassionate love is an intense state of longing for union with another. It has three components: 1) cognitive - intrusive preoccupation with the person, idealization of that person, and desire to know the person; 2) Emotional - Attraction/Sexual attraction, positive and negative feelings, longing for reciprocity, desire for union, physiological arousal; and 3) Behavioral - Actions to determine the other's feelings, studying the person, service to the person, maintaining physical closeness. Companionate love is the affection that we feel for those with whom our lives are deeply intertwined\nPassionate love is an intense state of longing for union with another.

Gary Chapman has a book called "The Five Love Languages". It talks about five ways to show love:\n\n1. Acts of service (doing helpful things).\n2. Gifts.\n3. Physical touch (hugs, kisses, etc).\n4. Words of affirmation ("I love you," compliments).\n5. Quality time (spending time together).

Umm true love, a big issue....\nPeople are from different kinds and different characters, love could exist for some as true love, and for others it could be just an illusion because of the type of person they are and love exists in many different forms, built on different things, like your love to a friend is different from your love to a family member or a gf or bf and so on... as for loving girls, there could be true love but very hard to exist 100% because true love means that if that person lost many things you love in you must still feel with love for him and that isnt correct for many people because some love for appearance, some for personality and so on.... and everything in a human beings change by time, the person you love will change in looks, personality and so on, and the idea of the ideal person you search to love will also change, so love is a very big and hard issue, but i hope that you will find the best and truest love to your heart :D

When you are in love:\n1- You spend most of the time walking in the air, and the person you would want to walk with...is That Particular One\n2- Your heart beats so hard when you think of him/her, and it even seems to jump out of your breast when you see them around.\n3- You dare not stare into his/her eyes, but you want to see them more and more often\n4- You begin to wonder how come they could so often cross or spin round your mind\n5- Kisses, hugs, warm embraces and sharing are what you do fantasize\n6- A noisy minute with other means nothing, a silent moment with them means the whole world\n7- Your heart aches a lil bit cuz of missin, and at the same time you feel so happy deep inside thinkin of them that it makes you smile to yourself\n8- ...

I suppose it would depend on what kind of friendship it is, and what type of Love you are referring to.  Sometimes friendship turns into a Loving relationship, which involves a great deal of intimacy on many levels, and other times it turns to Love without the intimacy.  For example, there is someone that I do Love, and it is my wife.  I also Love my children.  I have a friend whom I Love, and our relationship is more like a counselor type relationship where we counsel one another, and help one another.  The last two have different levels of intimacy, and different types of intimacy than the first one ... yet, I do give Love in each of those scenerios.\n\nWe are called to Love everyone, including out enemies.  So I would think that friendships come from Love, but not necessarily from intimacy.\n\nI hope that helps you.  Good luck.

Depends on what kind of love.  There is platonic love and romantic love.  I can love a friend deeply, but that doesn't mean I want to have a physical relationship with him/her.

You ask a loaded question and there is no one answer.\nLove is holding hands after being to together for hundreds of years. love is laughter. love is sharing. love is still being able to tickle each other after many years. Love is supportive, Love is resisting the temptation of the "lady" down the block. Love is not placing blame when no child is born out of the union. Love is cheering up your mate when sadness lurks by. Love is putting up with the mother-in -law just because. Love is, his caress. love is, his kiss on your neck. love is the curling of toes. Love is tender\n\n    LOVE DOES NOT HURT.

eyes that show his kind heart,lips that caress my lips,white teeth that nibble my ear,arms that embrace me tightly while penetrating me,softly speaking in my ear,slightly hairy chest and stomach tickling my skin. speaks intelligently but never demeaning. loves himself,life,and laughter. can do attitude. physically fit with average looks (or better looks is a bonus).financially secure, adventurous, likes resting his head on my stomach while watching t.v.. he sees the good i do in the world and wants to be part of my life. calm but with a bit of fighting Irish in him. likes to tie one on but not frequently. smells like freshly fallen leaves after a rain and the wind lifts that taste of nature right onto your tongue. must top and bottom. but most important of all is we must love each other.\n   my current partner doesn't posses any of these traits. he is simply made of plastic. is very sneaky and abusive.

There are two kinds of love.\n\nOne that makes you feel safe and secure, in which you may\n\nhave to give up some of who you are to obtain. And one in\n\nwhich you recognize yourself in the other. This kind of love\n\nyou need to give up nothing, but will recieve safety and\n\nsecurity because you're in your natural state. Which is love.

Honesty, humor, intelligence, compassion...\n\nTruthfully, I look for someone who, regardless of any romance, I'd want as one of my closest lifelong friends.  Someone who I feel completely safe being totally myself around but who, at the same time, I get an electric spark whenever I'm near them.
