Mmmm...I married someone from another class and I come from a poor background.  She grew up in the city and I grew up in the country and city.  She grew up with money and I didn't.  She had two parents and I had one and grew up mostly on welfare and while my mother sold crafts, did farm work and worked as a waitress on a part-time basis.

If someone loves you u would know it in your heart, mind, and soul. That is how u understand it. When u are loved you know u are loved.

Ok,  write out the alphabet and number each letter 1-26. (ex. A = 1, B=2, etc.) \n\nTRUE LOVE = 20+18+21+5+12+15+22+5 = 118%\n\nThis means that to find true love, you need to give it your all to find them. And once you do, do your best to make it last forever.

Trust.  You feel that you can share all your thoughts and feelings with that person.  You can talk about the evil things you did, your future dreams, and the things you are scared about.  You can trust that person with your deepest secrets.\n\nRespect.  You respect that person.  You care what they think because you value them and their opinions.\n\nYou enjoy spending time with them.  You are at ease and comfortable in their presence (that is... when there isn't a strong sexual tension ; )\n\nThere's probably a myriad of other factors... but that's what I think of when I think of love.

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 :)

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 don't know if that is measurable until the day you die.  Just a special little hope on that for your sake though.  If your in love and the person is right for you, cross your fingers and pray to God that person thinks the same about you.

Our natural obsession to believe. We want to believe in good.\nOur honest impressions deceived .. we end up doing wrong\nA whole amature apparition in one reflexion, why do we bother for anothers perfection? .. we try to be someone we are not to impress others, making them believe we are perfect\nA moments breath, a moments past. All that is left, eternally last. .. harsh words spoken leave deep emotional scars for a life time.\n When all we seek...should be what we believe, how do I say I love you deceased. .. if your inner self is cold and bitter how could you possibly love someone?

Wow, this is a hard one! Love is putting that persons needs ahead of yours! Love is feeling something so deep in your heart, that you are about to burst! Love is missing a smell, a look , a touch and never being able to replace it. Love is holding your grandchild for the first time. Love is crying when your child goes to school the first day and leaves you.Love is your cat sitting on your lap and purring so contently. Love is opening your heart to all the possibilities of another human being touching your life in even the smallest way. Love is giving with no expectations. Love is painful and lonely. Love is full of laughter and joy! Love is life and without it, nothing is worth living!

Telling someone isn't enough.  ^ (person above) You can tell anyone you love them and not mean it.  It's the actions that will tell you.  Try to look for the little things he does (or doesn't do) for you like compliments, noticing things, being attentive, etc.  and that will tell you.

In our society love seems to be whatever someone likes. The Bible calls what we call love - Lust. In the Bible love is not a feeling but a character quality the root of which is giving. People who give of themselves to meet the need of others are exercising love. The Bible never defines love, but it does describe it in 1 Corinthins 13. "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,   5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,   6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;   7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.   8 Love never fails"

Love is measured in time spent.  \n\nSpend time with her\nListen\nValidate her for who she is\nDon't analyze her\nBe very selective with criticism and with how you share it\nBut be honest and genuine\nTake a genuine interest in her interests\nBe open to experimenting with her world\nBut don’t sacrifice your own true self – that’s who she fell in love with\nBe her advocate\nGive a little more than you take\nMake sure (often) that she knows that she is not “number one” – she is THE ONLY ONE.\n\nOh, yeah, and chocolate!

Different peoples, Different point of view about love...\n\nfor me..When LOVE is pure.. its unconditional.. u always give and not expecting in return.. always give in some time u will think "i have nothing to give" but it always has feeling to give.. and forgive.. even how deep is the pain and hurt it will be okay.. the more u stand still no matter how trials come.. how u hold him/her when the storm is hitting u so bad.. the more u sacrifice that more u feel love in ur heart.. When there is too much burden and worries.. and ur eyes are full of tears.. and when he/she/hey came and hug u tight and tell "i love you, things will be okay" it seems like there is nothing to worry, feels like im in safe place.. im protected.. \n\nLove is the feeling that is hard to recognise at first and when u have it.. its difficult to let go..

love is selfless doing for others.  it is an action - the way you treat a person.\n\nlust is thinking about what that person can do for you and how they can make you feel
