Is" love" just a word we use to describe attachment?
956452
There is real love. I have been attached to or dependent on  people that I didn't necessarily love. I have called these experiences love out of desperation, but I have also felt true love for others. I just haven't often had it returned. I've had people swear that they did love me, but it was more need than anything--you can tell who does and does not love you by refusing to be a door mat. The ones who remain love you.

Ok....you can't define love as one thing.  Love is something that you feel towards someone or something.  But please do not get love confused with lust.

Well love is a very strong word and i have been in that situation so i no exactly how u feel.....ofcourse it can be love but i feel that it is more of an emotional attachment rather than a physical one...things can change wen u meet the person in real...It depends on how comfortable u are with the other person and if something is meant to be it is...no denying dat!

Love is a HUGE word. It implies very serious things. There is a tremendous difference between like and love. Love is very very exlusive, and very extreme. Example: We grow up learning we love our parents. It's hard for us to tell a girl we like that we consider her to be equal to the people who brought us onto this earth and have raised us our entire lives. To be honest, I have found that girls are equally hesitant to say it. Love is a big deal. The word should not be thrown around.

With loving actions.  Do something your loved one wants you to do for them.  Show that you appreciate them.  I sometimes believe that saying "I love you" is meaningless unless it's accompanied by an act of appreciation.  Appreciation=love!

Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. People in love are often considered to have "good" interpersonal chemistry.[1] Love is described as a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. In different contexts, however, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.

Love, growth, understanding, acceptance, friendship, companionship... feelings, trust, respect...these are all true meanings in relationships that we learn to develop and perfect. I hope after many trial and errors, we truly learn to succeed in a relationship with someone whose meanings match ours.

Love is a connection on a deeper level than friendship. It has a component that is committed and loyal. You love usually when you share values and attitudes. You love when you can disagree and still be respectful of the other person's opinions. Though I use it in reference to my old cat too. He liked being around me and being cuddly. The current cat  I'm just friendly with heh.

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.

what are trying to say?  is any one know that what is love?  i'm not sure what you are asking, but if you want to know what love is i can tell you.  love is an emotional connection that you share with a person.  it's how you show them how you feel about them through actions not words.

Love means different things to different people. I believe the term is tossed around in too many ways, to the point where it almost has no meaning anymore. I prefer to use "intimacy" or "attachment."\n\nEveryone gets sad. Yes, everyone you've ever met. Some people have sad feelings just once in a while, and others may have sad feelings pretty often. More than half of teenagers go through a sad period at least once a month and plenty of younger kids do, too. \n\nWhen you're in a sad mood, it may feel like it will last forever, but usually feelings of sadness don't last very long - a few hours or maybe a day or 2. A deeper, more intense kind of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression

Definitely not, we all have a first love, and more times than not this is not the person you end up with for the rest of your life.  Love like many other things in this world comes in many forms, from puppy love to the all time passionate love we see in romantic movies, but somewhere in between those two is real love.\n(Infatuation--Love--Obsession)

My friends and I were just talking about this last night...We have came to the conclusion that Love is a very strong word.  So many people today believe that they are in love, but love is to give unconditionally... love is putting someone elses needs before your own.  I have thought I was in love 2 times, I am now divorced with three kids and I can honestly say I have never loved anyone the way I love my children... If you can honestly say to your self that I would die for them  I mean being truthful to yourself and saying I would die for you... that's love... and I have never felt that way before.... and you don't have to be in love to be with someone...if you enjoy the company why say it's over... just enjoy your life  you only have one.

i believe we fall in love with people who make us feel good about our selves.. or compliment what we believe. it is joined by the word attraction.. liking looks ,smell ...conversation or mannerisms of someone. love is putting your needs before  my own. what i mean by that is not being used by you.. but an example would be like a mom not eating so the kids can have something in their stomachs.  a person in love sacrifices.. some things so the one the love can have a need fulfilled. hurting when the person you love hurts. if his or her feelings are hurt..or loses a job..etc. wanting the best for somone even if the best means it will happen without you. too many people get the attraction and the feeling good part and call it love. but when the looks change(person gains weight) or the person gives contructive criticism(you drink too much or you need to do more around the house) they call it quits and say i dont love u anymore. in actuality they never did love. love is not turned off like a faucet. people get lust ..infactuation and sexual attraction confused with love. love does not see wrinkles ..love doesnt compete.. or abuse.

Love\n\nLove is a feeling (emotional). \nThere is no exact "right" definition of love for everybody. \nLove involves feelings of romance and/or attraction. \nSex:\n\nSex is an event or act (physical). \nThere are different kinds of sex but all kinds of sex have some things in common. \nCan happen between a male and a female, between two females, between two males, or by one's self (mastur-bation)

No. Yet, there was an occasion when I came to realize that what I thought was love was not true love ... but I won't go into that here.\n\nI have very deep feelings about love, for love is the highest grace we mortals may ever know in this world and perhaps any other that may come. Thus, it is not permissible to be so cavalier as to bandy around those three words as if they were some mere convenient phrase, some shallow sentiment or-- perish the notion --- usurping that most wonderful expression for some self-serving gain.
