Oh love, such an amazing feeling. Do you believe in the thing called love? Have you ever felt it? Love at first sight? The one?
Let's talk about love guys.
Feels like forever since the last time I fell in love and I still can't forget how good it was.

I love lamp.

Love is overrated. When I want to get high and stupid I'll smoke lots of kind.

I'm so clearly superior to the vast majority of potential mates that even just arranging some sex is frustrating.

Idk...I dont think ive had a gf that ive truly 'loved'...just liked to make out and hang out with...

LMAO.

I know what love is.

Love is when your partner, who knows you've spent all day sorting your worldly possessions and moving into an apartment when you have a final the next morning and you can no longer see straight (and you're subconsciously convinced your eyeballs are bleeding), offers to call you in an hour to wake you up so you can take a nap. True love is when your partner, who also has a final the next morning and no study materials with them, will stay for twenty minutes so you can take a quick catnap.

Long? Yes. Hard to read? Probably.

So how do I know this? Well, two hours ago, I woke up from a twenty-minute nap.

Oh I'm jealous. I wish I had that.

Love is only temporary...


But herpes is forever.








Beware of girls named Michelle.


And the syphilis.

Love it just an acid trip and a lava lamp away...trust me

:(

I want that too...the hardest part is living with my parents for twenty-one years who have that, so it's like they're always teasing me with it. (Admittedly living with parents like that is probably far easier than living with parents who fight or are divorced or something, but that's not the point.)

I'm in love with your name.

*pinches self*

Long? Yes. Hard to read? Probably.

Not a whit of it. You have a partner who acts in your interests.

It's not necessarily "love." It might be what Kurt Vonnegut described as "being decent to each other."

Kurt said that that is often mistaken for love. Trust the Kurt.

No, I know in dealing with me at that point, there's a patience factor that goes well beyond simply being decent to each other. Not saying that can't be the case in other circumstances, but here it's definitely because he loves me.

What is love?

1) nothing more beautiful than the love between a man and a pie
2) I'd hazard at no what with being 18 (lets be realistic)
3) what if your blind?
4) erm...no I'd say there happens to be plenty of ones out there

Feels like forever since the last time I fell in love and I still can't forget how good it was.

I'm sorry but I'm just not ready for that kind of relationship right now :cool:

love doesn't exist...

love was just a word the french invented to humanize one of our most primal urges...

love was just a word the french invented to humanize one of our most primal urges...Then why isn't it a french word, eh?
C'est l'amour!

And in any case, love and lust (if that's the primal urge you mean) give different activation patterns in the brain. They are distinct physiological processes.

In the first 6 months its not Love its really "God im horney and thank god im getting laid and everything about the other person is great."

After the first year, its not love but more of an understanding that this mate doesnt drive you nearly as batshit crazy as your last 4 girlfriends did at this point and thats a good thing. So you stick with it.

After 18 months, its not love your feeling but pressure to get married. but she still seems to like you despite how much you fart and your hairy back and that pretty much amazes you so you stick with it and its really not so bad.

If youve gotten to this part and women doesnt exibit any signes of patented woman insanity you start to feel confident that "your woman isnt crazy" like all those other chicks and you start to think your really in Love. This is where you start to lower your guard and get into trouble.

After 2 years its time to walk the plank and if its not Love then you have to convince yourself that its Love cause crap your going to be married.

After your married, youve entered one of the most horrid legal and binding expensive agreements of all time that can be broken by the other party with no penalty whatsoever to herself by her screwing some random other guy at any time. Love is grand.

Interesting! Tell us more.

Is that timewarp, or what.

I. timewarped. you. BY 30 MINUTES!! W00t!

EDIT: Only every second post or page nav command goes through. Something tells me this server is going to fall over any minute.

Hey, this edit page is arranged differently. For one thing, I can now add a smilie (used to be only when the post was first done.) I think I will.Hour, actually.

I'll take HK-47 definition of love:
Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." ―HK-47

love is a notion created by florists and chocolateers in switzerland and lala land of gay skinheads and giant feys with wifebeaters and bad hair, and an chemical unbalance which culminates as vast conspiracy to make you feel like shit.

Love is a many splendid thing.

I've been in love 3 times. (Well, four if you count Iffy ;) :fluffle: )

Love is simultaneously the best and worst feeling you could possibly experience.

"Worse than the total agony of being in love?!" ~Love, Actually
"Love is touching souls, well surely you've touched mine." ~A Case of You (song)

My Dad says love is when you'd lay yourself down in front of an oncoming train for the other person.

Love is saying no to the puppy eyes, because they really shouldn't. Love is running away from work for 10 minutes to see your sister off to prom. Love is the little bit of us that is capable of greatness beyond measure. Love is feeling at home.

What is love?

And more importantly, what's love got to do with it?

Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Love is the process of becoming 4 foot 8 + 1/2 inches tall ?

I once loved, found out that I did 2 years after I lost it. Yay...

I believe in a thing called love!

I love lamp.

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

I love the sandwich I´m about to eat right now. Does that counts as love?

Do you believe in the thing called love?

I suppose.

Have you ever felt it?

After a fashion. Mostly for family and friends.

Love at first sight?

No such thing. If "love" means anything substantive, you fall in love with people, not sights. (Or, at least, the fact that you fall in love with the sight doesn't mean you fall in love with the person.)

The one?

If it were true, no one would ever fall in love. There are six billion people in the world; what are the chances that you would happen to live near your "one"?

Love is something that we're no strangers to.

I honestly don't believe it exists for me. Maybe for others, but I doubt for me. Then again, I have really low self-esteem, so I have trouble believing any girl could be attracted to me.

you are far too young to worry about that.

if you havent been in love by the time you are 40 you can get depressed about it.

And what you doing to change this?

Honestly, I'm too much of a lazy bastard to change my self-esteem problem. I try not to worry about it as much, but I just live, mostly.

I'm not actually depressed. I don't bother myself over the existence of a soulmate. Fairies don't exist, and do I bother myself over them?

You should really work on your self-esteem problem. Believe me it'll change your life for the better.

Don't worry sooner or later you'll fall in love and will be loved back. Once this happens you gonna change your mind.

Love? Love is entirely worthless.

Yes, I have been and am currently in love.
No, I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe in hormones at first sight. Love comes later.

At various points in my life I've thought I was "in love" and learned later that I was infatuated, entranced by the idea of love, or just plain crazy. It takes a long time, in my experience, to understand what love is, and I know I'm still learning daily. I've been with my bf for just shy of five years now, and our relationship, and my love for him, has grown and changed in many ways. I don't love him the same way I did when I first fell "madly" in love---but I love him just as much, more, in so many different ways.

Love should be able to stand up to any test. That doesn't mean love conquers all or any nonsense like that, just that, simply--if you really love someone, I don't think you stop. Even if they totally fuck you over, even if you hate them; you still love them, which is what hurts so much.

I honestly don't believe it exists for me. Maybe for others, but I doubt for me. Then again, I have really low self-esteem, so I have trouble believing any girl could be attracted to me.

I have the same issue. When I first met my current bf, I was instantly drawn to him but thought there was NO WAY he would be interested, because he's totally out of my league. Funny enough, he felt the same way about me. The lesson is to find attractive people who have just as fucked up self-esteem as you do. *nods*

Love should be able to stand up to any test.

Having recently come out of a 4 year relationship, I'd say this one's fairly important. In any relationship there's ups and downs, there's moments of doubt and tests of faith in that relationship.

People can overcome these for different reasons, some through denial, some through deep love but once the giddy heights of the first flush of love subside, it becomes about going through life as two people closely connected to each other.

The key thing is respect, that no matter the decisions your partner makes, respect for who they are remains. If you don't respect someone, you don't consider their feelings and that's a killer. Respect keeps you honest, open and, ultimately, equal.

For me, it may just be a break, a test we have to go through.

There's people I know who study this sort of thing and the one element they agree on is that when you talk to a couple and you see the slightest sign of disdain in either partner then it's simply over, it's beyond disrespect.

In the end, true love is really deep respect.

Hmm... is it when you can accept things about someone else and not pass harsh judgment upon them for their actions? Is it when you see the differences between you and them as something that adds variety and flavor into your life/ How about when you always look forward to seeing them regardless of how long, or how they look or feel?

Oh love, such an amazing feeling. Do you believe in the thing called love? Have you ever felt it? Love at first sight? The one?

1. what do you mean by love? the emotion ? then yes I believe it exist.

2. yes most certainly yes. the most recent one was an end that sounds like it was a made for Tv drama.
short i went away to work for the summer. She got in with new friends and became a druggie. I had to kick her and her friends out of my apartment because they had made my apartment a crack house. Her apartment was next door(but she had issues with her room mates). when the fall semester started i watched her destroy herself and fail out of school. I kept trying to save her to get her to wake up. She slept with a friend of mine then realized he wasn't a relationship type of guy then begged me to take her back, then two days later tried to sleep with him again (5 minutes after I went left the lets have our friends make peace get together.) what hurts is the most is she destroyed her self, every other love i had they were always better for it even if the love didn't work out.
--- Sorry little drunk and stuff gets on my chest, and screw it you don't know who i am anyways.

3. Love at first sight? No lust at first sight.

4. the one ? no love is just chemicals in the brain there is not difference internally between one love and another.


Feels like forever since the last time I fell in love and I still can't forget how good it was.
You are likely closer to love then you realize, it is the sudden absence that one really feels in regards to love. I bet there is someone now close to you and you don't even realize it.



Anyways I am off to drink myself totally numb.

Interesting! Tell us more.I saw it on a TV program, but I have managed to find a few links that say more about it

An excerpt from the last article:
Is it love -- or sex?

Scientists then wondered: Does a brain in love look much like a sexually stimulated brain? After all, we associate love and sex and sometimes confuse them.

The answer is: Brains in love and brains in lust don't look too much alike.

In studies when researchers showed erotic photos to people as they underwent brain scans, they found activity in the hypothalamus and amygdala areas of the brain. The hypothalamus controls drives like hunger and thirst and the amygdala handles arousal, among other things.

In the studies of people in love, "we didn't find activity in either," according to Dr. Fisher, an anthropologist and author of "Why We Love -- the Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love."

"We now have physiological data that suggests there are different brain systems for sex and love," says Dr. Fisher.

And more importantly, what's love got to do with it?
I just know that all you need is love.
Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.
:fluffle:
Love is something that we're no strangers to.
You know the rules, and so do I.

Ya, love is good. I've been in love for only a little while, but I've been in love before. Interesting thing the last one was, actually.

I fell in love really quickly (as I tend to do), but then after about a year I started to seriously lose respect for her. I just began feeling that she was a bad person, and more than that, I despised being in her company and dreaded even talking with her. I'm not sure who changed, but to the best of my ability I think it was both of us. I'd known her flaws long before, but I'd always accepted and embraced them. But then they became more pronounced, she became significantly more selfish, irresponsible, and mean-spirited, and I became more purile, expecting better things and holding her to a higher standard than I had ever before. It didn't mix. I fell out of love in a spectacular fashion. I miss the old her dearly, hell I'd probably still be with and in love with the old her, but I'm not sorry I left her.

As it is, I did what a true relationship should. I had a friend, then I fell in love with her and found out she'd liked me as long as she'd known me. It worked well. Been together a few months now. Still get butterflies when I see her, which is ALWAYS a good sign.

That is a brilliant note to end tonight's internet sojourn on. Thank you, monsier OP.

I have the same issue. When I first met my current bf, I was instantly drawn to him but thought there was NO WAY he would be interested, because he's totally out of my league. Funny enough, he felt the same way about me. The lesson is to find attractive people who have just as fucked up self-esteem as you do. *nods*

I'll remember that.

You should really work on your self-esteem problem. Believe me it'll change your life for the better.

Don't worry sooner or later you'll fall in love and will be loved back. Once this happens you gonna change your mind.

Probably will, but I'll just stick to being a cynical bastard for now. It's what I'm good at.
