Interestingly, this morning I was discussing the above topic with a girlfriend. We asked each other what love is.
When we were young, we considered love as an abstract feeling --- feeling that makes you skip your meals and sleep.
Now getting older, we both agreed that love at least should be a mutual care towards each other. Much more than care of course but this is enough to start the discussion...
More another time.

If in general you don't want to spend time with that person as a priority, then it's not love.

It feels like indigestion. Infact it could be indigestion...

Lol so many jaded cynics out there but this is a refreshing change from all the other depressing stuff here so here's my take.Love is about many things...trust,companionship,loyalty,togetherness,selflessness,understanding,consideration,passion,the little everyday things,the butterflies in the stomach when you see your partner but all the same intangible...and chemistry of course.Guess I'm one of the dieing breeds of true romantics.

Sorry, but isn't there a more appropriate site for abstract, teenagery threads like this?
Please support our advertisers:
Wow! I totally disagree!!! This really is not an abstract, teenagery thread at all. So many people are struggling with what love is everyday. We struggle with this into our adult lives and into old age (I'm not in my old age yet, but have seen cases). It's honestly a very mature and relevant thing to be talking about, and I honestly don't think there is one answer. It means different things to different people. Love should be defined in whatever way makes you and your partner and loved ones happy. :-)

Thames what's so abstract about a 'love' thread? There are too many sad stories about cheating about breakups about the depressing stories that have happened to your friends or experiences you may have had yourself.
I don't have rose tinted glasses on,just making a point that too many people out there are cynical and jaded and don't value the feeling of love as they should.
They say take the 'L' out of lover and it's 'over' and too many stories about this on this site.Time for some positive and happy stories.

Love is the closeness you feel about another person. Your heart jumps when saying him or her emerging from the corner. You care about him or her and will do everything within your power to make him or her happy.

That's why the cynics will tell you it's safer to love your dog csn008.When the dog jumps out at you from behind a corner you feel love and your heart jumps too but totally agree with you.
Love is a bond between two people that gets better over time and you develop such an understanding that you almost know what they are thinking.That's why it is so difficult in a break up situation that you have to give all that up.

"when you truly wish for a person's happiness even when it includes not being with you "
Of course this is true, but going beyond that, if you truly love someone, you would try to become the person the one you love would want to be with. To wish someone you love romantically to be happy separately from you, can only be the second best scenario. Preferably (if you truly love them) they would be happy together with you.

Very true, the poor man. I second you in that.
Love is being together and sharing that love.

Love is an action not just feeling

I'm not sure abt men...but from a females' point of view, love is all about wanting to give the best for that person you love. Love is the mushy feeling and glazy smiles just reading that person's messages. Love is when that someone is the last u thk abt before you sleep, and the first when you wake up in the morning. Love is when you get a big promotion and he is the first person you wanna share the good news with...
Love is many things...but many dont last.

I'm a strong believer in love. I was in a relationship with my husband for 10 years before we got married. Spent some of the 10 yeats in a long distance relationship too. We just celebrated our 4th anniversary and we were apart for about 10 months last year when I was doing my masters in Sydney and this year spend about 2 months apart when I started work in HK and he's now working in HK as well. I can safely say that I married my best friend. Well love is not just love. It's a verb like what Pumpkin and Glitter mentioned. What do you expect, someone to love you unconditionally without anything in return? And love is not letting someone treat you like a doormat. And some Sporeans may remember that a certain actor gave his liver to his then girlfriend who then dying from liver failure and cynics were saying, what a dumb thing to do for love and romantics were saying, honey, would you give me a piece of your liver. And I know that guy personally and I know that he gave his liver because he loves her enough that he'll do anything for her. Sometimes love can disappoint but isn't it all part of life? Love comes in different forms. Love exists amongst friends and if your friend disappoints you, are you going to say because of one friend,that you'll stop having friends? It's the same with love between a couple.
