it's an emotion and feeling towards some people.not just man and woman.you love your family and you love god or your friends.a mixture of worry careens and sympathy for some people.that's what i think.and god knows better.

Love is the giving of oneself to nuture and benefit someone else without expecting anything in return except the beauty of the growth of the beloved.
True love is very rare indeed, as my nice friend and I just dicussed last night the only true love is from mother nature, (its just my opinion that all the energy is and all around us "mother nature" is just an aspect of one collective whole which is called the One God) the only thing that gives us life and food and doesn't expect anything back.

Love is a great message which can xpressed without speaking but by action. I think even rich people who r really rich r in a great need of love and friendship. (I am not talking aout the love between a boy and a gal but unoversal love).

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

sometimes to answer a question the best way to answer is in the abstract insteade of tellin ou what love is I will tell you what its not. Love is not self serving g ,though Love should also serve its self. some one is not fit to love others if they first have not come to love themselves. so love is the giving of oneself and enrgies to another in a way that one would like to be given love to oneself. so love in a nut shell is like a river and the ocean is is the object of love. the ocean cannot exist without rivers and rivers canot exist with out oceans...........mmmmmmmmmm think about that

You are going to get a huge number of answers. To me love is when I really share part of myself with another and they in some way reciprocate. I love a lot of people.
My wife is my best friend. My daughter is very much like me and shares a lot of my points of view on life. My son is a wonderful gentle soul. I have friends who really share themselves with me. All of this is love.

Love is alot of things i think.
i read that its a hormonal change that results in a feeling of lust.
but i think that love is more like this feeling two people have when they know they wont get bored waking up to the same face every morning.
