The opposite of love is indifference.
My god, someone posted the same anser as me. How scary someone thinks as I do. Word for word, what are the odds of that?

Most people are gonna say that the opposite of love is indifference, or hate, but I say it's more complex, but more simple-sounding than that. The opposite of love is this: unlove. It's when you know for the first time that the one you thought you would be with for eternity will always be in your heart, but you can't commit yourself to him anymore because it hurts more than you knew possible. It's that feeling when you walk away and care more than you want to, but already realize that once you're gone you won't look back. Unlove is when you realize that for a little while, no one's gonna be there for you, and you don't have to be unhappy, but you won't be anywhere near as happy as you were when you had him.
Love is simply the opposite of that, but so much more...
Love is undefined.

Love is when you really, truly care for someone or something. I'm guessing the opposite of love is the absence of it therefore that would be indifference. (To hate something is still to invest energy and to care about the outcome, even though it may be in a negative way).

love has many definitions and means something different to everyone; Apathy is the opposite of love, to not care.

To love is to care deeply for someone or something. The opposite of love is indifference, you don't care at all.

I cant define it but i know it when i feel it. The opposite of love is not hate - it is apathy.
