what is love??

Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. However, in different contexts, 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.

Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.

You will know when you are in love:-

1 When your heart aches when you are away from your partner.
2 When you see them and your knees turn to jelly.
3 When you see them or talk to them on the phone and you get butterflies in your stomach.
4 When you kiss them and you melt into their arms and you never want them to let go.

The list is endless and it affects everyone in different ways. But when the feeling is right YOU WILL KNOW. Good Luck in finding you true love ;o)

You know your in love when everything about him amazes you, from the way he always knows how to make you laugh, to the way he make your life worthwhile. whenever you're together, all your worries disappear. when everything around you gets blurry, and in an instant its just you and him.when this feeling inside you is the greatest feeling ever, and without him by your side your lost. when your love for each other is so strong, that you want it to last forever. When it's Love you know in your heart, body and soul that its Love... "Love is giving someone the ability to hurt you.... but trusting them not to" I hope I was of some help sweetie...just take it slow..don't rush it and enjoy every minute of it!!!! Good Luck

love is not an emotion like most people think it is an action you can show love by being honest treating the other person with respect and respecting yourself.

Love cannot be explained, it can only be experienced. Those who experience it are still unclear of what it is.
