Love is what happens when one person meets another person's needs.... and everyone's needs are different so naturally some relationships won't work at all, or for very long, whereas others will work almost effortlessly.
When a person meets a certain need of yours it stimulates a postive chemical response in your brain drawing you closer to that person... and you eventually become literally addicted to them and we call this "love". If they stop producing that response, you lose intrest and fall "out of love".
So sometimes it is freidnship or common intrests, but other times it is physical, it just depends on which needs are more important to you so that when they are fullfilled they create the release of "feel good" chemicals in your brain that we know as love.

It is about two hearts beating as one. It is about feeling like you have known someone for a long time when you just meet and click. When you both have so much in common and you complete one another sentences. You would not hesitate to do anything for that person and they for you. When your mind wanders off thoughts of that person invade your thinking, you eat sleep and carry that person with you always when he/she is not around physically. You can talk to one another about anything and when that person is hurting you feel their pain. Sacrifices are made and when you do things for that person, it is done from the heart and not throwed in the person's face to remind them of all you have done. There is no physical, verbal or emotional abuse and when their is a dissagreement because there will be for all couples, you put your pride aside to work it out. Loving that person is effortless and does not drain your energy and the making up is the best part. When you make love there is so much chemistry that you don't have to pretend and you want to be there with that person and when you look into their eyes, that is all the turn on you will ever need and their voice becomes the music that soothes your soul enabling you to come together in a passionate embrace followed by an explosion of pleasure that surpasses any intimacy you have ever experienced.

I think that you have answered your question within your question... Love is a combination of all of the above things occuring at different points in any relationship that we have.. In order for the process to begin there has to be a spark (physical attraction) and the more we get to know that individual (shared interest) the more we like about them until our friendship has us caught up in Loves web.

I think it begins with physical attraction, then from there it goes to shared interests, then friendship. I think its all of those combined plus alot of other things, but you are on the right track.

It can start with any of what you mentioned. However once it has started...shared interests and friend ship are VERY important for it to get to the next level.
I mean its great to be with someone that is HOT.....but what do you do after? If you have no interests that you share...or you just cant "hang out" with that person....what have you really got?

All of the above you just wrote. You have got to have that before you can even begin the journey. Then you learn that there is so much to it all , that you can't begin to put it into words.

It's about all of that and more. My love is my best friend, my lover, we do things together and I am physically attracted to him.

Usually it starts with lust. That will likely turn to companionship and real friendship. Always keep the sex good though.
