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.

It is something that can't be defined. It comes in our deep heart without our permission. It is something you feel when you have some special care & affection towards somebody. Hence, just love, love & love and try to find out the answer by yourself. It is not finished . Actually , there are no words to define love.

Love is that kind of thing that can not be touched. Only you can feel it. It makes you blind. There are various types of love. Like child love their mother and father and a man love a woman. That are diffirence.

Love is a strong emotion that someone feels for another person, and when two people really LOVE each other means that this feeling is strong enough for a couple to be together and love each other happily.

I think love is an emotion when you care about someone SO MUCH that you are willing to put their needs ahead of your own, ya know, putting them first!

and it's doing those "little things" for them that genuinely show real care, besides being their Friend in every way!

And, love is that warm and cozy feeling that makes you feel good inside!

Love is when you can picture yourself as an old person with the person your in love with and still love them. Love makes you do crazy stupid things.

Besides "God" , It is never one feeling. It can be the feeling you get from holding your first child. Warm, Wonderfull, Whole. Or when you meet that special person and he makes your heart flutter after many, many years. Also it is forgiving a person that offended you, Unconditional love that is.
