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.

Love is nothing but an internal emotion of human being , directly coming out from the abysmal depth of human's mind.The person whom u can feel, whom u can see in the drkness, in ur happy moments who comes to ur mind first, in ur sadness with whom u want 2 share ur emotiom , whom u can find everywhere in ur kingdom of mind , is ur lover (without him everything is gloomy, shabby, meaningless ,worthless, static). Just close ur eyes , the person whom u can see is nothing but ur ever desired sweet love

This is one tough question to answer. Falling in love is easy. Falling out of love is painful

falling in love, when it is true, is a magical experience of everyone's life. When we love each other, we care for each other. We change totally when we fall in love, Love makes us love everything, the nature, the flowers, the colours, the rain.
We find everything going right when we are in love.
LOVE IS DIVINE.

Scientists r researching on this. One has proved that it is the space between nose & lips that cause attraction in first sight. $ me it is contours of bossoms & bottoms, eyes, face & response.
Basically u must like some thing in other & then if he/she also like some thing in u it starts. If God gives u opportunity2 meet again & again then it ends in sex if u r of oppo sex.
Also some thing who has served u gets ur love like some old book. Some thing who loved u also gets ur love like ur dog.

love is a feeling produced by a mix of certain chemicals in your brain. Love is great because they're are some pretty great chemicals that are being released in your body during it.
