Love is one of the most confusing of feelings. What some people call “love” may be possessiveness, or simple desire, or some other lesser emotion.
According to Buddhism, there are four elements of true love. Read what this wise teacher has to say, and find out if what you feel is true love, here:
Here are the four aspects of true love.
1. Loving-kindness. Loving-kindness is not only the desire to make someone happy, to bring joy to a beloved person, it is the ability to bring joy and happiness to the person you love, because even if your intention is to love this person, your love might make him or her suffer. To be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice deep looking toward the person you love. Because if you do not understand this person, you cannot love properly.
2. Compassion. This is not only the desire to ease the pain of another person, but the ability to do so. You must practice deep looking in order to gain a good understanding of the nature of the suffering of this person, in order to be able to help him or her to change.
3. Joy If there is no joy in love, it is not true love. If you are suffering all the time, if you cry all the time, and if you make the person you love cry, this is not really love--it is even the opposite. If there is no joy in your love, you can be sure that it is not true love.
4. Freedom. In true love, you attain freedom. When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love. If the opposite is true, it is not true love. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free, not only outside but also inside. “Dear one, do you have enough space in your heart and all around you?” This is an intelligent question for testing whether your love is something real.

true love is when all the two couple involved can not keep away from each other for longer than say 2 years. you won,t want to hurt each other,s feelings, you have time for each other, you respect each other,s privacy, you are honest and communicate very well with each other, you can argue, laugh, and cry together without the need for other,s to interfer between the two of you. you share all your friends and really enjoy each other,s company. in a true love you really feels the need to enjoy each other, the music, the food, the interest, the stories, the sleeping patterns, the likes and dislikes, etc.your minds go along with each other as time goes by, there is a lot of caring there, a lot of love giving and so on.

I think love is wanting to be close to the person. Sometimes love is sacrificing being close to a person so as not to rock their boat in life. Love when it happens is so wonderful, but as we all know can also bring sadness too . But if the right person, the one you really love, loves you then you have everything !!
And no matter how old we are - we all wish for that in our life time!!

it's a big pain in the bum,
na honestly it's a chemical reaction that takes place in the brain that's why it really screws with your head, but trust me no amount of love is worth killing yourself over, although you can think it. but yes you want to be close to that person you feel you can't live without that person and when that love is taken away you do just want to curl up and die, but you can move on and wait for the sparks to fly again with another chemical reation.
it's all good fun

Yes it is all of those things when you feel so in touch with someone that it hurts when your apart for long when all you can do is think about the time when you will be back together true love means different things for everyone only your heart knows if its right

A soul mate is a step beyond true love. True love is a step beyond love. Love is a step beyond infatuation. Infatuation is a step beyond attraction. It seems to me that “crush” is the slang term for infatuation. Liking seems to be a separate issue from love, infatuation, and/or attraction but is very important to true love and soul mates. It seems that people can be in love without liking each other very much. But, in true love one likes the other person and wants only the best for them in addition to being in love. The problem is that true love can be one way; someone can truly love another who does not reciprocate that love. I think being soul mates is the expression of reciprocal true love for each other plus a little extra. What is the little extra? The little extra is time and effort. Whether someone is your soul mate can only be discovered through experience. If you continue to love, and like, and want the best for someone over time that is true love and, if that experience is mutual, then you might be soul mates. If you see each other’s differences and quirks as a contribution to the relationship and not something to be changed in each other, then you might be soul mates. If you are willing to fill each other’s gaps just because you want the best for your partner, and for the sake of the relationship itself, and not for some personal advantage, then you might be soul mates. True love is something you can experience directly but it is possible to recognize your soul mate only in looking back over time. You can know true love in the moment. However, recognizing your soul mate is an “ah-ha” experience based on long experience. You realize that after all this time of truly loving, and being loved, and working so hard to make a relationship work that you have found a soul mate. Every couple needs to decide how long that time needs to be for themselves. But, with true love you can decide for yourself. Does this make sense?

Love is when you u are willing to do anything for that person, sacrifice can be in that, Like i have this friend i love, im willing to do anything for her, i sacrifice my ego and everything, i am sort of a jealous person but for her i am willing to swallow my pride, when i am with her im happy all the time smiling from ear to ear, she make me happy and everything we are going through a rough patch and i havent been happy since, all i want her to do is be happy, I want to be the one that makes her happy but if its not me i just want her to happy. that love to me, i still get the upset stomach feeling when im around her.

genuine love is variety of a ghost, everybody talks about it yet few have honestly considered it. yet i my chum have considered it, i have considered it come from myself. genuine love is genuine, that is authentic to people that trust it. genuine love is something you do by determination, not something you "fall into." you're precisely as a lot in love with someone as you artwork at. Love is even as, by your human being loose will, you seek for all the best for someone, and seek for to grant and make a contribution into that existence as a lot as you may. the purely way for like to very last an total life is that you'll make it artwork, sometime (now and again one second) at a time. Love isn't magic; you should artwork at it. you settle on if it lasts, and it may. yet you may not keep in mind that, Love isn't meant to be understood, its like a language spoken by everybody, yet understood by way of your heart. i desire that you do locate it sometime, it may not look genuine now, yet then you've by no potential had a gf.

I think it's when you find the one person, that you have everything in common with, and you and that person get along so well,and you cant,live with out,and you cant stop thinking about,also when you are willing to devote all of yourself to that one person.
