Being able to make sacrifices for someone that you would never make for anyone else; being able to trust that person and understand them as best as you can, despite how they are viewed by other people; even if they hurt you more than anyone else can,but still seem to love them even with the little broken pieces of your heart; when you put upon yourself the responsibility of making that persons every single day more special than before so that by the end of each day you feel that you have done something worth it. For me, that's being in love

There are two types of love:
Conventional or "Ego" love - When you single out a person and say "I love you" and use them to fill the void that exists in people who are controlled by their ego. At first the person will make you feel special and and will temporarily fill that void, but as the void of the ego can never be filled, it will return, especially when the person starts to behave in a way your ego does not approve of and your ego will blame the other person and attack them. Suddenly love turns to hate. This is dysfunctional love but more common then the second type which is:
True love - Contains no wanting, no desire to change that person, complete acceptance of that person for who they are, not using that person as a means to bring significance to your life or to confirm to the ego that you exist.

Men have been debating this concept--male and female, young and old--for about ten thousand years.
Nobody ever been wholly wrong; they just missed the way to answer the question.
Love's concern is selfhood--self-assertion by each mind capable of self responsible, adult behavior living in the real world.
That's who's in love--two mentally separate, physical separate, value separate normative selves.
And therefore love means a strong and immediate drawing toward and admiration of and approval of some specific person; but that person also has to first represent a "categorical" set of values. (Anything else is attraction, only that.)
So lust might light on any target; but, in order to last and become love--an adult relationship between two individual trading value for value--two minds have to sign in effect a limited partnership agreement.
This contract says they wish to interact together for mutual emotional benefits, having exclusive sexual rights if they wish that, and acknowledging responsibility in all things which includes a percentile partnership of ownerships of previously and future created objects, moneies, etc., and a division of who does what and receives what in all things.
The desire for such a relationship-one in which the other person categorically represent your deepest values in a human, experience-able specific human form--that's love.
There are plenty of lesser relationships available, but that's the philosophical genuine article.

A chemical imbalance that makes days that much brighter,that makes you wake up in the morning with a fat smile on your face, that makes you think you would lie in front of a train to stop it if that person were tied to the railway. That makes you think you'd burn every inch of your hair folicles to make sure not a single hair is damaged on their head.Love is holding back someone hair when they are puking.Love is liking someone more than you like yourself

Staying together even when bad times occur, and you don't seem like you're in love. Marriages sometimes go up and down emotionally. You just have to stick it out through all of the storms of life. (except abusive ones).

Being in love means, to me, total acceptance of one another. Friendship, understanding, compassion. Accepting the other person, faults and all. Putting the relationship above the argument.

take it beyond man & woman connection, being in love is living
in the essence of pure creation and the essence of pure creation
living in you and you being in touch with that spirit.
God is love. God is invisable looking out but can be seen
forever looking in.

My definition of love is being selfish: treating your mate as though he or she is YOU; creating an atmosphere to open the door and treating each other as ONE. This is called righteous selfishness; We're all selfish one way or another, when we treat people as though they were us and accept them as who they are, that's righteous selfishness.

Being surrounded by "ten virgins" and a magical Billygoat. The virgins obey my every command, the billygoat protects me from stray gays.
