to me, loving smart is to first know yourself, as best you can, then get to know the person,,,,, accept them for who they are(not who you want them to be, or think they have the potential to be ),,,,, love their individuality,,,,,, accept that while they can bring happiness and security and many things into your life,,,,,, you are responsible for developing yourself,,,,,, and should not be dependent of another person for your happiness,,,,,,, and be prepared,,, no matter how much you may love them,,,,,,, that if the relationship is negative for you,,,,,, you will need to love them from afar, and not be with them,,,,,,,, when i was younger,, i wasnt smart in love, i think i have improved

That is a tricky question but I am gonna try to give you the bst answer as possible. You know like they always say that love is blind right, I have heard it for century. When you love or when you are in love you really cannot see what is going on all you know is that you are in love. Loving smart means that you have to at least control your emotions and don't let the loved one control you or do whatever they wanna do to you.
Do I love smart? No I am still trying, because I am in love with my boyfriend therefore there are a lot things that I let him do and don't even realise it after while or when I see someone going through the same thing I have been through.
I think it's human, sometimes we let our feelings guide us to a path that we didn't even think existed. You just have to be strong and learn from your mistakes and aknowledge that we can make mistake and fix it also
I hope my answer help you
If you need more explanations I am here to help

I would say make sure the person you love can be your best friend. And make sure you realize that the person is someone you really want to love. I've heard so many stories about how girls "love" a guy, but when they won't give them sex, the guys up and leave. Now, is that love? True love isn't about the action. True love is about the deeper things. The action is just an added bonus. Be smart, really know the person. Make sure you can hang out for hours, and not having to be making out the whole time. Make sure you can have a good, meaningful conversation. If it's about the action, you won't learn about each other and you're "love" with stop to grow. But making sure it's about the deeper things, you'll keep learning things about each other, and your love for each other will grow.

You can love "smart" because there are characteristics to True Love.
In True Love, you (1) extend yourself for your own growth and /or another's growth, and (2) you give without expecting to receive in return.
True Love is disciplined: you don't stray according to your whims or emotions. Sure, we have emotions and sometimes we feel like we need time alone, but it doesn't mean you have to give up on a person, on your relationship, on something you're working on, etc. In True Love, you see the value of working at something worthwhile: finishing school, getting extra training, managing your schedule to make things work out. In True Love, we never think of domination, vengeance, etc. which come from feelings and not disciplined love.
What this all means is that the Mind and the Heart work together, in the spirit of True Love, to help us act in the best way possible in life, and we reap all the rewards of acting in that manner.
P.S., you can also love your neighbor (co-workers included) in this way: helping those you encounter who need help, forgetting about "getting back at that guy who cut [me] off", not trying to "get ahead" or rip someone off, and so on. It's not limited to intimate relationships.

I've loved someone very much and went through the relationship guided by my heart - and that got me nothing but trouble. The saying "love is blind" is very true. You have to use your head, too. You have to keep your eyes open and be aware of everything happening in your relationship. Otherwise, you're doomed.

There is no "smart" when you're truly in love. Because when you're truly in love, your heart takes over and your brains taken back seat. Hope that answered your question.

Yes! For a long time I only looked at the outside (and the inside was not good for me), then I looked and appreciated the inside and the love was so much deeper than I ever felt!!!:)
