Um, no, that's co-dependence.
Love is when you care more for the other person than yourself. Love is -- or should be -- unconditional. We accept those we love for who and what they are.
We are responsible for our own happiness. Looking for other people to make you happy is the short route to unhappiness. No one can make you love yourself, you either do or you don't. If you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else either. It has little to do with ego, it has to do with self-acceptance, self-esteem and being comfortable in your own skin. Self-love is not Narcissism (which is self-obsession). Without self-acceptance and self-love there can be no reaching out to others, because feelings of unworthiness will constantly get in the way of trust and acceptance of others.
Unfortunately, religion teaches people they are unworthy. Too bad feeling good about yourself is seen as sinful, because if you feel good about yourself, you don't need gods.

No. That's Fear when you are depending on others.
I also believe love doesn't depend on others. Love, unlike other emotions, is self-sustaining. You can love others who don't even love you. Take anger for example, Anger needs others to get stronger. When you are angry, it's usually because someone has pushed you to that point. You can love without being loved. People love being alone. You can still love others who've done them wrong.

We should not depend on someone else to make us happy.
Love does depend on having someone to give your love.
Love does depend on someone giving their love to you.
Happiness is not something you receive... it's an inside job.
One can love and be happy about persons, places, and things.
It is what we think, and that affects our emotions and feelings.
We could say a person can be as happy as they make up their minds to be.
WARNING... hate and anger work the same way!

No. It's a feeling you get inside. And the people you feel it for, are more important to you than anything else in the world. Their happiness and well being are the most important to you. Don't really know how to explain it sho nuff

No.
Love is the feeling you get when you realize that you can't possibly live without someone.......My husband does make me happy, as well as my kids. But the happiness is an added benefit. I don't depend on them to make me feel happy. I can do things myself to make ME happy. Sometimes they make me angry, but I still love them.
It's not like "I'm bored....make me happy!"

No; love is caring more about someone else's welfare than about your own. However, it does have the side effect of making you need them to be happy yourself.

I think love is the realization of how important it is to treat others as you want to be treated. The experience of the harmony doing the right thing exudes within that brings cascading tears of joy. Love is the knowledge that everyone's essence is love and there is nothing to be afraid of. Love is truth. Love is you and me and all creation.

No that is something called dependent Obssesion. Love is when you don't have to depend on anyone to make you happy...you just are. Your not in love if you have to questioin whether you are or not.

I've always thought of love as the feeling you get when you are always happy because that person is in your life. For me love is the bond between people that makes them part of we, instead of part of them.

Love is liberating and freeing...also it comes from within.
What you asked is not liberating or freeing nor comes from within...it is not love.
