Hey, I'm 16 years old and i was wondering what love is. I've heard that word used often, but don't understand the meaning. My friends and family say it alot, but i never say it myslef because it doesn't seem right, it kinda feels uncomfortable. I had pass boyfriends who said they loved me, but i knew i didn't love them back, it felt like i was fooling myself to believing i loved them. Right now im in a new relationship and still cloudy on the word "love". i ask my friends what it means, and they tell me the symptoms and i have them all but i some what don't feel complete. im i to young to be in love? can love change over time? in a month? a year? is there really such thing as " forever and ever"?
i see friends say forever and ever all the time, but they break up in a few months. are teenagers to young to be in love?
i love my friends and family, but i only say i love them when i really feel it. is that bad? i see my friends say they love their parents everyday. Help, please.

"Like", and "love" are often confused as cut from the same cloth. Actually it is not. Upon closer inspection you will see love is the silk to the likes satin.
Like: You may think of her all the time. May like her parsonality, her habbits. May even get frisky with her or bone her down in the bedroom. But you will not sell out for her. She is like a vacation home. You know you are not going to retire there. Or move your furniture there. Like can put up with a lot, but there is a breaking point where if they did it one more time, you are gon. Or if they did something bad enough, gone. You do nice things BUT, more so that you want to get them to like you and that is the catalyst to your politeness. Like: is like a lease, love is like ownership
Love: She makes you want to be better than you are, each day. You find that you are willing to sell out, to give up EVERYTHING you own and know to make sure her tomorrow is better than today, which was in turn, better than yesterday. You would give your life that she may life. You would go hungry that she might be fed. To go cold that she may stay warm. You do this because you really want her to be safe, protected and comfortable. Not just because you want her to like you. Love is you would cherish her even if she didn't love you back, and there was no quid pro quot. Love is like having a home you are eager to move your furniture into, and do not want to move out once you have it in there. Love endures no matter what transgression is done. The hurt maybe there, and you may never forget it. But you are willing to forgive or at least deal with it.
You know you are in love if you can imagine yourself with the other person through the worst. Dana Reeves had true love. even though Christopher was permanently injured early in her marriage she could not imagine not having him in her life. To love someone, they make you want to get up, to do more. To be more You want to do for them. Not to make them like you. Not to get anything form them. Just because you have so much loyalty, faith and devotion for them you want each day they breath to be better than the one they left yesterday. If you can think 25, 30, 45 years down the line and they are there, and you know you would still love them as you feel today. Them maybe you are in love. If you have any doubts, then you maybe are just in a prolonged deep form of like.

You can love in different ways: love your pet, love your new sweater, love your grandma. It means respect, that you would never do anything to hurt them. It means you have a special feeling for them, that you prefer them over others. It means you take extra care of them, to make them last, to make them happy. Now being 'in love' is totally different, almost like an obession to some degree... you think about them all the time, want to be with them all the time, you feel extra-emotional about them, they make you feel like heaven on earth. It is hard to explain because it is such an intense feeling. You will know it when it happens.

LOVE...ahhh...love is the best and worst thing in the world. It is one of the most powerful and influential emotion a person can possess. You will know when you love someone. It is something that cannot be explained, not fully anyway. But, it is...wonderful to be in love with someone, do not doubt that. Loving someone is knowing they love you, there are no doubts, and no insecurities. When dealing with love, and most people ignore this, first instinct is usually right. If you have question as to whether the other person loves you...well there is reason for that. As a modern society we have forgotten the most vital part of survival...INSTINGT, something you just know, you did not learn it...you will just know it, I promise.

Love is wonderful. It can be felt. God has gifted it to every living being whether humans or some other creatures. Love is in nature. It is in every particle. It is the root cause of existence. The cause which makes us live and think for living.

I guess you're still young or you're just like, not yet ready to love. And to love for real. Just don't say to a person that you love them if you don't really mean it and if you DON'T KNOW what the word LOVE really means. I don't really say it a lot but somehow I know it. :)

There will never be "forever and ever". Love's a flash which lasts for a very short period of time, after that period there is only pain and following suffering. Sooner or later. Sorry to be so selfish and straight but it's life be ready to face it.

Love can be conceived of as Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred.
Love is an affection. When you like somebody, you automatically feel it.
