Love has many meanings...but it can be a scary thing because it takes a real commitment to keep it going..it is actually a verb and an action word...it is the fastest way to spritually grow

People that are truly in love commit to the other person without even thinking about it because it is naturally good. To make a conscious choice to commit is something short of real love. You shouldn't have to think about it. Couples that want to be together don't have to make a forced decision to commit, it just happens. when you make some forced commitment you can feel the tug, the hook that is planted and it's a drag on your mind. Women like to be noticed, but they have to learn that if they try to force a man to commit to them then it's really selfish and not the real thing, and it's only a matter of time before the resentment starts and the man just wants out. He feels like a bull being pulled around with a ring in his nose.
The best and genuinely good things happen effortlessly.

Most people misinterpret the meaning of love. They confuse love with emotion. Emotion is a part of love but it isnt love. Love IS NOT just about commitments. It's everything. It is being patient, kind, nice. It is having faith towards the other party. It is controlling the self whenever necessary. It is letting go any record of wrong. It doesnt feel envy or jealousy for what good things the other may have. As the Bible says: Love never fails.
Most of us know love partly. So we love not because we want to feel good and knowing love from a low level only, we always ended up disappointed and hurt.

When a couple begins a relationship they are truly not committed. They learn to be commited when they began to love one another more. People only like to be committed to things or people they truly love. It is hard to committ to someone you hardly even know thats why people generally date people who they were first friend with

I don't see that it is 'commitments' that are disliked but 'obligation' which is a form of bondage. A commitment is a situation where you have willingly agreed to do something for someone and do it until completion. Obligation is a situation where you have not agreed to do something directly for someone but as a result of prior commitments or relationship you are now expected to do until complete. One is relationship the other dependency.
Love is an ambiguous idea of the perfect relationship and is impossible to live up to. The term is usually used as a form of manipulation, placation or sentiment but really has no true symbolic meaning other then an example of the perfect relationship.
Everything we sense is in relationship to something else. Beyond our senses everything is one.

hmmm....commitment is there in every relationship, without commitment, one doesn't do justice to that relationship. if someone loves without even a tiny bit of commitment then i won't call that love, that would be more like "likeness", "attraction" etc etc.
and according to me, commitment isn't a thing to be disliked.
but i would hate to be tied up in a relationship, that happens when commitments are taken for granted.

Love is the act of considering the self interest of another as though it were your own.
It is what allows up to form couples, groups and nations.
We 'commit' to each others self interest because it increases our chance of survival.

'love' without commitment is selfish immature love and not worthy of the name.
It's no more then lust.
And I don't mean that love means marriage. It may mean proecting your partner from an unwanted pregnancy.
It may mean not starting a relationship with someone who you know cares for you more then you care for them, when you're only wanting pleasure.

Most people DO like commitment...The older you get, the more important that becomes.....the heart cannot help who it loves...you do not love by "choice"...you cannot "make" someone love you...

The two are not necessarily mutual, nor necessarily mutually exclusive- You can commit to something or someone without necessarily loving it/them.
