WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF L-O-V-E

MANY SAY THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE DEFINITION OF LOVE IS.. BUT FEW HAVE REALLY FELT IT... IF YOU FELT LOVE BEFORE WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?

^^^
I agree. Few have felt it and few know what it means.

What does it mean, you ask?
I've been dating my girlfriend for two years and we're happily engaged and I can confidently say: You Cannot Explain [True] Love.
There are no words to explain such a feeling.

Love is utterly complicated. I think it is a product of what we believe and what we feel. I believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to describe and everytime I think I've described how I feel about love, I change my mind. Sometimes I think it's this difficult-to-achieve emotion and i agree with sheena and think "few have felt it and few know what it means" but then I think...who is ANYBODY to say that someone has not felt love? I'm torn.

There's a lot of definitions for love.
every love somebody feels is different, whether it be for social acceptance or true, you can't define what 'love' is, because we all feel it differently.
you may think family love is the same for everybody too, but it's not. every love felt is different.
you can rely on somebody, you can love what someone is like, you can love them for them, you can love them as a necessity or just as a friend, your love can grow obsessive and possessive, your love can make you do things you'd never dream of doing without that love, it can make you more daring and willing to sabotage or give up things you've once relied on, love can make you do crazy things or anything for the person you love, but love can never be fully described as one definition, because there are endless ways to describe it.

I believe love cant be described because the feeling you get is so greatful words cant explain it

First off love is not a feeling, its a structure used to create a relationship, but i believe that there is no true definition 4 love, cuz im in love right now..... and im happy...... XD

Lol I love how you just said "first off love is not a feeling", very matter-of-fact, and then you go on to state that there is no true definition for love. LOL. Anyways good for you for being in love! :D congrats

What Bob said lol. Love to me is painful and full of heartbreak. I wish it wasn't but it is and I wish I never knew what it felt like.

Like a lot of the people above me has said you really can't describe love let alone true love =P I have to say though that when your in love and really wanting to get to know the real person underneath you don't love them because you think that their flawless, you love them because of their flaws, those flaws are what makes them special =) I'd have to say though that if I had to describe it I'd say that love is the wind beneath your wings and what gives you hope each morning to make it through the day, love is that wonderful feeling that you can be yourself and just feel...free lol

There is no real definition, you cannot describe it, but you see it when you look in their eyes.

It's whatever you want it to be.

My definition of love toward friends and family is were i dont wanna be without them and id do anything to spend another day with them. But my defintion of love toward a man/woman in a relationship..well, im pretty sure i used to feel it, and when i tryed to explain it, i couldnt. The only word in the english lauguage was 'unexplainable'. But i don't really believe in that kind of love anymore..

I think love is like the air, its always tere, everywhere, jus becauase it surrounds you doesnt mean you know its there, love doesn't hurt you and it never goes away, thats just people, because love is forever and has no direction, its not a force or a feeling it just is because it always has been

Love is what you make of it, not what you think of it. Love is what you feel, not what you see. Love is something that you share among another, not just towards.(Other words, love isn't something you just feel toward one person it's something you AND someone feel togheter) I don't think there is any other word but "mysterious" to describe love. Mysterious ways can't be explained, just felt, at the same time understood. Love won't confuse you when it's real. People aren't understanding that hwne you're in love, you won't be confused, you'll have all the knowledge you need to know on what to do next.
Love also has it's ups and downs but I do agree with was Bob said. I have to add to that. Salt maybe pourn in, but soon will be cleansed and healed at the end of the day. Everyone who's in love has faught, but love will always make everything okay again.

P-a-i-n

Colby has a good point thats how i feel about this one girl.. thats y i have trouble describing it because words cannot express it!

I've never felt Love before, but I have a very strong opinion about it.

I think Love is where you want to protect someone with all your heart and watch over them. Where you can honestly say "I was born so that I could be with this person".

Basically, you want to be surgically attatched to their hip :p

I still think love is something you cant describe....

Exactly.... it cant be, because people have different veiws... and i mean, its something we dont understand

True love is...
True love isn't something that you can put into words, for words do no justice to the feeling you have for another person whom you TRULY love. True love takes every bit of your heart and soul. True love conquers all troubles and pitfalls. True love isn't something you find, it is something that grows only when fed from your soul. True love is more than wanting the best for someone, it is when someone brings out the best in you, and makes you a better person for it. True love goes to the ends of the Earth just to make that person smile. You don't give true love, true love gives to you the greatest gift you could ever know, a warmth and happiness that lasts a lifetime. And best of all, true love never, ever ends. That's what I think.

I think it means you really like someone a lot.

Love is pain, and we need pain to feel alive.

The answer lies within your heart
There are no words to describe it, but even though love does cause pain, the feeling is worth it in the first place- or at least i think so.

Lust over volumes eternal.

Well first there are different kidns of love. The love that a mother has for her child is the greatest love of all, but is different then the love she has for her husband. There is no definition so how can you say not very many people have felt it? I think love is where you put the other person's happiness as top priority, and they put your happiness has their top priority, so neither of you is left out.

In a way love can be undescribable, depending on how deep it is. Love is when you care for someone so much that you would do anything for them, die for them. You want to spend FOREVER with that person, no matter what it takes . . .

What does it mean? well i've dated a few guys...my longest relationship was 3 years and i was in love, and i've been with my current boyfriend for over a year and it's not something you can't explain. you just know when you know. it's when you accept the little things about the other person...like the'r bad habits and you're okay with them.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. Love never fails.

This goes for all relationships.

Someone here said pain....and that's exactly right.

Difficulty in simplicity (sp)
inother words somthing that u just naturally feel, its complex but simple at the same time....
