but that is not what i am going after.

what does love mean to you ?

i am curious on the meanings everyone has and would like to know what you all think


i have searched this and havent found anything like it

love hurts, makes you happy or both.its unexplainable, just like any emotion we have and occurs at no particular moment

I think that the meaning of love differs a little bit for everyone. For me love is when you can't forget about a person no matter how hard you try, and you'll want to be with them no matter what. I also think that love goes pass the both mind and body, it's a feeling thats just there. And yeah love does hurt.

love I have found is nothing but pain if you can avoid it as best you can

1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

I think..
'cause love sure is used to a lot of things..
but at least in Anime..
its normally used not as a selfish thing.. not as a simple desire..
but something that grows..
bah thats what i think.. XD

and if you think love only hurts..
i know its hard to be able to love again..

but try to find TRUE love.. one that is on both giving their all to the other..
don't just trow it away cause you didn't do it right in the first times..

hehe.. but its still hard to accept... but belive.. XD

Depends on which type of love you're talking about... Family love, romantic love, material love, etc.

Familial love = Should be a given.
Romantic love = You'll know when you find it.
Material love = I love ramen.

A dumbfuck mate of mine would probably say it's nothing but our biological needs and a means to reproduce.

What a fucking romantic. I bet the girls will never leave him alone.

well it depends between people some may not believe or like it etc etc.
but ok proceeding to my definitions.
I have experienced 3 types of love
The so called love at first sight (in which i had this feeling of liking someone soo much at first glance)
Then the falling in love (when someone starts to know someone and as they keep knowing each other there is this feeling of wanting to be with that person)
and finally the one i believed to be the true love:
it's a feeling lke falling at first sight but so weak that it's hard to actually notice right away, as one gets to know that person that feeling of wanting to be with them grows steadily but doesn't stop, then the next thing i noticed is that i just wanted to be with that person no matter what and keep her happy, believing that if o lost her i would loose all that is important to me. Not only that but it felt that it was something eternal and i lost all interest in other girls and tried to become a better person for her. Its a really great feeling indeed.

The bad part is that she rejected me, and that's the part in which love hurts. When that happen i felt dead on the inside and the pain still haunts me even though its been quite some time ever since it happenned, i feel that i can no longer fall in love with someone anymore and it is a really painful thing to experience T_T

I don't know if there is such a thing as a general meaning of love, but I can tell you what I think that love is. For me, love doesn't necessarily mean that you feel attracted physically towards the person in cause, but that you feel that you admire them, you need them to be with you at all time, you think of them, dream of them, and generally that you can't get enough of them. It's kinda like some sort of worshipping... At least, that's the way I see things.

its anything you really want it to be...love for a person/object/idea. love is different depending on the person..
