Dunno.
It’s the most written about subject of songs I guess.
As an intangible thing it’s different for all of us too as it’s how we feel and how it makes us feel. I guess some things in common with the butterflies, those looks that you have with a person, the depth of feelings.
But you can never go out of your own body to see the effect or properly describe it once it hits |

Brain and body chemicals, essentially. They trigger the initial process.
.
That then gets finessed and directed according to the needs and desires of the individuals in a constant back and forth ebb-and-flow during the lifetime of their association. The latter is rarely "static" and always in a state of change. |

My nephew once asked me whether he may be in love with a new girlfriend. I just asked him whether he would give her one of his kidneys, that day, without hesitation if she needed it to survive. He said he wouldn't. I just said that when he met someone for whom he would, then he'd truly love her.

It's a feeling first but then it becomes a choice. It's an action. You choose to maintain.
The heart is a beautiful liability but love alone, that feeling isn't enough. You need to choose it and the person, every day to keep it going |

A feeling. That's when the moment you say goodbye is the moment you want to see them again. The first person you think of when you wake up and the last person you think of when you go to bed. Where every image you have of yourself is with the other person. |

Actually, being a live kidney donor is something I have researched quite a bit and I would be quite happy to donate one of my kidneys to a stranger to help give them a better quality of life. The only thing stopping me at the moment is the amount of time I would require off work before and after the operation. Definitely something I hope to follow through in the future

I think you get the odd exception Mrs girl.
Interesting though. I mean, I'm not the dictionary. Well, I think I should be... But... You know...
Originally, I was going to say "love is the feeling all the forum ladies have for me".
Bahahahahaha! I'm not ready for arguments this morning though. I have a headache after a long night. |

Love is….. the hardest thing to put into words. Poets and songwriters have tried for centuries, we like the songs and poems that resonate with our own interpretation of the feeling. And those with a good tune of course.
You don’t get to choose who pops up on your radar, but you do choose what actions to take with the people who do.
Love is the ultimate in liking. We tend to like people who are like us. To say “I like you” very often means “I am like you”. In a relationship you need similarities to build a foundation but differences to keep it exciting. When you have what seems to be the perfect balance, you feel love.
The love for your child or parent is not the same as the love for a partner of course. The physical pleasure one person can bring out in another certainly heightens the feeling of love.
My very poor attempt at a description.
Love is…..
The desire to protect
The desire to nurture
The desire to make happy
The desire spend time and the willingness to make time.
The desire to put that person before all others
The person you love is the person you can’t live without |

Hmmm, can't you just send me a load of abuse via PM or something? I'd accept that as an easy way out. |
