Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more
What is love?
How do you know when you are/falling in it? Have you ever been in love? Do you believe in "the one"? |
For a while in my childhood I was like most, often attracted to those who are pretty and nice. A while ago I had a dream of such a crush, and she came to me in tattered dress and appearance; she wasn't pretty. After waking up I reflected and saw how shallow and dull her personality was, and at that point I completely moved on from her. Not long after I found someone right here on tPC who is an incredibly smart and good-hearted person that has some interests that are rather rare in a girl, and I've made it my obligation to take care of her, ensuring she's alright (she really does need it). At this point I'm tied to her to the point of no return, and I love her too much anyway to let go of her regardless. To me, what I have now is real love… not the instinctual lust I had for some girl a year ago. :3

There's two kinds of love: romantic love and platonic love. The latter is very common. The former is nearly non-existent. Well, not true love, anyway.

I can't really explain what love is. It's just so hard to explain it without being some love-struck fool who probably has no idea what she's going about.
I do believe in love at first sight though. I am also dating 'the one', so I believe in that as well. For me, I realized it when fate brought me and him back together again. I've been dating him for more than half a year. He's very accepting of me, even my disabilities as well. Not once does he ever judge me, even for a second. I love him more than life itself. <3 To me, I guess love is when you find that one person who accepts you for your flaws, especially when they two have flaws as well. We both accept each other as the other is, regardless of what those flaws are. |
I fall for people quite easily, but just one time, I actually had butterflies in my stomach when I thought of this person, there was a physical almost pain in my gut. It's kinda silly for me to claim I loved someone when I literally never act on my feelings. But if that's not what love feels like then I'm really interested to see what it does feel like.
|
Oh god, I fall for people near instantly. As soon as I see a pretty face, I've got to have it. I've only been really deep in it a few times, one of which actually landed me in a relationship. Usually I start obsessing about the person in question, which is basically my only way of knowing. I'd just do nothing but think of them :p
|
I don't think I was ever truly in love I think in truth something came my way that was what I had been waiting for and so I clung to it and ignored everything about it that was wrong. I guess I was just so convinced that no one else would ever take the time to get to know me and like me so I was afraid to lose them and be alone for what I saw as forever lol. So I pretty much let them do whatever and have the say in everything and just pretty much listened to them and never really said how I truly felt about anything.
After it ended I realized that way of thinking was so wrong. Why I ever changed myself for someone is beyond me now. I never have since and I've been much happier. Even though there are times when I really am down on myself I know I deserve someone who wants me for me 100% and I can be completely myself with them. I also have come to realize you have to learn to be by yourself first before you can be with someone else. I wanted someone in my life because I thought I needed them. I thought I was incapable of doing things myself or to be happy myself. But you can't depend on someone else for your own happiness, you have to find that peace within yourself first. I just think I have so much life to live still and I rather live the way I am now and meet so many new people and personalities and see what is right for me rather than tie myself down to anyone right now for the fear that I could end up alone if I don't act soon. So yeah, LONG STORY SHORT, I hope one day I meet that person who is just amazing in everyway for me and I am for them, but I don't wish to meet them now or if I have met them already I wouldn't want anything between us for a very long time. I still want to have fun and meet more people and learn more about myself before committing to that right person. |
I really think love is when you care about someone more then yourself. When you're willing to go through thick and thin for that person and still care for them unconditionally. I don't think you should really put an age on love. I think anyone can acquire it at any time. Just of course, when you are younger and you don't have any understanding of it. A one week relationship seems like you are in love.

Love is an extension of friendship's system of mutual benefit, an explicit committment to abide by someone... or sometwo, etc. This is generally only implicit in friendship. As that is enough for me, and as I experience very little if anything in the way of romantic emotion, lovers and close friends are the same thing to me. I hope that's not confusing; let me know if it is.
|
I know I'm falling in love when I see myself being more than willing to do nearly anything for a specific someone no matter how painful that something may be.
I've been infatuated before but as far as love goes I only felt that way once before and that was 2 years ago now. I'd like to think that there is such a thing as the one but I don't want to give myself any false hope now despite my delusions of grandeur regarding how I see myself in the near future. Not going to give my opinion on love itself seeing how I can't think of anything substantial off the top of my head when it comes to defining it now. |
I've never had a proper, stable relationship, I think my longest to date is a few months. My problem is that I tend to do silly things when under the influence of alcohol.
So, have I experienced true love? No. Do I believe in "the one"? Maybe. I'm not in any rush to find a girl and settle down to start a family, as I don't think i'm responsible enough. But I wouldn't rule it out some day. |
