What is Love?

Post Reply New Topic

Interested to hear your views . . . . I am a very emotional NT for me Love is (probably) .. . . .
1 the idea of living your life without the person you love in it makes you sad
2 a willingness to do almost anything to make the person you love happy
3 feeling comfortable and safe in their company
4 they make you feel happy
5 enjoying their company no matter what you are doing

What is love? Baby don't hurt me, baby don't hurt me, no more.

But seriously, basically the same things you described.

lol, that's what I came here to post

Haha I nearly quoted that toooo

Damn it, beat me to it

Sounds a bit like it yes.

Or as i discovered the first time i was in love: All those really cheezy love songs on the radio suddenly made sense(!).

I would describe love as a gift, a gift that only the chosen can ever experience, only the chosen will have it, i, alas, am not one of these chosen, so i will never experience it. basically to me, its an unachieveble desire


this sounds oddly out of character for me, but im in a dark mood at the moment so here we are.

Sorry to hear you're in a dark mood . . .. Maybe join in with the karaoke singing event I seem to have started?

Love is when a woman can look past my Wolfman proclivities,

and see me for the Gentle Animal that I truly am

I am intrigued now Kraftie . . . . . .what are these "wolfman proclivities"?

If I state them, then the Mystique would dissolve.

Let's just say that I enjoy the Scent of a Woman

It means I care about the person as much or more than I care about myself & feel lost without them in my life.

Love is nothing more than a second-hand emotion. Then again, what do I know. The only emotions I ever feel anymore are anger, hate, disgust, guilt and sorrow.

i like that description. i wouldn't have been able to put it so clearly

i wouldn't include #5 though. i'm not good at splitting my attention between an activity and a person, and there are certain things that call for solitude. just the awareness that someone is around me already changes everything, because being mindful and considerate is an active effort in itself. if someone could actually make me feel different about that in their presence, that would be an entirely new concept of happiness to me. but i believe that that's nothing but fantasy

to me, love means commiting yourself to one person, giving your all to them, no walls, no fenses, and no holding back. Love means staying with that person, and keeping that bond strong through the good times and the bad, accepting them for who they are, and if they get sick, you do everything in your power to care for them. Love means always being honest with each other, and being yourselves. Love means respecting each other for the indeviduals that you are and always remembering that you loved each other for the people that you are, from the beginning, so you would not want to change them. Love means giving to your partner, expecting nothing in return, and putting their needs above your own. Love means trusting your partner and believing they will have your best interest at heart. Love means you'd be willing to die for your partner, if it came down to it. To me, true Love is truly meant to last for ever.

"love is like those 2nd-rate hotels where all the luxury is in the lobby." [jean paul toulet]

seriously, it is an exalted state where one feels organically one with one's love object. it is a state where one would never think of leaving one's love behind, one would sooner cut off one's arm than do anything that would put distance between one and one's love. it is a state of utter comfort, total un-self-conscious authenticity, utter belonging, that one has a safe harbor, a refuge from the world.
