I don't want people to think that I'm a robot. I am a very warm person. I think love maybe just isn't a logical thing, so I have a hard time understanding it. I did score very high on the alexithymia test. I was hoping that more people could relate. I'm starting to feel like I'm more alone than I think I am.
I would die for my daughter or wife or just about anybody that is in trouble. I was driving down the road one day while it was raining. The rain turned to ice in a split second. Cars coming down the hill in front of me started spinning. It was amazing. It was like it was choreographed. Then they started slamming into each other and everything around. One car hit another and the second slammed into a cliff and was leaning nearly on it's side. I didn't even think about it. I slammed my car into park, jumped out and ran to help. I got the guy and his kid out and then it hit me. I didn't know if the car could flip over. I didn't know if there was gas leaking out and it was about to explode. I just did what I had to to help those people. It was probably stupid of me, but my first reaction is always to help those around me. I just wanted to give you an example to show that I am not a cold hearted robot.

I don't know if I am even able to fall in love. It seems really complicated. I consider it a weakness. I would be afraid of being abused.
But if love is true, mutual and respectful, it's probably nice.

I'd say that that was love. The word has a lot of definitions, and not all them involve a "feeling". One definition of Christian Love is wanting and doing what is best for the other person. One definition of Romantic Love is "that condition in which the happiness of the other person is essential to your own". Jesus said "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend." A lot of the definitions involve more "doing" love than "feeling" love.

The narrator in Blake Shelton's "Ol' Red" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asxrMSVrJ08&ob=av3e) claims that something he calls "love" landed him in prison... but I really don't think that word properly describes whatever drove him to kill his wife and/or her boyfriend.
