I think love is the combination of infatuation, lust, and actual knowledge/respect of the other person.


Agreed, kortie. I'd say, for most, it's a progression of the three in the order you've outlined it as well.

This is why blind dating repels me tho. I can't do infatuation or lust, which kinda defeats the purpose I suppose.

What if they were friends first.

Kitty: that happens all the time.

People become friends, and then later on fall in love with each other.

I wish I have a male friend who will fall in love with me.

I had my first long conversation with a guy, at least I know now I can talk to a guy, but my social skills may not be very good all the time.

I've never been in love, but I know if it's just because of looks then that's lust. I can fall in love with a personality or I guess "care" about someone deeply because I cared very much for my ex Aspie friend and I never saw him. Personality is a big thing with me.

If I have a blind date and he's a hunk (is that word still used?) then he better have a personality, otherwise it's over before it even started.
