Having an argument with a friend over this and want some ammunition.
"Define" love... Not the chemical reaction, but the rest of it. I'm talking bunnies, butterflies all that rubbish here people.
Who was the first person you truly fell in love with? What kind of emotion does that bring to mind when you think about them now?
Do you think that its something we can convince ourselves does not exist / is something we can prevent ourselves from feeling again?
Go!

There is no other stuff, it's all stimulus and response, care and lust, protection and hedonism. All chemical in origin.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Love is a box of candy on valentines, holding hand on the beach, or just a touch on the hand to show someone you care.
Love rides on a pure white stallion through a spring meadow, and floats along a river at sunset.
Love is a fluffy puppy or kitten with a red bow tied around it's neck.
Love is a whisper in the dark, or a telephone call late at night.

Originally posted by NatsiaI used to work in Asda with a woman who was 10 years older than me. You may have heard of the term weak at the knees, she made me lose my ability to speak!! The woman was amazing, I'm not too sure if it was the fact she was married with 2 kids (she was very unhappy) and she wasn't "available". Anyway, we got up to everything in the stock room and even in the fridges too!

We eventually moved in with each other, with obvious disappointment from my parents etc but we couldn't live without each other, it was as if we were joined at the hip, we must have spoke to each other on the phone (when one of us was working and in the early stages) literally all day.
When a woman can make your heart feel as if it is about to pump out of your chest, makes you do things you don't want to, make you ignore all advice that is being offered, makes you so blinkered into what you want, makes you talk about her to everyone.
In hindsight, I don't know why I left her (apart from being far too young to adopt her kids!). We were both besotted by each other, we made each other feel like a million dollars!!
Ahhh..... memories!

Originally posted by Natsiai like the way that love is expressed in good will hunting. robin williams' dead wife used to fart in bed, yet he loved even that! i think love is too complicated for words, to emotional for this thread. because that is what is is, emotional! it is something that has to be experienced to be believed. think of all the poetry, the love songs, the epic novels-all about love! it is somthing that cannot be kept bottled up, and yet it is something that noone but you can understand!

i think we can convince ourselves that it does not exist, just as we can convice ourselves that it does exist. i do not know if it is something that we can prevent ourselves from feeling again though. i'm still young...
so, how would i define love? i would go with a combination of the ideas expressed in good will hunting-that you love every bit of them, even their farting in bed!-and with that famed passage in the bible. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Originally posted by NatsiaI am in love. Have been for years. For me, it never fades nor can be explained in explicit terms. The best I can do is explain it as a combination of things: respect, admiration, longing, security and affection.
