Cooking dinner and laughing cause you've added too much cream cheese to the Alfredo sauce
Eating the dinner anyways
Taking pictures of yourselves because you're bored and want to be silly
Laying in bed watching a movie with each other
Making fun of the cat
Being independent
Cleaning up your own dishes
Not taking a walk because of the bugs outside
Laying in bed falling asleep holding each other
Arguing
Being depressed
Ignoring him/her
Feeling horrible because you're ignoring him/her and then apologizing
Being open with each otherTrustCommunicationBeing happyLove isn't the kissing, the sex, the cuddling. Love is everything else. Everything else that makes a relationship work. With everything else, love becomes deeper. It's the "I'm madly in love with you forever" love. The "I'll never need anyone else but you" love.
Love has meaning. Make the most of it.
What is love to you?
True

I think it's everything, even the things you said that weren't.
thats cute :]
and i agree with @SeaChaCha@xanga
Aww, this is cute. This is exactly the kind of love that I am lucky enough to have. :)
i'm glad a post like this was posted because really that's what love is. it's all the small things and details that i notice everyday, all the little things that make me love him more. everything else seems to be initial attraction, it's the personality and small, miniscule parts of him that keep me in and what makes me love him.
It's everything. And a whole lot more.
This post makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :) lol.
@SeaChaCha@xanga - Love is Everything, Everything else, nothing and nothing else :P I concur.
Love is great, but right now it does not reside in this house ;(
Love is me and you ;)
LOVE IS UNDEFINED TO ME AT LEAST
<3
tip of the iceberg.
love is full of emotions and physicality. It's when you can cry, rant, scream, and fall apart, and that one person is still there. It's when you smile, laugh and want to show the world your love. I think that love is powerful and definitely encompasses everything.
thanks for this awesome post
Love is all that, AND a bag of chips, AND that big ice cream Costco. It's just as essential as food. <3 good post.
Unless you're with someone whom you have personally verified cannot ever willfully have sex without love, there is no love; because otherwise no amount of anything or everything can ever within eternity^eternity verify that it is not entirely an act of entirely deliberately false emotions.
Love is the mental state of mind when a series of hormones react to the presence of one (or more) person/ people. A chemical that ensure the longevity of a "relationship" is the same chemical that binds a child to his/her mother, emotionally. On average, this chemical will pump through the body for at least a year.
I've never really felt "love" or have understood it. So I research it scientifically...
*shrug*

@KrazeeKunoichi009@xanga - That is why you're wrong. I guarantee you that love and lust are not the same thing. Love cannot be induced by drugs or perfume.
@jasonwl@xanga - I meant emotion-wise, people are attracted to one another by pheromones and bound by other hormones. I wasn't talking about lust, I was talking about the state of mind one goes into when they're "in love". Pheromones attract you to a person, hormones make your heart beat for them, and oxytocin binds you to them. Keeping the feeling. It releases when touching (i.e hugging, kissing or sex) so you feel content (euphoric?) in close-proximity to your partner.
People say I won't even understand until I feel it, but I've just never felt any of it. So, I'm doing my best to understand from a third-person perspective. Mostly to help out my friends who have relationship troubles and (for some reason, god knows why) turn to me.
I don't mean for it to sound offensive or anything, it's just another perspective.
@KrazeeKunoichi009@xanga - You also have a much easier life than someone who frequently experience love and related emotions and have equivalent intellect. The workload of the mind increases exponentially as the emotional experience increases incrementally.
@KrazeeKunoichi009@xanga - No offense taken.
@jasonwl@xanga - Oh, you understand! I thought some miscommunication happened and I was freaking out, "Wait! Crap! Did I say something wrong!" (lol)
Overall, yeah, your right. Over-working your brain and having those hormones surging through it can be excruciatingly stressful on the mind ( at least how I see it, I can't blink and chew gum at the same time D: ). It DOES make more sense now that I think about it. People getting distracted from work because they're thinking about someone that has captured their interest.
It's a small price to pay for emotional euphoria, right?
:D
Awh! Agree.
looks like a few people just wiki'd love...lol... why does everyone feel like they have to give scientific answers. We all know that love is because of hormones in our brains, or whatever the fuck, but I'm pretty sure this post was touching on the more abstract side of love...
A good connection.
I think love is pretty much knowing, and having the other person know, that even if sometimes you don't ever want to see them again, you still don't know what you'd do without them.
