Is "Love" a Noun or a Verb?
People would say to wait until you're (at least almost) 30 to get married so you can do what you want for yourself first, and have the time to find and figure out who is "the one." But then I wonder how people can love more than once.
Do people just learn to love the flaws or do things in some weird ways, just perfectly match?

I think both and eRmmm both...?
People fall in love with their SO's flaws and perfections; they accept the bad and the good. It isn't always peaches and cream to love someone.
there seems to be quite the disconnect between the title, the post, and the follow-up questions in bold. i have no idea what the hell just happened.
`Love` is a typo. The real word is `evolve` but it wasn't meant to be conceived so we scrambled it and got rid of the extraneous parts.
It's supposed to be like `let's evolve together` and now it's like "I love you so you have to have sex with me or I'm gonna make it your fault next time I get so drunk I fuck a guy."
What most of you think love is is actually just temporary marriage, an illegal concept in amerka~
depends on the person, some of us can't fall more than once.
Love is like a badger, it can be a verb and a noun =)
Love is an absolute.
Being such, words do not and cannot define it. They are built around it.
Love isn't an object; it's something you do. I love. You love. We love. It isn't just there. It takes a lot of work.
Relationships, in general, take a lot of work. & when someone else's happiness is as equally important to you as your own, decisions become harder to make. Love, or not, watching out for someone other than yourself is rough.I'm guessing that most people screw up in thinking that love is something that must be perfectly matched.
There's a song on Mayer's new album that answers this... try the first verse:
"Love is a verb,
it ain't a thing,
It's not something you own,
It's not something you scream.
When you show me love,
I don't need your words
Yeah love ain't a thing,
Love is a verb."
Yeah?
i think you can love many people, but only be in love with one person. cause love as a noun is an experience with THE ONE, but as a verb... you can love a lot of people. (sorry if that was sloppily written)

It's everywhere. I hate how people associate love with only romantic relationships.
It sounds like you don't like intangible concepts, such as abstract nouns. For example, I don't math, yet math is not an object. Math is a noun, is it not? We can replace math with science, destruction, ballet (not an object), etc.
All objects are nouns, but not all nouns are objects. Sorry, but I just didn't like that line as an argument.
It's both.
I'm not sure who, being serious, says to wait until you're 30? I know I've joked that my siblings can't have sex until they're 32 and married and already have kids.
Why would you think people could only love once? Humans have a seemingly limitless capacity towards loving many children, siblings, parents, and sometimes friends. Why should romantic love be seen as any different? Oh, right, Disney... except Pocahontas. If you get totally, horribly burned by someone you've loved (found out you've been used for sex for two years, cheated on after 20 years of marriage and children, etc.), that can make it to where you decide you'd prefer to be alone, but that doesn't mean you can't find someone else, someone better. I also don't see any reason why you couldn't love two romantic partners at the same time, though most people would be better off to not even attempt such a relationship.
My husband and I are both very flawed, but nothing that the other cannot tolerate. We roll our eyes, put up with it, and/or find other outlets for our quirks (yay for friends).
@Lynn Males@facebook - I don't say this to be mean, but if that's your take on love, I hope you don't have kids.
And gods had nothing to do with it, so you're doing the same thing Christians do when they preach their godly crap into a topic that had nothing to do with it. Please don't do that. It makes atheists look bad.
I've been wondering lately if after going through multiple relationships, we find better matches or we just learn to be in relationships better--maybe learn patience, or how to spice things up, or how to stay open-minded. Right now I think it's a bit of both.
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - I was just gonna say "feel free to write an essay" but datingish thought that was too short so i just sorta winged it. I was hoping people just focus on the title.
Love. Real love is a conscious act of giving towards the well-being of another. I tend to think it's in a spiritual context. Do you care so much about them that you would do anything to see them grow in a spiritual sense. And I don't mean spiritually in necessarily a religious sense either. I mean do you want to see them grow beyond who they are at the point at which you began to know them? When you entered into their life they were at point A. Do you want to see them evolve through the bounds of point A and turn into point B? If so, then you love them.
Love is a perishable emotion with a shelf-life comparable to that of most dairy products.
Oh, I see... the question as it relates to your post. I think to me, Love is a verb. It is something you must do (verb), not some thing (noun) that you can find.
For me, the action part of love is far more telling than the feeling part of love.
But... Grammatically it's both.
