    Love, to me, is something to deep and complex to even have a definition. To me, it's one of those things I'll only know when I see it, but I have a feeling it's not the fairy tale childhood led me to believe.

    Unwavering loyalty and undying sacrifice to a person or cause and doing what's best for them.

    Other than that, I've never really understood it.

    When you love someone more than you love yourself.

    You'll find my definition on the book of King Solomon. Probably some of you have read the story of two mothers. I have never identified more with a woman in my life than with the 'true' mother.

    When you really love someone, you'd rather see them go than hurt them.

    Love does not want to posess, only to protect and nurture. It wants to be the source of happiness for somebody else, as long as that happiness you give is good for them.

    To me, true love has to be more 'filial' than 'romantic'. I see my lover as someone I must protect and take care of.

    Yes, we can talk wine and roses, and sex and all romantic, but at the end is all about loyalty, being strong enough and keeping your own ego out of the way sometimes.

    And it's also a question of patience and faith. A lot of faith.

    My relationships (girls) always end up feeling like a duty. Maybe that's why I need a boyfriend instead :grin: But I believe love comes in all kinds of forms and we need a little bit of every kind. The love of a parent/guardian, friends, significant other, pets, self, etc. I could continue that list but you get it. It depends on the individual but I think there should be a balance of multiple kinds.

    I use my best friends password but he still has his stupid girlfriend and insists that he's straight :/ (Lol jk)

    Love is caring for someone it hurts. Will to do anything for them. Help them, be there for them. Love for my family, friends, lovers.

    I don't believe in "one true love" and really strong, forever lasting romantic bonds and feelings.

    I'm the downer who believes "love" is mere brain chemistry mixed with hormones.

    For me, it's wanting to be with that person, and not wanting to let them go.

    It's about loving someone no matter what. Like, they could lose their looks from age or disfigurement and you would still love them.

    You don't try to change that person. You love and accept them for who they are.

    You don't try to tear them down.

    Etc.

    In the immortal words of Bo Burnham

    "Love is taking that dive than getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool"

    No, but seriously

    I'm not even fully sure I believe that love exists ( at least in the romantic sense )

    Love is hard to say in words

    It's a strong emotional feeling that bonds people together and brings a person to care more for someone else than they do themselves. Love is the feeling that makes you lose your better judgement and do wreckless and crazy things if it means bringing happiness to the person you feel love for. In other words it's a big crazy mess of feels, but good feels so it's all good :slight_smile:

    Plus wanting that person to be happy, even if it means that's not with you.

    I feel like I'm unpopular with this, but I believe it's a selfless appreciation of someone else balanced by understanding that there are also aspects that are naturally going to be selfish. Love is about two people being greater than the sum of their parts, whether it's platonic, romantic, or sexual.

    Even at my age I feel like there's still people looking for a relationship to fix them or give them something to do.

    Now well let's see
    I love people who get on my nerves -
    I have loved people I shouldn't
    I feel love for many things and places

    Now Romantic love / spiritual love / deep connection that is something magically - I'd say it's the connection and that you feel it in the heart and would walk a mile or more for that person - respect and care - protection - honesty and much more

    Love is a drug. It kind of is, because you can be addicted to love.

    In a more serious tone, for me love is taking someone with the negative traits they have and being happy to spend your life with that person.
