The answer is fairly simple. It feels automatic. Visually, emotionally, spiritually, vocally, harmonically it just works. You've seen other couples where their relationships just work. The couples work well together as a team. There's no one sidedness about it. That love thing is in there somewhere. Love is sharing, and caring. Love is tolerance and patience. Love is happiness and contentment. Love is love.

i have been in love on a few occasions. and it is correct to say that there is no denying it when it happens. there is a psychological and a biological response to someone which is simply overwhelming when you find someone who is especially compatible with you and who also finds you especially compatible with them.

unconditional love is the purest. it is the love of a child for her mother. you love them for being who and what they are with absolutely no other condition and it is reciprocal. they put your interest above their own.

that is why it is called "falling" in love. there is no control in falling. you don't even need to take a misstep. once you are in the air, you fall.

so, if you know about putting someone else's interest above your own - you may already know more about love than you realize!

:wink: flowerforyou


hmm.. so puting someones's interest than your own.. okey..

I have a question.. in those 8 years that you were trying to get over a past relationship, did you accomplish more than what you could accomplish ? meaning, were you more productive or were you devastated?

Love can blind you from the truth sometimes. There are things I would never beleive could happen when in reality, they can. Sometime we refuse to beleive there is anything wrong when in fact, there is. Knowing that, will make me ask more questions and be more responsive to "women clues" as it seems it is always a hint of something wrong when there is a bigger problem that is never discussed until later down the road, when it's too late!drinker

So the best thing in a relationship is communication, seems I heard that somewhere before??drinker

an icequeen does not ask this question. so, you are not an icequeen.

i will add this much. one does not make a decision to fall in love. however, one does make a decision to nurture and maintain a loving relationship and that is the *work* part of it. if you have a good match to begin with though it can be almost effortless for years and years.

Hi everyone. I think that once you experience that REAL LOVE, you can never get it back. You can come close, but never get the real one back again. I was deeply in love with my girls father, together for many years. Then he started cheating on me. That right there killed the love I did have for him. I've been single a long time now. Maybe one day I will find another man to love, but, it will never be the same. Hopefully, it will be much, much better the second time around.


Cheers to you for being in love.. at least you have.. and you should be thankfull for having that and recognizing it. I hope that we all find love one day..

My last relationship was two years ago. She was tough and pulled some pretty hokey crap and I forgave her which proved I had tolerance and could love unconditionally. She decided to go back to her ex husband out of the blue. Took a few months to get over the broken heart. The choices she made she will have to live with forever because I would never take her back after the financial, spiritual, emotional, and trust damages she inflicted on me. But I'm not jaded. Just wiser and more cautious. On loving again. You just gotta have faith!

All I will say is that I totally, 100% disagree with this, but what the hell do I know? I believe in lust now.....so....meh!

Goodness sakes...you shouldn't be embarassed by bein single...I was for many years. I have read all of these posts and everyone has their own definitions for Love...I guess that's because our own truths are different...Isn't that awesome!
For me..unconditional Love...goes to my children...have thought about that word for many years...In a perfect world I suppose...But when I think of loving a partner...there are conditions or it simply wouldn't work for me..If my partner wanted to go out sleepin with everything that walked..guess I wouldn't like it much and would not allow that in my life...so there's a condition...We all have our boundaries that we live by ...conditions...
Love has changed in my eyes... as the years have come and gone..For me Love is alot of work...no not painful...but work...and it's choice..No matter who you are with there will be issues...so you either choose to deal with them, or you don't. I guess it's just finding out what you can and want to deal with. I would love to sit here and say that the heavens parted when I met my husband...but that would be a lie. Yes there was the wonderful physical attraction and "lust" thing (which is icing on the cake). but then all the other things came into play...and that's where knowing your own heart is very important...What you want. I don't believe in putting someone first..makes a spirit unhappy..But being able to walk side by side, having the ability to agree to disagree...
There's alot of pain that goes along with any relationship breaking up. But if we make the choice to view the tribulation as a learning experience opposed to a failure..then we are much ahead of the game...A new beginning...instead of an ending...
Your a beautiful young woman...it'll happen for ya...Wishing you an awesome New Yearflowerforyou
