What is love?

[porhtna]

I am still cofused by the notion of love so I wanted to hear your opinions. How would you define it or describe it? And what are your experiences like to "love" or "be loved"? Especially (but not limited to) romantic love, cus that's the most difficult for me to understand...

Best definition I have is you would do anything for someone you love, and their happiness makes you happy.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hope my actual response makes sense.

This, and the person you truly love will make you happy just being who they are as you spend time with them. Romantic love is just really really liking someone A LOT, more than you like other people, wanting to spend lots of time with them, plus the physical/sexual intimacy. It's not really as complicated as people think.

If you believe you love something it is just something to lose and will eventually just cause you more pain. It is better to never love anything in the first place in my opinion. Life is mostly just pain and suffering and nothing positive ever seems to lasts.

it's better to loved and lost than never loved at all, love is something you can't live without, without it your world falls apart more pain then anything you can even imagine.

Being a virgin aside.

Love is like having a BFF that you also want to fuck.

Yes, this is what I always say too. Simple as that. Glad to see a married person weighing in

Do you think to love is natural or something that needs to be learned and practiced? I think I don't even know what that feels like or how to start.. (Of course you guys' posts are giving me some ideas so thanks!) Like I don't have that part of my brain activated. Right now I don't think my world is falling apart for the lack of love, but I kinda want to have that experience.

both natural and learned and parcticed, to love someone else should come natural, to love something like art drawing is a learned and practiced the more you learn the more you love it.

Honestly, I think you just have to be lucky enough to meet the right person. For some people it happens all the time, and for some, never. If you meet the right person(s) that part of your brain will activate, believe me

Love comes in two forms really. Giving and receiving. Unfortunately most people have ever really experienced one side of the story. However, I do know this from personal experience. When it happens its sudden, then its unbearable, and when it's gone you're lost. And after getting pushed down you want nothing more to do with it. Then you meet a guy named Tom at the corner store with the pretty blue eyes. And it's back to square one. And after this happens about 30×. You're pretty sure you've got it figured out. Until you realize no one can really know it or explain it. Just feel it. Sometimes you'll regret it. Sometimes you won't.

yo thanks for sharing the meme, always fun discovering those internet relics.

A consistent and conscious effort to wake up and choose the same person as your one and only every day - to make them happy, loved and spend time with them - and for them to do the same in return. I don't think romantic love is much different than a platonic one, the only difference being bonding trough sex.

for me, to love someone is to take care of them and want the best for that person even if it means it hurts.

good song, how many memories from my adolescence haha

Love is being so intuitively and wholly devoted to someone or something that you'd let it destroy you, with a lot of pain but no regrets.

"What people call love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed."

Now we just need to find a way to inject a constant supply of oxytocin, which is apparently the love hormone.

What if you actually do have a BFF that you fuck?

Idk. Maybe you're in love then.

Totally. They are the person I love the most by far in this world.
