Love Is?

Yeah Mysti, you got that smack on. Works great for two mins and a nightmare for the next ten years!!

Yet is seems we all look for it. I am going to invent a cure for wanting to be with someone. When I have found the formula I will share my new found millions with you all!

:-)

Hi Tracey. The Sweetest Thing by U2 is one of my fave love songs....it just seems to sum everthing up really. Just thought I'd throw that in!

The labour party have already done it cmdr_data - and they've already got the millions!

(sorry couldn't resist that one!)

Cmdr, don't be such a pessimist, when you find it you won't want the cure :)

thanks for that commander....but ya gotta keep hoping...that's all there is....never give up!! x

I couldnt agree more with you Mysti.......never give up, there is always hope.

Love is a feeling you only know when it is there as your inner system seems to fire up, but doesn't know where it is going, you only hope destination is heaven. As to all the nicesties, honesty, trust,respect & all other combinations, comes with building up your relationship, love isn't built on those things, love is a most precious & treasured mode in life. remember all the niceseties can be killed in one stroke, be unfaithful & see what happens. You might throw them out the door, BUT, the love is still there. You hurt your partner, you hurt yourself, Why !! because love is a most beautiful thing, you don't make it, you only make the hurt that follows, because of the mistrust, that is why trust Etc is a combination of all things that protects Love, or should do.

Love is an 'ideal' - it is there to be tested!

Love is ......... 2 minutes between the lips, 9 months between the hips!!!

Love is wanting to spend your waking moments with that special person, thinking about them all the time, seeing the smile on their face when they see you, butterflies in the stomach, trusting them completely...it also brings so much hurt and pain when it goes wrong..

Love is...whatever you want it to be.

It's not what it is MB...IT'S WHERE THE BLOODY HELL is IT??

hahaha mysti!

I'm hiding from it !!!

Shazzi

I agree with you completely. It's bittersweet but you just can't help falling.

I think you get addicted to the highs (and lows) Love is a drug...as Brian Ferry once said...or sang....

With you on that one Mysti. I wish I could feel the rush again.

Love is...
feeling that the rest of the world will never truly know or understand that secret delicate bond you share;

trusting enough to lower your barriers;

knowing that other person's faults and hopelessly adoring them because of them.

Hello WHB, what I've gleaned from all this so far is that the key nouns that go with love are trust, action, discipline.

So it's almost the opposite of 'I want for myself'. The lust/tempoary hormonal imbalance part of attraction is immediate, is felt within oneself, so the other may or may not feel it, but whatever it is, it doesn't last, unless those other factors are present.

So the place for the 'falling' bit of love is after trust has been established, not before, in some kind of hormonally/chemically intoxicated leap of faith/insanity!

Hi Western Sunrise
In my experience the strongest love relationships are those in which you do make leaps of faith, accept differences and are also prepared to compromise. As an intelligent and sadly more cynical person than I once was, I would certainly look for "proof" that the object of my "Lust/temporary hormonal imbalance" returned the attraction before lowering my barriers. I would also be looking for far more compatibility than that of sexual attraction. The difficulty as I see it for many women is; recognising when a man is attracted enough to want more than sex.
