What the f**k is love ?

[hussar]

C'mon tell me, I need to know

[Maple]

1. Caring about someone else

at least as much, or more, as you care about yourself.

[hussar]

4. I know that

but ..................

[Terwilliger]

2. it's a metamorphic thought process

that changes you from flawed, lumpen human being...into an avatar of life and light

[hussar]

7. I know where you are coming from

but....................

[Terwilliger]

16. but what? but what?

don't leave me hanging! :cry:

[hussar]

19. Read on

:hi:

[prolesunited]

32. I like your explanation

succint, but it works on many levels.

[Deja Q]

3. It's the exchange of two fantasies

:D

[LuLu550]

5. Simply put

Love is when the happiness of the "other" is essential to your own happiness. :loveya:
I feel that way about my children, I have rarely felt it toward anyone else, I have never had anyone feel that way about me. But I keep looking!

[Brucey]

6. Love is blind.

Love is never having to say you're sorry. Love is picking your nose in front of someone, then kissing them. Love is being unable to eat and being happy about it. Love is being confused and obsessed. Love is madness. Love is hate. Love is god.

[hussar]

9. You are sooooooo right

and it is going back to different time in your life, another age, another feeling, almost being another person

[Seneca]

8. in my case

My new pair of hiking boots. :-)

[SOteric]

10. An old Italian proverb my mother used to like to quote:

If you have to ask, you're not in love.

[hussar]

12. Love is pain

n/t

[sistersofmercy]

11. Love is a place...

within your being, each place holds a different grasp to those you cherish. Hence the variations of love and when one we love has gone, there will always be a void in that place.

[LuLu550]

13. oh

are you in a bad-love way, hussar????

[hussar]

14. That would be telling

I'm bleeding !

[LuLu550]

15. ouch!

"It hurts to be in love." I'm sorry if you are hurting in love...Nothing anyone can say will make it better...it's like trying to ride a tidal wave...hang on and hope for the best...we are with you!
:hug:

[hussar]

17. Thanx

it's a problem to talk about it

[LuLu550]

21. well

you must want to since you mentioned it....
we're here for you...even if it is just to "talk around it."

[sistersofmercy]

20. Do tell!

There was a man I loved once, he sort of dumped me, called me two weeks later but me pride would not allow me to reconcile what he had said to me, I still miss him sometimes, it's been years.

[hussar]

24. It's too difficult

I'm in a situation

[Terwilliger]

25. the object of your affection isn't reciprocating?

[hussar]

28. I'm not sure

I could write a book about my stupidity in these situations

[sistersofmercy]

36. Oh, doubt is the unfortunate side effect of

your love for someone. It's opposing polarities; you feel so wonderful in their presence but yet feel so empty when not with them, the emptiness amplifies the doubt, "Do they feel the same?"

[sistersofmercy]

27. I told...

part of mine, tell part of yours!

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. "What's This Shit Called Love"

by the Pagans (Cleveland, circa 1978):

I saw it in books, I read it on T.V.
It don't mean nothing to me.
Little girl, I got a question.
Come on, babe, teach me a lesson!

What's this shit called love?
Well, I don't know!
What's this shit called love?

I don't know, and baby, I don't care.
Ain't got nothing that I want to share.
Looking at you, I guess that I feel something.
Anything, it would be better than nothing.

What's this shit called love?
I don't know.
What's this shit called love?

Somebody help me, please!

[MUAD_DIB]

22. What kind of love? Be specific!

Puppy love

Monkey love

Platonic love

Lava love

Love of a good cigar

Love that ole black magic

Love lost

30 Love

Angry love

Love at first sight

Sexual lovin

Love American style


Well?

[hussar]

26. I guess it's a bit of all of the above

sorry :shrug:

[LuLu550]

30. OK hussar

we are all ready to give you our sage advice, but you must give us more of an idea what is happening....in love with someone who is not free??? in love with someone who does not love you??? in love with an inanimate object???? or worse...
In love with a...
with a....
REPUBLICAN?????

[hussar]

33. I'm not free

.

[never cry wolf]

37. I know where you're coming from......

I have found my soulmate, but neither of us is free at the moment. Gawd, it hurts.

[qwertyMike]

41. Cyber-Love steviet_2003??????????

[never cry wolf]

44. no, not really

reconnected on line with my old flame, the one I could never forget. Ya, mostly on line instant messaging due to circumstances and we are maybe 100 miles apart, but we do have a history and get together every coupla months for a lunch or something. Been going on for almost 2 years, she is my best friend and confidante and I am hers. No hanky panky but, oh, how I dream.........

[LuLu550]

38. ahhh ... I see

well then, you have to decide if what you feel for this new person is worth risking and losing everything you have with your current partner. Never easy. I left my husband for another man. It was the best thing that I ever did even though the relationship I went to did not work out in the end. I was miserable with my husband and the new person just gave me the push I needed to get out of a very bad situation.
Does that help any? (I told you I had sage advice.)

[underpants]

23. Love is like Chinese food

No is happy until everyone gets their cookies.

Love is when you know it.

[SmileyBoy]

29. It's the love a man has for a fine Cuban cigar...

...or a pair of freshly washed and dried cotton boxers, or the smell of sausages and pretzels roasting when entering your favourite football team's stadium an hour before kickoff...

Oh wait, that's what I love. (sans the cigar):-)

[speckledgator]

31. I am 44...

and it took me many years to find it
I will put it in a very crude way...
Love is when you are sexually attracted to your best friend...
And can live together and make it work...
and absense makes the heart ache
and souls connect

I know it sounds corny...
but when it happens it will feel so natural and right

[populistmom]

40. This is an awesome description

I would say the exact same thing.

My husband though says it's caring about your partner more than yourself which is in of itself, our inherent problem sometimes. I want to share together and in his view I can't give enough to prove my love or perhaps need enough to prove my need for him to love me.

I don't know why I'm writing this stuff. Geesh.

I guess love is hard sometimes.

[leftist_rebel1569]

34. A F^#&@&G long and complex

set of feelings for someone else, that ends up killing you in the end and only feeling worst than before. That's love.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

35. Love is never having to say your sorry....

*groan* WHy did it take so long?

[roguevalley]

39. unselfish regard for another.

That just about covers everyone and everything. :)

RV, sending love

[qwertyMike]

42. Love is like the 'flu

Sometimes you get over it
Sometimes you die

[sistersofmercy]

43. Hussar, I've read, get the scenario, go for it, if not you'll never

forgive yourself. Trust me, never!

[never cry wolf]

45. I agree wholeheartedly

I did not pursue hard enough once, now at 49 I WILL NOT make the same mistake now that I have been given a second chance. When you look back on your life, it is always the things you did not do that are the regrets.

[rbnyc]

46. It's waiting for me in the other room.

So what the hell am I doing in here? See ya'll later. 'Night.

:D
