:D xx

Emotionally: Painfull
Physically: Sticky

It’s not necessarily painful, nor fantastic and amazing. As said, only you can know what it’s like, for you, because it’s different for everyone.

So far love has only been painful feeling to me.. But I’m sure love can be amazing - I’m still seaching.

there is no true feeling. you just know when you are in love with someone

And what’s magic?

lol, there isn’t a real way to describe true love….

Magic is like, when you feel you can do anything, everything, thats ones hard to explain tho.. lol and yeah there isnt an easy way to describe it.

to me its because i feel i am one with my SO. that without her i am only 1/2 alive and 1/2 whole. she is my other half. i’d rather be intensely ill and in pain than see her in pain. i’d rather die than see her hurt

i am willing to give everything i have and ever will for her.. thats how i see myself in love.. now thats only physical feeling.. of course there is a deep down feeling to follow through that no one is able to describe

Righs.. so what’s love.. to you? How have you experienced it?

Love to me is viewing and imperfect person, perfectly. They make your heart skip and beat and you can’t wait to see them. :) Hanging out is the best.

So what do you do.. if you loved someone so much you’d give your life for them.. and when u tell her u love her.. she .. rejects you?

I’d give my life for anyone, really.
That’s my problem.
Even though I broke up with him for hardly any affection *we got back together.
I never told him how I felt either.
I’m afraid of rejection and the biggest awkward silence I could even imaginge creating.
Haha.

There are so many different answers too this. Some people will claim its a chemical reaction you get when you have been with a partner for awhile (that is supposed too help you and your mate stay in the relationship for mating purposes)

Some will say its a feeling that you care about someone more than yourself.

Some will say they want too run too the rooftop and scream, and there stomach has butterflies in it. (too me this is infatuation not love)

Some will say they would give there life for that person.

My opinion is you know your in love when you care about a person just as much as you care about yourself … not more and not less.

Rejection is a sad fact of life. If the person does not feel the same way about you… You will get over it just give it time. Also maybe you said it too soon and just scared them.

Um hmm you were dating her since you were 8? Did you date her at all?

Well you don’t want too seem creepy too her that’s for sure. So have you ever asked her too go on a date with you or just hang out? Love is not a word you should just throw at people out of the blue unless its your family.

What do you feel when you love someone? If distilled down to it’s core components, what would those be? Yes, love is an emotion, a feeling, a wanting, and a “being”. We know it feels good, but what specific feelings, wantings, and beings are present when we feel love? Here are the common denominators of love…
Love is Accepting.
Acceptance is labeling someone as “okay” and having no particular desire to change them. Who they are is perfectly fine with you. You pose no condition on whether you will love them or not. This is call unconditional love. When your love IS conditional, the moment they step outside your set of conditions, love evaporates.

Love is Appreciating.
Appreciation is one step beyond acceptance. Its when your focus is on what you like about another. We look at them and feel this sweeping appreciation for who they are, their joy, their insights, their humor, their companionship, etc. When someone says they are “in love” with another, they mean their appreciation is so enormous for this person that it consumes their every thought.

Love is Wanting Another to Feel Good.
We want those we love to be happy, safe, healthy, and fulfilled. We want them to feel good in all ways, physically, mentally and emotionally.

I don’t mean it too say what you did was wrong. I just was trying too help. You feel the way you feel and nobody can tell you otherwise. I think it probably took a lot of guts too tell her that.

Yeah, I’ve experienced the bad things of love, and some of the good things of it…
and for what I’ve felt, it’s something truly great…

I don’t think there’s a way to describe love, and I’m not going to squeeze my mind trying to find a way to tell what it is…I’m just going to live it, and live it as well as I can…
