Love is a big thing for anybody(girls and boys, women and men). Love is what you truely feel from your heart, its when you care about that somebody that you see at school everyday. When you love somebody it lasts for a while, dating has to do with love bc you give you bf all the love and you tell him you love him. You can show love in many ways: valentine's day,christmas time. Even as you grow older and you find the one you love truely without any doubts you probably end up marrying them. you can show love everywhere, and it doesnt always have to be a bf, just a friend, family, siblings,grand parents and etc. Love can be just a thing such as an object and etc.

...Love is just something that you have to feel.
It's an emotion, a strong one at that.
When 2 people love each other, they will show affection towards each other.
It's the easiest, but also the hardest thing in the world to do. [Love someone]
I find that many people say they're in love...and for all I know this may or may not be true. You just have to rely on your gut feeling and make sure you really mean it when you say you love someone. There will be times when you may not know if you DO love someone. But that's why you dont say the 3 words -- "I love you" -- until you're really sure about it.
It takes time.

Im going to agree...with ALL of these answers.
Because love can be anything YOU and the one you love, want it to be. It's on you.
& No one can dare tell you if you are in love or not..because only you will know the answer to that.
Love can surpass any other emotion you can possibly feel, and it can overcome any obstacle.
It is simply the most powerful, and mind bobbling thing on this planet.

What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.

Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud. It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true. Love can occur between two or more individuals. It bonds them and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul. Love should be experienced and not just felt. The depth of love can not be measured. Look at the relationship between a mother and a child. The mother loves the child unconditionally and it can not be measured at all. A different dimension can be attained between any relationships with the magic of love. Love can be created. You just need to focus on the goodness of the other person. If this can be done easily, then you can also love easily. And remember we all have some positive aspect in us, no matter how bad our deeds maybe. And as God said �Love all�

Depending on context, love can be of different varieties. Romantic love is a deep, intense and unending. It shared on a very intimate and interpersonal and sexual relationship. The term Platonic love, familial love and religious love are also matter of great affection. It is more of desire, preference and feelings. The meaning of love will change with each different relationship and depends more on its concept of depth, versatility, and complexity. But at times the very existence of love is questioned. Some say it is false and meaningless. It says that it never exist, because there has been many instances of hatred and brutality in relationships. The history of our world has witnessed many such events. There has been hatred between brothers, parents and children, sibling rivalry and spouses have failed each other. Friends have betrayed each other; the son has killed his parents for the throne, the count is endless. Even the modern generation is also facing with such dilemmas everyday. But love is not responsible for that. It is us, the people, who have forgotten the meaning of love and have undertaken such gruesome apathy.

In the past the study of philosophy and religion has done many speculations on the phenomenon of love. But love has always ruled, in music, poetry, paintings, sculptor and literature. Psychology has also done lot of dissection to the essence of love, just like what biology, anthropology and neuroscience has also done to it.

Psychology portrays love as a cognitive phenomenon with a social cause. It is said to have three components in the book of psychology: Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion. Also, in an ancient proverb love is defined as a high form of tolerance. And this view has been accepted and advocated by both philosophers and scholars. Love also includes compatibility. But it is more of journey to the unknown when the concept of compatibility comes into picture. Maybe the person whom we see in front of us, may be least compatible than the person who is miles away. We might talk to each other and portray that we love each other, but practically we do not end up into any relationship. Also in compatibility, the key is to think about the long term successful relationship, not a short journey. We need to understand each other and must always remember that no body is perfect.

Be together, share your joy and sorrow, understand each other, provide space to each other, but always be there for each others need. And surely love will blossom to strengthen your relationship with your matter of affection.

To me, love is not about the stability of a relationship, however it is so much more in such little ways. Love is when you find that controlling your emotions is utterly impossible. You are constantly smiling, and at times, you start laughing too when you are alone. Love is about feeling positive about life. Every day seems so much brighter and full of life and colour, and the wrong and mean aspects of life are washed away, as if you can't even see them around the world no longer. Love is about worrying about your appearance for that one person, even though they have accepted you as you are - however you don't care because you want to make them happier and love you even more than they already do. Love is when you no longer feel the need to see shooting stars because everything you have ever wished for is yours, now and forever.
Despite the positive aspects of love, love also involves sacrifice. Love is the sacrifice that you make for someone else's happiness i.e. you would personally endure pain, just to see a smile on their face. For example, if the love of your life, in reality, loves some one else, then, if your love is pure and your heart is large, you would let them go because they would be happy with the one they love (although it is not you). To me, sacrifice is a great part of love, and if the love is pure, then sacrifices will always be made.

Love is having no control over yourself. Love is giving even when it hurts. Love is letting go and praying for a miracle. It's looking into their eyes and feeling their pain. It's no an image of the mind or an illusion, it's you.

I believe love is not a feeling or anything like that. I believe love is a state of mind where your only thought goes to the person you constantly think about. Love can be good and it can be bad. Love can happen anytime, anywhere. There's an instinct love and then there's the love love. For an example, you would love your mom since she loves you right? That's the instinct love. Love love, is the knid that leads to marraige, relationships, etc.

My opinion of love is that when you see the person you know they are the one.When you are younger you may think you love the person but you just say that because you really don't know what it is but when you are older love is when the person you love is not ashamed to show you off as there beautiful trophy no matter the shape or size or race.Love is also understanding one another during hard times and sticking it out with each other through thick or thin and when you really know that your in love is when your man gets down on one knee and asks you to marry him and later on ask you to have his children and start a family.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CONTACT ME AT anastasiaredmond@yahoo.com

In my opinion love is what you make it. Its neither jealous or careless. Its emotion. It is ones feeling that are given off when someone cares of someone deeply. There is no right or wrong definition for love. The only honest way to find the definition is to look in your own heart and measure what values are important to you and which ones arent so much. I wish u the best of luck.

Love is where it doesn't matter how much that person hurts you, you'll still love them you'll still have feelings for them.
Love is where you stick up for them with anything even when you know they are in the wrong.
Love is where you'll pretty much die for that person to care about you.
Love is pain.

Love is something that you cant describe by words, and thats what makes it so magical. Love can mean a lot of things it might be the passion you have for your work or the way you treat your children. Love means something different every time. No matter how hard you try to describe it ,everyone will have their own theory about love depending on what they have felt and seen.
To be honest the question : what is love? has more than 1 answer but each person has their own definition for it
