I was thinking and i was just curious what you guys thought love means or what love is. Do we naturally love or do we learn to love?

love is the thing that happens when you care for another person's well being unconditionally, you want that person to be as happy as he/she can possibly be and you would do anything to help him/her attain that happiness.

good question, there's lots of definitions to love. let's get some definitions =)
(if you really don't wanna read this long, you don't have to. but this stuff will probably surprise you, so i suggest you grab something to eat)

Wikipedia article on love
(some quotes here are straight from wikipedia)

QUOTE
Love has many meanings in English. It can mean an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love.


That's true, love is really intense.

QUOTE
Interpersonal love
Interpersonal love is love between two human beings, and is deeper than merely liking someone a lot. Although feelings are usually reciprocal, there can also be unrequited love. Interpersonal love is usually found in an interpersonal relationship, such as between family members, friends, and couples. However, people often express love for other people outside of these relationships through charity and volunteering.

Some elements that are often present in interpersonal love:

Affection: appreciation of other
Attachment: satisfying basic emotional needs
Reciprocation: if love is mutual
Commitment: a desire to maintain love
Emotional intimacy: sharing emotions and feelings
Kinship: family bonds
Passion: sexual desire
Physical intimacy: sharing of personal space
Self-interest: desiring rewards
Service: desire to help
Passion, or sexual energy, is probably the most important element in determining how a relationship is seen. This is because passion is often considered undesirable or unhealthy in love. In many religions and systems of ethics, it is wrong to have passionate love for immediate family, or outside of a committed relationship.


there's lots of types of ways you can love somebody, as said here.

Love is basically showing loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion towards another. Also, it shows that you are really attracted to somebody, in what I've heard. Love is also complicated, especially teenage love, since it sometimes causes a lot of drama.

I've heard a lot of drama from people who have experience teenage love. Here's something I got out of a Chinese show called Lady Stealer that is strongly true about love.

QUOTE
Kid: Teacher, what is love?
Teacher: Umm... Love is complicated. It's like when you see somebody, you're happy. When you don't, you are sad and you really want to see him/her. *starts crying*


Thats a deep line, man... But true in young love. Most teens (as I wanna suggest) aren't ready for love, because they think "ohh, my girlfriend/boyfriend will be with me FOREVER and EVER." That's pretty strong, yet there's a good chance its not going to happen. Here's an example:

2 teenagers: 1 boy and 1 girl
They are going out with eachother.
3 weeks later, they say "I love you and i will be with you forever!!!"
a week later, one of them (doesn't matter if it's the girl or boy), starts crying because they really miss the other person. The other person feels guilty, and it ends up possible like this:

- FEELS SO GUILTY THAT HE/SHE CRIES also

- can't stand a relationship, so breaks up

- really start talking to eachother more, and soon, they try their best to improve their relationship


yes, those are the possiblities.

teenage love is most likely too young for teenagers because they have pressures at home to learn/do other stuff and soon won't have enough time as needed to spend time with their boyfriend/girlfriend.

Let's go by a bible verse also I've found from the lounge fourms that is also true about love.

QUOTE
Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.

1st Corinthians 13:4-13


let's define the terms one by one.

patient - able to wait (love is a very patient thing)
kind - of course is kind, how can you love if you can't?
envies no one - doesn't jealously want (yep, love is not a jealous thing)
never boastful - doesn't self-pride
nor concieted - not self-centered (isn't so obsessed about yourself)
nor rude - doesn't have bad manners
never selfish - doesnt want only him/herself
not quick to take offense - doesn't get angry quickly
There is nothing love cannot face - nothing can stop love cool.gif
there is no limit to its faith - love's faithfulness can go VERY HIGH
its hope - no limits to it's confidence =)
and endurance - no limits to how you can withstand the stress you get, you can RESIST ALL THE STRESS you GET from love.

QUOTE
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love


amen to that manz..

faith is believing
hope is confidence
and love is faith and hope combined =)

pretty long ain't it?

oh yeah, to enter those questions. I think we SHOULD learn to love cuz MOST teenagers don't even know the meaning of love. just a little piece of advice.

QUOTE
Do we naturally love or do we learn to love?


depends on the person's personality. i've seen many different ways to love people.

love is infatuation for most teens.

they'll get over it tho and realize it. hopefully.

anyways: incase someone doesn't get it

evol= evil backwards is love

so love and hate aren't opposites, love and evil are.

I don't think love is describable because it's not the same for everybody and every person you love, you love in a different way... Like I love my mom but not the same as I love my friends or (if I had one) in the same way I love my boyfriend.

This is what Webster has to say: love n. Intense affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties; a strong feeling of attraction resulting from sexual desire; enthusiasm or fondness; a score of zero in tennis.

I think we love naturally in the begining but after we get screwed over we have to learn to love again... (mostly this refers to bf/gf/husband/wife love)

But here's my favorite saying: Cupid works for the devil.

i think that we naturally love. love it weird, i don't really know how to explain it. but i feel that we learn naturally, i don't think it is learned. hmm....

LOVE - A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

^^ That sounds about right.

Love is kind of undescribable, in my opinion.
I just think that if you're still a teenager, you are not in love.
Tip: Wait till you're older to get married. ;)

i think love means when you are willing to sacrifice anything for the well-being of the other person. you are willing to give up any of your wants so that the other person can be happy. you would be willing to stay away from that person so that he/she can be completely 100% pure [not just not having sex, but even staying away from flirting because people give their hearts away while flirting] for his/her future spouse

Love is shoveled into three different messes.

One being the tennage drama-

One being that important someone-

And the other being love for common human beings.

The teenage drama scene of love is obviously contained within the teenage population, and mostly located throughout highschool. There are all the instances, where people go mad over breakups, and have a high tendancy of holding grudges for some guy who likes your girl friends. That is more like the experimental stage of love.

Then we move onto the out of highschool, college-bound and maybe even out of college love. This is where it is more meaningful. This goes to the end of your life/ til a divorce. This is a point in which you are able to make a decision, knowing and experiencing most of all that before hand. This is where you want someone to be with, and have a happy life, being able to grow old with someone. So, you are a bit more careful on choosing who you think is right for you, and you make sure they are the one, before going off into holy matromony. (sp?) There are still those people who are stuck in stage one, and seem to divorce, like movie stars.

Then, for number three. This isn't part of the stages, really. It is more of an all around appearance on life itself. You may not know the person next to you while you are riding the train, but, if an accident were to happen, out of common curtesy, you would try and help them, because they are the essence of life itself. You would feel quiet hurt if they were to die, sort of like if your mother had done so, or any other family member. You may not cry, or feel as much affection for them, but it is somewhat close.

One girl in my school, she died about a year ago. Her name was Lauren Stilwell. She was hit in a car crash one morning, while jogging down the road. She ended up dying around 2 hours after being taken to the hospital. Of course, the soccer team cried, because she was on it. And yet, some other people did as well, even though they didn't know the person. All they knew was that it was life, and it was close to them.

So.. ehh. That is my view on it all.

Well, you can love naturally and just learn to love, like most people naturally love their parents and family, and sometimes a guy might like you and you might not like it at first, but you might learn to love him, and who knows, in the end you guys might become bf/gf.

Hey

I never thought of Love as something that happends and works its magic and makes everything beautifull and great..I think Love is something that you work at and make happend..sure it starts things off with a first kiss, or a first look, or what have you, but then the ball is in youre court and it is what you do with it then, that determines where love takes you.

It maye sound dumb, but I think love is achieved by trust, a open relationship, and the wilingness to adjust to whatever may be thrown ur way. If you are wiling to do these, then i think one may have found Love.
One has to reliase that he or she can not control the other, or control youre feeligns in any form or shape. One can only strive to be as open as possible, and hope that everything he or she does, from the most smallest things, good or bad, will appeal in the others eyes and hold on to that.

Love is different for every singel person, not any two people have the same definition of Love, it takes on a different shape and form for many people, but this is mine I think. I am only 17 year's old and my girlfriend is almost 2 years younger, but I feel according to my above stated defintion that I am comming close to love. I just hope that my view of love does broaden and I cna expand that definition for just a little longer, so I may see Love in its true beauty. throb.gif

there have been too many times i thought i loved someone, only to find that it wasnt true love. it just happens, two stupid teenagers think they love each other, think they will grow old together, then a few months later cant stand each other and want someone new to love. its amazing, how people can love someone one day, then the next day have totally different feelings.

I think love is somthing like nothing else in the whole world...it is a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
whether you like guys or gals , or both it just does not matter.

Love is a mixure between companionship and sexual attraction
you need both to have a healthy relationship.

Im not sure but i think a sexual attraction is that feeling you get in side your stomach when you see someone you think is hot.
Good companionship i think is when you care for someone a lot and put their needs above your own.

as for learning love and being born with it....i think it is a little bit of both..
you are born with the ability to love and the need to be loved but sure you can live with out it if that is all you know

you learn love from your parents that kiss you and tell you they love you and from movies....alot from them! lol...like info on sex and the relationships but i think you need to follow your heart instead of your sexual urges....which teenagers do too much these days

i know a person who doesn't believe in love. she thinks that its just lust, infatuation, and/or attraction all mushed together.

love...love is so hard to define. it isn't that feeling you get in your stomach when you see that crush. i think..its how far you'll go for a person. "till death do us part".
sacrifice, i guess.

I think love is when you care about someone a lot. But then again you can care about a family member a lot and love them. So to tell you the truth theres really no right or wrong defenition to love.

to me; love is when you want the best for that person; even if you arent going to be part of their lives. and if you are willing to sacrafice your life for theirs. and i dont think you learn to love. i think it comes naturally.

Everyone has a different perception of "love."

To someone, "hate" might actually be passionate, and bring them "love."

*waves* hello dear.

Anyway, I agree with what you said. There can be no debate about what love is and isn't because there is no right or wrong answer based on factual evidence. Beauty isn't the only thing that's in the eye of the beholder.

i wasn't sure if this was supposed to go in debate since i guess it really isn't gonna be much of a debate? anyways, i wanted know if you think its true that if you know the definition of love then you aren't in love because love isn't exactly something you can put into words, it's basically undescribable. i heard that somewhere and i think it's true. haha i think it might've been in here, not sure. happy.gif

ah, sorry for being unclear about what i was trying to ask.

My definition would be to like something so strongly that there is no question or in your mind about it.

Eh.. my definition of love is compatibility between two creatures. I think it's partly scientific as well. just when you feel like you have someone to be with unconditionally and feel comfortable with. Unfortunately.. I wouldn't know too accurately considering I've never been in true love. At least I don't think so.

When you think about someone Night and Day
When you CANT stop thinking about them
When you dream about a realationship with him
When your stumoch flutters everytime you see him.
When you cant find the right things to say around him.

Yet, people gave you definitions anyway. Thus, similar topics merged. And because you were, to quote you, "unclear" about what you wanted to ask, I merged it. What else seems to the problem?

My response in the original thread was a quote from Oscar Wilde: To define is to limit. Love isn't supposed to be defined, else we limit it. So it's not necessarily true that if you can define love you're not in love, it could mean that there is a limit to your love. That would be my answer to your edited question.

Basically
LOVE:
It`s a short word, easy 2 spell ,difficult 2 define, impossible 2 live without.....
Love is something that is great when you`ve found it, and hurts when u lose it...

There is no true definition of love. I just think in general, it is basically a true commitment to someone. ^_^

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

In response to the recent topic of true love, I want to see what people's definitions of true love are. Mine is:

First of all, you have to be able to love yourself before you love anyone else, that is what I think. People have to be content with themselves before they can be content being with another human being. People without self-confidence most likely end up being DEPENDENT on the other person. They often mistake it that dependency for love when it's not. You should never have to say "I need this person". Need is a dependent word and there is no place for that in true love.

This also leads to people who love only because it gives them an identity. These people say things like "What am I without them?" They're only looking for relationship because it gives them a place to be and an identity to assume. These people go crazy when someone leaves them; they start losing all senses of themselves; they lose all track of their lives. They instantly seek out any person who would take them. This isn't true love.

My second point has to do with true love. When you truly love someone, you must be able to do that even when you're not with them. Just because someone decided not to be with you, it shouldn't take away the love you have for that person. And that love should always be there, forever. You have to be able to look back at that person after 10 years of no contact and still say you love them. Sure they may have changed but deep down they're the same person and if you truly love them, that's what you love, not the outer layer.

Lastly, true love is by CHOICE. Falling in love isn't true love because it's not something you wanted to happen. If you can fall into love you can fall out of love. At first things may seem like love but it doesn't really develop until you've known that person very well. After you've seen all their faults, you can choose to love them or not and that's when it counts. You choose love, love doesn't choose you.

Yeah it's kinda long and I don't expect anyone to read it but I'll read all of yours cause I'm like that.

^ I sure hope not. I "love" what you defined up there. _smile.gif

I haven't really thought about the fact that people who "need" someone else isn't really loving them, only depending. This point finally made me realize i'm not in love. sad.gif

I like the "love by choice" idea. In the past, everyone's been saying "i fell in love with him just like that" but if you really think about it, it would be "i fell in love with his looks just like that" because you can only "love" someone by their looks in a split second. It takes more than that to know them and love them, right?

True love is something that makes two people think they are pretty even when nobody else does. It also makes them sit close together on a bench even when there's plenty of room. It's something which makes two people very quiet when you are around. And when they think you're gone they talk about roses and dreams. And that's all I know about love until I grow up! -- Tommy, age 10

Nine Ways to Tell if Your Love Is Real


You feel good. A good relationship makes you feel good about yourself.
You look forward to spending time with your partner. You don't need to be with other people or go to events to avoid being alone together. You enjoy spending quality time together even when it's quiet.
You respect your partner. You hear yourself bragging about your partner. You say things like: "My husband is a really talented singer-songwriter." If you find that you're always talking about yourself, you're not focused on your partner or the relationship.
You're interested in what your partner thinks. You ask your partner's opinion about issues that are important to you. It's OK if he or she disagrees with you.
You accept your partner's quirks. Everyone has them. Even you! If your partner's quirks are endearing or tolerable, you're in good shape. If they really bother you, you should look more closely at the relationship.
You're able to work through your problems. It's natural to have some bumps in the relationship road to true bliss. People in healthy relationships see disagreements as a chance to learn more about their partner. However, if you're creating problems, or if you think every fight is the "big one" leading to a breakup, you should probably rethink your relationship.
You feel safe. You're not afraid of losing your partner.
You can't explain why you're together. Many people coordinate their lives so that they have to be together. But ask yourself if you're together because you truly want to be. If the answer is "yes," then you'll probably stay together. If it's "no," you're bound to have problems — if you haven't already.
You don't compare your partner to others. There will always be someone more beautiful, smarter or more athletic than your partner, but you don't care because you only want to be with him or her.

I guess definition is a bad word to use. I'm not trying to define what love is, not trying to tell people how they should think of it. Love is an experience, and each time it comes it changes in your mind. In the ned, you just have to feel it, no one can tell you what it should be.

Yeah, basically love is an experience, not a definetion. People have different perspectives on what love is, so it also can't be defined. But if you think love is falling in "love" with a hott guy or a hott girl, then you are sad.

Lol Yeea i know what you mean.

Heres part of what i think love means, to me.

The warm feeling that infiltrates your body when your with them or you hold their hand.
The way your breath is caught in your chest when they look at you in your eyes, like theyre staring deeper into them. Sounds so cliche, but into your soul
How no matter what, you always are there for them through it all
You feel sad even before they leave

And my last but not least [ & also my favorite ]
The smile you get ... Just from thinking about them. You know, that huge grin that spreads across your face you dont even realize is there until you notice you were staring at nothing with a big retarded grin on your face.

Theres so much more. But thats all i felt like typing Lol.

You're true love is like your other half, the part of you that you never knew was missing. True love is like breathing for the first time. True love is patient, kind, and everlasting.

Infatuation says: "Let's get married right now!"
Love says: "It's alright, I can wait."

love, is one of those things that you could argue what it is and your never truly goin to find the answer. its one of those inevitable and unexplainable things in life. my friend and i argued, just a few days ago whether love was a choice or feeling. (i think feeling)


one of my other friends who is currently in love said
QUOTE
its just something that happens. its definately a feeling because you when you make choices, you can also prevent them. when you get a feeling, you can't help it.. its just something thats there.
<- its totally true

Infatuation says: "Let's get married right now!"
