Irony

I havent read all the replies, so sorry if im repeating!

No, i dont think u can be in love with a stranger, only attracted, or in love with the idea of love.


A true test of loving someone means knowing all their flaws and still feeling same, if u dont know their flaws, how do u know u love them?

I believe some people can know all someone's flaws and still be attracted, or in love with the idea of love, or the relationship.

All the same, like you said, that's not genuine love.

Excellent point. I'd forgotten about this possibility.

Surely that is more of a friendship bond/love than romance? no?



Then that is delusion imo.

Hi maintance conditional love huh? So i suppose love is a product of social adjustedment for your benefit....thats called self love. Some people are not very intuitive about others these may not experience love at first site. Also with the cinderella complex it may be hard to find anything tolerable in general.

Also for those not aware many factors play into "love" you are just in denial by idealiszation of the concept. Long term couples have been found to have similar ratios of facial features, pheromones, and other chacaterisics that are precicved on a subconcious level, producing desire and a bias when observing that person, as in not seeing the negative aspects. Love has everything to do with chemistry and neurology not your idealisms. Ive heard peopel say what its not, well you can exlude the concept of love at first sight simply by defining love. It is a feeling, not a evaluation, or a social standing, or access to resources, or a steping stone for your benefit. Similar behavioral patterns are found in long term couples as well, this may indicate similar neuro chemistry. Love at first sight is completely possible, however if you idealize your defintions and think of relationships as standards, which love seems > long term in reagrds to intensity. Its a biological reaction, not a set of values you scrutinize for whatever reason. I will say love is the subjective experience of intense desire and idealization of the individual of interest. This effect fades over time. Love at first sight is farmore common than love at last sight.

Thread ender. Muhahaha

NOT POSSIBLE

Uh... no. Not possible in the least. Heck- the chances of it being possible with someone you know is doubtful at best.

I dont think that it is so much as the "love"
concept that stigmatizes our minds
which makes all of us think we are or could
but more the wanting to embrace the aura
that they exude, stirring these emotions
the feeling of longing to be accepted by someone
to experience the hurt the joys the delicasies
of it all, knowing you had a "chance"
for a bleak moment in time with ..

unparralled epiphamy

I believe the term you are looking for is called lust....

True love only comes with time because it is the only thing that can withstand the test of time

lust at first sight.---> build on it ----> lasting relationship = love.

so love at first sight could exist. I guess I have to retract my previous statement.

Maybe we should put it "budding" love at first sight. How you nurture it is entirely up to both o ya.

offcourse thats infatuation.

Like hot news anchor women or on other tv shows

totally agree!

pretty sure i heard that from a movie. however-i dont agree completely that idealism or it being just a feeling has nothing to add to the concept of love. they are traits we look for in a partner,aswell as physical features and hormonal response. since we were able to start discovering who we were and what we want-said 'evaluations and social standing' started being discovered,defined and programed into our long-term matchmaking radar. that, to a point of subconsciously being common foundations-like computers have. the next step-more specific charecturistics-helps us weed out prospects-or we'd 'love' or be attracted to everyone. we are each in ourselves miraculously different! wow! but yes-loving someone and being in love are two different depth of the heart.
