love is a need....proven fact.. a newborn baby will die with out affection...we all need to be loved and to love, that is our purpose..now a "perfect" love is a desire


I would like to examine this.

Hunger is a need. If you fulfil it, however, hunger goes away. Fulfilled need -- what is that? A need? A need disappears when you fulfil it.

Love, on the other hand, gets stronger when it's fulfille.

I'd call love a destiny, bliss, the gift of gods/nature, the eternal reason, the reason to emerge and leave chaos behind, and not leave your lover's behind.

I dunno. What is love? It's certainly not need and not desire. It's much more than those.

Okay. Goof is gonna get serious here for a moment.surprised :laughing:

Anyways, I don't "need" to be in love. I don't need to fall in love. But, that is the ultimate desire for us all (I would think). I desire to meet a woman who will be the love of my life. And, I believe that it will happen for me. I thought I had once, and I was wrong. Now, I am dating, and while I did just get out of a relationship, I realize that even with that one failing, that giving up is not an option. I easily could. But, deep down, my desire to be with a woman who holds my gaze when she walks into a room, makes me laugh at the silly things she does, can handle me when I am stubborn, and will work with me to fix problems as they occur...that desire keeps my hope alive that I will meet her one day. Doesn't have to be tomorrow, or next year. Heck, I have no idea when it will happen. But I do believe, and have faith in this belief, that I will meet her one day.

Basically, I feel that if you "need" it, then you always find it in the wrong places. Oh, this guy was nice to me, told me he loved me, now I feel special so I need this love from him. Yeah, that is nice, but most of the time it turns out that the dude just wants the booty, and will smooth his way in anyway he can. And, women do this to men too. My point is that being needy of love, I feel, tends to create more heartache. But, if you desire it, and you really want it, and you are willing to not lose hope in finding him/her, then you are truly wanting to experience the most that love can give you. I might be wrong on this, but eh, it is my two cents worth. I'm out.

:heart: Is love a need or a desire?:heart:


Love as in ... gotta have the sex with it love? Or love in general -- my cat loves me and I'm surviving just fine.

Now desire does not equal love -- now you're talking LUST, um-hmm.love
