So, because you haven't experienced love, you think it must not be real? I have experienced commitment. I have experienced teamwork. I have experienced the desire to protect and care for another. I have experienced lust and infatuation. But, I haven't experienced love in the way I understand it's supposed to be. Maybe I'm simply wrong about how it feels, but it seems no knows how it feels because no one has been able to tell me. Saying it's different for everyone is a cop out. If it is a real human emotion then we'd all have similar experiences with it. If not, Why not? What you have had may have been love, you just didn't label it. Who know... IMO, love is subjective because it can mean different things to different people and I think that people's experience (of love), differs. I know that I have only had one truly, madly, deeply person in my life to date. I have been in love since but it has not been the same. cop out? maybe..but you know when it happens...when you experience it. |

This thread is reminding me of when I was about 10 years old and I had questions about god my mom and dad couldn't answer. They took me to see our preacher and he told me a bunch of BS that I saw through even at that young age. What I took away from the experience was that god is a hoax perpetuated by people that profit from the ignorance of others.
I'm starting to feel the same way about love and this saddens me. I wasn't happy about losing god and I'm not happy about losing love. But, I am above all else a realist. I put my faith in real things and do not depend on fantasies to make me happy. |

Love is having this feeling for that person that no matter what BS you are experiencing they still put up to it each day you see that person they never get old or feel tired of being around them whenever you hear there voice its puts a smiles on your face no matter what the situation maybe. Real love is seeing that person crippled, blind, deaf old or shriveled up & still sees that person beautiful with strong sexual urges.
That's love to me. |

You've said you've never been in love, so how are you losing love if you never had it? No one can tell you how to tell if you've been in love. It's something that you'll have to figure out for yourself. If you say you haven't, then there's not much others can do. |

You've said you've never been in love, so how are you losing love if you never had it? No one can tell you how to tell if you've been in love. It's something that you'll have to figure out for yourself. If you say you haven't, then there's not much others can do. No, what I've said was that I've never felt what most people seem to call love. Some powerful emotional force that causes men to move mountains. What I call love is an act of the will. It's about commitment. |

I do agree that commitment is part of what happens when you're in love, however love is not simply the act of commitment.
