What is love?

Katt_knome_hobbit · 05-31-2003, 03:05 PM

Is love wanting to go to bed with someone when you dream of kissing them?

Or is love wanting to just be in someone's presence and dreaming of giving them an eternial hug?

Your thoughts?

love (in my opinion) is caring about someone so much you completely overlook all their flaws

Love is willing to die for that person (if it ever came to that)

I agree completely.
When you are willing to do anything ... even if the person (or especially when) the person doesn't ask you to do so

So all love is being willing to die for someone.

How do you narrow it down to a specific type of love?

I guess that was my real question.

Friendship is also being willing to die for someone.

What is the difference?

when you're friends with someone long enough you love them, not in a bf/gf kind of way, like a brother or a sister, or mother, or a father, or basically like family.

How long do you have to be friends before you love someone?

There are several threads related to love around here. The one that came to mind was this one. However, there is another one here. I'm sure there are others.
