This "Love" thing is confusing me.....

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.

I tend to agree. Love and lust get confusing for me, as well as trying to make yourself love someone or trying to make them love you.

But who really knows what love is anyway.

Well when you have a friend who has become more then a friend, but neither of you is in love...etc...

That sort of stuff,

confusing

I know exactly where you are coming from, Dr. - and yes, it's extremely confusing. Especially when that friend has been your best friend for 10 years. It makes for pretty interesting thoughts of the future in one's head.
 
I'm confused too. I'm always falling in love with my best friends' girlfriends. Why I do I want the wrong person everytime?!?

And I know where you're coming from, too SG

. Although I believe that I do know what love is, it's just that I've yet to experience it's true romantic form.

The love I do know is that no matter what my friend does, where she goes or who she's with, whether she's sick or healthy, whether she's feeling down or on top of the world, I will always be there for her, supporting her in every way I can and doing my best to make sure she's happy. And I know she'd do the same for me.

That, to me, is love. Not romantic love maybe, but unconditional I-will-be-there-no-matter-what love.

Holy shite. I'm going through that exact scenario.

Thanks to great books like "The Road Less Travelled", I now know what Love is.

Love is not the "puppy-dog, love at first sight, walking on the moon, damn I want me some of that, ohhhhhh she is so HOT" high that crosses my mind when I see an attractive woman.

That's lust. That's attraction. That's infatuation.

... dammit... Unfortunately that is not love.

Love is sacrifice.

It's hard to learn. At least for me.

I never experienced love until my fiance (I've never had any previous boyfriends or anything like that). For those of you who don't know, we met online over 4 years ago. We finally met in person earlier this year.

Though it can be risky meeting people from on the Internet at times, what was nice about this was that we were attracted to each other for all of the right reasons. We didn't spend 4 years talkin' to each other on the Net and the phone because we were physically attracted to each other...we talked because we truly cared about each other. We also learned so much about each other.

However, for the record, after meeting in person...I am also very physically attracted to him.

But I do know that it's the real thing. Even knowing that it may be over a year before I see him again...that's fine...because I love him, and I know that when we are finally able to be together again that it will be worth the wait.

Gosh Diemen, you said it well..

I just happened to have married my best friend..So Paul now has become along with my kids, the focus of my life..

When you want to make the other person happy and put them ahead of yourself, well then that to me is true love..

I am quite lucky though, I still feel lust when I look at my husband, and attach that with the pure love that comes with it, then you got something spectacular.

Paul, when you read this, remember that Tuesday is garbage night next week..

Sorry to disagree with you, but True and healthy Love IS NOT "blindness".

It is honest and very very open. It is knowing someone intimately and not being blind to what that person is and what that person does... and still choosing to love that person regardless.

If I am correct, "Love Is Blindness" is about the terrorism and bombings in N. Ireland. How these people can be "blind" to the evil they do, because of the "love" they have for their... whatever. Their "religion". Their politics.
It's insanity.

Just my two cents... yet again!

Peace

Well said, TC, well said.
 
Ok, I'm just being totally misunderstood in this forum. Can anyone take a play on words??


I do know what love is, cause I've been in it before. I was with someone who understood me, who was open and honest and took me as I was but who didn't have blinders on.

You may disagree with that too, but I'm not sorry. It's how I felt and how he felt, and we made it work just fine.

April,
I never said that you were "wrong". I said I disagreed with your opinion. Your opinions and beliefs are yours and you have every right to express them and NOT apoligize for them IF you don't feel that you have erred in your assessment.
My opinions are mine too. I simply make my point because these threads and forums are about discussion, expression and opinion.
I also explained my point of view to back up my claim.
I don't claim to know everything (and I DON'T!!) and I'm just out here tryin' to figure life out, as I'm sure you are also.

... that's all it is.

"Opinion".
"Discussion".
No big whoop.

I apoligize if I upset you.
I'm also glad that you HAVE experienced real love in your life... You've been blessed.
I hope one day to find what you already have had.
Perhaps... well, MOST LIKELY, you too will choose to love again.

... it happens, ya know!

Peace!

Woah, that sounds pretty kinky! Never tried that one

As for me, I think that the most confusing thing ever is happening to me.
I cannot choose. I like them both and it's soo hard. There are things I like in one of them and different things in the other one. If I could just mould them into one... But that's selfish! Grrrrrr!!!!!!!
