Soap Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Mornin' everyone. I was just thinking the other day about something very important...what does "love" feel like? How do you know if you are "in love?" So I propose we all write down how we feel when we're in love. This oughtta be eye opening and fun! I'll start: Love is: -fuzzy -warm -addictive -when I want to spend more time with that special someone youreturn!
EnigmaXOXO Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Love feels like .... "Home." The best and only word I can use to sum it up.
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Love feels like you are on a cloud floating thru air.. Warm and fuzzy.. It feels good to be accepted..
lindya Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 When you are completely and utterly comfortable in eachothers company - as comfortable as you are on your own, in fact - but there's still a nice sexual spark there.
AndrewJ Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 "When you are completely and utterly comfortable in eachothers company - as comfortable as you are on your own, in fact - but there's still a nice sexual spark there." that would do it for me

NYCmitch25 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Websters Dictionary defines love as..... sorry, thats lame, I won't go there with technical details! (ha ha ha) I guess the truth in the matter is that love is different things to different people. A more healthy form of love is when you both feel an exclusive pair-bond built up over a good period of time. You feel despite the fact there are other smarter and better looking in the world (and always will be), all your interest is in your better half, who you feel totally secure with, you share ideas, you have similar goals, you feel comfortable in almost everyway, and you can't hardly picture being without them. Not surpisingly that it's similar to your feelings about your own family members (in most cases). That brings me to bad forms of "love"... More unhealthy forms of "love" are when people find other people who satisfiy some insecurity within themselves such as in abusive relationships -- the woman seeks an abusive man because it's the social language she learned from her own family. I guess I ended up getting technical, I guess it's because just saying "it's when you feel al gooy inside" isn't really a good enough answer if I were asking the question.
Outcast Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 it's because just saying "it's when you feel al gooy inside" isn't really a good enough answer Agreed.
thegoodhubbie Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 When I look at my honey my heart swells up and I feel warm from head to toe. Sometimes when I call her at work to ask her something silly, just hearing her voice arouses me. This past saturday night, we were lying in bed and she was in a talkative mood. I was tired and had no thought of having sex at all. We were just lying next to each other spooning and I was listening to what she had to say. Much of it was her telling me what a great weekend she was having and how happy she was and things like that. She was just sharing her thoughts with me and the more she talked -- the more she shared of herself -- the more I felt myself WANTING her, but it was from my heart. It was actually more powerful than it had been in a while and it progressed into the some of the best sex we had in a while! So I guess for me love "feels" warm , sensuous My wife tells me that sometimes it is so powerful she feels like she can reach out and touch it. As if it were a palpable presence in our lives
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Everybody has different answers..but they all are good feelings.. Love can also feel like sh*t and make you feel trapped if your relationship is on the outs.. That we all can agree on
Outcast Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 the more I felt myself WANTING her, but it was from my heart. It was actually more powerful than it had been in a while IMHO that's the definition of 'passion'
Rosalind Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Originally posted by A Fly onThe Wall Love feels like you are on a cloud floating thru air.. Warm and fuzzy.. It feels good to be accepted.. Aww...you beat me to it! That is EXACTLY how I describe being in love.
NYCmitch25 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Originally posted by A Fly onThe Wall Love can also feel like sh*t and make you feel trapped if your relationship is on the outs.. In that case it ceases to be love on your part... more like a one-sided type of love.

NYCmitch25 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Originally posted by A Fly onThe Wall Huh ? You were describing the bi-product of a relationship about to be broken up not what it feels like to be in love. Your statement would be the same as saying "jealousy is love" when really love can create jealousy but it actually isn't jealousy. Oh well.. I don't think that explanation helped... lol

It's more like a bi-product of like such as jealousy. No.. I was describing what love feels like while being in love when a relationship is failing.. Love doesn't cease to be love "Love can also feel like sh*t and make you feel trapped if your relationship is on the outs.." is what I said It feels like shi*

Soap Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Woah! W'eve had a heck load of replies. Anyways, another question, inspried by a fly on the wall... Is it possible to love someone without "liking" them??? It's a wierd situation, but I think it possible. In the same way some people "love" their abusive boy/girl friends. What do you guys think?
Outcast Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 You can have an addictive dependence on someone which you may think is 'love'.
jasong Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Love is when you can take a crap in the bathroom and your significant other walks in because she wants to talk. Now that's what I call true love!!!!

whichwayisup Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 In the right kind of relationship that has love, it shouldn't be hard. It still will hurt at times, but that is part of taking the chance of loving someone. The in wrong kind of relationship, it DOES hurt, waaay too much. Gives you insecurities, makes you feel alot of pain and heartache. Though, sadly, some good relationships are painful due to outside circumstances, like death. That's my worst fear, something ever happening to my husband...I never want to deal with that kind of pain. I saw my mom go through it when my dad died.
