Cux answered Sunday August 17 2008, 7:24 pm: There are two types of love: friendship love and romantic love. It's like when you say "I love you" to your best friend. It doesn't mean you love them romantically and you want to marry them. It just means you care for them tremendously. Romantic love is love you generally only feel for one person at a time and its the "I am in love with you" not just "I love you", if that makes sense.
Also, love really is something teenagers think they know but rarely don't. I don't know romantic love yet. I know friendship love, like for my family and friends and God.
You really aren't in love, in my opinion, unless you are soon-to-be married or are already married.
Peeps answered Sunday August 17 2008, 12:14 am: Love means caring about someone more than you care about yourself.
This means you look after the other person first. You let them have the better one of something. You do things just to make them happy, even if it's an inconvenience to you. Your first thoughts no longer revolve around yourself, but the other person instead. You take care of your loved one before yourself.
It doesn't matter what the person looks like, but you want them to have good health. It doesn't matter how the person walks, but you don't want them to be made fun of by others and get hurt. It doesn't matter if the person is deathly afraid of something, but you want to help them overcome their fears.
That right there is where a lot of people get lost about love. I hear all the time, "If he loves you then it won't matter if you're fat! Don't change yourself for someone!" If he loves me, then it WILL matter. He will want me to be healthy and happy. It would make him happy for me to live an extra year longer if I was healthier. You should WANT to change yourself for someone--to give them what happiness they deserve in life.
You try your best to be what the person deserves, whether that's a better mother, father, husband, wife, brother, sister, etc. You change what needs to be changed and improve what needs improving.
As my loving boyfriend says, when you wake up in the morning, the first thought to come into your head is, "What can I do today to bring a smile to [LOVE]'s face and happiness to his/her heart?"
I really think that's all that love is, and it seems that today a lot of people don't realize that. A lot of people claim to have love for someone but they never think if anyone but themselves--I've always wondering how in the world that can be loving.
I know I'm loved. I don't hear it all day, every day, but I know it so well. I don't have to hear that I'm loved because I have proof every day. I'm thought of first by someone. I'm taken care of by someone. Someone does whatever he can for me without asking anything in return--simply because he LOVES me.
I hope I've helped you see another perspective on love and what it means. If you have any other questions about this sort of thing, please feel free to ask me :) [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
lalapeep answered Friday August 15 2008, 11:29 pm: I personally think that falling in love is like describing water. You just cannot explain it no matter how hard you try. It is just this wonderful feeling and you catch yourself smiling just by thinking of that person. When you're not with that person it feels almost unnatural, like you're missing a part of you (cliche I know) but it really is true. Sometimes you won't be able to sleep because all you can do is think of that person and counting down the time until you see them again. Everything may not be perfect, but love is irrational and it doesn't always make sense. Trust me, you'll know when you've fallen in love :] [ lalapeep's advice column | Ask lalapeep A Question ]

Just like the quote from my favorite movie EVER! A Walk To Remember:
"Love is like the wind,you can't see it but you can feel it".
Brandi_S answered Friday August 15 2008, 9:54 pm: To me, when I love a person, they will have their own little piece of my heart forever.
Such as, my love for my sons, my love for my husband, my love for my family.
