What is love?

I hate to say this, but RedDan is wrong. What they're describing is a crush. Still pleasant but most certainly not the same thing as love. A common misconception, but it's important to learn that you don't have to have a crush on somebody to want to go into a relationship with them, in the same way that you can love somebody that you're not in a relationship with. Actually, a crush is a rather bad thing to base love on, real love should be based on trust or understanding, not fear or pressure.

Many people have tried to describe what love is. Most of them have failed. All i know is that if you love someone then you would do anything for them, and you trust that they would do the same for you. You understand each other and when you're together you're comfortable enough just to speak your mind.
 
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails

Hate to micturate on your bonfire, but that's lust. The "butterfly effect" (see what I did there?) is a result of blood supplies being diverted from less vital functions (like digestion and higher brain functions - light-headed, tongue-tied, incoherent speech?) toward blood-intensive functions that your body is hoping to perform imminently.

Couldn't agree more. And you realise it even more when you lose that someone, cry as they walk away or lose sleep over them.

On a cheerier note, it's when you repeatedly wake up next to them with a smile on your face and think you are the luckiest person alive to have them in your life.

That's good, it's quite true in that 'you don't know what you've got 'till is gone' and as you said you do realise it more when you lose that person. :(

your talking ******** mate.

Ive been married to my lady wife for more than 10 years (you get less for murder) and only last week I had to meet her at a function as I parked my car and walked towards my destination I could see her waiting for me outside the building and when I saw her I immediatley got the butterfly feeling when I saw her.

Sod all to do with lust.

Of course I do were married 10 years its a given that I'm gonna get a Jump on a regular basis but thats not why I have feelings of warmth towards her I'd still love her if she didnt want to have sex with my Job I'm too tired myself for a Jump.


Its because she looks after me and my children and is a realy nice decent Human Being. I'm blessed many arent.

I'm sure your wife would love to hear that, but it's not ********, it's physiological fact. Well, theory, but then so's gravity & evolution. Just because you don't immediately get your rage on doesn't disprove it - it's a preemptive reallocation of blood flow, not arousal.

When I have returned from a business trip abroad and havent seen my kids for months those butterflys I feel in my Gutty Wutts when I'm picking them up from school as a suprise is a subliminal symptom of Lust ? :eek:

Yeah right. You fail to convince me. One minute you are saying that the butterfly effect is Lust then you say it's a preemptive reallocation of blood flow, not arousal.

Do not Lust and Arousal go together ?

I'm confused.
