Love
 
What are your ideas on love?

What is love to you?

Can you love two people at once?

What is "True Love"?

How can you tell if it is or if it isn't?


There's a lot on my mind...

i don't think a forum is the right place to try and figure out which girl you want to stay with or make any personal decisions on (if she cheated on you, dump her)

but to answer your questions:

ideas- i think love is fabricated out of weakness and dependancies, and for people who can't hold their own and need to rely on others

love to me- a waste of time, energy and money

double feature- of course you could love more than one person, parents, partner, even your cat if you so please, why you would let yourself love even one person is a mystery to me

"true" love - when you depend on a person more than others, kinda like being a true mooch

symtoms - you lose friends, talk endlessly on the phone, a weekend seems like a long time to not see someone, you spend more than 20 dollars on her/him in a course of 6 months

and as for clearing your mind, go for a walk, sit on your roof, and don't bring your problems to the public

I really do hope you fall in love some day just to show you how wonderful it is and how pathetic your view on it is. Love is not the junior-high-relationship like you seem to picture it.

My thoughts: love is almost entirely incomprehensible to someone who hasn't experienced it.

EMO ALERT. Seriously. I think it's sad how kids age 10-15 try to emulate something they can't understand yet.

I don't think that is a very fair assessment. Sure, the feelings are starting at that age, you kind of always love things, but looking at it from a mature perspective is something that well, takes time.

Funny thing about the abstract, it being rather difficult to draw down into the concrete, but if your view of love doesn't grow with you then it is reasonable to say you haven't encountered it yet.

I had thought I knew what it was, and who it would come from, and well, I am completely surprised, to put it into words terribly. So I suppose if you are putting what you feel against what you think love is and to redefine it, I'd say that you are beginning to uh, experience love.

Looking back now, I wouldn't say most of what I thought I loved before was genuine--but that is using my new working definition, not the old one.

Love is putting the seat down after you are done using the toliet.

A strong attachment to a person or thing. Placing your loved one's happiness before yours.

My thoughts exactly.


You have to have your heart broken, in order to know what love really is.

So if you are between the ages 12-15 and you start to say I AM IN LOVE
you might not know what it really is. You have to go through many tough things.

Well, thats how i learned what love truly is

Hackerboy603 06-13-2005 07:12 PM

good that SOME people are serious about this

Meteor858 06-13-2005 07:20 PM

Its strange cuz im in the middle of this... I have loved before but all that did was kill me inside and i used to openly accept love and search for it. But now... not so much and my views have kinda turned to what iamderajbackward said. Guido, Chardish, i have loved and all it brought me was pain so just SHUT UP!

Tonberry_Kid 06-13-2005 07:29 PM

Tonberry is in love(yes I do refer to myself in the third-person sometimes). And I'm only a wee age of 15. To explain it, mutual respect for another being, admiration, you keep things dear received, what goes on between you and whoever, stays between you and whoever, passion(physical attraction), willing to look at your relationship as it's gonna last forever(it's joint thing, gotta be mutual), and yes Jewpin, it is putting down the seat down when you're down using that lavatory.

Edit: I stole this info from my girlfriend, who is in psycology, and yes my friends. We feel everything in what I just stated.

GuidoHunter 06-13-2005 08:27 PM

Meteor, you're just in middle school (on the young side, too, I believe). There's a certain level of maturity necessary to even comprehend it and kids your age just don't have it. Don't get discouraged; something better can, and likely will, come along in the future.

That's so true, yet some people that age can understand it. Those people come along once in a blue moon.

But if you did understand it, you wouldn't be posting questions like this on an online forum, most of all a place like FFR. What you just oh-so-subtly said was that, regardless of what Guido had to say, you still understand it at your age. Personally, I disagree with the general scope of your comment. It takes a good portion of time and experience to determine what love is, at least in the sense that you're looking for. A ridiculously high proportion of high schoolers don't know what love is, and I would need a damn lot of convincing to believe that a middle school kid had a clue at best. I know that I personally had no idea whatsoever at that age.

Love is something that's very personal. It's pointless to try to describe it in any tangible sense, because it just won't give it justice when all is said and done. It can take on many different forms and many different levels, and it's possible to love someone that you have no intention of dating or marrying and aren't related to. It's all a matter of perspective, definition, and intention.

First of all, way to be a jerk (the only reason I stopped at jerk is because there's a filter). Step off and let this kid TRY and clear his head. He had a little trouble clearing it on his own, so he came here for help. While I don't agree with his decision, don't bash him for it. Secondly, drop the emo kid routine. There's enough of this crap in the world in general, even more so on the internet in general, and WAY more on this site in particular. We don't have mods throwing around EMO ALERTs for nothing. Third, go meet some wonderful person and fall for them and realize how stupid you are for writing that.

And fourth, twenty dollars in six months?! Damn, you are a greedy little boy, aren't you?

I used to respond that I don't know what love is... but I tihnk I do now... its amazing and miserable. Its when you care about someone so much that you can make yourself completely vulnerable to them... that you cna give yourself completely to them to do with as they will. Its a level of trust unparallelled with anything else that anyone can ever imagine. It is a state of being that dictates your actions.. I can only imagine what its like having a kid... that's got to be the ultimate.

That's not 100% true. I happen to be extremely mature for my age. I have had people actually mistake me for a senior in high school for how I act. Not everyone acts the way they should at their age.

Ps. I don't know how to use quote lol.

He's not saying that kids your age can't be mature, he's just saying there's a whole new degree of maturity that comes along with what love really is. You can be a mature person and not understand what love is at all. Actually, I don't know how old you are at all, but I was always considered to be exceptionally mature for my age starting at 6th grade. Now, being a recent graduate of high school, I can safely tell you that it was only two years ago that I understood what love really is. It's something that just takes time and experience, not raw maturity in itself.

P.S. You forgot to close the quote tag. Put "[/quote]" at the end of a quote to close it. Or, you know, just click the button at the bottom of post you want to quote.

<3 blah, that's one of the most, if not the most precise description of love I've ever read (or heard).

IMO, the image of what love should be reflected by our society sucks. Movies, books and TV shows show love as such an easy thing, where one always falls in love with the most beautiful girl (or guy), and it works so easily. It works so well that they just have to look at each other in the eyes, without even saying "I love you", and BOOM, they are having sex on the kitchen table. Love is nothing like that. If one were really in love, he woulnd't even be able to approach the desired person.

Love is something strong, and as blah said, it makes you vulnerable. You can't just come and think that at first sight, that person will be your lover and will kiss you just like that. Love involes time, questions, doubts, actions, observation, etc.

That's what I had to say.
