The Official Love Thread.

[arcticwolf]

This thread is an attempt to dissect, analyze, scrutinize, demystify, understand the feeling of love. We will not tackle the ultimate meaning of the word here, but rather as it pertains to the romantic relationship between man and a woman, I'm not homophobic so here it goes ( or man and man, or woman and woman in case of gay TA members ). Tell us what it means to you. What are the characteristics of romantic love, it's flavor, it's joys and tortures! Children and infantile TA members go play in the sandbox, don't post here!

Its as if you found someone who finally understands you. The person who unconditionally loves your inner self as he/she loves him/herself. As your instinct of self preservation does not allow you to think ill of your self most of the times, the person you love should think about you as they think about themselves.
The lovers should be two little stars out there on the night sky, to whom every potential young boy and girl can watch for as an inspiration that love exists even in the darkest of times, direst of places and above any earthly shackles a person is bound to.

I don't think another person is needed to feel love....I've felt it before without being in a relationship. You know your heart chakra in the center of your chest? I think love is when you feel that energy very intensely coming from that area and surrounding your whole body. I think that feeling just intensifies if you have a person to share it with (romantically....).

I know it when i feel it. Cant put it in Words.

We never love anyone. We love only our idea of what someone is like. We love an idea of our own; in short, it is ourselves that we love.
This is true of every kind of love. In sexual love we seek our own pleasure through the intermediary of another's body. In non-sexual love, we seek our own pleasure through the intermediary of an idea we have. The onanist may be an abject creature but in truth he is the logical expression of the lover. He is the only one who neither disguises nor deludes himself.
Relations between one soul and another, expressed through such uncertain, divergent things as words exchanged and gestures made, are of a strange complexity. The very way in which we come to know each other is a form of unknowing. When two people say 'I love you' (or perhaps think or reciprocate the feeling), each one means by that something different, a different life, even, perhaps, a different colour and aroma in the abstract sum of impressions that constitute the activity of the soul.

I sometimes think "love" is overrated. True love in my opinion doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is trade.

Oh come on, you can't be this disappointed yet! You are very young so all is ahead of you! It must exist since so many experience it, albeit most on the temporary bases.

There has been some feelings in the centre of y chest but it reminded me "heart pains" that I experienced years ago. My joints must be doing bad again. So much for my heart chakra

Nope I learned that love is business. I think I will never feel attracted to someone. I think I would rather go with an ugly older man that can offer me the world.
