The nature of Love?

Do we love people or love being 'in love'?
Do we love giving and receiving affection or give and receive it because we love and are in love?
Would this not explain why we can love different people?

Oh I don't know I am tiered and upset I am sure I could be more coherent...

Well thinking about theses questions...
Of course I enjoy being in love..
And I am very much in love.
My bf makes me feel things I've never felt before.
I'm not sure how to explain.

It's a tough balance to strike. Being in love is wonderful, but not if you're ignoring harmful things about the person you love. And loving someone is also wonderful, unless it becomes dependency or sacrifice to the point of causing yourself pain.

And the other person has to be careful of the balance, too. There's no black and white with love; it's all gray area. I guess that's why each relationship is unique. There has to be the right amount of loving the individual and, well, "in-love-ness." To care, without losing yourself, and with feeling that the other person cares too -- that's the challenge, I guess.

I'm rambling. I guess people have rambled about love ever since people were able to form words.

No relationship is flawless, sure -- be wary of anyone you love but don't argue with -- but it's about what the two of you value, together. Can't be one giving more than the other.

Just my opinion but love is all about balance, give and take and complementing each other, accepting that you're different people and yet in a way the same. You share the same highs and lows, you appreciate the good times and you hold hands and work hard to get through the difficult times. In every way you are a team and you can beat anybody hands down

I love being in love and I love being loved back.

^^^ So beautifully said Mrs. D

Right on Helen!!
Me and Michael are the same and yet different.
We get each other. And as individuals we are far from perfect but as a couple we are perfect because we know how to make things work.
I'm no expert by all means but I'm proud of my relationship with him.
And there is total honesty. Whether it hurts my feelings or not. We say what we gotta say, deal with it and move on.
I may depend on him alot but that's because I've been alone and being in his company is way much better than being alone
Now I'm rambling hahah.

That just about covers it! Congrats to you, Mrs. D., and to the Mister. That's what my Fella and I aim for, too.

I look at it from a bio-chemical stand point. Not much to say there.
