I will love you the same way you love me. I will make you happy because you made me happy. Do you agree this kind of love is actually observe by most of us? That Loving someone in return base on the intensity or level of love received is really happening in actual relationship? Let us set aside hypocrisy for once in our relationship if not all the time we wanted our love be reciprocated. We even sometimes ask ourselves what else can we do to love us back or do to us the things we did to them? Come-on, admit it a simple appreciation wouldn't work, it could bring a smile on our faces but deep inside in our hearts we wanted to feel the same way as they did. Isn't when they responded according to what we expected our love for them grows and going stronger? 'I love the way you love me' doesn't work all the time. "Love me the way I do" works sometimes.

In the matter of love relationship,each of the partners expects too much from each other.In most of the cases,the relations become so much unbalanced and unstable,the real purpose of the relationship is lost leading to painful ending.The real and genuine love does not demand anything to receive in return;it is simply intended to give and share.The process of giving naturally generates more value and happiness for both the partners. Thanks.

[quote]The real and genuine love does not demand anything to receive in return.[/quote] No one can contest to this but the thing is have we never expected or silently demanding something for our love ones? Haven't we sometimes cried, hurt or even cause our bad mood because of just the simple things we expect from them but never materialized?

Hi Lance, your statement is okay, but the thing is Love can't be begged or asked, it just happens, for what, which, why, whom we can't say. Then where is the question of all these out show put ups, smiling on the faces etc, wouldn't work out, it should be there in the heart, love belongs to the heart/soul/mind. There is no hard and fast rule that if you love some one they also should love you. These are all deep emotional feelings, not artificial. Love will bind the two people with a strong relationship. Have a good day.

Hi there Jotomy, I may have to agree with you although I believe this comment would be in response to the second paragraph of my post in which I mistakenly unlinked to the first one and lost the thoughts I wanted to imply. Pardon me for that but then again I would still like to know your stand when we are talking about intensity or level of love we expected from someone in response to love given to them.

Both don't work because there are conditions. The type of love I was looking for was unconditional. This means we both love each other regardless! And surprisingly I found it. Or I should say it found me! My guy loves me Just as much as I love him.I Never Had to say Love me the Way I love you. It just happened. I think it would be the beginning of the end to hear this from a partner.

Loving someone is not the one case between man and woman and I agree, if you love me and think about me as a friend, parent, neighbor or lover etc I love you the same way and I will do every thing to make you happy. This is very good feeling when you try to make someone happy.

I do believe that love is often a reciprocal relationship, but not always. I don't want to hear.."I love you, because you love me." I want to know what it is about me that you love. Sometimes, it is qualities in others that we find loving, and is so easy to love. But loving someone just because they love you? What about their qualities? Their attributes? You are right though, a simple appreciation does not mean that love can co-exist between two individuals.

"I love you because you love me" Hearing those words alone doesn't sound love for me coming from a partner. What I want to imply there is loving someone back base on the degree or level of love that given to you.

There are different types of love. I think what your are referring to is the love which is present in relationships. I believe that no one can truly reciprocate the exact amount of love to anyone. We all have our own ways of loving someone. I for one am giver and I enjoy loving my partner even if she can't love me the same way as I love her. It would be nice to be loved back by a partner but for me it is better to see my partner happy than to expect love in return from her.

I think we expect people to love us in the way that we love them. unfortunately, it can not always work out that way.

My best answer to this is stop making love complicated. You take everything your feeling and enjoy it and trust that the person you are in love with loves you as well.
