Have you ever been in love? What was it like to love someone who loved you back? Frankly, I have to say I'm a bit envious. Would you rather go for people with beauty or the brains? Many would say smarts before looks, but you really can't judge because it's the look that influences the whole time! What do you think?

Being in love is like a medicine to all your sadness... When I'm sad because I failed in an exam or that my teacher scolded me for making mistakes in our rotation, when I think of my boyfriend, currently my partner, it's like all of my problems are fading away. He makes me smile even in little things that he does. I'm telling you that being in love is and being loved back in return is like hitting on the jackpot. For me, looks doesn't matter really or even the brains. I actually married someone who doesn't have both but I'm not saying that he's dumb, it's just that he is not that smart..:)... But actually the first time I saw him I was like "Oh my gosh he's totally ugly I might as well turn my back.."... That was how I was back then but when I started knowing him and when we got out more often, I became so comfortable with him. And eventually to me he is the most handsome guy in the world. He is very talented by the way, a singer, a composer and a musician... I became more in love everyday...:)

Ya.. thats true looks always influences our judgement whenever we are given some options. What we call as 'love at first sight' is basically 'crush at first sight'. From my past experience, a balance with beauty and brain helps in the long lasting of a relationship. Because only looks can't manage the world around you, at the same time only brain can't make u feel appealing..

Yes I did.....Being in love is the most wonderful feeling I ever felt in this lifetime. There is always music in the air, there is always a song in your heart, the world around seems like a paradise, everything is beautiful. Wherever you go whatever you do, you feel that you are not alone, you feel the presence of that person you love. You are always inspired, you are always happy, you feel that you are in another world. It's like a fantasy but it is actually a reality as it is happening to you. In regard to the traits that you mentioned whether beauty or brains, it is not love. It is admiration, you admire the beauty or you admire the intelligence. It can also be attraction, you get attracted with the looks or with the brains. Attraction fades but love will go on. Love has no condition at all, it is like a virus that you catch, you don't know why, no explanation why you love that person. It is not intentional, the feeling will just strike you with no invitation. It will engulf your whole being, and you will feel powerless to control it. Even how many times you take that person out of your mind, you will not succeed, as it will continue to haunt you. But....but....but.....once that person loves you back, treated you with love and care, treated you so special, treated you the most important person in his/her life, you won't ask for anything anymore. Everything will be perfect around you, individual differences will be dealt accordingly because love conquers all!

When you're in love, it feels like the whole world shines upon you. Each day's like dedicated toward the person you love. Everytime you wake up, you are inspired to go up to your bed early because of excitement to be with that person yet again. Everything seems so perfect and attainable when that person's around. :) My girlfriend and I have just celebrated our 2nd Anniversary last 8th of December, and we're still into each other just like the first time we fell in love. Nothing has changed, but it's like the love grows stronger each time that passes by. :) For me, I really don't get attracted by just the looks alone, I also make sure that the person has a good conduct and intellect because for me she earns a lot of respect when she possesses those traits. :)

Hi starrtwillightamber! Yes..!I'm always in love not just to a "partner" but to all people around me, but in your case being in love to someone you really like is that your wanting the best to both you. And it doesn't matter weather of that looks or smart because someday it will fade away unlike the inner beauty of that person will remain as is.

I have been living with my boyfriend now for five years and each year I find we are much more in love. As for looks that is not important as the looks and a bad personality simply do not mix. Sure I do appreciate intelligence to a certain level as I find I am very intelligent in certain areas where as I find he is intelligent in other areas. So it is a combination that works well for both.

Wow this is a question that I often think about it. Ok when you are young it's all emotional. Then you get those love feelings for someone you live with for quite a while. Yes I would say looks play a big part but eventually it fades with time. I think it's brains that many do not really focus on at all, don't you say? In fact I have never heard someone say they fell in love with their intelligence.
