What do you think of love

Hi paopaotang, there are different ways of how love is viewed. For some, love is based on feeling; but for some, love is a responsibility. We not only love based on our feeling, and not considering the outcome. Hence, i agree with your friends that they start a relationship with the intention of getting married later on when their relationship is stable. Being in love according to emotion only may sometimes fall into a category called "puppy love". Well, i #%

You don't want to consider 'external factors' but you should. They are a 'must' because merely love is absolutely not enough. Maybe you are too young and lack experience-that's why you think like that and just fall into it without giving it a second thought. Age, social status, family, nationality, all these things do matter and cannot be easily ignored.

Love to me is over-rated, I have learnt that love can mean entrapment, possessiveness and manipulation. When I was younger I used to dream about falling in love, you know the real kind of love that you see in the movies, the happy ever afters! Why can't that happen to me? Well I went with my first partner because of the convenience, I was never in love with them and the second I jumped into on the rebound of getting out of the first, so I really haven't experienced true love, the positive side of love, not the negative one which I think love is all about.

I think everyone is looking for love... Most people have certain expectations when they start a relationship.. I think that someone that is seeking for a long term soul mate should be up front about it.. May not be like on the first date but not too long into the relationship.. Why?? Some people are afriad of commitment.. And that is the ultimate commitment to another person.. And a person that is with one that doesnt want to stay together forever.. To be frank is wasting their time.. There are some that are comminted to themselves and do not want to be tied down to any other persons.. May be its my own situation or my experinces in life that make me feel this way but its just the way I am.. Granted currently I am not and will not be looking for anyone speical.. I do not want the hassle right now.. But I do know in the future when I start again, yes I will be looking for a husband, not a mr right now..

I think that we should allow ourselves to love anybody for as long as they give us happiness and can also reciprocate our love. It doesn't mean that if a person lives a million miles away from you or probably older than you y ten years, that he/she can't be that right person for us.

Everyone is bound to fall in love; age is not an issue. Though your statute in life might be, if we look into pursuing a relationship. Married people are taken, while Single people should at least mingle with other Single people more often, simply to avoid hoping and complications, thus leading to more hurt. Love can just be love. Loving someone secretly or maybe taking it to the next level, maybe even get married. Unrequited love is never far when there is uncertainty. So I guess it's safe to say, regardless if you really love the person or you think you're in love, it all depends on the decisions we make.

I agree with you I just head straight into love not caring what happen next but we normally develop interest because of our similarities or complete opposite attraction. I have never had problem with age since I would only date guys in my age group .I dont go looking but those guys attract me since they can keep up with me . I am already find my prince charming so I dont have to search no more . If you are both over the age of consent are both under then age is not a problem .

love is not easy to find but i understand your friends view. Why try to get in a relationship if distance is a problem, if the age difference is too great, if the man in question is unhappily married but trapped because he has children, will you love him then? No you will not want such complications that distance, excessive age difference or a difficult situation and complications will cause. You are young, so whomever you choose, take your time, consider carefully, look wisely to see if that person is a kind person, considerate, etc. I have found in my life that there are many people who are not particularly kind, who are selfish, who tread on the feelings of others. For me, I will repeat 1 Corinthians 13, which is to me the definion of love and which sadly too many people do not follow: 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.' Take care to find a man who believes in and acts according to the above.

I think that love is one of the most [poweful emotions that we can feel t is a fprce of emotipons snd choices that guide and perduade ourlives onto what they can and will be.

Love between man and woman is unconditional. I may not know exactly but it happened to me. I married the woman I fell in love with no matter what. We don't see examples of that nowadays but decades ago, we watch movies or read stories about what true love is and what it can do..

Hi friend, there is nothing wrong in your view, if you both are in real and serious love you can maintain a good relationship for a long time. Marriage is really a great bond and distance is not a factor for real love, if both of the couples are in real love than distance never destroy their real affection

Love is trust. If you start a relationship with someone you must believe in him or her. Commuciaring with each other often. But my bf betraied me, he had a crush on another one and we broke up. Hope you can have a happy reelationship with someone.

I know people are different and that affects how they fall in love or approach love. On my personal account if I can afford to approach you, then I love you and will be determined to carry through the relationship. Whenever am attracted but can't just start the relationship for whichever reason, then I know its not love.

To start a realtionship it depends on it's purpose. So ask your self, what is your purpose? If you only want to get a special friend, a good listener for you, just do it and never think about what happen in the future. But you must becarefull, he will be get same purpose with you.

I think that love can be one of the best things in the world, or one of the worst. If you know that you are with somebody who you really love, then there is nothing better than knowing that they love you back because it means that your relationship is definitely worth it. However, sometimes we realise that we love people and there is no way that they can ever love us back. This can be hard because it means that we have to try and move on with our lives even though we cannot stop thinking about the person who we love.

Love is one of the purest things in the world. Even I have friends who continue an affair just because the guy is suitable for the family. But we all have one life. So we all should try to live with our love, if we stay happy with them.
