Love

  Love is nice, but its purpose isn't to sate boredom. A strong relationship survives beyond the initial novelty of it. It's life's nature to be relatively mundane. You need to find something you're passionate about without confusing it for love/crushes/etc.

  
  
  *sigh*
  
  Which is why I doubt it's love at all.
  
  Feels like I have yet to love anyone in a romantic way.

  I think you're right. I'm sure when you're ready, you'll begin to see things differently. I noticed when I was falling in love, there was a shift in part of my mindset. It can seem scary, but then I realize, a lot of my life has had big mindset shifts that made me into the person that someone fell in love with. I have to stay true to myself, even when I'm changing. Pretending nothing is happening is being dishonest to myself and the people around me.

  I think I had a huge mindset shift this summer.
  
  Narrow-minded slightly whiny girl -> someone with a bit more perspective, I hope.
  
  .. but my taste in guys has totally gone downhill, I can tell. :fail:

  At least you can tell. I know someone who was beaten by her boyfriend once, and went back to him.

  Personally, I think real love is an engineered process. Say we find a partner. We talk, share everything, we don't hold anything back. We notice how beautiful they are. They notice how beautiful we are. Suddenly, everything else loses importance, and we are attached to their world, as to ours are they. Soon enough, true love doesn't seem predetermined, but rather the result, of a beautiful collision.

  Ah, I love your views on love.
  
  Makes me wanna fall in love again.

  I think love as a "destiny" is a bothersome thing. What Virtue said is true. I may not have realized that the process was going on, but it is a process. It didn't happen out of the blue without any rationality. You start seeing small things about the other person, until you realize who they are, and that that is why you love them. They are who they are.

  Love as destiny is bogus.
  
  And that whole one true love idea as well.
  
  You can fall in love with many people throughout your life.

  I'm one of those people who believes that "true love" isn't real and doesn't exist. But my definition of it is pretty strict and that's just me anyway. If other people believe in love and they want to love others, at least they'll be happy right?

  Alas, I'm much too naive and young to have a well formed opinion on love~
  From what I've seen, love really doesn't seem worth it. I hope I'm proved wrong though.
  I suppose, if you want to love someone else, then congrats, you love someone.

  love, I say it is a very powerful force/emotion (it makes people do crazy things, not always a good thing) the phrase Blinded by Love can sometimes apply because of this
  
  Love doesn't have to be physical, but for me, I would like to compliment my love, and really mean it, is why I would like to "pick" by the part that can't be changed first (genetics)
  then there's also the fact that, if you love someone enough, you begin to accept whatever flaw they have, and in time don't notice them anymore
  
  Life is, and isn't pointless at the same time
  Life does end, but, by natural circumstances, it doesn't end very soon or quick
  
  having an offspring, is like an extension of yourself, partly why you care so much for them and in a sense they are your next life,
  if there is no love, there is no guilt
  
  and yeah it's true Life, will have meaning when you give it a meaning, there is nothing set in stone
  
  I probably do question my relationships if they were truely "love" though
  I un-like some people don't use the word itself very lightly
  and believe anything that is "below" "relationship" level should be "unspoken love"
  
  and I actually don't think this post turned out the way I originally intended <-<;

  I am a person who falls in love quite easily. Personality over looks, for me. I could fall for anyone who makes me laugh, who's caring, sweet and can hold good conversations. .

  
  BUWAHAHAHAHAHA. 'nuff said
  
  
  Love is a setup for disaster :U
  
  Too much drama involved.

  Infatuation is replaced by love.
  
  Although Love is spectacle, I suppose, if you believe in something ignorantly, it might happen.
  
  "Love" doesn't start with the small things, you'll first go "Wow she has HUGE boobs" before you ever think "Wow, shes such a nice, kind person"
  
  I know you'll all Quote rage me saying "No way, I'm such a better person then that" But it's true, we look for Objects before we ever look for feelings.
• Phunkie wrote on 2010-09-26 19:37
  Not if you're blind. :)
  
  And infatuation leads to love, of course. It has to start somewhere.
  
  And last, yes. We do see physical appearances first and we do make judgments/assumptions as well. But getting to know that person deep down, especially when you really like him or her, is tons better than just a physical attraction.
  
  This, of course, is my opinion. You have yours.
