What is love?

2nd question, no.

I think people do have to THINK about love logically at some point to understand what it is though, because it's the most important emotion we can have.

I think a lot of people go through life just feeling love but never thinking anything about it and they let the pure emotion control it, which leads to messed up things caused by love (like jealousy, over protectiveness, stalking, etc.)

Love is not when you would do anything to be with someone. That's what a lot of people say, and they are all wrong. A stalker would do anything to be with someone, like kill his love's current boyfriend, but that's not love now is it. That sh*t happens, too, just read the newspaper.

Love is when you would do anything to make someone's life better & when you would do anything to see that person happy. I have to say both of those because every now and then you have to stop someone you love from doing something that will make them happy but make their life undeniably worse. Coke is a great example. I am 99.99% against anyone telling anyone else what to do, but there are some things, like addictive sh*t, that you just can't let your loved ones go near.

I also think you can't spoil someone you love. A lot of girls think "well someone who loves me should just give me everything and do everything for me", but a lot of guys have tried that and the result is ALWAYS that the girl eventually expects everything and starts to take it for granted, and becomes a total bitch. When someone becomes spoiled, the love becomes one sided and pretty pointless and will just fade away as dude realizes what's going on. I'm sure this would happen when girls do it to guys, I just have never seen it myself.

If you would take a bullet for someone, you love them. If you would work all your life to give them the life they want, you love them. If you truly love someone, you want nothing more than to have made their life better by your actions.

This includes the most important part of love, and one I bet some of you will disagree with. If you truly love someone, you have to love them enough to let them go. A lot of guys let their love for a girl make them control that girl so that she'll stay with him forever. But that is NOT love. If you truly love someone, you have to love them enough to see them happy, period. That means happy with anyone, even if it isn't you. Someone who truly loves someone will love seeing that person smile, regardless of who it's with or where.

You can't waste someone's time trying to force them to love you, because love can never be forced. If you truly love someone, you will pride yourself in making that person happy, and if letting that person be with someone better makes them happy, that is what you have to do. You have to respect them so much you even respect their decision to choose someone else, hard as it may be.

A good way to say it is "love can never be a chain, it has to always be an open arm".

I can't explain you what love is I have trouble meeting the ladies I like :)

I can give you some quotations though:

"We love because it's the only true adventure." - Nikki Giovanni

"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it." - Robert Mitchum

Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Elizabeth Browning

I got more if you would like some :)
