That is a question I’m going to think about here very soon. I think some kinds of love are free. The love I give to people is free , I expect nothing from it. Would feel odd someone trying to pay me this cost of love as I’ve no idea what payment to receive. Surely not something as mundane as money , money so base but so necessary in todays time. I can actually remember when folks didn’t have much accept their love for each other , and got on very well. Damn that’s a good question. I’ll hit you back when I thunk on it a bit more , yes I did say thunk it’s a special kind of thinking. Constructs such as Valentine’s Day are not made for fun , but to make people feel they must have a certain thing or feel a type of way about someone spending money on them and all that mess. More about driving economy then love in my estimation. People need to learn to be content , to be happy when they feel the sun hit their face in the morning. A person you like being near , and gazing upon as you speak with them. I don’t know perhaps I’m just old but it seems those things mean more to me then showing affluence and spoiling some dulcet creature that really cares no way or the other just wants a good meal , a good fuck , sometimes if one is lucky you may get good conversation ( don’t hold your breathe for that one.) it’s a mixed bag these days in this social environment. Anyway hello Apple hope it helps.

You know Nick Cannon made a movie called Love Don't Cost A Thing. Which involves falling in love without money. But these days they might as well just make another sequel called Love Does Cost A Thing. Because it seems no matter how much a person wants to be in a relationship with someone there's always involves money especially without even knowing the person first. It seems money is more important than eating food, it seems money is more important than drinking water, it seems money is more important than being in a relationship, it seems money is more important than life itself, it seems people are damn desperate that they can't get their own money without asking complete strangers they never met before for money.

Love that is true is free. But in order to attain it, one must give of themselves, and at the root of that is risk and vulnerability. What so many get so hung up on is that they once risked, and lost, or unappreciated, or worse, were taken advantage of. But this is not the right way to view love or relationships. What happened in the past does not determine the future. Each relationship, each person, is an opportunity to begin again, and this time, to do it better, to have better luck, to make smarter and wiser choices and decisions.
Anyone who expects love to happen without fear, or pain, or emotional cost, is being unrealistic. The vulnerability is not what caused the problems, or the end. But vulnerability is necessary in order to find and have love. If vulnerability and ego is the cost, acceptance and love is the gain.

love has a price, like if you want to have kids, you have to pay for their food and clothes and help them with house work and cook for them and pay for their shelter and to attract a guy, you have to earn money so you can pay your half of the bills or do other work that is just as hard as earning money such as being a full time house maid or a full time mom etc… love isn’t free, everybody pays a price.

Yurrasis · Answer

Unconditional love is free, but the process of giving/developing it is not. You invest time, money, emotions and basically yourself during that process.

Let's say you want to gift them something. Most of the gifts you give will require your time and money. You can do this action out of love without being given or asked to, but to execute the action you need some sort of medium (time, money, emotions).

Hopefully this makes sense. Translating my thoughts into words is difficult lol.

humpbackjack · Answer

You’re still young how sweet. Absolutely love is NOT FREE. It’s more expensive for men financially usually and probably more emotionally taxing on women. Don’t get me wrong men are hit pretty hard emotionally also by love it’s just that most women seem to be more in touch with their emotions and guys can be assholes. On the same note there’s some financial burdens for women also when it comes to love and nowadays there’s a lot of women carrying more than their share of the bills even all the bills but I’d still say typically men carry majority of the load and Valentine’s Day and dates and such are more of a guy showing his girl how much she’s valued which cost money also it’s not very common for a woman to by her man jewelry I mean just in the last few years I’ve spent a few thousand on jewelry just on Christmas

KatieB713 · Answer

Even the best relationships there should be what you might call 'a price' but only if it is the same on both sides... aka compromise...
If it is costing you time, energy, money etc but not your partner then you have to question if the person is worth it...
However if you don't seem to have any cost, you need to question how invested in the relationship you are if you haven't put anything in...

Adam1978 · Answer

It's comes with a cost, you need to spend time and treat them good enough. And that would be the minimum. Don't expect any takers on that today, the demands on a lover today is ridiculous, preferably without giving anything back. People has completely forgot its a balance. You need to give to get.

Apulu_3 · Answer

According to me love is a priceless feeling. It isn't cheap or free. It comes when someone is attached to you soo much that the attachment becomes priceless. Nothing is more expensive than love because this is something which can't be bought by any amount of money. It can be bought by deep feelings for someone only.

vintagegirl90 · Answer

Love should be free, like if you can share that not only with a relationship but other people like your family and friends then yes. If you think it’s costly I find that to be a very insecure feeling and that you may not know what love is. Love is unconditional and has no boundaries and it’s a free emotion to express with whoever you like or choose in or outside of your circle.

idkwhatsreal · Answer

Yea love is free but Valentine’s Day is not free. Those are two completely different things. If your s/o has the means to be able to purchase something for you or take you out. You know you expect that to happen at I think the ladies do anyways. I can’t speak for guys. If they expect anything. I don’t know. But yes V-day usually will cost money for those who can afford it. But love is absolutely free. It’s hard to distinguish real love.

Lliam · Answer

It suppose it can be. Someone can love another person without the love being reciprocated.

Love that has to be bought with gifts and physical comforts isn't love.

Healthy love with a romantic partner is reciprocated. So, in that sense, is is not free even though it is given freely. If that makes sense. There is no cost other than mutual respect, regard, and trust. Two people work together to keep their relationship happy and healthy.

davidst123 · Answer

of course is free... I can love everyone. there is a few types of love, not just romantic love. it hurts sometimes and will hurt for a while that happens to everyone.
(It cost something) when things don't work out well, not every love story has a happy ending. everyone has the ability to forget, let go and move one.
some people don't believe in love, some will give up, stop trying looking for a partner. there is someone especial for every one, out there in the world.

MrtoddsWildRide · Answer

I loved my wife. She took most of my stuff and I am paying her child support even though we have joint custody and she makes more money than I do. So there is that

Anonymous · Answer

For me, at least, it would cost. And I look at the fees… hell, just the costs of improving myself enough so I can get dates and a girlfriend seems so overwhelming, especially considering the reward.

But, that’s based on what I’ve lived with so far. Cheating. Gaslighting. Lying constantly. Maybe romantic love - true love - is at such a level that it will seem worth it, and since I haven’t really experienced that, everything just seems like a lot of bs and work and drudgery.

Even other types of love have a cost (almost everything does) though it usually doesn’t seem as expensive as romantic love has. Or maybe the value (of other types of love) is there much earlier, so perhaps whatever those costs are feels more worthwhile.

Djaay · Answer

Love never cost anything. Learning how to express your love towards someone cost. The only time you feel love cost , is when u are insecure. Valentines day is an umbrella for those single to find a reason to have the courage to make a move with something to blame if rejected. The fear of being emotionally hurt is what really cost.

NathanDavis · Answer

I do give my soul... but I would not call it a cost, I am taking yours... lol

Still-alive · Answer

my unconditional love is free... unless you do something to destroy that :P

DizzyDesii · Answer

Its free but it takes time and effort. It can be stressful, painful, meaningful, joyful, etc. Money should play no part in who you love. If it does then i believe that person has ulterior motives

Barry88 · Answer

You always need to invest something of yourself to make a long term relationship work for both. That isn't negative, but it takes an effort to keep a good and healthy relationship. There are ups and downs, but a good relationship is worth it.

NYCQuestions1976 · Answer

Someone may be able to successfully argue that love itself is free, but the cost (mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, chronologically, etcetera) will become very apparent if that love doesn't work out.

chulo1992 · Answer

Love is NOT free!!! First I can start off by saying that there is a saying that goes "No money, no honey" Second of all, you need money to take women on dates. And lastly, the Valentines gift prices are through the roof on V-Day so men have to spend EXTRA BIG for their women. Love free... NOT!!!

weysally · Answer

no love is not free, I don't mean money, but everyone has to give up something in order to gain something

Cringe · Answer

No. Love comes with a great deal of responsibility. It costs you the investment of your emotions, your care, your concern and feelings for someone else. In paying those costs, the investment is truly wonderful, or devastating

ElvenMr · Answer

It "costs" emotions in my opinion. Some people put too much emphasis on Valentines day. Like if the guy/girl doesn't to what you expect him/her to do, then the relationship is over.. lol.
