love is ..

well, for me love is when you like the person you are when you are with someone.

If you feel happy and sleek and sexy, no pangs of doubt, and are totally at ease, and that lasts, well, if it isn't love, it is close enough for me. But then I am very superficial.

I agree with you Vivian. To me love is also when you freely open your heart and allow someone to reside within it a place where they become more embedded in and deeper rooted the longer they stay, they actually feel a part of you. heart wings
What does it mean when you only get all fired up as he leaves you and neither can go that extra mile that is the done deal?

I think it may be 'old age'? lol frustrated
Minerva, keep fingers crossed for me, en route this week. Hoping for total ease, but right now? A bit jangly with nerves. help
Wallops, agree, it is all about feeling good together. I can't do the agonising and soul-searching and uncertainty!
Rain, what would you know about old age? you look great!

I agree 100% with your first statement and would like to add sharing comfortable silences often speaks louder than words. Those to me are very important factors in a long lasting relationship. Words are not always necessary to convey emotions.
Someone had famously written that 'often we find words thinning compared to the density of human experience'. Emotions conveyed through silence are much deeper than the ones spoken aloud.

Cocheta, absolutely. Very simple to say 'totally at ease' but it covers so much about a comfortable relationship!
"well, for me love is when you like the person you are when you are with someone"

Interesting interpretation of love.... love for yourself perhaps, but no mention of love for the person you are getting these loving feelings from.

Funny (strange) how men talk about the depth of love they feel for women but women talk about how they feel when receiving love. Does this mean that only men have the capacity to love or does a man simply show their love to women so that women can feel good with themselves?
Sola, I doubt any self respecting woman would be that shallow but the woman is usually the one being chased so it is pretty much down to the man to declare his feelings.

Once the ice is broken the woman is free to spill the beans on how she really feels.

I doubt that this is so true of the way things are done today. I guess no-one would waste the time. Maybe that's why youngsters can more easily take rejection, they simply ask for it. ie rejection that is!!!

Sola - ouch. I did say I was superficial. But when I'm happy, my man is happy. When he's happy being with me, he's happy. Very simple formula, and yes a bit simplistic. I already said I don't do soul-searching and agonizing. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, life is too short to be miserable. Better Together, one Scottish rallying cry at the moment, isn't always better.

But (she adds snidely, looking at your last blog) I don't need to look at pictures to know I'm happy tongue rolling on the floor laughing

Quits, now, stop making rude comments on each other's blogs? Agree to disagree? laugh

I think it is a huge compliment for a man when a woman feels that way as it simply means he brings out the best in her. When I feel that way when I'm with a man it means I am head over heels for him and would cherish and protect that love with my whole being rose
Love always seeks the other persons benefit.
Aaaaahhhhhhh Vivian... To be in love.... smitten smitten smitten

Enjoy! hug wave
Viv you are too kind. rolling on the floor laughing teddybear
