As we all know, there is no recipe in love and for love. There is no formula either. I believe that it is the best to be yourself and to show the other person who you really are. And, it is up to that person/those persons do decide if they can like you the way you are or not. I do not believe in playing mind games ever, because one's true nature will come out sooner or later and then the other person may get disappointed and leave him/her because they cannot accept you for all that you are. On the other hand, if the other person cannot accept you for who you are, do you really want to be with that person? Not me. And, besides it takes less effort to be natural than to be fake.
Of course, there is right time for everything. I do not believe in exaggeration and that is a big turn off for me: for example, when somebody tells you they love you after they've known you for 2 weeks only.
Whichever way you are and whatever you believe in, I wish you with all my heart good luck with the most beautiful thing in the world - LOVE,

How nice of you to post...and how true...I can't for the life of me see why people choose to be someone other than themselves and then are shocked when the other person has no intererest in them whatsoever because it was the fake persona the person liked...not the conniver!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree with Izabela and thank her for her beautiful post!
Of course there's not a formula for love. What has worked in the past for me? This is a great question! Now I'm single upon the last 3 years and, after all, I feel not so bad, living alone. Nevertheless I also think that nobody can survive in the long run without love! Honesty, loyalty, sincerity, the capability to listen the other, share together all the beautiful things that are around us both in the nature and among the humans and last, but not least, share and exchange the greatest ideas and emotions: all these things has well worked for me in my past relationships. Sorry, my english is not perfect because it's not my first language. I wish all the best to everyone in this forum.

"Love" is attachment. When you feel attached to someone, you may say you are in love with that someone, but the other may not feel the same.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

There is no formula for love because real love takes time to develop.

If you can both align elements of your emotional personality at an unconscious level you will begin to find that you become of one mind and that you notice it deeply when one of you is away from the other it's almost as though a part of you is missing - you create memories of your partners smile, look, smell even their conversational pattern. When this behaviour begins you are falling in love. love

If your chosen partner is not in to you at an emotional level then love is never going to happen. blues

Love is beautiful but like compassion in today's world it is in very short supply. sigh

recipe for love:

1 cup of heart
a pound of flesh
a pinch of cheek (face or butt)
a dash of spice
a modicum of understanding
a teaspoon of sugar (to help the medicine go down)


mix together until everything gels

bake until hot..hot..HOT!

when you're done, you're done

wave grin

Your statement about being yourself makes the recipe easy to follow.

Let them be their selves....never try and change your partnerscold If you want a cat, get a cat...not a dog.
Open communication, be honest and don't deceive.
No silly expectations that put pressure on your partner, your relationship and yourselfscold
Only have understanding for your partner's weaknesses.
Managing problems in a civil way....no name calling as well as resorting to "you always" or "you never".
Control your half, don't try and control your partners half in the sense of sharing happiness. You can share happiness, but you can't make your partner happy forever....it comes from within. Giving happiness is short lived if you are not happy and balanced within yourself.

Yeah, I should say since I am single, the only thing that came between me and my last ex, was the baby thing. Everything else was perfect....almost, but we would still be together in love if I were to give her a baby...sometimes love means letting go....
