Men and women have a different definition of love.

Love is a feeling, which is an emotion.

I know when I love someone. I can't stop thinking about him, I worry about him, I go out of my way for him and best of all, he makes me happy

In answer to your question about settling in fear of being alone. I've been divorced over 40 years. If I'm alone the rest of my life, so be it.

The harder question is.....how do I know if he truly loves me. My only answer to that is......You are what you do, not what you say.

Yes, I loved before and would never settle for anything which wouldn't make me happy.

What is love? How do you know if your in love or if someone is in love with you?
I just know if I love someone and if someone loves you, he says so and makes you feel it imo..

What is love to you guys? and do men and women view love differently or show it differently?
Sharing the good and the bad with someone and enjoying to be with this person. Different people view love differently, I was with guys who viewed it similar as me.

laugh Yes, oodles of love in the written form but not much of taking it to the real test. laugh

I think most forum folk are resigned to flirting and ego stroking for many reasons, distance perhaps being the greatest obstacle.

Sure, there's such a thing as love...we spend a great deal of time seeking it if that's what we're after. Some people will settle out of fear of being alone but for me, that's not an option even if it means I'm single for the rest of my days. I settled when I was too young and naive and will not make that mistake again...I vowed that to myself and will stick with it. What is love? it's a deep emotional bond that develops through mutual devotion and respect among many other things. You know you're in love with someone when you feel you can't live without them. If someone is in love with you, they will go out of their way to show it and by that, you know they feel that they can't live without you. I think the emotion is the same for both men and women although the two may express it differently. Love encompasses so much more than can be described in writing but if two people love each other, they simply "know". wine

Of course love exists...it's actually our default setting.

But if you're talking about 'romantic love' that's a different matter.

There is such a thing as love if you are open to receiving it.

People who are in love demonstrate this by their unselfish and thoughtful actions for their loved one. It is more than a warm fuzzy feeling.

Agreed, there is a very slim chance that love will be found in CS as opposed to in the real world. But what is a gal to do when all you wonderful men are hiding out here in CS instead of out there?????
