How do You know that you love somebody?

I know, maybe this is crossing the invisible softness line on a piston head forum. IŽll take my chances of getting banned or forever marked as a silly girly. But I really want an honest assessment;

What is it that constitutes and merits the use of the word LOVE? Specifically, what is it about your better half that make you love her/him? Looks, behavior, personality...what?

Secondly, how can one describe the feeling of love?

This is a tough one, guys. Give it your best shot!

I look at it this way:

Long after the initial infatuation has worn off, I feel "normal" when my wife is around. I would feel "incomplete" if she was away for a week or two. I would feel devastated if she was never coming home.

when you would give the only parachute to that other person,
knowing that the plane will blow up 5 minutes later,
because the other option is unthinkable

Sorry, I'm compelled to love anyone that can tolerate me.

If you can't imagine life without them in it.

Screw Shakespeare, Haddaway said it best.



What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh, baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

What is love
Yeah

Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

Oh, I don't know, what can I do
What else can I say, it's up to you
I know we're one, just me and you
I can't go on

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh
What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me

I want no other, no other lover
This is your life, our time
When we are together, I need you forever
Is it love

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh)

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh)

What is love?

Love is when the very thought of her sends shivers up your back.

love is when throwing more $ at your wifes health is more important than fixing the porsche.

It is an interesting question.

I've always been a bit on the sensitive side, and have had at least my share of infatuations, but they don't happen any more. Three years ago I was released from a 23-year marriage that was verbally and emotionally abusive. I thought my steely sense of self esteem was impermeable, but I was wrong. Damage was done. It is so very nice now, to come home to an empty house.

Right now, there is a lady. The thing I have a hard time getting my mind around is that there seems to be NO down side to the time I spend with her. No criticism. No disappointments. Nice discourse. We're both good cooks. Sex is......VERY successful. I won't bother you guys with the details, but sex is VERY successful. Boinking this lady is like driving a 917-30, with just one difference.....there is no warmup wait.

So now, in the absence of those infatuation feelings that I remember feeling on so many occasions when I was a bit younger, I wonder what's happening. I'm certainly feeling comfortable. But what I'm NOT feeling is that desire of possession. The MUST HAVE feeling. I like not having it. But I hope to some day be victimized again by it.

That's a longwinded way of saying "It's the erection", right?
