This is gonna sound stupid coming out of the mouth of a sixteen-year-old... but I dunno, I believe that love is the most important feature in life no matter what effects come of it. But nowadays with all the superficial relationships and cheating and one-night stands and so on, I just don't know anymore... is there really love? Am I overestimating that word? Is love not really when someone appreciates another dearly and would do anything for that person come heck or high water, or cry for them, laugh for them, smile for them, reserve themselves for them... etc etc... is that even real? I'm not trying to be depressing, I'm seriously asking if maybe I'm expecting too much out of love... What do you guys think?

no your not your expecting everything love is but what people are experiencing today is lust wanting not loving. we say we love some one but we really don't until we can't live without them for one second. it might take a while to realize who your with is who your meant to be with or not. but!! love is really out there, and it want happen like the movies it might be at first sight or it might be after 2 years of dating you realize your truly in love but put your whole heart into a relationship and you'll find out sooner if its true or not.

If your like me and hasn't had a boyfriend for many years until now, its a new thing and exciting. You feel like you will never get bored of the same person but feelings change and you must do what you heart is telling you.

Love is always true. It's there in the heart of every single person. If they don't have any love they are not human. Like You-Know-Who.....he doesn't have love and he isn't a human, it's obvious.

I was wondering if Love was realy real a while ago but then I remembered about when my dog died and how it felt like a part of me had been wrenched away from me because of how much I loved the little thing. That may not be the same thing but it proves that it is real

Yes...I agree. I once had a dog named Milo...he was so awesome. But he died and I felt like my whole life is ruined.

I believe in love, matter of fact, I believe am in love. rly. at fifteen, it's weird to say, cause ppl say u can't fall in love this young, but this guy, I rly feel different about than any other friends or anything, and yes, I would do anything for him.

I know what you mean. All I can say is...when you love someone you feel like your in Heaven..but you'll pay consequences for it....don't ask me how though. I just know it....

Falling in love at young is difficult because you miss out on making mistakes and experiments etc!

Yes...I know. Once you love, the outside world is gone.

My sistair met her husband when she was seven and she was always following him around.

Everybody in my year at school on about getting engaged but i think its silly.

love... been there done that

It's just a pleasurable feeling for a period of time then you're lonely again...it's a cycle

Yep...Its exciting to start with then gets boring being eith the same person all the time!

It's like a bubble gum, lol. It's sweet when you start eating it but then gets taste less. In love you start out excited but then feel bored...

Ya, until you find the right person!

Yes....the taste is gone after a while.

not if you find the right person the 'taste' never goes away cuz your happy to be with the person and feel as though if you werent with the person you wouldnt be complete and you miss them.

Yes...of course. You need to find the right person before you get frustrated about it.

Actually, love is like a sour gumball (we're all getting creative today, aren't we?) There are layers of sweetness and bitterness. Some layers just happen to be stronger than others. But when you get to the core of the gumball, or love, or whatever, it's pure sugar/heaven.

I think I see what you mean. Your saying love has both good and bad?

Just like a coin has heads and tails. You flip it up in the air in all that confusion and you have a fifty percent chance of it coming out either way. You can choose to keep flipping it though.

I agree with the coin comparison, rather than the bubble gum. It can get boring, but only if you allow it to. If you take chances, and keep "flipping the coin" you will find that things can get exciting again.

True...

I know one thing if its true you should be able to work through your differences and the arguments.

Love sure is complicated. But after the feeling is mutual the rest is just up to how much the couple want it to last.

I've never really been in love, but I've kind of seen it in my dreams. I'm not really sure if this is true, but it makes you feel extremely happy and you never want it to go away. Love is out there in this world of lust, you just have to wait and find it.

I was in love, there where many happy moments, there where some not too happy but I tried to work them out. Then came marriage, with less happy and more trouble and now is the divorce so yea. Love is special and beautiful, the rest is too. The hard thing is making the two people work things in 'sync'.

I hate fights but one person will always find something annoying but you just need to work it out!

Dreams are a good thing to go by, but you have to remember that this is often a cold world of reality and logic...although there is hardly any logic when it comes to love. You never stop dreaming about love, it's fed to us at early ages with fairytales of Cinderella and Snow White and the like. That there's the possibility of true love but it's quite the dangerous adventure to get there. Like life, life is an adventure without a roadmap and sometimes you break down and someone sees the opportunity to come pick you up. You're responsible for two people in love, how you present yourself when being confronted and how you treat the other person. True love is out there, it's good to know what you're looking for but it's even better when you realize all your plans melt away when it comes to this one person who you would stay with in one place forever or go anywhere they led you without much of a complaint. Who knows if this made sense, but love never makes sense. So if it barely makes sense then I did a pretty good job.

True, but you can't spend you life trying to 'work things out'. I personally got tired.

I think love as personaly sucked for me recently havent even tried finding it these past few months not worth my time right now

I'm sort of in the same situation. After many years with someone I've been single for about 8 months and is the awesomeness!


Love is basically like a dream. It's always magical but as you grow older it gets mixed up and it isn't as pure.

I agree with the both of you, but things change and people change therefore situations have to change. It is only when you are familiar with something then you can decide if you wish to continue it or not. Love will find me when it wishes to.

So true. I don't regret the relationship I had. I learned a lot from it. And I know that when love comes around I'll know how to appreciate it better.

I'm happy to say that I'm currently in love with my boyfran, Marc. He and I have been together for a year and 2 months. Pretty exciting, people. Here is a picture of him:



He's honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me... we're more or less engaged... I don't know what I'd do without him. I just wouldn't be me... he's everything that I want/need... nothing could make me happier, ever.

Aww I'm so happy for you girl!

Whyyyyyy thank you. :D Me too.

hehe

Well, as you can see on my previews post I haven't been that lucky. I remember when I was here and I was so happy cuz I was going to get married and stuff. *sigh* Oh well. Five years, for the most part, wasted.

:( I'm sorry. :(
