But that's not "love"...that's more like, pleasure, indulgence, selfishness, happiness, etc.

Love is always seen as a general expression for happiness, or joy. Like....you "love" pocky, manga, or ramen because it brings you pleasure. Or you "hate" sucky manga, stale pocky, and nasty smelling ramen because it brings you displeasure.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you mean love as in things that bring you pleasure...then yes, it should be treated greatly. But if you mean love as in romance, then it should be treated as every other emotion (all of this is in my opinion, of course).

Side note: WAAA POCKY! I only have two boxes left!! T_T

Romance is tough to pin down. Kissing each other on top of a mountain or filling a bathtub with rose petals isn't necessary, but movies make it seems like there are silly things integral to romance. I consider romance as doing sweet things to the one I love romantically (sexual love) to show I care, without the expectation of getting something in return.

I agree with this! I think too many people get caught up in the "Hollywood romance" that tends to fill our thoughts as we develop and grow in our lives. I mean, flowers and chocolates are nice but I would consider my spouse doing some laundry or just brushing my hair more desirable/romantic than the previous. And my spouse KNOWING that these things would make me more happy is reassuring, showing me he loves me so much as to put heart and thought into expressing his love.

Yes I believe in love for sure. Actually there was a guy I was talking to well over a year ago now, I thought I had found love with him but he rejected me and it was not until recently I realized it was just infatuation for me. I really felt anxiety with him, I stopped eating and I was unhappy. I think I would know if I found true love because the way I see love is that person would make me feel happy even when we are apart. I read somwhere if a person makes you feel anxiety they are not the one. I have hope in my heart that the guy I am meant to be with is out there somewhere. I do live on my emotions a lot but I do not just see the romantic side. I know that whoever he is I will really care for him and be there with him in good and bad times. :rheart:

Well i do beleive but in this time it's really hard to find someone who u can

spend ur life with happily. Let's just say when i found this guy i like then

later i dont like him anymore i'm soooo weird. I only remebered about liking

one person and never lost interest, but that's something in the past.

I do and then I dont so


I dont because, does everyone really have the capacity to love someone regardless of whats wrong with them, or if they did something wrong such as: cheat. and Cuz I never really experienced it yet. I've seen some of what I thought was real love Disintegrate right before my very eyes over small stuff, ya' know =/

and I do because, its just something I want with my heart and soul, I believe someone in this world was meant to make me happy and love me too. Plus I've seen it. just a few times tho. Its so rare its scary. But I do hope to experience this one day :)
