What is LOVE?

Do you consider it to be emotional?
Purely chemical?

Something beautiful?
Or something to be avoided at all costs?

Have you ever felt love for someone?
If you have, what did you do with it?
If you haven't, do you wish to?

Tis chemical, with far too much emphasis on romantic and sexual love and too little on friendship and familial love.

I've been in love for several years now, so I've got some insight. Love starts chemical, for sure. Most love that I witness tends to fall away with time. I've seen and am experiencing the lasting love. It takes full acceptance of each other, flaws and all. It takes COMPLETE honesty and open conversations. It takes respecting each others boundaries. It takes soooo much trust. None of this should ever feel forced or one sided, it should feel easy and natural. If you find yourself having arguments instead of discussions, get some space until you cool down. Acknowledge emotions but do not confuse them for logic.

TL;DR: Love is chemical, but it takes actions and attention to keep it strong and firey.

I see love as more of a choice.
Like it starts by being attracted to someone based on your first impression of them (for example, their looks or personality). You treat them first as if they're a perfect being without no faults. You see them through a filtered lens.

But then at some point, you end up discovering more things about them. You uncover hidden traits that you realize is far from what you expected. Maybe some of those are traits you hate. You begin seeing that person without that filtered lens. It's at that point where you choose whether pursuing them is worth it or not. If not, then you move on and find someone else. If you decide to chase them, then you learn to love them as a person. The philia and pragma kind of love.

This is a complicated question to answer because I believe everyone experiences it in a different way. Sometimes love is a blessing, sometimes a curse. It can bring unity or discord, happiness or sadness, hope or regret. I suppose you could describe love as a yearning of the soul.

Thank you for such insightful responses!
I am impressed. :3

I suppose I should actually answer one of my own threads for once. LOL XD;;

I believe that love is intangible and strange. Beautiful, and terrifying.
I believe that sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes it doesn't.
I believe that if people can make it past the infatuation that happens at first, then perhaps they have a chance at something real.
I believe many types of love exist. Some sensual, some platonic.
I believe that all are valid.
I believe that as long as you can find someone who understands you, treasures you despite your flaws, you'll be alright.
I believe that love exists for everyone, the trick is finding it.
I believe that love is a sneaky wench who likes to sneak up when you don't want it to.
I believe that love comes first.

Oh my love, I know you are my candyman
And oh my love, let us fly to bounty land~~

Its chemical its a choice some should be avoided. Love is a very complicated and simple all the same. I am happily married, but there are times when i wonder if its enough. I have two beautiful girls. I love them dearly but they drive me nuts sometimes.

Have you ever felt love for someone?
Yes big time.

If you have, what did you do with it?
Nothing. I was to afraid he would turn me down. I have been bullied for 4 years so I am scared of telling someone I like them.
