how could you feel what loves is if you have never been in a relationship, its like trying to learn how to swim without getting in tha water. you are born, you reproduce then you die.

Love means never having to say your sorry

do you not love your parents, brother, sister, bestfriend, life, a pet, grandparents etc?
how is it different the only difference is you ovbiously dont have sex with the others as to a "partner".
just because someone doesn't experiance it, doesn't mean you dont know its presence.
and life isn't all just you're born, reproduce, then die...wht about people who dont want kids or want to marry for that matter?
and love is never saying sorry? everyone says sorry all the time for little non chalant things we probably dont notice it, but we do..

Loving of your partner is different to you loving your parents.

I cannot think of how to explain it, it can either be amazing or it can be the worst emotion you can experience.

22 years old here and am in the same position. I don't really know what love is, but I know I haven't felt it yet.

My family are just people I know. I don't feel any kind of special "family love" there--just that there are people I care about because I'm around them so much.

As for relationships, I don't feel anything there either. Maybe someday I will, but until then it's pretty much a like-to-hang-out-with kind of thing. It doesn't strike me as love.

Love means being willing to say sorry. Relationships are about compromise. Love is fanstic and thrilling and sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it stops you from doing what you want to do. Sex is amazing. Sex is more meaningful with love- but usually not as exciting. Just because you question the meaning of life or if you want to get married and have kids shouldnt stop you from having sex. Sex needs to be with someone with whom you are respectful and they to you- but it does not have to have love- just chemisty.

love is a heart attack if ur 90;other wise its a pain in ur heart...

Love is a strong attraction between people, where they like eachother no matter what and they eachothers faults but still find a way to live through it. A big issue can be fought through easily and together.

Loves like a strong connection...example, some people love their siblings, some don't

-sigh-.... love is when your willing to do anything to protect someone, or when you think of sharing an amazing happiness with another person... I don't really know how to put it and I don't want to say something that looks like it came out of a fortune cookie, go with your gut when it comes to love even if it's hard cause if you dont you might lose it and once you've got it and it disappears.... well you'll die alot inside.... good luck with your search for love and meaning I hope you find someone and prosper well with them...

This is for the band kids across the country.

You know that feeling you get when you're in band, and you're playing an absolutely beautiful song, and you get to the climax (of course, built up by a suspended cymbal/timpani roll), and there's a big burst of sound into a bright major chord? And that chord reaches down into your very soul and resonates so clearly, that you don't know whether to laugh or cry, and it is the best feeling, but also the worst pain.

That is what love feels like. The process of falling in love is simple: you meet someone whose personality emits a chord so close to yours that you get the same feeling I described above.

Never experiencing it does not mean you're cynical, it simply means you haven't found anyone "in tune" with you yet. I've only experienced it twice, and I'm 24.

love is the "exileration" and the low that comes with it? !:P
:P

Great question. I'm 20 and have never experienced "love" either, but I have had strong feelings for a couple of girls I have dated before. When you finally find someone, you will see what I am talking about.

youll know when you are

I am a tough girl... im usually not sentimental and I am very independent.
bUT BELIEVE ME when I tell you that love is not overestimated. it's actually the best thing that can happen to you.

I'm still young and I have been in love. When it was good, nothing made me happier, but when it was bad, I felt almost suicidal. It's impossible to describe, because love is different for everyone. There aren't any signs that show when you're in love, you just know. There aren't specific reasons WHY you love someone, you just do.

Love is by far not the best thing that can happen to you. My advice, stay the hell away from love!

Right, and so you've never had anyone close to you die and felt the love then? You've never felt any atatchment to someone else that you don't understand? You've never felt a need for someone else? Well love is all that, but its also just being comforted by someone else's presence. Or it can be idiotic pain that makes you wish you could forget about what you've done for the past few months/years/etc.
NFLM.

Its the best high in the world. Forget drugs and all that shit. Love is like being somewhere beautiful at night when you cant see shit and love makes it bright enough for you to see how beautiful the scene you're in is and everything just sparkles.

Even sub-species can love, so there's your proof. You're just talking about conventional social standards. You don't have to follow them, it certainly isn't necessary and a lot of people don't.

i totally agree! when u love someone, you will be willing to give up everything, but if they love you back, they wont make you...

Love is when two spirits, two energies combine to make one, allowing for fusion of the souls and a shockwave of radiant energy to disperse exponentially throughout the cosmos and into the hypersphere in red, green, and blue so that the grid's fractal structure is disturbed and causes a change in the frequency at which objects pulsate.
