Love......

[Bonzi]

I read this today - had to share....

"You know what love is? Love is when you're so tired and want to fall asleep, but you look over and see her, and then you get all excited and happy and can't sleep because you're next to her."

How I felt with most lovers sleeping over. "I don't wanna go to sleep and lose 8 hours with you."

That's called coffee too late in the evening.

I have to admit, if someone said that to I'd be like "what is wrong with you"?

My ex used to say every time he’d see my car pull up or even a car like mine, his heart would race (this was like 2-3 years into our relationship) and I was like really? I don’t feel that way….

Normally, if I see my significant others car at the house, I feel disappointed….unless I have some great news to share or we are going to go out and do something fun.....

 

[Bonzi]

... but still I think it is sweet others feel that way about someone.
I have (in the beginning) but it always wears off.....

Love is when you're so tired and want to fall asleep, but you look over and see her in pain or in distress or in need and you take care of her first.

Equals insomnia...

I agree ... love = sacrifice.

 

[AVG-JOE]

It's not a sacrifice if you truly care. It's what you do.

Hmmm you can not feel like doing it but still love the person.....
I love my kids, but when I had to help them with projects I didn't "enjoy" it, I felt good for helping them, but still, it wouldn't be a sacrifice if it were fun......

You might really want to see a movie, but have to forego it to help a friend. It's a sacrifice still...

But I know what you are saying....

Love is rolling over an looking at your significant other and not strangling them for snoring.

I agree ... love = sacrifice.

Shouldn't have to sacrifice anything for those you love. A sacrifice means giving something up you desire or value. If you love someone they hsouldn't ask you to give anything up for them. And if you do you're just going to resent them for it. Like not getting to watch a fav tv show because they wanna watch their's. Can do that and say you made a sacrifice for them, but just below the surface you're resenting the hell out of them.

 

[Spinster]

I Corinthians Chapter 13 is the love chapter in the Bible and is explained pretty well, I believe.

 

[Bonzi]

I disagree about sacrifice...

Would I rather laugh and play games with my kids....
Or help my husband work on the shed......

You may not resent it or hate it, but it's still sacrificing what YOU want for someone else's need.

I might lose and arm or leg trying to save someone, but I'm not happy I lost my arm or leg, even though I think it was worth it.....

 

[saveliberty]

Love is placing others before yourself, whether it is romantic is completely another thing.

 

[Bonzi]

Would it be safe to say that a completely selfish person is incapable of love?

 

[saveliberty]

I refuse to believe anyone is completely selfish.

 

[Bonzi]

I wonder though, what causes someone to love some and not others....
You have children, you love them, because you raise them, you are close to them and know them well plus there it the "natural" love - but you can also know people for a long time you don't love - I just wonder why you would love some and not others.

Personality?
Something intangible?
Similarities?

There are many ways to express love, my guess is you are attracted to people that express it in a way you understand and need.

So if you have a way of expressing love that is unorthodox, might be harder to be loved or love.... agree?
