What is love?
November 14, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Is love just friendship + sexual attraction? Assuming you were straight and single, if your best same sex friend was magically turned into an attractive member of the opposite gender, would you automatically be "in love" with him/her?
This analysis seems to cheapen the concept of "love" that people have because love then only results because of involuntary biological instinct.

I hate it when I don't get an inside joke.

Love is the situation that exists when another person's happiness is essential to your own. You're welcome.

I don't know what love is exactly, I suppose I'll know when I feel it again.
I don't consider myself straight, gay or bi. I am just attracted to people in different ways. Some people more sexually than others. I'm not really concerned about gender so far as that goes.

Thanks to Cinjin for making it more 'sig space' friendly.

There used to be a silly rant. It's now gone.

Love:
When the only thing that matters to you is the other person's happiness, when you can't stand to be away from them, and when you wish strongly to bump uglies in a glorious fashion.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that comes under the heading of 'stalking', not love.
