What is love? How do you know you're in love? Is it all that it's made out to be?

What is love?

Its an experience

How do you know you're in love?

Most time you don't until it hits you.

Is it all that it's made out to be?

Of course it is... most times... other times it can hurt..!

How old are you, and why do you ask? Is this a homework question??

Nope it's not homework.. I'm 16, just been thinking about it and I was just curious about it... thanks for your answer :)

It's not so much what is love, but what you do about it. There are many levels, and to say the least it's the most desirable when romance makes it intense, or just a crush, which is intense for a while but fades. Or just LUST, which is very intense, but fades after a while too.

Sometimes we WANT love so bad we dream and fantasize, and that's a rather intense feeling too especially when directed at someone. The best love though is a shared love with someone who's feelings are just as intense as your own that grows with time (a long time) after the lust, and crushes, and fantasy's, and hard times, and life obstacles have faded.

Now that's a love that's all its cracked up to be and well worth it. Just my take on it. What do you think? :D

Plus just to add we can like someone an awful lot, but not really love them. They make good friends but the romance part just ain't there. Know what I mean?

But I am a guy, and when I was 16, there was a LOT OF LUST. So much it was hard to think!!!!!!!!!
