I'm going to speak bluntly, and I'm sorry if I'm stepping on toes here:
I would go so far as to say that not a single person who has posted in this thread has the slightest clue what love is. We're all 15-20 years old. Tonguegina (I'll pick on you, because I know you're a good sport, and one of my best friends) just got done saying (I paraphrase) "I've never had a girlfriend, or even been on a date, but I think I know what love is". Now, there's nothing wrong with not having had a girlfriend or going on a date, God knows I haven't done much better. But I think we all need to remind ourselves that we're a bunch of little kids who have no clue about life, whether we want to admit it or not. Maybe you do know what love feels like, I don't know. But I know what girl(s) you're talking about, and I know how you feel towards them, and I've felt the same way towards girls at times, and I can tell you, I'm quite confident it's not "love" in it's purest form.
I mean, shit. So many teenagers these days are so sexually promiscuous, they probably can't tell a kiss from a fuck. Am I supposed to believe that such a person has the slightest clue what love is? Their "love" life has been so tainted by lust, that it'll take years for them to ever have any semblence of a normal, loving relationship. And again, there's nothing wrong with that, if that's your thing, but I don't think you should be trying to explain what love is.
Maybe I've spoken too harshly here, but it's the way I feel. I'm not going to censor my thoughts, because then there is a lesser chance that my point gets across. Am I saying that no one on Nubblies has ever been in love? No. I'm sure there are a few of you who truly, genuenly have been in love. I just doubt that as many people who have attempted to define "love" in this thread, have really been in love.
If you really want to know what love is, ask your Grandparents who when they look at each other, their eyes still sparkle, they still flirt with each other, they want nothing more than to be with each other even after 50 years of marriage. Ask them, they'll know what love is.
