Titan, I would rebute to this comment, but BDH said it better than I could dream to:

Amen.
If I'm not mistaken, we're discussing on what love is in the context of "being in love" not simply "loving someone".
That said, I doubt many of us truly know what it feels like to "be in love", yet so many of us are trying to explain what it is.
Now, Titan, you may be one of the few people I know who might be the exception to my "no teenager knows what it feels like to be in love" rule. All I was saying in my post was: "Several people are trying to explain what it feels like to be in love, when I would estimate that probably none of us really knows what it feels like to "be in love" (not simply "love someone").
I could explain what it's like to "love someone". Shit, I love a lot of people. "Loving someone" is simply caring about them, and wanting to see good come into their life. That's the way I define "loving someone", and under my definition, there are a helluva lot of people I love.
Now, I have no clue what it's like to "be in love" with a significant lady, so I'm not even going to try to define it like so many others before me have. And for those of you who have defined what it's like to be in love, ask yourself, are you really in love? Odds are, probably not.
