haha, what inspired this thread?..are you trying to figure out whether you're in love or not, by looking @ our definitions of it, and comparing how you feel to them?

w/that being asked, i think..love...is

Letting her have the remote, when you know can't stand the Lifetime Channel

Going out @ 4am to buy her a quart of rocky road ice cream

Not punching her in the eye when she acts up(haha, j/k)

When the mere thought of being apart alone is enough to make you start missing eachother

Having absolutely no desire to look elsewhere for attention

And a buncha other mushy stuff

No..that's silly. My friend and I were just discussing and came to the conclusion that all those romantic fairy-tale stories that we both love so much are just not realistic. We think they give people a false idea of what love is and mess them up.

The thing with a lot of "love stories" is they aren't really love they are showing. It's infatuation. Very rarely are any of them based on reality.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

You just totally made sense of something I haven't been able to. That was perfect! Thank you so much.

perrin perrinOG 2004

Wow I totally missed this comment.lol
No problem, my pleasure it took me a while to figure it out myself.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Also, you can totally love someone without being infatuated with them because love is this deeper level.

perrin perrinOG 2004

The thing with a lot of relationships is they start out as people being infatuated with one another then it will develop into real love. So I would totally have to agree with you on that one.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

well, yeah, but we go to see these movies as an escape from reality...no, none of us will end up riding into any sunset w/our lover on a white horse, or saving her from vampire ninjas, and making out with her after your done...but it sure is entertaining to watch somebody else do it.....What's silly though is when somebody's watching a movie & they're like "why doesn't that ever happen to mee???"...YOU DON'T LIVE IN A MOVIE!!..THAT'S WHY!

I've saved a girl from ravanging werewolfs before. Then I got to make out with her, it was the coolest. But then I woke up alone again and realized my life sucked.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

so these wolves were, ravanging, you say?....haha

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

Yeah, it was a cross between ravaging and something else, but I havne't quite figured it out after all these years. (can you tell I can't spell to save my life?)

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

But I don't just mean scenarios. I mean like the always having butterflies in your stomach or seeing fireworks when you kiss. For the former, chances are you have some nervous disability and for the latter..go get your eyes checked. Movies it's a little different because you don't hear the person's thoughts but in books and stories where they're like "We kissed and the heavens sang" maybe I just have bad ears but I have yet to hear singing.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I miss the butterflies.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I don't, they make me sick. Like..it's a nice thing but I think that falls more under a 'crush' then love. You can still get butterflies but I totally prefer just super-happiness when seeing your other or just like..a nice warm-on-the-inside feeling. Something like that.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

I remember getting voicemails from my wife and getting butterflies while listening to them. Either the way she said something or what she said would triger them. And this was after 4 or 5 years of marriage.

tinser tinserOG 2002

ah, good feelings

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

are you thinking back to the voicemails your wife left you too?

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

yeah, she's such a sweetie!

specialk specialkOG 2003

That's the way it should be. I think it's awesome if you can feel the same way that you did about your significant other when you first started dating, even after years of marriage. I SO hope I still get those butterflies after me and my hubby have been married 50 years.

tinser tinserOG 2002

going out at 4am to buy her rocky road ice cream? This should only apply if she's pregnant, otherwise...she's got you whipped!

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

haha..well...not if it's like mutual

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

actually these are the definition of being WHIPPED!!!

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

haha, maybe....
