    Don't let your feelings get in the way. Some day, I believe, we can live in a world without love.

    No, I could not.

    Peoples idea of love vary so much though !

    This is a good definition I think, would be the way I see it.

    reminds me of a classic from a spanish mate of mine a few years back. he said he met a girl in a bar. so i asked 'did she go back to your place?' he replied 'yes, we had sex but we did not make love'

    I just got my heart ripped out of my chest and trampled on. Literally in the last 2 hours, I'm numb. Completely numb. Love has left me now and I will be without it for a very long time.

    Cuppa tea and all that.... :rolleyes:

    Yeah that's all I do lately is have exuberant **** when I am lucky, "but as empty experiences go, they are the best empty experiences"

    I think there are two separate (or maybe more) visions of love. While I can do without the intense, can think of nothing but you, drama filled, near panic of being "in love" I really don't want to live without the softer more encompassing act of loving.

    I don't think it would be possible to survive without some form of love.

    According to Dr Helen Fisher love can be divided into three entities

    LOVE IS BLIND

    Scientists have discovered that certain parts of the brain become deactivated when we're in love, including areas linked with negative emotions, planning, critical social assessment, the evaluation of trustworthiness and fear.

    Biological studies have found that this phase of reduced cognitive function, during which faults are ignored, can last from one to two and a half years. This temporary state of delusion has a vital human function. If we immediately saw all our partner's faults, we would be less likely to form a stable relationship in which to produce children. :D

    Anyone who has had a relationship can testify to that.

    The 'wtf was I thinking' syndrome:eek:
