Topic: Your Views on Love

Everyone has their own opinion on this, but I've decided to make a forum about it.

Exactly, what is love?

I used to think it was just some hormone in the human mating system. But when it happens to you, it's so much more. It affects every one of you emotions in a fairly large way. It makes you discover yourself.

So, whaddo ya think? Please post!

To be honest, though I'm a hopeless romantic in my writing, I don't really believe in love. I think love is just how I write it - fictional.

I'm a romance-based writer myself. I can't write anything without putting some romance into the story plot. I used to think that love is, as you said, fictional. But now, since one of my friends has gotten herself a boyfriend, I guess it's becoming more real for me.

I don't think love is fictional. Some people just don't fall in love. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But for those who DO believe in love--what exactly IS it?

True, but the thing is, it's so hard to say what love is that you can't always determine what it is. Therefore, anything that cannot be determined are usually seen as fictional.

Hopefully that made sense.

I see what ya mean. I just wonder if someone thinks they know what it is.

Maybe, maybe not. Love is probably one of those words that means different things to everyone.

True, true. But that's just what I'm looking for--what different people think about love.

I believe in love, but I think that you have to grow up before you can actually know what it is – that doesn't necessarily mean grow up physically, turn eighteen or anything; it means grow up mentally, and whether you're 12 or 32 when this happens, you can't really fall in love beforehand.

That's utterly true! You can't be in 3rd grade and think you know what love is.

I have a new subject about love to discuss:

Falling in love with celebrities, characters, adults who can't love you back(i.e.are married, dating, or altogether out of range), unavailable people(age limit or not), etc. Ridiculous? Hormonal? Or can true love blossom from such a situation?

Tell me what you guys think. I'm eager to read. :)

Love is a feeling. It is a feeling between people - there are different types of people. It is a bond. It is part of our emotions. In terms of romance, love is the feeling that leads us to our affections. It is biased. There is no exact answer. There is no right or wrong.

That is love.

so far...from what i've discovered...it seems like it's very difficult to have a commited relationship in the entertainment industry. but i still believe that it is possible to still discover love with celebrities. just hard to maintain it. somehow, the media makes it very distinguishable that romance in the entertainment industry is just for popularity or public attention. so i have to admit, it can be hard sometimes to trust whether a couple will really endure in this sort of setting.

also, i think age differences shouldn't be a problem in romance. whether young or old, its the feelings and emotions that build up a firm relationship. =]

Well, the media does put a lot of crap out there. You just have to know whether you believe it or not. If the media says something is 'hot', a lot of the population follows suit. So with that in mind, how can we be sure someone who loves a celebrity isn't just eating up what the media says?

(Sorry if anyone here is offended by swear words, but to me that's the only word(crap) to describe exactly what the media puts out there; stupid, useless things)

Yeah, age difference shouldn't really matter. But sometimes, it doesn't work. But it truly depends on the situation.

Also, something else I'd like to talk about:

Looks. A lot of times, someone will get a crush because the other person is 'good-looking.' I don't believe in that, AT ALL, but most people do. Opinions, anyone?

looks...looks...looks...

in my opinion, i say that not everyone is impressed by good looks at first sight so as to start a relationship. however, i do feel that society does embrace the fact that they want to find "good-looking" people to date. its normal, not bad. but if someone only wants to date people who are beautiful than i say that person is totally ignorant.

i have to admit, i've had crushes on guys who were cute, but that doesn't mean i automatically fall in love with them. sometimes ppl can't help what they feel. we all have different tastes. someone might be cute in my friend's perspective, but i might think that guy's not in my field of interest. lol. so yea...so in my mind, looks is an overpowering factor for most ppl; not everyone. for me...i've learned over my growing years (and still learning) that looks only want to hold your interest for "a few minutes" but after those "minutes" are over than it all goes down to personality.

so forever and ever, personality will always rule out looks. i totally agree to that. looks shouldn't matter AT ALL when determining if a person truly loves someone.

this was an interesting topic like the others. :]

Actually, hon, age differences can be a HUGE problem--see: statutory rape.

It also depends on how old the characters are at the time of the relationship; a 45-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man is normal. A 15-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, not so much. There are huge developmental (mental as well as physical) gaps between adolescents, and depending on how old the kids in question are, the gaps could mean more. A sixth grader and an eighth grader would have a crap relationship--ten years later? Not so much.

A bit of a nitpick, but an important one.

love is stupid and over-rated. it leads to babies, and they annoy the hell out of me

that does nothing but fall

Love exists if you believe. It's just a deep emotional connection to another person that is hard to achieve unless you are related.

You are an idiot, then. Is your parent's love for you stupid? You were a baby, don't be so hard. They can't use words to say what they want, they can only cry if they can't crawl or point. Your a hypocrite.

I agree, FD. I decided not to respond to the person because I wasn't sure where the logic was. You're right, FD. Except, it can be easy to love someone who is not related to you. Well, not easy, but it happens all the time.

Love is real. Like you said, it exists if you believe. So overall, it has to exist, because so many people believe.

That's true, but it would take time to form a connection that is that strong. I love romance forums. Fantasy has no good ones. Honestly, they think elements are only for fighting...

Yeah, that's true. But it's easier than it sounds.
