Defining Love

[GiveawayGirl]

Y'know, I have a feeling that many people out there get Love and Lust confused. Not saying anyone here has, but it might be something to keep in mind if conversation turns to love at first sight...

I believe in lust at first sight.....absolutely!

In my book love is something that grows..........in some cases like a fungus

 

[GiveawayGirl]

But we can reach that point where we're willing to risk deep heartbreak in believing in the relationship and do more than just hope to make it work.

ah, I think this is where one ends up in the barrel, poised to be thrown over the edge.......it's the lucky soul who finds someone who doesn't give them a great big heave-ho!

At the risk of soundy corny, I am one who believes in love blossoming like a thornless rose...

Did I really just say that?!?

thats funny...remind me not to drink tea when i read your posts...lol


well i believe everyone has the same advantage in life and you can chose to play hard or sit back ...so i think that if there is something that you feel is a good thing it becomes a sure thing depending how you go after it...
I have been good ...crazy but good ...how have you been??every thing going well???

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you spew your tea

It's been crazy-busy here too......but if I ever found some quiet time I would have no idea what to do with it anyway! I figure busy keeps me out of trouble

There's nothing wrong with corny at all. I admire your optimism

GG I cant believe anyone would want to give you the heave ho ever...so its something I think should never worry you in a relationship
Besides its women that decide when to heave ho never men...LOL

hmmm i find that impossible...hes the fool there...
I have a question for this thread..do you think it is possible to fall in love from online chat???

To be completely honest, I think it's possible to see the budding signs of love electronically, or perhaps the potential for love. But I do believe that "real" love needs to have some basis in reality to be real. To some extent, we can all bear our best without checks and balances in the electronic world. In order to love someone, you must truly know them........develop a familiarity, comfort level, and shared experiences.

Absolutely, in fact you could say its a more genuine falling in love since there is no physical contact you need to release yourself to the intellect of the individual you fall in love with.....
hell thats my take on it at least!

Definitely. That does not mean its a wise thing to do....lol. I've done it twice in the past. You get to know people more online (IF they are not putting on a persona and role playing with you), than you do in real life, in a shorter amount of time. After all, what can you do here but talk. The problem, though, is too many people thing because they can talk to someone here, and enjoy their company, that it will be the same in real life, when there is more to do than just sit with each other and talk. Its easy not to realize that you may have few or no things in commong you both like to do, for instance.

I'd agree with you on that one. As there is no physical contact, you are just a meeting of minds and personalities - both of which, I feel, are integral parts of true love

Without a basis in reality there can't be complete love. Love has to encompass the whole person, and you just don't get the whole person online, no matter how spontaneous and wonderful the conversation gets to be.

I like GG's take here - you need the shared experiences that enable the love to grow.

(And preferably not like a fungus)

Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.
Hence the number of online love affairs continues to grow, the pain felt when that love is lost is every bit as great as in a person on person relationship.
Thats my take on it ......

Nahh Screesh theres nuttin between us she's just an exhibitionist is all here lemme get that bloody pen for ya luv!

The thing is, though, online you get to know someone far more intimately than you usually do in real life. Yes, some people put on masks when they are here (and that happeens in real life too), but, those who just try to presene thier best face, but are still being themselves, will usually open up and show their true self once a relationship gets more serious, again, just like in real life.

Oh shit! I just knocked over my pen cup ..... would ya mind? look theres one over there under the table too

but communication is the key to a healthy relationship..or is it sex i forget...

There is no one single key in my view. Communication is critical, but so are patience, understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, and the willingness to extend ourselves completely to the betterment of our beloved.

Sex? That's the vehicle with which we do a fair amount of our communication, caring, and acceptance. It is through the body that we make love to the spirit whom we love.

I hope that makes sense.
