    Is it a spiritual connection, or is it more of a chemical bond, an addiction that a person forms with another person?

    I personally take the chemical view. This is partly a view I have always held, and partly the result of a recent break-up. Relationships never seem to be based on anything so solid as a spiritual bond.

    My nickname here is for both me and my soulmate wife of almost 24 years. Love is everything you've already written about and a million more things.

    It's about ups-and-downs in everyday life.
    It's about getting excited to see her or him and then when you do - you're in heaven.
    It's about getting so damned irritated by her/him that all you can do is have supercharged make-up sex!
    It's about your hormones telling you, hey dude, this is it! ...and it...and it...and........

    I think during the relationship, you might completely believe there is some sort of deep connection, but a few weeks after its over, you realize that it truly is just an addiction. I think its a bit funny that people convince themselves that they have so much in common even though they are only physically attracted to eachother.

    I have been called a pessimistic and cold person, but I believe in love. Maybe I am not so hopeless ~_~

    I do think one can love inconditionally. I love someone that I am not with anymore. I still love him genuinely without necessarily feeling the need to be with him. I think it is all about the appreciation and respect you have for someone.

    Don't think I am a fool in love. I have given up all hope to be with him, and do hope he is happy. Hopefully I can find another man I can feel the same way about.

    Reciprocated love would be ideal .. but love alone is a nice thing.

    Spiritual connection. Spirit speaks to spirit. Sometimes we're attracted to people and don't know why... there's no physical or mental attraction, there's just something. But, most of the time, cause we live so much in the material, form-filled world and aren't connected spiritually, we label the attraction "chemistry". And if the chemistry is good, we can easily become addicted. But I think it all evolves from spirit, we just don't recognize or understand it to be that way (b/c we try to conceptualize everything, and mind doesn't comprehend spirit and vice versa).

    I tend to agree with bobblebrain. It all starts off with physical attraction and once that is there love there, or also there has to be. If love is something chemical or spritual how can it just dissappear in a day, a minute or a second?
    I have become very cynical when it comes to love. Just after high school my then gf the last I ever had decided it was over. We were seeing each other for about 2 years. Since then I have not had a gf and am not looking for love. I am just happy having fuck buddies. No strings attached and no one gets hurt

    I think both, I mean I love Shaun for the connection we have, but I do get a endorphine rush when he's around. Which is chemical.

    they just want to tell the other that their relationship is sth predeterminate and conceal what they real think.
