    It seems to me that what most people call love is mere attatchment to a certain peson. In a relationship like that, most expect them to recieve love from their partner, but never think how they can send love to their partner.

    Is there really anything that separates romantic love from compassionate love for everyone?

    If attatchment is the only difference, then why bother with romantic love?

    im just confused and skeptical right now, so anything will help.

    Romantic love and compassionate love to me are two different things. Romantic love is an intimate sexual relationship between two people and compassionate love is an understanding of the emotional state of another. Romantic love is not just about sex, its about feeling excitement towards another. When you hold hands while your walking, when you hug or kiss, and when you have a candle light dinner or something like that thats when you feel excitement. Compassionate love is when you have an emotional connection with someone. I dont have much to say about comppasionate love but i do know its about emotions and empathy you have towards another person. But trust me romantic love and compassionate love are 2 things that you need in a relationship in order to be happy.

    There is no such thing as unconditional love. EVERYTHING comes with conditions. I've had my fantasies and dreams of it, but no matter how you examine somthing as long as you ARE examining it, you'll find the conditions on witch "love" is set. In any and every relationship. No exceptions.

    They say the only unconditional love is between a parent and offspring, but thats exactly the condition. The irreversible relationship itself IS the condition that hosts the love in question.

    Love can be compared to a parasite. It won't be where there is nothing to feed on.

    Though this is not an entirely pessimistic ideal, it is merely and enlightening fact. Many would say i'm coldhearted for saying such things, but on the contrary, this displays that i still have faith in romantic ideals. I just don't have any faith in magic.

    Everyone has their own conditions that they have compiled over the course of their lifetime that are subtly changing continuously. My conditions are mostly based on common interests and a flexible and compassionate personality that compliments my own. That combined with somebody that is willing to give love as i am is near perfect. Not a "deciding" facter, but looks and how aesthetically pleasing someone is is a good thing to, but the way somone looks is just an added bonus that isn't really necessary.


    In short, true love does not exist. More so, is WORKING love. A love that can work between two individuals; their previously (consciously or unconsciously) set conditions, and their ability to compromise with those conditions.

    True love is when just being with a person makes you feel that happy inside, and all you want is to do whatever to have that person be that happy too.

    True love? It can be hard to find. Sometimes it finds you. (Smilin` 38) There are
    things working behind "the invisible veil of life" that we have no real understand-ing of here on earth. But when true love found me....Blew my mind. Commitment to his/her heart, soul, spirit. Honesty, Patience, Respect, listen to one another`s feelings--we don`t all feel what the other person in the relationship feels. The pain that can come into that ones life...without full understanding hurts all involved. To stay at ones side no mattter what, to reach for their hand and say "Babe, I have given of myself completely to you, I am here to help you through all...the good and the bad--the best and the worst--the thick and the thin"
    The shoulder of each other, to lean your head/ heart on. And still know that that person will still be there no matter what you are going through or he is going through.
    He/she makes your heart sing unexplainably-for no known reason but you feel it, you hear it in your soul. The undieing love to one another, pray for one anothers--
    heart that it will be able to sing to the highest song possible, of what two people can possible make together in this life time.
    Time and life is so very precious, spend more time loving and caring than fighting. Put the energy towards good things in your relationship live and love whole heartedly, life is hard and it can suck. But when there is that person, given to you from God himself--it is a gift so special, so beautiful, so precious, his/her life is as yours is. touch, cherish, smile, and care. A life so meaningful can happen beyond belief,,,I am there now and am sooooo very lucky,,,

    the only condition of the love I feel for the person who I do love is that it is that person (as opposed to all of humanity) one could argue that, though it could be described as a condition for some logical plays, would, in reality, be an environmental variable.

    thing is love is outside of logic, I'm a great fan of logic, so it was REALLY REALLY hard for me to accept that at first, now, I'm okay with it. I got over the "no logic zone" panic attack <seriously, logic defines everything in my life> and I have to tell you, love, real love, is outside of it, and is unconditional, she could have a complete change of appearance, pesonality, get a sex change, become a serial killer, and though I would be confused as fuck, I would still love her.

    it makes more sense from this side, last year, I would have read anything similar, and called the person saying it insane, now, I know, my picture of the world was lower resolution than was required to make such judgements.

    true love to me is not getting hurt after a break up, pain goes away over time , but when you know you guys are not meant to break apart you accept it, you dont wish harmful things to your loved one, you say whatever happens, happens, then you know it, you guys are giving it another shot, also, true love is not SHOWING people you guys are in love, people know it immediately
