The English word LOVE has too many meanings for a simple answer.
How many different words for different kinds of love does your language have?
And another question: Do you use the same word for the "love" a 12-year-old girl feels for her teacher and the love between spouses who have been married for 50 years? |

Thanx for the answer, Jamie, but I've asked a straight question "What does Love mean to YOU" and not what meanings it has as an English word. IT'S A GAME!!! I could ask any other question like "What season do you like best" etc. You seem to misunderstood me a little.

| Yes, but to me LOVE has so many separate meanings that it's impossible to say what it means. That's my answer! I answered your question! |

To me Love means much more than just an emotion. In my life it occupies a very important place and I'm sure that none can live without it. Love combines passion, appreciation, respect, ability to split the difference between the twos.
Would you like to get wings and fly? |

That's good Maryann.
I didn't get what you meant by ability to split the difference between the twos

By splitting the difference I meant soothing conflicts by comming to the compromise. If someone knows better explanation - write it here. And, dear deamon, please post your own question not repeating mine, ok?

I think people used to make chairs with four legs along time ago so it might be a habit and for sure chairs with four legs have much balance My question is also about love : How do you know that you are in love ? Don't say something like my feelings will tell me and if so please tell us about this feelings |

Yes part of it is habit but you are wrong about four legged chair having more balance. It is the most common misconception! You can have any form of surface and have it stand on three points! So yes, you have solved the mystery!  |

This answer goes to Waelsaeed, when you feel like you missing that person, feel like you want to see her/him or want to hear their voice so bad that you would go to her/his house in the mid-of the night just to hear a word good night. Hope I answer it well, and goes to the question on the top one too. Yes love could split you into a two difference world. You'll realize it when you come across it.
My question is " What will love left for you when it falls apart?" |

thanks janz for your answer.I think I read it more than five times and believe me you make me felt every single word you said. My answer for your question: I think love will left a broken heart and memories I can't ever forget.Memories about all what you said but this times it will make me suffer not to feel happy when love was there. |
