What is love and how do you know it is when you think it is?
Nobody get mad at me, for this is for Vec..not myself..although I would like to know.
Is it just one of those things that you think of while you're washing your hands with the hand sanitizer in the port-o-potty? You just think, *self..is this love? I think it is* I have no idea..somebody who's been in love (a mutual love, otherwise I'd answer) Please answer.

When you find yourself staying up to un-holy hours of the morning (read: 3 am on a school night) just waiting for the person who is 10,000 miles away to sign on AIM. Then, when you are struggling to stay awake, your PowerBook tells you what you have been waiting to here all night: "<insert name> is available". Your energy level goes from 0 to 60 in half a second
I really hope my nosy brother doesn't read this post....

...and then seven months later when it is decided that you two can no longer move on together you spend your free time crying and carving broken hearts into your forearm (that still show up as clearly as when you did it)
I feel like I may have gotten too personal, or shared a little too much, but whatever.

I've found it to be where the other person dominates all parts of your life,and where you spend your free time thinking about them, their perfectness, what you can do to make them happy, and not just about having sex with them, or something similar. Where just seeing that person can make your day.

That sounds like me with my ex. Except that instead of carving broken hearts into my forearm I stabbed broken glass into my soul.

It can and must be distinguished from a crush, or proximity infatuation. When you have a crush on someone, it may feel like love (personal experience, met a girl while walking home from school one day in 8th grade and became somewhat obsessed with her for the next year or so, once crying myself to sleep over the notion that I'd never have her, though I'd only spoken a couple dozen words to her) but when you've felt true love, you look back at crushes and they seem empty and utterly pointless.
I think that love is something that's built slowly on trust and selflessness. To me, love at first sight is a complete crock.
I met the woman I plan to marry when we were both 15 in our 10th grade english class in December 2001. She was fun to talk to and had neat ideas, and by the end of the year I began hanging out with her friends rather than my own, who I don't really have anything in common with anymore. When our junior year began, we sat together in our chemistry class and were lab partners all year. In February 2003 something bad happened between her and her family. She opened up to me for the first time and told me things about herself that I'd never guessed, and I did everything I could to help her through this difficult time. Looking back, she notes that I was the only one who was trying to support her and help her reestablish trust with her family, rather than, as her other friends were doing, trying to get her to stop letting her parents force their will on her. The next time I saw her, I gave her a long hug and let her cry on my shoulder, trying to give her strength, and not long after these events, at the end of March, I decided that I liked her as more than just a friend.
So you see that indeed, for me, anyway, it is through trust and selflessness that love for someone is established.
Following these events, I kept my feelings secret, because it was still far too soon, and I definitely wasn't ready. As time went on, my feelings grew, and as I found out later, she was by the end of summer feeling a great need to be loved. I won't go into the intricacies, but toward the beginning of December she made a move on me, because out of her male friends I was the most caring and interesting. It was subtle; she merely began taking my arm and placing it around her while we sat together eating lunch in the hallways, and I decided that it was time to tell her how I felt, but she beat me to it on December 16th, 2003. Later in the month I did unveil my true love for her, and a month after that she confirmed that she felt the same.
We celebrated 6 months together last week.
This is just my situation. This is how I've experienced love, and you're welcome to disagree with my conclusions that it takes mutual trust and selflessness.
If you think I've gotten too personal here, oh well. It's part of my explanation and helps to show that it's not a simple, brief, or easy process.

I asked my mom, "Mom, you have so many people in your life that you think you're truly in love with. How do you know when you've found the right one."
She said,
"Rule of thumb is (or at least with me) That you have to "fall in love" several times before you actually find that perfect someone."
Well, I've been in love three times. First time, was 2 years..the guy then went for my "best friend". Second time, it was that feeling that nemo talked about, but instead of something happening, I just landed a case of 2 weeks crying in the dumps. Third time, I think he loved me too, for a while, then he moved on..

Wow, nemo..I am surprised..but that's awesome!
What, exactly, are you surprised about?
Quote
*takes a walk down memory lane*
In my opinion, any guy who can move on or go for someone else isn't in love and isn't worth your time.
At the moment, I feel that if my relationship ended (god forbid), for whatever reason, I'd never love again. If you'd caught me at one of those rare times when I'm not feeling especially good about my life, I'd say that there's no point in continuing to live, without her around.
That's the kind of devotion you're looking for in a long term relationship, if I do say so myself. Although it carries the risk that the guy would be irreparably damaged if something happened to you, and nobody wants that.

Love is when you can fit the left foot in the right shoe.
Deep.
I've seen plenty of portipotties with hand sanitizers. You people need to go on more vacations through the western US. You see all kinds of bathrooms because there are so few you can almost never afford to pass one up.
Anyways, love is not a set thing. No one can tell you what love is for you, and if they could, it would likely be useless for Vec, who you are asking for.
In my opinion, love is when the person you love could break your leg with a bowling ball, and you wouldn't change your feelings toward them. <---courtesy of ESW.
