Meh. I'd have to have been in love before I could properly define it, and that isn't going to happen any time soon.
I'm not being emo or anything when I say that. I just really don't want to bother with relationship crap right now. My life's busy enough as it is.

Love is a complex meshwork of hormone interactions and cognitive adaptations that occur between individuals to increase the chance of generating offspring and keeping the mother and father together to fulfill the typical mammalian characteristic of long-term child care, which is very evident in humans. Other forms of love are of similar makeup, and promote healthy group cohesion and overall fitness for the individuals involved.
And now that we have the cold, hard fist of science crushing our hopes and dreams for eternity, love is that fuzzy warm feeling you get when you like, love someone! Oh wait, I can't use the word I'm defining in the definition... |

Love is the flooding of the body's limbic system with phenylethylamine.
That's mostly it, really.

Can't explain all the feelings
That you're making me feel My heart's in overdrive And you're behind the steering wheel I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love I wanna kiss you Every minute every hour every day You got me in a spin But everything is "A" O.K! :P

Love is crawling there, if you couldn't walk.
Love is chasing what you want, instead of settling for what you think you deserve. Love is caring for someone more than you care for yourself. Love is asking for help, despite pride, embarassment or fear. Self doubt and confusion fade away, but love endures.

Love is a bushwhacking sonofabitch with a hefty two by four.
More precisely I think it's an understanding, an acceptance of all the terrible things in another person. The willingness to subject yourself to the unrelenting horror that is another human being. Good times all around, of course. |

I've made comment on this sort of thing before... the english word 'love' can mean a lot of things, which kind of limits it's comfortable usage. I belive greek uses four different words that translate into the modern english word 'love', which makes it a lot easier to convey the context of what you mean. 'Agape' is a princepled love that extends to strangers and familers alike - essentially, it makes you do what is morally right, even at some cost to yourself. 'Philia' is a direct, personal love, between freinds. 'Storge' is family love, such as a parent would have for a child. And finally, your favorite kind of love, 'Eros' is romantic (or 'Erotic?) love. The kind that makes you buy flowers or flattering underwears for your signifigant other in hopes of further 'expressing' your 'love' in a more private setting.

I had to say that. See, love is a completely inspecific term since it can talk about love of mankind, meaning a general approval or appreciation of a vague term. It can also mean a profound attatchment or enjoyment with the subject. Or married/intimate love, meaning you want to be with them for whatever indefinate term qualifies as "forever." Sometimes you can have fun with inspecific articles like love, too. For example, I love Zelda. It's an vague term and a profound attatchment with a subject. And, theoretically (since it's a name), it's possible to have sex with Zelda. Voila! All three articles!

Well, let's assume for a moment that your referring to the kind of love that would apply toward a relationship.
My 5 year anniversary is quickly approaching (only two of which are married, btw) and my opinion on the matter is pretty simple. Love is the desire to make a person happy. Pure, plain, simple. Caring for someone is not love. You can care for someone greatly and still not love them. Cause if you care, your concerned about how they are, what they do, and such. But if you love 'em, you just want to make them happy. Granted, it helps if your love also happens to be a hot gamer. Damn, I'm lucky.
