A question for the older and the wise-- opinions?

Real love is like a seed that is planted and it grows deep solid roots from being nurtured. It is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is patient, tolerant, forgiving and expects nothing in return. It wants the best for the other person. It involves intimacy as well as passion. It's about being emotionally and intellectually compatible. Love is a calmer, more mature feeling. It is a sense of stability. Love is still exciting, at times. It can change day-to-day. Love takes work. The feelings are not supported by the highs of hormones, but by a shared love and respect for each other. Love is what exists after infatuation fades, if you are lucky.

So many young people spend their entire teen years being "in love"...........and how many of those young teens are "in love" with someone new every few weeks or months? Teen love is more about "me".....and what that person can do for them.........or how that person can make them feel. It's sexual energy that is seeking release. It often starts when someone stares at them, smiles at them, thinks they're 'hot' which is what the foundation for that love is based on...........that means there are no solid roots to withstand the day to day problems that come up in every relationship.

Teenagers and adults can fall madly, impulsively in love and then in other cases they can take their time, be responsible and set the foundations for years of future happiness. I don't believe it's about age, it's about the individuals. Some people grow up faster than others and some never grow up, I think the definition of teenage love is that it's rash and impulsive but that's just what happens when you jump into love head first, adults do that as well, they just know it's probably best to slow things down a bit so there's less chance of heartbreak.

Therefore, I guess adults guard their hearts more than teens, they feel like they have more to lose and less time to find someone new in. Both forms of love can happen at any age, neither is more valid than the other in my opinion.

Hard to say. If you wanna know what love is, then perhaps the closest you can get to it is your best friend. Because love is unconditional; this doesn't mean you will still follow around an abusive partner like a lost puppy, but it would mean that while at times you will disagree, ultimately you still care for them.

Love means having respect for both yourself and them; a partner is exactly that - someone that you choose to face life with together. There may be lust mixed in, and sometimes that fades, other times it doesn't, and it's possible to get it back if it has been 'lost'.

But overall I would say love is unconditional, and it's possible to love anyone and everyone; However the person you choose to be with is your choice and the lasting relationships are usually the ones where both people respect each other and love each other, meaning that each one gets a say and both work together as a team.

The purest form of love you can find on earth is the love of a baby. It's just love, and it's unconditional. Love is hard to describe because essentially it is a feeling, but I would describe it as warm light. Like I said before, it's something akin to what you feel for your best friend.

Hope I could help.

I think that love in the romantic sense proves itself to be so when the explosion of lust is spent and you find yourself still with your partner, thinking of him, looking forward to seeing him every day., still flirting like puppy love but knowing eachother like the oldest friends. The Siren call of the new exciting next relationship no longer temps you. The restlessness is gone.

It's the kind of calm that can only come with being satisfied that you've tried enough and want to settle. Teenagers don't have that because they're biologically built for wonderlust.

My suggestion may well be to attend to get your tattoo till you're one hundred% particular. waiting won't shrink the meaning of the tattoo and it may even provide you the time you're able to be able to desire to suited the layout. i wanted to get a tattoo at 18 (began designing my first one whilst i became into 17) in spite of the fact that it took me till i became into 19 to get the layout one hundred% suited. I now have 10 tattoos with that first one being 6 years previous. No regrets and that i admire all my ink.

Real love is love above all short coming, mistakes, faults. Just love in spite of.It more than a feeling much , much deeper. hard to find and often hard to keep.

Teenage love is often "Gee, this feels good."

Real love is about making the other person feel good.
