Re: Love?
No, but you do come across as sarcastic and antagonistic. You need to work on that.
Agreed. Age should not be a requirement to wisdom. It should be an indicator, within a set of indicators.

Re: Love?
I think that love is all in your head. There is definitely such a thing as compatibility and attraction, but I think that in order for someone to feel "love" they have to want to feel love. It's not an inherent feeling that just springs up between two people. It's a feeling that has to be fostered and worked on for two people. All it really is is the feeling of partnership. This is why you could love someone without being romantically involved with them. Love is a sense of trust and care between two people.
The romantic love that most middle-schoolers act like they know so well when they've been "dating" their girlfriend for two weeks is completely unfounded. If anything, they feel a mutual attraction, but that has nothing to do with love. I feel many one-way attractions to many, many men in this world but that doesn't mean that I'm in love with them. Basically, love is when you can answer positively to the following questions "Would my life be significantly worse if I were suddenly without this person?" and "Would I be willing to sacrifice other important aspects of my life for this person?" Until both of those questions have an unyielding "yes", then you're not really in love.

Re: Love?
Love is simply a concept we've invented when our human minds were forced to interpreter our primal instincts of lust and attraction.... if you ask me. I'm sure a lot of people who are in love would not feel as such if we weren't beings of higher thinking. I don't believe pigs can feel in-love, but they can feel lust and attraction. They simply don't have any means/reason to try and re-think it.

Re: Love?
my opinions on the whole matter are very well summed up in the film 500 days of summer, see it please!
you can be as sure and in love as droded romeo and juliet but that doesn't mean the other feels the same way. the best thing you can do is take it slow, if you are interested hint them in minor ways with your almost every action.
the sad reality is, just because one person wants to make a relationship go on for years, the other person may not share that same resolve.
by all means, take the risk...but don't let your mind and anticipation get ahead of where you are in reality. it is infinitely more impossible than it sounds, but that's the best way to avoid a heartbreak.
p.s. yeah, i'll admit i tend to be the nice and sensitive type... we tend to be the undeserving bachelors unfortunately.

Re: Love?
Are we still going to have this love conversation
Whether it exist or not is impossible to prove. We can't make someone feel what we feel when it comes to love so there fore we can't prove its power over us.

Re: Love?
You can't deny a feeling that everyone feels, no matter how differently people feel it. We put names to these feelings without understanding what they actually feel like, which is what this conversation apparently proved.
I believe this discussion is about the definition of such a word anyway, not the feeling, though you bring up a good point nonetheless.
