One talks of love in many ways. All of you want to love someone. Many of you are in love and in a relationship. You use the word in different ways, sometimes without truly understanding the meaning of it. Let us ask you a simple question. How does one feel loved? Imagine a mother and her child together. If the child falls, the mother rushes to her child to take care and stop him/her crying. That is extreme worry and care for someone. Do you feel that kind of care and worry for your beloved? Have you watched a river rushing to meet the ocean? If you meet your beloved after few days, will she/he rush towards you in that hurry? Have you ever felt that? Watch the dry earth. It looks for rains. It desperately wants rain. Do you sense that kind of want in your sweetheart for you? Put your head in water and stop breathing. You want to breathe; otherwise you feel that you will die. Does your partner show that kind of love without you that she/he will die without you? If your answers to all these is yes, you are being loved. so what do you say........

Being loved and loving some1 is the most beautiful thing that can happen to someone. Love is divine.I was in a relation but things did not work out and i know how it feels like to be loved. According to me all the answers to your questions have just one answer for me! and that is "YES"!!but not anymore..now the answers for me to your questions are NO..:( but 1 thing i can say with my head up is that Being loved and being in a relation is the most beuatiful thing that can ever happen to some one. SO guys If you arent in love, You're missing something..And I really liked your discussion chaitrakrishan ! Keep up the good work!

I really like your discussion and I'll try to give you a good response. I have a girlfriend and I have a long term relationship since 2 years. For first question I think I alwasy have a worry for my girlfriend and she always wanna come back to me even if she goes away for a moment. My girlfriend is telling me everytime she has the ocasion to tell me that she can not live without me .. and she always wants to spend more and more time with me. I feel loved.. I enjoy her love and I love her very very much. I think in 2 or 3 years I will marry her:)

I have a boyfriend too and in a long term relationship since 5 years on and off and a new 1 year straight long distance relationship. My boyfriend were like the way your girlfriend is, going away and keep on coming back. In just a different situation. Yeah, whenever someone special to you wants to spend a lifetime moment like that, that where love exist. Goodluck ^^

I'm currently in a long distance relationship and sadly ofcourse I'm not ok with it. It's like I want to breathe just like what you've said so therefore, love is within me. I like what you've said about the child and mother. Yeah, my boyfriend is actually begging me to go back home so we can be happy together, but the problem is that I'm so confused because love is there but the career is here. You see, we both love each other and get hurt in many ways. (sigh)

I like your discussions very much. Some people cann't distinguish between love and likness. When we like someone we try hard to to get the person. When we love a person we will try to make the person happy forever. Like means like a child crying for a toy. Love means feeling coming for inside of the heart. Like you said of the mother to her child. Real love are rare, but still can be found in the world.

I've been with my boyfriend for 7 months now, and here's how I've seen it. We're hardly together, but when I think about the chance I get to be with him, I can feel his arms around me. When I go to sleep at night, I imagine his body entangled in mine and I can feel the warmth. If we have an insignificant argument, it feels like both of our worlds are crashing down because for one small moment we can't get along. I know I'm loved, because no one's ever made me feel this amazing before. He makes me feel perfect and he doesn't have to do a thing.

hi, Its nice to read about your description of love. I want to make just one correction. The feeling of 'i cant live without you' is quite negative, and premature. Its all good to bond and show affection. But if, God forbid, something separtes the two, they shouldn't lose life. That doesnt mean that the feeling of love vanished though.

I agree. But it has already been attached to loving. And i felt that many times in my life too. Yet saying that doesnt make me think of killing myself or trying to end myself for love. It kinda was made like a metaphor in trying to explain what love is like. Yet love is still unexplainable.

hey chatish, youre right love has different forms.. i.e, solid, liquid and gases.. i know! youre confused but love can be deceiving or true.. how does one tell is more of a valid question? if one met a girl whose bank account was tops, then funny how fast he fell in love with her on the other hand.. sometimes love can be true but people change over time as their experiences do.. so it is a fact to say that although person A loved person B truly in year C, today at present (year D), he loves person E!!

Hey There, Your disscussion is very interesting and deep. It may be easier for 1 and harder for another to find out how much really does their lover love them, but the true love of a mother and a child would only be among mother and a child, u cannot love someone the same way a mother love her child. It is something that happens naturally and u cannot do anything about it. Mother has kept her child inside and provided nourishment for a long time, so the bond is very strong. On the otherhand, two strangers to have such a srtong bond would not be possible, there would be a limit to it. Anyway, hopefully ur loved one love u dearly. Also check out my poem titled, "Beloved".

I know love for a fact i'm in love with someone that feels the same as if he can't breath without me and he can't stop thinking about me. We r truely soul mates in every extent of the word. I dream about him and then the next day it comes true. I know when he is restless because i am too. We can't be together right now due to far to complicated matters to even begin to explain but our hearts belong together and my breath literally is taken away when i see him. He makes me feel so special and gives me his undevided attention. He knows what i'm thinking when i don't say it even the look on my face says it all. And i truely love him so much.He is my perfect man and no one can top him that's how i know. When your heart won't forget because it just can't and when u sleep next to each other or are with each other u r perfectly content. My heart breaks that i cannot be with him right now!
