Here lately I have been so confused about this one. When do you really love someone, and how do you categorize the different types of love? Does love endure all? Is that really all you need in a relationship? Help Me Please!!!!

Love is a very difficult thing sometimes and other times it can be very simple. Just remember LOVE ISN'T SUPPOSE TO HURT in any way. It's not suppose to hurt to love someone and someone you love isn't someone to hurt you.

My own definition of love is : "Love is the feeling that I feel about my boyfriend now":). I think love isn't something that needs definitions. It's powerful feeling. I wasn't sure if my feeling to my boyfriend is real love. And after few months together I realized, that I'm deeply in love. And I don't know how to explain this feeling. But I know it is true love. But in relationship it is more features necessary. Trust, respect, taking care of each other. But maybe they are only parts of love.

There are different types of love: 1. Physical love - physically attractive, love of the body 2. Intellectual love - you are attracted intellectually, not physically 3. Unconditional love - whether intellectually or physically, it does not matter as long as you love the person for who he/she is; God's love to mankind 4. Shallow love - loving only for a moment, time passes and love fades, it is because the love is interchanged with "liking" There are several types of love and the space ain't enough to discuss such. IF you are in a relationship you need: respect, patience, kindness, understanding,etc.
