I've never gotten a straight up answer that seemed like it could be right? Any ideas?

I think there is no particular answer or meaning in that question. It is up to the person on how she or he understand about love because every person has their own meaning about love... It depends on how you experience it, on how you want to experience it, and on how you want to feel it... But for me love is the most powerful things in this world.. Because when you feel love or when you are experiencing love you can do the things that is impossible... You can survive in the most painful way... You can understand to the most difficult things that is happening in your life...For as long as the person you love is just there always besides you no matter what problems you had in life... When there is love, everything is possible even we know that it is impossible... That makes the life of the person strong and weird just because of that LOVE...

Love cannot be explained in words. It is a feeling which you must feel in order to understand.

I wasn't sure what love is until recently, but I think I understand what it is now. When I was a teenager I sometimes would feel intensly interested in a boy and being with him and talking and laughing at eachother's jokes made me happy. I thought that was love. Then as a young single adult I would find a young man and be interested and be able to give of myself to him, and that made me even happier. I thought that was love, but it was incomplete. When I got married to someone I was interested in, who I could give of myself to and he would return in kind, I was joyful and thought that that was love. I was getting close. Now I am a mother and find myself giving complete devotion to my family, especially my baby boy. I can't stand to sleep for the happiness I feel when I see my son and husband together. I feel more joy and happiness than I've ever felt. I want to do more and better for my family, and become the kind of person I'm truely meant to be, which is kind, benevolent, patient, helpful, and understanding, as well as every other kind of virtue human-kind can attain to. That's what love is. It's wanting to be better not to the point of simply hoping, but doing and going beyond all you've ever done before.

Read Corinthians 13 in Bible that is the true meaning of love.
