What do you think love means to you?
We all have our own opinions on everything. So here is something we all need to explain. Also it might help out others that need help finding love. Don't you think?
Most people know what (love) means to them. However where they get into trouble is when they "assume" their definition of love is (universal).
If their mate/spouse/friend or family member doesn't live up to (their) expectations with regard to behavior, deeds, or spoken words they decide this person does NOT love them. Perception is reality.
If someone does not (feel) loved {they believe} they're not loved!
The same applies to anyone who uses terms like "A real man/woman does....etc" Essentially a "real man/woman" does what (they) believe such a person should be doing.
Love is having someone who genuinely cares about your wellbeing and happiness in life aside from yourself. Platonic or romantically.
Going beyond that it is up to the various individuals and their own "litmus tests" to determine if they (feel) they are loved.
There is no "right" or "wrong' only "agree" and "disagree".
Maybe we should ask potential mates: "How do you know when you are loved?" Based upon their answer we'll know if we're right for them because we know how (we express) our love when we're "in love".
The goal then becomes finding someone who (naturally) loves you "the way" YOU want or need to (feel) loved!
Love means giving your heart to someone that you can trust. Usually, love makes people do crazy things.
One kind of love is romantic love, one between two people. Romance is also closely tied to sexual attraction, and is sometimes confused by the two. Two people usually try to test the waters first, trying to find out if the other likes the other, courting them by giving them flowers and chocolate. If the two find out that the attraction is mutual, the pair tries to pursue their relationship further. As time passes, the duo will either fall harder for each other, or slowly start to fall apart. If the two falls in love with each other, then they will get married and live a happy life. Sadly, human cycle only lasts for such a short time that they are forced to be apart by death. As a result, the person that has been left behind will feel empty and broken. Sometimes, people that truly love their other half commit suicide after, just so that they could be together.
Another kind of love is maternal love, one that a parent/parents harbor for their child/children. Parents sacrifice a lot for their children, working jobs when they could be doing nothing or just relaxing, paying for their children's education when they could be saving up their money for a trip around the world, to just plainly having to take care of them from infancy to teenagehood, or sometimes in early adulthood. Children should try to appreciate their parents more, since they are the ones providing everything that the child needs.
Hope that would be helpful.^^
