Love is lending someone your sleeve to wipe away their runny nose when there is no tissue to be found.

You know love is a happy time. All throughout the universe.
It's when the male part of the species goes to the female part of the species and says:
"Hey, do you want to go on a date?"
And then she would say: "Why yes, I'd like to go on a date."
If you're LUCKY!-
And then you go to a restaurant, and she gets something called
A salad.
And then he gets a big piece of meat, that he eats.
And that to me ladies and gentlemen, is LOVE.
Kinda makes you cry, doesn't it?

I think there are several actions that most people will do as a result of the emotion of love. Like I said, overlooking faults, loyalty and commitment. I think that's pretty universal.Originally posted by: Aikouka
Now, trying to define what you call true love through actions... it's not possible. Emotions are relational to the person in which you're basing it from. For example, I may come to the conclusion of love much different than you or anyone else on these forums, or it's quite possible that we both do it in the same manner. That's the reason we define love as an emotion and not stimuli or the direct result there of. Because an emotion is still the same... same brain function in the same area.
Yes, but in my definition, her hugging is not really love. It's just an emotional response, which is the emotion of love. I don't consider that an action caused by love. To me that's all part of the emotion.Now, you'll notice that I also mentioned "direct result there of" in that past paragraph. That's because love (or any emotion) has a stimuli and a direct action following it. You could also take your argument and define it from a result as there's actually a cause -> effect -> result when it comes to that. For example, girlfriend hugs you after she's been gone for awhile, you start to feel happy inside that you've seen her because you've missed her, you hug her back. Her initial cause made your sense of love rise and made you hug back.
I hope that spiel made sense .
A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

A 90-year old man needed to take a blood test. He had an appointment at 8:30 am at the doctor's office.
The office is running a little late, and the old man is getting antsy, constantly glancing at his watch. The nurse notices this and can't help wondering to herself what kind of a rush a 90-year old man can be in. At 8:50 he finally stands up and tells the nurse that he had an 8:30 appointment. The nurse sees how riled up he is and calls him in for his test.
When he gets in there she asks his "What's the big rush"?
He answers "every day at 9:30 I have breakfast with my wife".
"I didn't know you had a wife. Why is she not here with you?"
"She's in a nursing home. Everyday I take the bus there and have breakfast with her."
"Wow, she must really love you".
"Actually, she has no idea who I am. She not really aware of anything anymore."
"So why the big rush? She doesn't remember you anyway."
The old man shook his head slowly.
"No, she doesn't. But I remember her."
