Love vs. Lust

I completely agree about seeing someone attractive and that may well be the motivation for talking to them and seeing what they are like personality-wise. They could have a personality I then like or their personality may cause me to run away

I'm gonna state my opinion here, and while alot of you may not agree, I just want to let it be put forward. Love isn't about sex, it's not about anything like that. I love someone because they are the first thing I want to see in the morning, they're the last thing I want to see when I sleep. You can't start a relationship because you like the look of someone, that's madness. Neither can you start a relationship with someone who you think looks revolting...

Love has to be mutual. If you like someone because of their looks it's not love. It's lust. If you feel like you love someone but they don't know you, it's not love. The person on the other end has to feel the same as you for it to be love.

Put it this way, the italians have it right. They have two ways of saying I Love You. The way they normally say it is Ti voglio bene. However to a select few that they really really do love they say 'ti amo' Put it this way, if you just started a relationship in Italy and said 'ti amo' as soon as you agreed to go on a date, the other person would run away from you as fast as possible. Love is something which is serious, it's something you should cherish and save. Don't ever take it for granted.


I've had a couple of hours thinking about Love, so im a bit depressed right now.
