What is love?

I had a conversation tonight with my crush (we were generally speaking, not speaking about us) about sex, and then we spoke about love.

He said lust is a part of love and I disagreed.

Him: "Love is Pain."

Me: "You risk pain for love."

Him: "Pain is love, you're gonna get hurt loving someone."

Me: "You risk pain when you fall in love because you have hope that you will find love and escape pain."

And then he said: "Yea but even loving someone and having them love you back is painful. Love is a painful feeling."

I was speechless and I feel very hurt. To me it sounds like he has no faith in true love whatsoever. I don't think he has even loved someone enough to know how great a feeling it is. But this isn't about him... what do you guys think love is?

To be honest... he is right, but only because anture always balances everything. Ying, and yang, good and bad or in love's case... pleasure and pain. If love was applied upon what everyone defines it to be then it would be unconditional. However, we all know that even in the most tight knit relationship, there has always been conditions assosiated with loving each other i.e. if you're gonna be my boyfirned/girlfriend, you cannot look at other women/men, etc.)

Yes its a very good and siblime feeling if its soley taken for the positive aspects.

Gooberzlostlovefound: Those are wonderful quotes that I resonate with.

I would also have said what your crush said about love. What he needs to understand is that is it the pain that causes one to grow..it is necessary pain that if worked through can reach ectasy. That might sound kind of sado-masochistic, which it shouldn't. But it is the only way I can briefly describe it.
