Do we as human beings truly know what the definition of love is? Can this word be defined?

Well, firstly, this could have been on the dating and relationship board. Second ... everybody might have a different definition of love. For me, love is caring and understanding, giving and taking, and making love. Things like that. Some other people would think differently

I don't think love can have just one definition. For ne, it's hard to discribe such a feeling, and secondly, it's different for everyone.

why should it be on the dating and relationships board, does love only apply to a partner then? after all, you love a family member, you love your parents, you love your children, you love a partner yes, it's all different, but it's all love none the less. I think that love is when you can put that person's feelings, happyness, before your own, when you can't imagine your life without them, and when you would do anything for them. and love is unconditional, it asks for nothing in return.

It's a very subjective and personal concept,personally,I find it very hard to define love as I have experienced so many aspects of it so my opinion would be jumbled

love Huh, there’s lots of definitions out there. Love in a relationship is trust, respect, and responsibility. For someone that your friends with or a family member. Its being selfless. Its just give and take. For some people they base how they love a person from how good everything goes when they’re with that person. Like motivation. Well for some people they calling making love but its actually just having sex. But in a relationship you should have a better understanding about that person first before getting too intimate. Well but some people want to play it fast. Just do it with a stranger or with a friend and its done. Well that’s how they are today.

Wow ines, eehm that was a bit confusion. I think making love is very different from having sex, having sex is when you do it with a person out of sheer lust and simply for the physical pleasure of it, when it is with the person you love it's the expression of your intense feelings for each other, it's when afterwards you hold that person and feel totally complete whereas after sex you put your clothes on or go straight to sleep or go home. Nothing wrong with that if that's what both people want but it's completely not the same thing. I think people generally are right, I like sb's definition but even that doesn't caputre all aspects of love. To me love is one of these emotional things where if you try too hard to define it it will detract from the enjoyment of it. I don't care what love is or how I describe it because it incompasses so many things but I know when I feel it (even as part of friendship or family or passion for music or doing something) even if I can't describe how or why to others, it's such a personal concept really.

First of all, this doesn't necessarily have to be limited to one category, therefore, I must agree with Sugar Baby in that aspect. Again, making love? What's making love got to do with this. I believe that the overall question was the "definition of love" to an individual, not "making love" with an individual.
Furthermore, yes, to me myself, love has many different definitions such as loving a family member; loving a pet; loving certain types of food; loving a spouse; so on and so forth.

Well it #s true, love has more than one definition. And, sorry for the confusion.
