Love is to admire someone with the heart.

Thanks for your thoughts, Angela. Making that decision to work things out in a relationship is indeed a true sign of love.

Hsien, all I’m trying to relay is that love, fresh or grounded, will require one to make a decision. It may seem not like making a decision but — it actually is. I’m not trying to differentiate love from infatuation. I guess, all I’m pointing out is the more the intensity that one puts in the decision, the more likely it is considered an ‘act of love’. I am after all just trying to attempt a definition of love.

Unfortnately, I’m not sure most people care the understand that there is a difference. They want to believe in the “Falling in Love” feeling and that it last forever. The thing is that it grows into a deeper longer lasting love when nurtured and taken care of, which much like flowers and plants, takes work and time.

I think what you’re describing is the basis of a grounded, mature love.

Falling in love is more like infatuation and most people can’t tell the difference.

Also along the lines of what you are saying, love is work, or you could take that to say relationships take work. I think that is the thing alot of people miss or don’t want to see and realize. People do want to see and feel more and more the fairy tale LOVE, but we all know that it is indeed a fairy tale, and the reality is that it takes time and work to keep things together.

After a fight sometimes when we are making up I say “I love you” to my boyfriend and he jokingly asks if I really do after such fights. I say yes “I get annoyed, frustrated, and angry at you but that doesn’t mean I stop loving you.”
