- - - - bare with me, its gonna be a long post - - - -
i also realized that your looking more for a woman's/girl's opinion, but considering the male population on this site GREATLY outnumbers the female, u prolly won't get too much of a female response... so i'd like to give my 2 cents on the subject...

and on that note....
well, 1st off, i want to target your comment on love and age...

I'm glad that u admit that your at least somewhat clueless on the subject... though i would think most everybody is these days, regardless of age... i can tell u this though, when i was your age i thought i knew what love was, and quite some years later, i realized i was dead wrong...

Granted i know from time to time, you'll come across somebody that truly is wise beyond their years, most aren't... and what u think u know now, u'll find out later to be almost complete nonsense... u did say, "However it does make a difference if your older and 'wiser'." which is true in itself, but age doesn't grant wisdom... the experiences u have, and the knowledge u accumulate through out the years is what gives u wisdom... so what i'm getting at, is that age does matter when it comes to understanding love or anything else for that matter, but only to a certain point... and only if u take advantage of those years...

now... what is love to me....
Over the past few years, that topic really has crossed my mind a lot... i'm currently not seeing anybody at this time, but a couple years ago, i did have a GF for a while... and the whole time, i was waiting for that "Feeling" to reveal it self, but it never really did, so after some time, i decided i didn't want to lead her on anymore, and broke off the relationship... but afterwards i thought to myself, what "love" really is... or what i thought it was.... and this is what i came up with...

"Love is something u feel with every fiber of your being... something that can't be questioned... love is understanding, and acceptance.... being able compromise and go out of your way for that person.... it's being able to appreciate the little things, while making sure u don't get carried away with the BIG things... love is not knowing what to do, and at the same time having the confidence to do it despite that fact.... love is unconditional"

that's not what i believe love is, that's what i HOPE it is... cuz to be honest, i'm still very clueless on the subject of love...

on another note, i don't believe in love at 1st sight, i think for u to truly love somebody u have to love ALL of them, not in spite of their shortcomings, but because of them... and one can't possibly feel this if u don't know anything about that person....

well, i think that's it for now, i'll comment later if i get any responses to my post, if not... gg no re...

k thxs....
