How does love feel to you?

[Azure-Supernova]

It's like this:

It's the thing that makes me not play video games all weekend, thus making it a more powerful force than anything else I've encountered.

Plus this:

Love is playing Borderlands coop with your significant other.

The having sex with her.

Depending on what kind of mood my other half is in at that particular moment. To elaborate further, love is forcing yourself to play Dead Island co-op with her even though you'd rather be playing Skyrim or Valkyria Chronicles or Uncharted. It's somehow managing to have fun with it even though you abhor Dead Island.

Sometimes it's anger, sometimes it's happiness, sometimes it's indifference... Oh wait, that's just my mood swings.

Love doesn't feel like anything particular. It's just a level above of friendship, IMO. You spend time with the person because you enjoy it.

Like crap, the neurochemistry of a person in love is similar to that of someone with bipolar depression, it wastes loads of time, and blah blah blah typical misanthhropic escapist drivel. There are some good parts to love, but I honestly think it takes too much time as a whole.

Like if you wrapped several kilograms of fireworks and steel ball bearings to a propane tank and dropped it on a dense minefield.

I see, and I think how you might view my position, but I was thinking more of... 'recovery' shall we say. When I can learn to love myself (or something like that) and when I can genuinely reciprocate the romantic love someone bears for me, it is twinned with a calm and contentment that, yes, I can think of her without breaking down and almost becoming catatonic.

The fact that it's happened on two occasions (well, effectively) makes it all the harder for me to hope for such aspirations...

OK, I think I see what you are saying now, I misunderstood at first. Time helps also, I still tear up after 13 years but loving relationships always help, as long as you don't go repeating your mistakes.

Thats such a cliche, like who hasn't used that line to describe love before, think of something original next time! /sarcasm

A burning obsession that overrides critical thinking and common sense.

It feels like guilt and anxiety because I'll never be the person they deserve.

Most definitely these two. Sure it's a lovely warm feeling when you are together but the moment they leave you can't focus and you don't feel good enough. Very irritating.

Baby don't hurt me... don't hurt me... no more...
