simple question really... how do you know what love is... and if your in love?
Love = Like + Lust + Trust.

Yay! First.

Ahem, anyway, that was how my spouse described love when we first started dating.

Did you need more than that? I can expand on the theory, if you like.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

OP: I personally don't know. I did have a crush on a few girls in my life, but I'm not sure if it is love or simply lust.

Love? Well, for another person, it's the feeling that you never want to be away from that person, it's painful to be away from them, you trust them with your life, you feel strange but fantastic when you're with them and basically give them the access to the parts of you that only you should know about; it feels like they have complete control over you and you don't even mind. Or some other kind of soppy answer like that.

Saying something like "I love pie!" is more like you really, really enjoy something. If what I said above applies more about how you feel about delicious confectionary, I'd seek help.

As it appears to only have been around a few hundred years, I'd say it's largely irrelevant.

Definition: "Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope.

Technically, it would be a chemical reaction at its core. Ya' know...like everything else in our bodies.

What? I'm a science major. Not my fault that is the first answer to come to mind.

Seriously though, there is very little to say about WHAT love is. I would describe romantic love as a situation in which you feel a great attraction to another. It tends to be associated with symptoms of putting the feelings and/or needs of the target of the "love" ahead of your own. Aside from that, it is often a "deep" emotional connection as well.

As for platonic love, that is a more simple deep connection to someone. It is nearly identical except for the "romantic" feelings associated with romantic love.

More than that is really just clouding the issue.

A psychosomatic disorder that diminishes logical thought, reasoning and the ability to weigh the value of things. I'm still waiting for the medical community to make me a wonderful little pill to cure it.

What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more. Bah, I got ninja'd like four times. Last time someone made a thread with this title no one responded with that.

For a more sciency definition:

Uh, but I think it's just one of those things that you just know.

That about sum it up for you?
Thank you Sir, you took the words right out of my ... fingers.

Put it this way: When you're inside her and enjoying it, that's lust.

When you're finished and you still want to cuddle, that's love.

for some reason that song makes me think of someone rinding roller skates while epicly sliding and duel wielding SMGs. I have no idea why.
