[250]

Originally posted by Zeeke75: Love.....it truly is a wonderful thing! I have recently fallen deeply in love with someone myself. And 250's right, it's only tormenting if you want something out of it. I try my best to not expect anything back. I just do what I can to make her happy, respect her, listen to her, and love her. If she is able to do the same back to me (which she does just as much as I do to her) then it makes the entire experience that much more fulfilling. I had asked once if anyone could give me the definition of what love is....well, I've learned several things from the answers I received, as well as personal experiece: 1. Love is something different to everyone. There is no real answer, except that you will know it in your heart. 2. Listening to what's in your heart, and following the path that your heart leads you on will inevitably lead you to happiness. 3. Becoming (and remaining) friends with your lover is of the utmost importance. Friendship is the basis of any great relationship, and if you and your lover are friends above all else, you will be able to make it through any situation. 4. Taking the honorable (and usually not popular) approach to winning a partner's heart is very, very rewarding. Just my thoughts....

thank you, and thank you very much.

number 3 is particularly true!
