We all know that love is so hard to define. So if we can't really state exactly what it is how come we are expected to use it and use it wisely? When you look back at past relationships how do you know that you knew what you were doing? What mistakes could you have prevented had you really knew how to love? Who's to say that you know how to love now? You did or do your best right and learn as you go? What are some things you've learned and some things you regret? "If only I knew what I know now" We go to school for 13 years to learn about everything except LOVE. But isn't life love? Where are we to go to learn about love? If it's the responsibility of our parents I fear what the next generation's relationships will be like. And we're suppose to love ourselves first but we can sometimes be our own worst enemy. If you could measure your love...how smart are you? Take some time to ask yourself "Do I really know what love is and how to use it?

Love included. In my honest opinion, love is not only learned but innate as well. I believe we're born with love and as we go along we learn more about the different forms that love takes on. I used to think about LOVE alot: finding it, NOT finding it, being able to express love if I ever found it...it was pretty tiring. Then I realized, there wasn't a real reason, I was just caught up with everyone else. At this point, whatever happens, happens. I go by what I read in a book somewhere: 'Don't go looking for love, let love find you'. If love can wait, why can't we?
My point exaclty...how do we know if our form is the right form. Some are taught that love is measured by how much money one spends or how much one does for the other. BTW I posted this topic in the wrong forum. Sorry!!!!
I would guess you just KNOW, you feel it deep down. Others say it's when you feel complete. I disagree. I think you should be complete to begin with, so when that special someone comes along, they compliment you. You can grow even more with that person. With them, you see the world for what it is...and what it could be. That's what I think. Oh, and it's okay, it's a pretty cool post regardless...
I agree with what has been said so far. In addition there are different aspects of love and I dont thing EVERYbody knows that......the same love you feel for your mother is totally different from the love that you share with your mate, your friend, and even yourself. I personally have learned not to regret anything that I have done in the past but take it as a lesson learned and move on. I think the first time we are in a relationship we are bound to mess up because of the lack of experience. Even if we see other peoples mistakes we still wont really know how to handle certain situations that may arise in the relationship. I think EVeryone knows how to love because we know how we want to be treated with love (in accordance to the particular relationship). I think the problem is that many people confuse LUST with LOVE which leads to disaster in relationships because after the extreme fascination is gone you have nothing left. Another thing is I dont think you automatically fall in love with a person (i dont believe in love at first sight) I think love for a person grows as you get to know the person.
