What Does "Love" Mean to You?

1. The deep, gripping passion I feel when I have a strong sexual connection to a woman
2. Unconditional affection for family or close friends whose devotion to me has withstood personal differences

What Does "Love" Mean to You?

I am not entirely sure what love means to me but I can recognize a few things. I'd say that I have been in love 2 times in my life, and both times I felt:
-willing to invest the rest of my life and settle down with her
-overall satisfied with her characteristics both physically and emotionally
-satisfied with her commitment and loyalty to me
-willing to work through arguments with her and compromise my time and resources.
-ready to reproduce my offspring with her.
Of course, both times the love grew over time. It started with not really loving her at first and then falling more in love with her as time went on. I think the amount of time and resources you are willing to compromise is directly proportional to the amount of love you have for her.
Lastly, sounds kinda gay, but I'd say the way she validated me also contributed to the love I had for her. I think a woman's job is partly to validate a man's existence by acknowledging his presence in a way that no other woman can do.

"You admit you've considered cutting off all contact with your mother yet your love for her never wanes. If that's not unconditional love I don't know what is."
That's trans-conditional love.

It's a combination of passion, lust, and a profound sense of caring and compassion. Possibly some attachment, jealousy, and obsession thrown in if the relationship is/was unhealthy.
I've only loved one girl in my life. Still have residual feelings after 4 years of no contact.
I don't believe in unconditional love.

Men love idealistically
Woman love opportunistically

I'll never ever forget that.
