Agbero no b human being ni? undecided
hohoho abeg help me ask am oo




Killz. Didn't know you picked who to fall in love with undecided
why do people fall in love with who they are with?
You think they all chose to? Even against the judgement of others?
You think it's impossible to love someone who you can't pinpoint what's so good about them that they had to be the one?? And yet you are so crazy about them?
I guess it's never happened to you then. But don't generalize on love based on your personal experience....people may have something different.

Killz. Didn't know you picked who to fall in love with undecided
Yes you pick who to fall in love with. Unless you don't wanna tell the truth, or you just wanna argue. If 3 guys are asking you out simultaneously, something made you decide to choose guy number 2. He didn't force himself on you.

He gave you a reason for you to love him. A reason why he makes your legs jelly-like when he speaks. A reason that cannot be compared to what the other 2 guys had to offer.

So yes. You pick who to love.


why do people fall in love with who they are with?
Because they were given a reason to. You won't tell me you are with someone who treats you like trash and still fall in love with them.

You think they all chose to? Even against the judgement of others?
Yes they do. They is a reason they fell in love with that person. A reason only them can see that others cannot see. . .

You think it's impossible to love someone who you can't pinpoint what's so good about them that they had to be the one?? And yet you are so crazy about them?
It is very impossible to love someone without pinpointing what's so good about them. That is why when they are not there, you feel incomplete, even though you have other numerous options. . .

I guess it's never happened to you then. But don't generalize on love based on your personal experience....people may have something different.
Love is a principle that cannot be changed. You don't wake up and fall in love with the first boy you see on your street, do you?

There has to be a reason why. wink

That's why good friends fall in love over time. . . They had enough reasons to.

What is love??

"Love" is just one word that has the most complex definition you can ever think about.. To different persons it means different things.
I think your question should be "What is True Love "

Now know that infatuation is when somebody is highly,greatly,inspired and interested in someone or something that they feel they can grow a great chemistry and bond with or already have.

True Love is when you love someone no matter how they are. It don't matter if your girl has more money than you or if the man does.LOVE should never be about money,sex,race,star signs or religion and you should never get with someone because your friends and family want you to be with the person it must be your choice.You can't let your family,friends and religion get in your way for true love.

True love is when two people know each other imperfections, limitations, shortcomings, and flaws, and in spite of that they accept without hesitation and without hope for a change.

In a relationship or marriage both people should be faithful,loyal,respectful,careful and have affection and passion for one another that is what True Love is. The definition goes on endlessly...

kool. Thanx. But there is no such thing as 'true love'. It's either love or it isn't.
I do understand however the shortcomings of the English language, which is why I'd prefer someone got the origin Greek words and gave their meanings smiley.

That's pure infatuation, a.k.a, confusion. . . Love always has a reason. That you cannot explain it doesn't mean it's not there.

You don't feel that way with everyone else, do you?

stop sectionalizing love. It may come with different 'themes' it's basic nature doesn't change.

Bro I get what you are trying to say. Normally, Love is suppose to be Love, but because of the way the Love thinz is going especially with we 9ja guyz and babes. Everyone is claiming to love his partner which you and I know. Hence there is bound to be a fake love (love of pretence) and those that truly meant it (True Love). Remember most things in life always has two sides of it the FAKE and the ORIGINAL. People will easily say "I Love U" but how many of them truly do ? ask yourself this question.. Tnx

It has to be compartmentalized. Except you are trying to tell me you love a dog as equal as you love your man.

Cos it makes my face look more beautiful and make others happy too.

oh goody. From a dog you'd expect loyalty which translates as a condition, with man love is about sacrifice. It's about what you give without expecting in return. From each partner's point of view, it's unconditional. However, when you place both side by side, then there's a bigger picture: each person's unconditional love complements the other's.

So am I safe to say that you can love everyone that approaches you because of the unconditional clause? And also, if you are already with someone, and another person comes along, you'll also love them?

Because if you don't have a reason why this person is special, what's the point?

Well am i safe to say that you can only know the reason why you like someone but not a reason you love them ?
it's true you might be attracted to someone at first due to certain qualities in them, but in the long run you might end up not loving them, while sometimes you might end up loving them.... Quote me if am wrong
Re: Is It Possible To Love Someone Without Knowing The Reason Why You Love Them ? by UjSizzle(f): 11:16am On Mar 30, 2013
Look, certain qualities about people pulls us to them. That's attraction.
Wanting to be around them because of these attributes still falls in the same category. You may find them interesting, sexy as hell, or whatever reason. That's understandable.
But when you start having feelings that can't be explained or quantified for them, do you also attribute it to those qualities you saw ab initio?
That even when they lose it, you still cannot kill that feeling.
What you term 'reasons' is simply the attracting force, your feelings for them afterwards which we'll call love(for now) isn't based on it.
It's strong enough that even if you got attracted to her beauty, when she loses it you still stay put. She still looks like the most beautiful girl in the world to you.

Feelings spring up, deciding to flow with it is totally up to you.
It's normal to find someone who loves two people and needs to choose just one.
It's man's nature to be rational, so you go for one who has more to offer you than the other. That's selfish ofcourse but then it's still man's nature to want the best for himself. But it still doesn't take away the fact that you love the other just as much.
It simply means you've decided to ignore whatever feeling you have for him to settle for another.

You love them not because of that 'reason', you chose to stay with them for that.

Re: Is It Possible To Love Someone Without Knowing The Reason Why You Love Them ? by Nobody: 11:24am On Mar 30, 2013
I may have to remind you that infatuation, attraction, and lust are not love.

You cannot argue love while explaining to me what infatuation and attraction means.

You love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them. Someone walks up to you and says, "he's not the most handsome and rich, why did you choose to love him? What is it about him that sets him apart from all others? What is that thing about him, that would make you choose him over and over again? What is the reason why even if the whole world left him, you'll still be right there beside him? why do you love him so much, this much?"

And you say "Nothing, I can't just explain it?"


Lol.
