In life , we choose whom we love. Why do ladies reject some guys obviously there is a hidden agenda behind all professed love.
We love for a reason , its pretence when you think you can love for no reason. , greater love has no man than this that a man should lay down his life for his friend. Even God loved us and conditionally want us to serve him , oh are you thinking God love is a free gift? He gave his son out of love to die for our sins so that we can repent and be saved another condition. Be wise , if someone love you for no reason, there will a reason to walk away in due time.

Love is more than a feeling , it is an act that becomes part of your being and existence.

WriteBoy:
Love, what is love? Love is the mental and sometimes physical sensation that accompanies the belief that our most primal needs are about to be met. For love to take roots, there must exist the possibility of a person having one or more of their needs met. So when a lady who desires to be doted on meets a man who is quite literally the most caring man on earth, because the lady's pressing need at that moment is care and affection, she will make concessions in order to please the man and thus fall in love.

Love like Toks2008 said is trade by barter. I trade my time, you trade your caresses, your loving words, something goes off in our brains (chemicals, hormones etc) and because we are both seeking to have our needs met, we become inseparable.

There's nothing like true love. When you look at it, our ancestors practised arranged marriages. Did that stop them from loving themselves? Evidence suggests that love was even stronger then. The ancients knew that love could be cultivated in any two individuals with time and meeting of each others needs. Sadly, today -- thanks to all the work the western world has done selling us the romanticized ideals of love and relationships.
Rubbish basically. Your words rolling up to make wafts of paragraphs are waring no jokes!

And I'm not making no inputs o'cus

If Jesus could love us despite our sh1tty lives then love is real..

My advice; don't awaken love till you're ready if not u might just have your heart shattered beyond repair
Re: Do you Believe In Love? by charmingfrank(m): 11:23pm On Sep 07, 2016
you see the problem here. this is what existentialism will teach us. existence before essence. someone said God is love,my question here is that how can you know that God is love without knowing what love us. for yoy to be able to know that God is love this means that you already know what Love is. Come to think of it,we love God or gods because of the promises of enternal life and what we have read and have been thought. lets take for instance all these mentioned aboved does not exist. hiw can we then know what love is and that true love comes from God?

most times, our environments and everyday experiences shapes our mentality, but as for me irrespective of my failures and disappointment in love i really do believe True Love exist though such occurrence are few. Am not shocked about the Op's thread though, when i see comments of we guys about boobs and arses here on NL as if their life depends on it#lust..... ,sad to say many even go into the wrong relationships because they want to belong,why wont they get hurt? With such mindset i am not surprised to see all the above comments, either love exist or not their is someone for everyone and for me i believe we would both recognize one another whatever day it has been destined for us to meet.
Value matters most in any and everything in life,this is why majority of 9ja women just turn me off honestly they dont seek/see value in people.
Good things come with time,patience,hardwork,focus and prayer

You always sound like a broken record. Your problem is always and the same - You're not liberal. Love - True love indeed exists and I've experienced it. The book of Solomon is also about unconditional, selfless love for a man and his bride. If it weren't real, it wouldn't be there.

Stop jumping into conclusions if you have never experienced it. True love is rare and not many people experience it but its very real and never dies.
Toks2008:


Yes love only exist from God to man but anyone who believes in human love is a big fool.

Human love is a charade, a chase after the wind which is based on a condition and if the condition is no longer there, love fades and tolerance sets in with an eventual crash just for us to start looking for the right condition in another person which triggers the so called dumb words "I LOVE YOU".

Re: Do you Believe In Love? by Nobody: 11:37pm On Sep 07, 2016
Marriage is not about love, it's endurance. No human being is designed to be with one partner for 50 years.
ogorwyne:
I just did an evaluation using myself and I concur. What we call love is an attraction. Something that might fade if that feature we got attracted to ceases to exist. There is always a reason why we love our partners, that 'reason' is why we still say those 'I love U's. That's Love with conditions. I tried to imagine my partner without some of the features that got me attracted to him. Hmmm

An elderly man once told me that 'Love' fades in almost every marriage at a particular point in time and that when couples get to that stage what keeps them together is the Friendship they built over the years, God, and the vows they exchanged.

This topic is a bit complicated though.

You're a warped up individual, I will give you that !

And you won't rest until you drag all of humanity into that sad route of life you're traveling.

Love exists when men literally died for their wives/ girlfriend and children. It has happened repeatedly.

Love exist when women sacrifice their dignity for a their man.

I have seen widows grieve a lost love a life time.

You're psychologically sick, man. And you're seeking company in the solitude of your loveless existence
!

True romantic love is a fantasy that the human mind hope to be real.
You can cite a million example, but if you fail to give the
background to your story it becomes meaningless.

I have seen a stranger helps a school boy cross the road.
I have read of a mother who fought-off kidnappers to save her son.
Those are the examples of "real" love which is untainted by
instant reward/loss.

A widow has a million reasons to mourn her late husband likewise
a husband dying for his wife(please remove parent-children love from your
post as that is natural).

Girls who engage in self-sabotage just to prove a point("love"wink
are delusional and actually need urgent psychological help.

You see some unstable individuals also commit suicide all in the
of "love" or what they believe to be "love".
It doesn't prove anything, it just shows that human mind is
capable of unlimited imagination both good and evil.

Re: Do you Believe In Love? by Zellie: 11:47pm On Sep 07, 2016
Yes until recently. I've not experienced enough to conclude there's nothing like true love, but I don't think two persons can be in Love for more than say 2 years.

Eventually, the novelty wears off, they still care for each other (like you would love a family member) but that spark isn't there anymore. So, the kind of love that lasts forever isn't the romantic type.

until guys stop lusting after assets and ladies stop lusting after money,handsomeness or whatever which clouds once judgement when making a choice in relationships, they wont get things right.
See value in people,with value comes peace of mind,with peace comes contentment,with contentment comes fulfillment.
Boobs would sagg
jobs are being lost each day
this skin would wrinkle as we age
seek value,seek people who are self determined,with potentials and focus,support them ,join hands together and build a legacy. Nokia 3310, doesn't exist again my people. Cultivate a heart and act of giving without expecting anything in return,this would help you understand what love is.

I BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE
But our problem in Africa is poverty. poverty would make a normal person chose physical riches (even if it comes with pain and sorrow) over true love.
Inspite of this situation, some still find true love.

Toks2008, first, what is love?
If you love someone based on some quality you like about them, does that mean it isn't love?
How would you explain a mother's love for her kid?
Isn't there a reason why a mother dotes and loves her child?
And a father's love?
Don't parents love their kid because its their kid and blood?
Conditional and unconditional love are both love aren't they?
Isn't there even a reason behind unconditional love?

you can't love with no reason. Something must have attracted you be it beauty, money, status or position, Godly life of the person. Pastor Adeboye even said don't marry a girl who can't cook or a girl who can't pray for one hour, A guy that does not have job and many christians accepted because it was coming from a man of God. So there's no true love
