Ok , here we go . I am losing my virginity, my first piece of writing on TF , so please be gentle . Like the saying goes I'm a fighter not a lover. I mean I'm a fighter not a writer.

After having a few cokes and bourbon . I feel like expressing myself . I thought about what to write and came up with the subject of LOVE . What better topic to write about , everybody can relate to it, so I thought about what the meaning of LOVE is ?

There have been so many books written about it . So many movies filmed about it and so many songs sung about it . So what is it ?

The dictionary will say something along the lines of

" a strong passion or deep -seated affection " . Can we see love ?

Seeing a little child share his/her ice-cream with their baby brother/sister sitting in the pram . Is that not love ?

I think love has no rules or definition . It is what you want it to be. Here are some examples of what I think LOVE is , and it goes both ways . Feel free to add your own definitions.

When you are drunk , she holds your firehose so that you dont miss the toilet bowl and make a mess all over the bathroom. Her kissing you on the neck while she holds it, is a bonus .

Going to the nearest 7-eleven and buying tampons/pads for her , when she's home watching a DVD and stuffing herself with chocolate while wearing her pyjamas. AND you happen to run into Tammy the nymphomaniac way back from high school . BUT you cant wait to watch the rest of the DVD with your loved one.

Sharing a toothbrush together , because you forgot to pack the other one back home when you were packing for your holiday. Yuk ? Ok then , how about sharing some chewing gum together .I'm talking TRUE LOVE right now.

Holding her handbag in public while she tries on some clothes when shopping ( how embarassing ) . Then when she asks you how she looks ,you say beautiful even though you know the dress is like BIG BUCKS.

Here's one back for the guy's,

When its your birthday she greets you at the door after work with a beer ( in my case bourbon and coke ). Then after a wonderful meal SHE had cooked , she slips into something more comfortable and it invoves the word LINGERIE.

Still not finished ,you wake up in the morning , she still affectionate towards you and THEN cooks you breakfast . WOW you wish every day was your birhday.

Giving her a piggy back ( carrying her over your shoulders ) to the car, when she has just broken a heel from one of her stiletto's and its RAINING.

Finally, the tv channel changes from your favourite SPORT show , to one of her soapies, because, the moment she kisses and caresses, you turn to jelly and give up the hard fought,and well earned remote control over to her.

Well if she can do that then you are in LOVE

What is love ? . Well LOVE is ?

Luckyphil,

You must be in love now. If so I am happy for you. I am and nothing brings more pleasure to my life.

I think when you love someone, they become your number one priority and you always consider their wants and needs above your own.

I think when you are in love, in a way, everyday is your birthday.

I try not to look too happy though when I'm around someone who doesn't have a partner but its hard to do when you are glowing.

Superskater,

Tell me something you do now, that you would never do in a million years as a single man.

I would never put half a million dollars in someone else's name. Condo ,car and cash.

But I trust her completely.

I wouldn't fly half way around the world to be with someone for a few days because she was sick temporarily.

I wouldn't wire large sums of money without asking what she needs the money for.

I wouldn't buy the car that my partner wants with out any regard for what I want.

There are many many things. I could go on

Music to my ears ,

I love it . It makes the world go round .

I had a girlfriend almost 30 years ago. She was 19 and I was 22.

One day I forgot to pick her up from her junior college I was thinking where the hell is she and then Oh ****.

I drove up five hours late and she was still waiting for me.

She got in the car and kissed me. that is love.

No pain= No gain

To fall in love is great....but to be loved back by the other person is to be in heaven!

Everything just click and you feel you are as one.

Love? I want to get that feeling again. To gaze in the eyes of each other ...n kiss. Let's love be your energy.. @@

well well well You're really in love ..Luckyphil, since you could earned remote control over to her. ..I'm impressed

Brown sugar

Regarding TV

I always tell my girl

you watch whatever you want and I'l lwatch you

For me, she is better to watch than anything on TV so giving up the remote is easy

Good journal Phil. I make it a point to carry an extra tooth brush in case I am just tentatively in love.

lol, it's really sweet how u used all those example. i agree. that is love*, very cuet love~

if u can give up sothing u truly care for him/her, taht's also love.
