Variance/serious question: what is love, does it exist?
 

Hey guys,

I have a lot of time on my hands so often, I just sit around and think. My most recent topic has been the notion of "love." What exactly is love? Does it exist? Are humans the only species who can experience love because of our relatively advanced brains?

The thing is, I don't really understand what it is. Is love something that only occurs when it is mutual? Well how can that be the case when people "fall in love" all the time but the person whom they are in "love" with doesn't reciprocate the same feelings? Well if love can be just one sided, does it mean that love is just a state of extreme infatuation? Moreover, how do people fall out of love?

Have any of you been in love? How does it feel? Serious answers please.

That disposition or state of feeling with regard to a person which (arising from recognition of attractive qualities, from instincts of natural relationship, or from sympathy) manifests itself in solicitude for the welfare of the object, and usually also in delight in his or her presence and desire for his or her approval; warm affection, attachment

Love is everywhere, love of a friend, love of family. People get love confused with sex. I love my family and friends but its different. With my girlfriend there's a sexual element and so it's a different kind of love.
