How would you know if you really, genuinely love someone?


Recommended Posts

been going through the posts here and it looks like people are confusing love with a lot of different things and emotions... (or i just think they are)

 

love is love, whoever it is for. You know it is real because you'd never have to question it. this time, you know and feel at the same time.

It's weird because people also keep saying "you already know"

 

and yet keep on asking... so there must be some sort of disconnect? do people really know it, or just believe in the feeling?

.. so there must be some sort of disconnect? do people really know it, or just believe in the feeling?

like what you've previously mentioned,'it goes without asking.' love is love, unless you want to categorize it further: parental, romantic, friendship etc.

 

but, what do I know? I'm not an expert on genuine love :D

Love is hard to define. If wala nang ibang babae na kumukuha ng attention mo, kahit mas maganda, matalino, mabait, etc. sa kanya, mahal mo na ba? If you're almost physically hurting just waiting for her to respond to you or give you her attention, is that love?

maybe it's when you can't say that there is any other truth than what you believe in about it.

na you can face the person as yourself

 

no alter names

no alter egos

 

but may point ka, it's hard to define hehe

When you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not with the person, is that what you're saying? Then again that can apply to friends as well.

Yep, and even everywhere - but then again, if the topic is love, it applies to anything that love can be applied to, doesn't it?

 

the weird thing about it is that it's so hard to define, yet it is so definite, in a metaphysical sense. It is as real as it is intangible, a solid concept, yet in the same manner, can be abstract!

 

it can be hidden, but one can't lie about it; it will always show through.

True, however the topic is "loving someone." You got a way with words Seta. Everything we feel is real and intangible, the whole spectrum of emotions. The problem is really differentiating love with such emotions as jealousy, lust, and such.

how would you know if you really love someone?

 

when you can accept someone warts and all.

 

when you can look at that person in the eye and say i love you and really mean it despite all the pain that you have to endure.

 

when you can say i love you with no ifs and buts attached to it.

 

when you can say i love you even when you can't give a definitive reason as to why you love that someone.

 

when you are willing to give that person a part of your soul.

namimiss mo sya dahil hindi dahil sa libog, pera o hitsura nya. Yung mga kwentuhan at lakad nyo na ginagawa nyo tapos biglang titigil o mawawala.

na iniisip mo na okay sana sya at naiisip ka rin ba nya :)

tapos pag kasama mo sya nagiging totoo ka sa sarili mo, nagiging masaya ka. :)
