these decsriptions can also be identified with lust. now, lust is a more common feeling than love which people are more experienced with. yes, i would say that love is a feeling but how can you really identified it within you and your loved one. some people have lusted after some one, knows this, but still say "ilove you". if love is the most common used word, then that means that it has lost of its meaning. i would believe that.
it having many couples that claim to love each other and after one agrument you can see the real feelings. so i ask again. what is love?

Oh, I'm wondering the real meaning too. Sometime I think I love someone, but feel that I'm not after a while, maybe it's just a crush.
Sometimes it depends on how you use the term. It can be general, like love for our family, our friends....... It can be specific, like love for our lover.......
Say "I love you" when you really mean it.
well i don't think there's a clear cut answer. but here's my best thoughts...
love is based on 3 key elements.
Intimacy- warmth, understanding, communication, support
Passion- physical arousal and desire. typically sexual longing
Commitment- devoting oneself to a relationship and maintaining it
ok. based on those 3, there are 6 types of love.
Infatuation: Passion w/o intimacy or commitment. Kind of like someone you barely knew in high school.
Empty love: Commitment without intimacy or passion. Like arranged marriages. Or in older couples, when passion and intimacy has died, they stay together because they are committed.
Romantic love: when high intimacy and passion occur together. Something like a summer love affair. But there is a lack of commitment here.
Companionate love: intimacy and commitment combine to form a close companion. Long marriages where the passion has died down. Or a really close friend.
Fatuous love: passion and commitment in the absence of intimacy. When two people marry quickly because of their overwhelming passion , but don’t know each other very well.
Consummate love: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Has all 3. This is what every couple would like to have. This love is the shit!
