Love is accepting someone exactly how they are, and exactly how they aren't.
And also, one of the things that strains things is "already knowing" what they're going to say or do. I have coached myself to remember that I will never truly know my fiancee, but that doesn't have anything to do with my liking to be with her.

That is, of course, assuming that I don't just want your opinions.

Okay, in which case my statement gets modified to, "Omega, you'll know you're in love when you're in love, and since it's no doubt different for everyone, and hard (if not impossible) to convey by the written word, just wait for it, dude."

You're still assuming that this isn't out of intellectual curiousity. I already know. I want to know what you think.
And I would point out that many think they're in love when they're not, so your definition of just knowing it would seem to be flawed.
Basically, you're saying that love is impossible to intellectually analyze?

I've found that people generally don't want to intellectually analyze love, because they're worried it will lose it's appeal once they understand its nature.

I find the truth more appealing than a potential lie that has caused many (i.e. me) great pain. But that's just me.
And it doesn't lose it's appeal. It just... takes on a different context.

Now, now, let the kid have his fun. After all, remember that, since his religion precludes intercourse for anything other than procreation, what he does here - asking other people's opinions on stuff, then discounting it because we're obviously wrong - is the closest he gets to sexual fulfillment. 8)

I, for one, plan to take GREAT pleasure out of having sex when I get married.... lots of pleasure, all the time.... just 'cause one has a religious belief does NOT make them incapable of sexual fulfillment, enjoyment, and the occasional (or not so occasional) bit of kinky behavior!
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I consider procreation a secondary purpose for sex at this point....
I've decided that I don't have child-bearing hips
