Define love, as you personally understand, use, and live the term. If you define it with examples, give me that. If you can't define it in words, I'd like to know that, too. Please take as much room as you need. I want as accurate a picture as possible. I want whatever it takes to understand how your minds work when contemplating the subject.
This is for a personal research project. I'll explain once I'm done.

"Love means...that, at certain times, another person's bodily fluids don't gross you out. Love means...that you care enough to hurt and be hurt. Love means...you always have someone to blame when you fail. Love means...the world won't mistake you for a lonely loser."

What kind of love? The word "love" is so overloaded, it's kind of hard to define it w/o writing a book. You can say "I love my wife", "I love my family", "I love my dog", "I love pasta", and they all describe different feelings. Hopefully.

There's a Haddaway gag in here somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can make it gel.

To me, I am in love when I want to be with some one so much it hurts.

Love is when you want and need a person to be there for you in your life at any and all times that you need them.

Leuckinc ...
Blue balls", despite what some may have told you, is not the same thing as love. "Blue balls" may easily be remmedied by either your left or right hand (or, in the technical term known as "threesome", you may use both), engaging your organ in a repetive pumping motion (pamphlet of female nudity optional).
You need hurt no longer.
Love is, for me at least, best recognized when I identify someone, and if push came to shove, would be willing to say, "Gee, I'd rather get to know them as a person then to use their body for my own personal pleasure." And, er, no Siggy, I never wanted to use your body for my own personal pleasure. Sorry.

*my most famous quote* "There are many kinds of love in this world, and I posess them all"
For me, love is a term that I throw around all the time... ALL The time... there's no one that knows me that I haven't said "I luv you!" to before... it's a problem, yes, but it's true...
However, my definition of love? Well, love isn't really something I can describe - I mean, its more a feeling than a tangible object... but the best I can come up with at this late hour is this: YOu posess love towards someone/something when you can no longer imagine your life without it. Even when it hurts, you are willing to look past problems and irregularities because it's not fathomable to be without that person/thing.
Of course, that loosely describes obsession, as well.... sooo......
I'll think this through a bit more and try to peg something more concrete down. BUt I'm with Tim - there are MANY kinds of love, and it's hard to describe all of them in one broad statement.

I wouldn't go that far, Tim..... I mean, I love my little-bro-type-person, Dustin, but yesterday when we were wrestling and he gave me a "purple nerple" I did NOT feel that the boobs were fair game in the slightest.... :-P

Which, sometimes, can not be distinguished from one another... Much like that fine line between pleasure and pain...

No matter what you say, Snay, I'm not dropping the restraining order against you. Now stay on your side of the 200 ft bubble around me!
Love, for me, is caring for someone so much that you would darn near do anything to make sure that special someone is happy and well (even if it means sacrificing your own happiness and well-being). It starts out as a tingly sense of euphoria you get when you cannot help but smile a little when that person is near you. If you're lucky it, love ends up as a nearly indestructable bond between you and the someone. If you're not lucky, love ends up a footnote in your history of opportunities missed or regret.
