How do you know it's love? - Page 3

/me tosses another tomato at JRabbit

Semantics are a poor game to play when dealing with this sort of thing. Your girlfriend will think that you do love her if you reply to her question with that answer.

Tell her the truth. It will be better in the long run.

-Jrabbit · September 15, 2003, 14:40

In the long run, I agree with the Jedi.

DanielXY · September 15, 2003, 14:56

Who cares about the long run? How many smokers care about the guy they are about to kill in 20 years? They dont. You dont.

Anyways tell her what you are really thinking (well part of it...), you will feel better about it

After all, I remember all the excellent stuff that Pekka said about love.

Quote:

Sure but love isn't something that can be measured, defined clearly etc

Yeah, we can do the ultimate love test.

Me, or someone else beat you senseless. We are asking for her homenumber. We torture you with the most horrible methods known to man. Hot sand torture, hanging from your hands, Sudanese nipple torture, sticks under your nails, Chinese water drops, brake all your fingers and make you blind. This goes on for 48h and you will not be the same after you are done, you will have horrible injuries including psychological traumas that you won't be able to recover from. Will you last?
Do you give the info?

You went a bit over the line there, though. Torture with those "worst methods" implies that it can't be tolerated. Physically, no human can go through it, love or not. At best, one would go unconscious after a few hours.

Maybe he's referring to my male psyche or something. Heh! And I used to get all bent out of shape when people called me 'Sir'!!

Now that I miss that, I'll probably always just be called dude. At least 'Sir' had a modicum of respect.

;D

I don't think you can measure love by what you would do for someone either. It is a feeling, and emotion, not an action. No only can it not be defined by an action, I think it cannot be measured either.

I'd rather say it's a condition. And the condition would also imply that you will do anything you can to make the other person happy or protect her.

Drogue · September 15, 2003, 16:50

I don't agree. I think it is purely a feeling. I don't think your actions come into it. I don't think there are conditions to feeling love.

Solver · September 15, 2003, 16:55

Well, if you say it that way, a feeling usually has some consequences. Feeling of anger has consequences of screwing something up

, feeling of love has the consequence of acting accordingly towards your loved one.

Zero · September 15, 2003, 19:00

funny sensation between my legs tells me im in love.

Saying it's purely a feeling is meaningless though, because it doesn't interact with the outside world.

It's only through actions do you crystalise - for want of a better word - love (or hate, or anger, etc.).

no more help for me?

Q Classic · September 16, 2003, 08:04

out of curiosity, what exactly is "sudanese nipple torture"? and is it worse than a death by a thousand cuts?

If you're telling this chick you love her after 2.5 weeks, I suggest you check your credit report and bank statement and get ready to start a family, because you're already hooked through the bag. Now THAT'S a funny feeling betwixt the legs.

Zero · September 16, 2003, 16:43

"what is love? baby dont hurt me, dont hurt me, no mo"

Straybow · September 17, 2003, 00:34

Hey, haven't you ever seen Princess Bride?

It's love when you realize "as you wish" really means "I love you."

It's funny cuz it's true.

Pekka · September 17, 2003, 03:58

Forget my definition of love everyone

. I'm just weird sometimes ok?

Damn it I hate it, no internet connection at home, and not getting any in the next month. Wraagh!

Solver · September 17, 2003, 05:12

Pekka, no way I'm forgetting anything you ever said.

-Jrabbit · September 17, 2003, 09:24

I don't see a Pekka post in this thread. What's his definition?

Feephi:

I'm so glad you used the Jim Carrey/Will Ferrell/Chris Kattan instead of just WF and CK. That had to be, hands down, one of the best SNL episodes EVER.

Oerdin · September 17, 2003, 13:36

I never saw that episode. In fact I don't think I've ever watched an entire SNL episode.

st_swithin · September 17, 2003, 16:07

That one's worth watching. I'm exaggerating when I say Best SNL episode EVER, because I've only ever seen maybe 2 or 3 complete episodes of SNL, and I've caught bits of maybe a dozen more, but some of the older ones are hysterical. That one I've seen a couple of times because they were showing it on Comedy Central a bunch. It was funny though.
