A female reader, anonymous, writes (9 October 2008):

Love is your heart jumping at the prospect of seeing them.

It's the sound of their name resounding in your head and heart. It's when the beep of your phone makes your heart sing. It's the feeling that you would do anything and go anywhere for that person. Love is understanding without needing to ask. It's accepting the person as they are and loving everything about them - even their imperfections. It's experiencing pure joy when your hear their voice and utter devastation when you can't see them. Love is being comfortable and being able to be yourself without trying.

PS: But along with total unconditional love and commitment, you must be strong and confident enough to demand love and respect too... Love needs two confident healthy people to make it work, or it can easily turn to abuse...

This question is hard to answer, but today I read an answer from a wife with marriage problems. For me, this is the true definition of love. Her husbands desires and wishes are very important to her, this man is her world. The subject matter is very adult, her guy is interested in men having sex, but you are 16-17years old, (overage) a young adult by British standards. Please read this post, it might help you to understand how difficult but how beautiful true love can be... It's more than words, it's a total commitment to doing everything in your power to make somebody happy....

Though Eve comes very very close to describing love(That's one of the greatest answers I have read on love Eve) love is something that cannot be described but only felt.Look into yourself deeply and ask yourself as to what you feel for this guy.Our inner conscience always tells the truth.Best of Love!

AskEve agony auntTo love a person, first and foremost you must KNOW them personally. Lots of teenagers say they "love" a celebrity or are "in love" with them but of course this can't be, they love the idea of who they are but if they've never met them then it's just a crush or infatuation.

Real love on the other hand is very different. If you truly love someone then you respect them for who they are, warts and all. You want to look after them and protect them, you look out for them and put them first. You feel happy and content in their company and enjoy being together. Above all you can be yourself when you're with them. You never try to be anything more or someone different because you don't need to. You don't have to impress them to win them over and you never have to play games to make them like you. There is trust and understanding on both sides and you feel safe and secure within yourself. You would never undermine them, they are not someone in whose company you feel threatened or small.

They are someone with whom you can share your innermost thoughts and worries, a person with whom you should be able to share anything, they are your friend and your confidante and you can be honest with them at all times, you can tell them anything because they love you as you are.

He/she may be someone who is the direct opposite of you. On the surface you may seem like chalk and cheese. Whilst you may be loud and forceful they may be quiet and thoughtful. You may come from different backgrounds, different countries or be twenty years apart but this doesn't matter. There is an unspoken language between you, the spiritual connection between you both is so deep that you seem to be able to communicate without even speaking to each other. You are happy to lie in silence together. You feel sometimes that there is no need to talk because you feel that you know what they are thinking anyway. You feel so close to them that sometimes you think you could almost read their mind. You know when they are worried, in pain, or sad just by looking at them. It is as though there exists some kind of telepathy between you.

Real love stands the test of time, you laugh together, cry together and even have your differences but this doesn't matter, you love that person AND their failings. You come together in a crisis and work through things together and this just brings you closer. You take their feelings into consideration in all that you do. They are the most important person in your life!
