Is "love" important in starting a relationship?

[oxymoron]

My theory is "NO"
If two people meet and think that, if they both work at it, it will be good, then it will.
Your thoughts?

Can't work. Just had shoulder reconstruction #2. Off my tits on opiates. Bored with "How do I get laid?" threads.
Enough said?

@ Oxymoron : Is this what you are feeling right now?? Me, personally, i don't think i can. I want to build relationships with the one i love. Well, maybe for after 10 years of marriage, i wouldn't see the love i felt as the same way. But it definitely took a lot of effort, copromise, trust, time, passion, honesty, bravery, will to build something like marriage and make it last forever..

@ SometimesJustMe : is it probably his time of the month??

Excuse me while I throw up. Too much saccharine.

It's just my opinion oxy. And anyway, can you throw up money like KB?? *joke

In that case not only do I understand, but I hope you bring some of those opiates with you when you move here :-p

My answer would be that "love" is an important stage of a lasting relationship, but it better be based on a sh!tload more than just love to last though. I've heard that scientifically speaking "love" is a feeling based on a hormone you produce that lasts at most, 3 years into a relationship.

I dunno. It's nice to be in love but you can have a good relationship without.

Will bring copious opiates. Yep, sooner or later things like trust, compatibility and feeling totally comfortable kick in.

Yep. just add lots of trust and respect. The rest will happen naturally.
How good is my grammar while off my tits on opiates?

Yep. plenty of money to throw around. And in return.......?

I'm not quite the right person to answer this, but i guess there will be time when everyone's hard work is coming back to them and i'm sure this applies to KB too

Woo Hoo. You've just gone up in my estimates!

Love? Not so much. You will only hurt yourself.

What is love anyway? There is no concrete definition.
Relationships start in any number of ways ― through lust, friendship or by arrangement. If a couple gets on well enough the relationship may well endure and a bond form. So my answer is no, because love is nothing but a vague concept that means different things to different people.

I think he's talking of LOVE. The one the poets speak of, that many confuse with desire & is most often unrequited. Some call is puppy love, some true love, some shout it from the rooftops, some call it a form of madness. No, it's not necessary in starting a relationship, but is it important to have ever felt it? To know that you're capable of it? It can't hurt. Well, obviously it can & does - more than anything.

[crimsonsky]

At first, no. Usually lust or some other factor gets your attention. Then through interaction it slowly develops into love. Some may not admit it, though they're thinking it. It's just hard to say I love you sometimes.

Be like "I.. cough* Lub.. you"
