I think you should listen to popular music. Like that song 'What is love?'. You know, the one that goes 'do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do' and with the head bobin.

Thats a good place to start. I've also heard the bottem of an empty bottle is a good place.

What is love? Oh baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. BTW, I would choose "All of the above." I don't think that there is one specific place where you can find love. It sort of comes for you.

Love is not the feeling your feel when you're feeling a feeling you've never felt before.

Well, I know some people will choose "other"--for bathroom stalls in airports.

I'm sure that it doesn't work for everyone. But there are a lot of good success stories too.

I figured I would lob a nice easy one in for the softball crowd here. But I chickened out at the last instance.

Funny story, my wife knew the guy as "Charles", and he introduced himself to me as "Norm". Later on, my wife told me she thought I was a bit weird because I kept calling him "Norm". The real story is that his name is Norman Charles ***, but his dad's name is "Norm", so he went by "Charles" in high school where he knew my wife. I met him in college when he switched his name to "Norm".

Hey Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting for you.
"I know, if she calls, I'm not here."

I've always heard that love is like a lost pair of eyeglasses, where you can only find it when you're not looking for it. But don't ask me — I currently have neither.

I rest my case.

The jury will now retire to deliberate and return with a verdict.

Then we'll see who's got the goofier name. Norm, also known as "Normy", or Gossamer, otherwise known as "flimsy".

What about the times when you're looking for your glasses and you are already wearing them. What about then Mr. Smarty Pants?

Depends what you mean by love. The really, really good love takes time. Patience through the down times.

But what you get is better than any crush, infatuation or the rest of it. Those are wondeful, but by their very nature short lived.

It's like the one about the Englishmen and his garden. Somebody asks him his secret. The reply? Oh, water it for about a thousand years or so.

I put down social gatherings, and school, but for me I met my wife at Church. This works well primarily because they have a basic set of beliefs they already follow.

Maybe he thought of bars as only ONE of many possible places of SOCIAL GATHERINGS ?

Otherwise, you'll have people say "you forgot bars, museums, art galleries, parks, movie theaters, starbucks etc..."

Don't hurt me no more

Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

@routeoptimiste: Dude, I like your sig but it's way too big.

I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think that I don't.
Sometimes I find you doubt my love
for you but I don't mind.
Why should I mind? Why should I mind?

What is love anyway?
Does anybody love anybody anyway?
What is love anyway?
Does anybody love anybody anyway?

Can anybody love anyone so much
that they will never fear
Never worry
never be sad?
The answer is they cannot love this much
nobody can.
This is why I don't mind you doubting.

What is love anyway? . . .
And maybe love is letting people be
just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked.
To love when circumstance may
lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting.
What is love anyway? . . .
What is love anyway? . . .
What is love anyway? . . .
