Love; such a powerful word ya know? :-)
Thought I’d do a post on love. I keep hearing lately articles on Love at First Sight; messages from those that take their times and others that say they hold back to make sure it’s not infatuation and they are truly compatible.
What is love to you and do you believe in LAFS or Love takes time or both?

For me I do believe in LAFS exists but I think I’d want to date them to make sure because the reality of it is it takes TIME to see someone’s character. Like if they are there for you when your sick or visa versa, how you handle conflict, debates, death, job loss, how they are with their family and friends, are they accountable for – the kind of person that would give you the shirt of their back, the kind of person would adore you no matter how silly you get at times or feisty in my case, ha! Is this person the same 6 months from now as they were the day you met – did they change much – do you still have just as much fun together, not cautious it just it does take time to see someone inside and out, agree or not?

Hi Peanut,
I agree with your definition of things. I also think that "Love" is an 'umbrella word'; under it you Must have integrity, empathy, compassion, humor and Lots of friendship, to make it work. The friendship part Cannot be left out--how many times have you seen a man be great to his pals and then minimize a woman, and not be as communicative, etc? Men (women too!)will say "well, my friends don't bit** at me..."--hey, if I got lots of the the smiling, happy guy too, I would be Nice,as well!
Now, being there for each other, surely means the good with the not-so-great times! But...I want to be with a Man who understand that I Can and Will bring 5 feet of Heaven to his planet, and all I want is to be treated like he Appreciates that!
truly,
Cupcake
