you use the triangle model of love, which has… eight, types of love, I think. the three points of the triangle are commitment, passion, and …caring, I think. if you have commitment without passion you have empty love.

Iam a wanderer,in this world.Each and every human being I come in contact, is a source of inspiration for me.Wanderer I will remain for ever if I shower my affection on any-one, in exchange for feeling good. I have reserved my love for the true-one.

As a true wanderer, I will forever knock at the door of the All-mighty,to give me an opening through his door.If this door opens for me I shall definitely get the true love.

I can identify myself with a wanderer,what is in reserve for you only God knows.

Enjoy this coupling :

Homeless as Iam, to whom shall I apply ?
A House less wanderer,where shall I go ?
Turned from all doors, I came at last to Thee,
If Thy door is denied, where shall I turn ?

When love is empty the person you are giving your all to denies that love, affection, & kindness; this person pushes you away, treats you as if you are nothing or that you don’t exist to her; this person tells you what’s on their mind with no concern about how you’d feel about it; a person who doesn’t return your love or show what you want to be shown, going elsewhere for all the things you offer her, and all of the opposites of what true love is.
True love is when you feel the pain your mate is feeling, true love is completing your mate’s sentences, true love is fighting for your mate, true love is showing love, affection, and kindness; true love is giving & accepting the equal amount of love given to the both of you, true love is pulling your mate closer when she pushes you away, nurturing them through the hard times, telling them ‘I Love You’ at least 100 times a day 365 days a year, sticking with you when you only have $5 to your name, acknowledging your existence, and all the things that don’t lead to lust or empty love.

Showing someone you like or love or are attracted to some affection SHOULD make you feel good. There is nothing wrong with feeling good.
If it’s is really love, it’s going to make you want to be “better”. a better person, better friend, all of that. Both of you will be better together than apart. If that balance isn’t there, then it can be hard.
i think the real loves, the ones that last,and have the best chance are the ones that have a base of friendship first. If there is trust, and a real relationship there, then if being IN love happens on top of that, then it has a pretty good chance of working in the long term.
I have been married for 17 years. We grew up together, and have been friends since we were about 12 years old. We didn’t date until we were in our early twenties. We got married about 8 months after we started dating, but there really wasn’t anything to get to know. We already knew each other really well. Everything from what he was going to order at McDonalds (# 1 with no pickles and a coke to drink) To the fact that I love the beach more than any other setting on earth, to who our favorite teachers in school were. I’ve heard the phrase friendship caught on fire, and it was pretty accurate for us.
You don’t have to share a whole past with someone for it to work, but you do need something in common (besides physical attraction). The physical stuff is important. I’m not downplaying that. But you need to be able to have things you like to do together besides mugging down and having sex. You also need to have SOMETHING in common to talk about before and after. LOL
My husband and I do share a long term past as friends. I’ve known him for almost 30 years. That gives us a basis for a future. Not that we don’t have our ups and downs. Love is work. It’s not always easy, but it is worth it. It’s a decision that you make every day. Maybe not something you even realize that you do, but it happens. You make choices based on the fact that you want to stay with someone or you want to leave. To miantain the relationship or move away from it. If you want to stay with them, then you don’t flirt back with the georgeous redhead at the gym, or the built brunette at the market when you stop to bring home some bread. You still notice, but your heart is elsewhere. It’s a choice. You work thru the rough times. This is when stubbornness can actually be an asset.

But if it’s someone that you are better with than without. And you are both willing to do the work, and choose to NOT walk away from when things aren’t easy, then it could be for real.

Love is empty when there is no communication……. Communication in any relationship whether working, socializing, or mutual, must be on the same level or in good standings…..

Without repoire, of some kind, there is silence….. and that is empty….. Like a bowl without sustenance.. So is love without communication…….

True love is mutual affection for another being that offers the same in return…..

your sister,

Love tends to last a long time (but not a lifetime). Short-term attraction is called infatuation and does not last very long at all.

Unfortunately, there’s only one way to know the difference. Wait a while and see if it lasts.

Love is empty if its base on Lust, money
Love is unconditional
