I have a male friend, I know him in real life, but dont see him very much, but we speak on msn almost everyday, hes 37, single, a good job and is a popular person with all his social groups, most of the time we talk about mundane things that have happened in our lives and also the life changing stuff too (and boy have I had enough of those to keep the convosation going) he works as a Trainer so meets loads of people in his job, he mixes with big burley rugby players (he plays in the team ) old uni mates (male and female) and work collegues (mainly gay men as the company he works for is owned by one of Birminghams gay buissness men who also happens to own 2 of Birminghams most popular gay bars/clubs) he comfortable mixing with a wide variety of people ( he was out with drag qweens last weekend )
what im trying to say is he is one of those people who gets on great with anyone,anywhere at any time.
He was married young and it lasted a few years,they split with no kids
a few years later he met someone had a 5 year relationship and 2 children but then she had problems after the children and the physical side stopped, this put a strain on both of them and it ended, since then hes had a couple of flings but he said he felt nothing so didnt continue,
He told me he thought hed never been in love and he even said he thought he was unable to love ( i told him this was impossible as he already loved his children so he had the capabillitie to love but in a different way)
Then came the question he asked me
WHAT IS LOVE AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUVE FOUND IT
I told him what i had with my husband was love and discribed how I felt and how it came about, but thats my view ,and there may be hundreds of other types of "love"
So I put it to you
WHAT IS LOVE
