: : : : I am doing a paper on love would you happen to have a definition for Relationship love?

: : : ...and we thought that the discussion on why a primate happened to evolve language was going to be tricky :)

: : Piece of cake. Love, in my opinion, is a many-slendored thing, 'tis not hereafter, makes the world go round, looks on tempests and is never shaken, and is all you need.

: Maybe this says a lot about me. I didn't understand the question. Is the poster (postee?) asking for a definition of romantic love...or someone who is in love with love? There are lots of kinds of love. This allows me to trot out some definitions from my Flip Dictionary:

: love for your offspring - geneity, storge
: love, Christian - agape
: love as friends without sex - platonic

: "Writer's Digest Flip Dictionary: for when you know what you want to say but can't think of the word," by Barbara Ann Kipfer, Ph.D., (Writer's Digest Books, Cincinnati, Ohio, 2000)
:
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." What balderdash.
