 Well I certainly dont think it is chemical. Certainly there is a biological side to it in 'sexual chemistry' but that is not the entire story. I am not altogether sure its something you have a conscious choice in to be honest, it is something that just hits you.
To me love is a connection; that is why it takes so many forms and to be honest I dont think its something you cant avoid even if you avoid its relationship manifestation. Its part of the very fabric of who we are as human beings. People take different paths and some avoid looking for it but it happens nonetheless. As a word its a mental construct to explain that feeling but ultimately its something that manifests itself in different ways and is exepreienced different for us all.

 im a bit of a cynic when it come to love - in my experience it only leads to broken hearts and justified cynicism lol! most of the guys ive been out with have claimed at some point to be in love with me or falling for me (some after the grand total of about a fortnight!) and eventually it just becomes a meaningless cliche.one day i'l probably fall madly in love and recant my pesimism, but for now i am firmly of the opinion that love is a wonderful way of making people carry things for you and buy you drinks, but very little more, and frankly, i couldnt be more pleased!!!

 A philosophy student...lol.
Love is an abstract concept, a construct if you like. I have never *chased* it as such but when it happens it makes your whole world shine. Also it is a feeling of security that you ahve or can give to another human. Obsessive love, well that isn't love it's an unhealthy *control* thing.
It can also be classed as chemical (or rather research is trying to prove love is a chemical conection) between people.
This is difficult and now I am interested in what people have to say and what they think as well!!!
