The gals would prefer to hear the latter. But often times than not, the guys always say the first phrase...

Whoa Friends....!!!

Sure Is D Biggest Thread i have come across.

Love & Need...!!!

Kinda Crazy Combination.!!!

If Someone Eva Tells U "I Love U 'Coz I Need U", don't kick him/her yet.

Find out what the need is all about.

Maybe the need is too fill the void in d heart. Now Dats shweet.

But if d need's physical, i guess pain should b inflicted.

" I Love U & I Need U " Sounds Much Mo Betta. Dat's Honesty Which's Supposed To Prevail. But How Far Does Dat Work, No Idea.

I Love My Gal Coz She's Means D World TO Me. It's Been 2 Months Since We have Broken Up But I Still THink ABout Her. I actually smile when I think of her shmile, the honesty in her laughter, the warmth in her hand, the feel of her lips, the depth in her eyes & DATS WHEN I NEED HER. Not only to make love but to feel secure.

So Love & Need does go hand in hand but depends on d MANNER how it's expressed & d person who states it.

Kewl?

Cheers Mate.

Sometimes we love just to be in love...sometimes we love and can not realize how deep ,or to what extend really this love is vital. Words as you say are just words .The most important is how we translate this feeling .Of course there is a need to the beloved person need for self fulfillment ,I mean in real love without him or her you are not complete as we say in Arabic

I prefer I love you...because I want to get a crack at your crack. Seriously though, does it really matter how you say it? Or is it more important how you show someone you love him/her?

I guess that love should be more about how do that person makes you feel. Do you feel that he/she loves you? Anyone can say it by his tongue, but can you feel it there in your heart? I know that women love to hear the world 'I love you', it won't make a difference if you add something before it or to the end of it. Just 'I Love You' with no comments ... Just I love because I love you .. I don't know why, but it really comes from the bottom of my heart .. I love you because I feel that you are the only one who makes me feel the same way. I love you for all the nice things that you are giving me, for the way you make feel .. I would love you until the stars fall down , .. I love you because I was born with that love in my heart only for you ...

oops ... out of the topic, what was that?

I need you (full stop!) and I love you. (full stop!) ;-)... Love and need totally different thing! The thing about need is when you have it met, you don't need it anymore. The thing about love is, it simply dies if you let it die then!

I love you & I need you! (no word "BECAUSE")

When you really love someone, should not be for a reason. You dont even know why you love him or how did you love him, the feeling is just there, its suddenly develop out of nowhere. Which is why no great scientist or whoever, till today have known the real definition of love.

Ask anyone how or WHY he/she fell in love with their partner? No body will give you a complete answer. Mostly they would tell you "I dont know!" "just i love him, that's it!" OR MAYBE some will try to answer you "BECAUSE he is tall, hmmm loving hmm caring eeerrr really I dont know!" :)))))

"I love you because I need you" sounds selfish; if the needs are no longer satisfied then the love ends.

"I need you because I love you" still sounds the same though a little selfish; that someone still has to satisfy your needs.

What if we just say the plain and simple "I LOVE YOU NO NEED TO KNOW WHY" and make the rest of everything a mystery? No need for explanation, just that's it.

By krc• 27 May 2007 16:28

yes cornellian, you are right, it must be something we feel but how will we know it is love what we feel? do we have some Love Criteria like Copenhagen Criteria?

i think we have to wait till the invention of love machine to reply azilana's question. do you know who invented lie machine? may be he/she can help:-)

I say to my boyfriend,*I LOVE TO BE LOVED BY YOU*.And that includes all needings and feelings.I just love how he loves me.Maybe for others would be to much or to less but for me is verry ok the way he does.

By krc• 27 May 2007 15:59

ok, i will be honest azilana, i do not know what love is!!! and here is a strange idea, i do not think anybody knows what it is. if there are 5 billion ppl surviving on earth, then love has 5 billion different definitions. so, in order to reply this question, i think we need the definition of love. ok, define me love and i will reply your question.

and what kind of need are we talking about? emotional?( i think you say of course) then this need must be something like love. gosh... i am confused:-)

you think i get short cut by replying a question with another one? well, you should not ask such a hard question:-))

Forgetting about all the nice things that the term 'Love' means and limit it to You love me because you need me? We don't love because we need, the need is part of that but I won't love a woman because I need her. If there is a rich woman and I need money, and I married her because I need here .. Is that what I really want? This is not love, it is profit marriage.

When you say, I love you because I need you. You forgot about all the nice things and make it only a need purpose. So when I feel that i need you no more, I would quit loving you.Some people will get the wrong idea when you say that,they will think that your love is coming from the need for something.

When you say, I need you because I love you. Then you put the love for her in front of everything and the need comes after that. here the need comes in the end, you don't need something from her to love her. What you need is her love.

I don't know if what I'm saying is correct :)

When a person dosen't get whom they wanted,its better to Love what they have,other wise one will make his life miserable and make others around miserable.

"You need to be loved because I have u"

Well in an ideal world it would be " I need u because I love u" and not " I love u because I need u", because the latter means that once u stop needing a person u'll stop loving them which shouldn't be the case. Love shouldn't have a reason or logic otherwise it wouldn't be love. When u love a person u don't love them because they make u feel good, or because they love u back but u love them because u just do!!

But that's all in an ideal world, in today's world, some people love for money, or because love makes them feel better about themselves, etc. which isn't true love because once the reason is gone love will go too.

Am I making any sense to anyone ? lol

If you say you need someone because you love him/her, you mean if you don't/stopped loving, you don't need him anymore?

Or if you say you love because you need him/her, means if she/he served the purpose, you don't love him/her anymore?

In case of the chicken or the egg, you are asking who comes first?

So in my question, you are asking if which would come first, LOVE or NEED???

By krc• 26 May 2007 13:01

Which one first? egg or chicken? the first egg was from chicken or first chicken was from egg? does not the question sound something like this?
