Loving someone is enough for me. I don't need to be 'in love' with them. The attraction that love gives is all I need.

If I can't have both, I'll choose love.
I would love for you to differentiate in your own words between 'loving' and 'being in love'. Very interesting point you made there. I've got my own definition as well, but curious to compare notes![]()
Loving someone to me means you care deeply for them. You care that their lives are going well. You care enough that you will always be there if they need help. You care enough to be there if they need a shoulder to cry on or if they need someone to share good news with. They are far more than just a friend.
Being 'in-love' to me would mean that your every waking thought is on that person. Nothing is beyond you and their every wish is your desire. The thought of the person excites you whenever you think about them. You ache when they are not around and feel like a part of you is missing. You long for their touch and their attention. Imagining life without them would just be too painful to bare.

(GIGGLES)...
Women flirting with me and all the suggestiveness -> in my experience they are all just enjoying toying me around to amuse themselves laughing at me, before ending up leaving me stood up or dumping me, and having another climactic last laugh.
Been there way too many times and not falling for that again :/
HELLO JACKSON,

DANG, I'M A SCORPIO I CAN NEVER LIE TO ANYONE, YOU'LL GET TO LEARN THIS THE MORE YOU GET TO KNOW ME...

I MAKE MISTAKES, CAUSE I'M HUMAN... BUT, I WOULD NEVER INTENTIONALLY HURT YOU, OR, ANYONE ELSE... YES, I OPEN MY BIG FAT MOUTH, AND SAY STUPID THINGS BEFORE CLEARLY THINKING OUT HOW MY WORDS WILL BE RECEIVED...JUST KNOW THAT I WON'T EVER SAY ANYTHING TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS, EVER AGAIN...(MY DEAR JACKSON)...

(GIGGLES, & SMILES AT YOU)... MY FRIEND!...
Thanks Starfire - but please don't feel obliged to console me, because I'm ok.
Women probably like to use me as 'flirt practice', for them to hone their flirting skills until it is good enough for them to dump me and nail the man that they really want. I don't think they are bad at all - its just that that is the way women see me I suppose.
I'm not at all sad or miserable, life can be better of course, but regardless I'm still having a great life. It is nice to be loved, but if it is so difficult to love me then just to hell with it - I don't care lol
