Re: Love, to love- what does it mean for you?

How often things are not as they seem--or as a person has portrayed himself/herself to be. I was thinking this morning about this subject--thinking of what Kate wrote about respect. ANd this is good--respect and honesty are essential for any relationship: mother /daughter, employer/employee, mail man/scary dog etc. But there has to be something more. I respect all people because this is how I was raised as a child. I think you must do more than respect--you must genuinely LIKE a person,and see qualities in him/her which are attractive to you. Perhaps a quality which you admire and wish you could have for yourself. My notions about love may be too romantic,Smiling,and part of a fantasy. But as I have grown older ( wiser?) about relations,I try to see my lessons more clearly. It is different for a young woman seeking love for the first time. She has the world in front of her. But for me--there are past memories and experiences--and qualities which are not acceptable to me.
