Allowing another person to have an influence in how you weigh decisions in your daily events. Love comes in many shades and can not be discribed with one over-all term. A mother's love for her child could never be weighed against the love for her mate because ,though they are both 'LOVE', they are quite different. Question 2) What does 'Being in love' mean to you. Sharing, doing nice things for each other.Taking the time to really be friends and help each other realize your potential. Then there is that day when you wake up one morning, or maybe you are on your way home from work and/or school and you are thinking quite fondly about someone you have been spending your time with. And you realize that you have added this person to your list of 'Things to consider before acting' list. And you smile to yourself because of how good it feels to do so. Then of course there are the times when you find that you have to be apart (or want to be apart) for a short time and you know that it's okay. In fact it's quite healthy because it's so good when you see each other again. I heard it put quite well once. 'What's the use if you can't spoil each other?' Being in love is that warm feeling you get when you see your SO smile. Annadiana Beaver A Beaver@Tektronix
