    Withdrawal

    If you love someone, you have chemical bond in your brain. When you are around them the bond is satisfied. When you are away from them the thoughts enter your mind to satisfy the desire to be with them and satisfy the chemical bond.

    All of the symptoms that people experience with withdrawal from love are similar in characteristics to withdrawal from recreational drugs like cocaine.

    Love is a really potent drug that can become immediately addictive. Never-the-less it is a drug and that explains the withdrawal symptoms.

    So, basically, what I mean to say is, if you have the withdrawal symptoms you are in love. But that doesn't mean it's the mystical, last-forever, fantasy love. That doesn't exist.

    your friends and having fun. Eventually this develops in to marriage, failure to answer ones cellular, putting the toilet seat down upon finishing and becoming absolutely utterly lame when it comes to hanging out :D

    generally, you kind of just know.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    lol, my toilet seat is always down, I live alone. The lid is also always down. Anyway, that's a whole different issue most men and women seem to be pretty self-centred and myopic about.

    well done, I had not thought of it this way before, but in my experience it's quite accurate. It seems a little different though as I age and have been through 2 or 3 good withdrawals now.

    oh and for the record, peeing sitting down is kind of nice, I can read for a bit, enjoy the quiet privacy of the room, I am just annoyed at the demand for my always having to remember to lower the lid as if females would contract some disease from having to touch the lid or look at toilet water.

    I have to give credit to the scientific community. Howstuffworks.com and Wikipedia.com

    Thanks though :)

    Insist that the lid/cover be placed down to protect objects from falling into the toilet water. That's what I do. My toilet lid is always down. My ex insisted I put the seat down and I insisted she put the lid down. It ended up being me going after her for leaving the lid up.

    One time, she went to the washroom, opened the door and began brushing her teeth. I noticed she'd left the lid up and kindly asked her to place it down, she did. Moments later she bumped the sink and my brush fell off, hit the lid of the toilet and bounced onto the floor. So I said "See, that is exactly why I say 'put the lid down'".

    When you buy a 4k diamond engagement ring and ask that person to spend the rest of their life with you. :)
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I take that as a sign of ignorance. Maybe love.

    Diamonds are just compressed carbon. Da Beers!

    Well the satisfaction of the chemical bond and the withdrawal symptoms are biochemical reactions which you are probably looking for. Weak knees, sweat, lack of focus, impaired judgement, etc...

    I was focusing more on the lifetime together thing...

    The ring is the symbol...

    Hehe, I know. A poor symbol though.

    Love is...

    Trust
    Having nothing to hide
    When you can honestly say you'd lay your life on the line for that person,
    When you feel complete knowing that he/she is in your life
    I'll cut you in.
