However this mansion was not his but belonged to his famous mother, Aphrodite. Aphrodite had invited Cupid over to discuss a pressing matter.

Can love and lust go hand in hand? Certainly, life experiences will show us that it is possible to be sexually attracted to someone, but to not love that person. Yet, life experiences will also show us that we can be sexually attracted to someone and indeed love them very much. Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D. says love distinguishes from lust, because love, “includes a desire for physical contact and intimacy, but also caring about the other’s needs as if they were your own.” (Riggio, 2014) Lust, as defined by Merriam-Webster, as a noun, is as unbridled sexual desire. (Merriam-Webster, 2017) There is no mention of lust being concerned about the other person’s needs in that definition. Love sounds, only so very loving, but we will see later it can take someone to extremes, that lust cannot.

Always get a person's permission before you touch them. An intoxicated person can't give permission.

Dating, one of the many topics that people often over think to the point of stupidity. When observing the progression of dating from young college students, there are those who have used their high school years to prepare them for their pursuit for a hopeful spouse in college, and those that suddenly becomes ten times dumber when boys are around, or the guy that comes out of nowhere, testosterone blazing. The smell of hopeless romance spill through the pores of young aspiring college students, and mixed with contoured versions of flirting make for an atrocious cocktail drink; both, leave you wondering what happened the night before.

Individuals date for a variety of reasons. Some date for entertainment and companionship, while others date for potential partners. Dating is an exciting way to socially interact with others while learning if they are a compatible match; however, dating can be challenging and frustrating at times. Before the modern era, dating was viewed as a courtship, in which a couple prepared for marriage. The acceptance of overlapping relationship without commitment makes dating so different today (Cohen 2015). The lack of commitment in dating gives individuals a chance to explore the dating world and their options with no repercussions. Later in life, older people including divorced couples and unmarried singles are out on the dating scene looking for love. There are multiple ways to find a partner from speed dating to online dating. Billions of dollars are accumulated each year with online dating, where people are looking to interact with others and potentially find a companion. Dating is an important part of life with many benefits including self-knowledge and personal growth. However, dating can be stressful when meeting up for the first time, because of all the mixed emotions and awkward moments. First dates are important, it can the beginning of a potential match made in heaven or the date from your worst nightmare.

Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about, great singers sing about, and great philosophers ponder. Love is a powerful emotion, for which there is no wrong definition, for it suits each and every person differently. Whether love is between family, friends, or lovers, it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many different ways.

Everyone at some point in their lives has experienced love, whether they were loved or have loved. In my life, love has helped me overcome many hardships and has taught me that love is all I need to be happy. The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection. A person can love anybody and anything as long as it has a sentimental value to them. There are many different types of love for example love for family, a significant other and even God. I have come to notice that without love in a person's life it would be complete sorrow and bitterness because love brings happiness and joy to a person’s life.

Regaining someone’s trust can truly be difficult. One might be defensive about whether to trust someone furthermore and let the past cut loose, or hold a grudge on that person. When it comes down to trusting an individual, that you love, and they promise things they do not keep. It makes it difficult for them to be trusted.

Love is an insane emotion that can’t be reasoned with; it is an exhausting, exhilarating, surprising, heartbreaking battle that will continue on until the feeling of love is lost. There is no correct way to reckon or justify the outrageous decisions that occur when the feeling of love is present. Love is more than a feeling, more than a four letter word, more than an emotion that gets expressed on a daily basis. There are people in this world that search their entire lives trying to find love. People knowingly and willingly put themselves through vigorous trial and error, no matter the pain and the heartbreak, no matter the disappointment, to hopefully find the feeling deep in the pit of their stomachs that makes them want to go crazy. They try and pray for the feeling that can stop them in the middle of their tracks and change their entire outlook on one’s future and the supposed fate that they thought they were meant to have.

Three years ago my older brother walked into his school's dance with three girls. All as just friends of course. He was only a freshman and my parents were totally supportive of him going to a dance with three of his girl friends, not only supportive but they were proud. He had his first girlfriend in his sophomore year and has continued to date and have just girl friends since then. My parents have always been comfortable with him having friends of the opposite sex. Now, I am only two years behind him so I am now a sophomore and you would think that my parents would be cool with me being friends with guys, right? Nope. False. Incorrect. Girls and boys can't be just friends. WRONG. If a guy is hanging out with a girl, they must be in a relationship. Wrong.

You may have heard the quote that love is blind, well this has absolutely nothing to do with that, but it got you a little curious, right? So you may be thinking to yourself right now: how the hell is love blinding? Well, there are a lot of ways. One way may be a more literal sense as, for instance, if your crazy ex stabbed your eyes out or sprayed your face with rage when you cheated on her with her hotter sister, but in this essay we are going to be talking about more metaphorical sense, yeah yeah I know you all wanted a story about someone stabbing someone's eyes out: get over yourselfs. I think you can start this off with asking yourself: what is love? (baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me). Well, I think that questions really depends on lot of things. The ride is about to start! Please, keep hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all time. Let’s go!

Have you ever heard of someones "list" that they have for the person that they want to marry? Don't lie we all have them and that's okay. Now don't get me wrong it isn't a bad thing for us to have certain wants and things that we are looking for in a future spouse. I just think that sometimes we are a little too superficial on what we are looking for as well as we don't always apply what we want from someone to who we are ourselves.

There was a point in time when my father and mother were in love. They did everything together. They would go into the forest and pick apples, make decisions as if they were a team, and not let the opinions of others break them down. They loved and wanted each other to have nothing but the best. On the night of October 3 they made a promise to one another, a promise to spend infinity with each other. The symbol of the promise they made was a baby, it was me, Grendel. We were so happy as a family. We were almost perfect in my eyes. My father grew to be my best friend. Some days I thought that mother hated how much time we spend together, but at the same time I know she loved it. He taught me everything I know today. We had a bond that I thought would never break, no matter how rough times were and the circumstances.

Pain has a way of changing people- at least that is true in my case. It has been four months, yet I do not know what happened to my father. My mother is losing it every day- I see her life slipping away from her and I wish there was something I could do, but if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. I was a bubbly girl, who used to talk to everyone I met but now I am a shell of myself. I barely get by at work and I know my boss is almost tired of me. I do not blame him though because he can only do so much with a business to run. My love life is nonexistent because my boyfriend of three years said he could no longer take my mood swings. He hasn’t spoken to me in three weeks.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines love as, “A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.” To me, it is beyond imaginable to the brain. It is not just about kisses on the cheek or hugs to warm each other’s heart. Forgiveness is a key to successfully achieve love. No couple or relationship is perfect, but in an ideal world, there would be rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes, one will let their inner demons get the best of them and disguise it from the other. Even bottle up emotions about their true feeling and never say how much the other means to them. What truly makes a relationship stable is love. Love in a relationship is built upon forgiveness, patience, and kindness.
