This is a tough question because you'd have to know what exactly is considered love and that can vary between people. I believe that strong feelings of love and care can be felt for anyone, even strangers. But there's a different kind of love that I believe is more intimate and only meant for people that you've taken a long time to truly understand and respect and care for on a deep level.
How involved should family be in your relationships?
It's totally fair for family/friends to take interest in your relationships with other people, but for the most part, and as long as it isn't destructive, a relationship should really only involve the two people. This is because those two people will have the best understanding of what is said and felt between them. Outsiders can negatively disrupt the flow of a relationship if they interfere too much or without consent by both people.
Is illicit love more appealing to us?
There are many movies and books and plays based off of illicit love; Romeo and Juliet, for example. Society conforms, but I think that all individuals have some desire to rebel. The thought of having something that you're not supposed to/allowed to have is exciting and interesting. Personally, I've always been into older guys, which is more acceptable now that I'm 18, but a couple years ago it really sucked when a 20-something-year-old and I would flirt a little but have to hold back because of the age difference.
Do you think there is only one true soul mate for each person or lots of options?
I don't believe in the idea of having a soul mate. Actually, I believe that you can fall in love with love many people but you chose one to commit to and stay with forever. Maybe this person is the most compatible with you compared to the rest but that doesn't mean that you can love others the same way.
"Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability" Is this true?
Yes, I agree with this. There will be rough times in any relationship. It could even be so bad that you are really only thinking negative thoughts and feeling negative emotions towards that person, but if both people work together and communicate to try to resolve things, they can manage to bring love into what seems like a hopeless situation.
