It's learning to be vulnerable to someone and learning to guard somebody else's heart. Actually, loving someone in such a way can make you more understanding and loving of all human beings, because it helps you realize that we are all not so different, or better, or worse than each other after all. You see, I'm really good at all this emotional stuff, just not the physical stuff. :P

I have been in love before; but that was before I believed in God. I cannot any longer think so naively that one human was "meant" for me -- thus for me (since that fantasy is not reality), that "version" of "love" doesn't have the power/significance it once had.
I do love people, but I'm not romantically "in love" with anyone.
I understand what love is (I've experienced it), but I am saying that I don't think I can be romantically "in love"; so, why would I marry someone I wasn't "in love" with? Thus I do not want to be married nor have sex. 99% of the married Christians tell me not to get married and tell me sex isn't worth it. It isn't that they don't feel any sentiments toward their wives, but that they would rather be free to serve God in singleness than be married.
