    Love is a Feeling and not a decision since Love is an Emotion(Ultimate,Supreme) which is never decided but always felt and Decisions are always made by the Intellect. Love is seated in the heart which is felt then may be one may decide upon the feeling, the things which are decided without feeling is something else it's not Love its some of the other emotion in a person. Love and Peace to us all and all beings :)

    Love is both. It would take forever to explain but I will try.There are many types of love. The types are determined by your feelings. You love your parents and your bf/gf. Are they the same? Do you not make decisions based how you love on the feelings you have of the people you love? Can you love your parents the same way you love your bf/gf? Yes you can but then it is a question of is it right or wrong for you.

    There are many types of love. Physical, emotional and so on. Then there are degrees to each one and they are all based on how you feel of each second of each day. Do you love chocolate? some people do. Have you ever tried another flavor? did you like them? If you were not in the mood for chocolate would you ever eat something else? have you ever eaten something else other then choclate? Does it mean chocolate is not your favorite anymore?

    The greatest love you can have is faithfulness and forgiveness. That requires unconditional love. I hope this helps.

    Everything depends.

    I think it's a feeling. Personally, I don't base on looks unless it's extreme, but I don't pick the people I'm attracted to, or the guy I love. It just came naturally.

    A decision in the way of love, would be like forced into it by someone, or if my made a decision to like one person, after deciding which one of two people you would want to like/love. But then again, maybe that feeling of "the one" and the whole feeling can be viewed religiously, and can be said to be the decision of God.

    A feeling turns into love through a decision, however subconscious that may be. We don't love just whoever we come across.... there is a subconscious choice made before committing to love..... commitment is a key element in love, or else it would simply be a liking or admiration or just infatuation.

    attraction is a feeling, but it takes continually making the decision to maintain a relationship

    there is no doubt is feeling because decision is with sense but in love sense don't work and is only heart

  • Love (Eros-Cupid) is definitely a 'feeling'. No matter how much one tries to fight it, it is the strongest, most pure feeling in all of life. :D

    Feeling <3

    You can't really decide who to love, it's something you can't plan ahead.

    Feeling.

    What you do about it. THAT is the decision.
