Love is not obsession,  this "ga-ga" thing sounds so  ,  and this is not in offense to anyone, BUT the same ones that are going gaga turn out to be the ones to bash them in the end if they are not what they expect. If anything is important, love them for who they are and not where they are from.

Sad to read the commentary from the last thread,

Not sure what type of answer you are looking for, but its just sounding like a generalization, as in the "male as a commodity" type of thing.

Smiley- B:

LOVE is important to a woman , A guy who loves his woman will not do anything to hurt her feelings or bring ridicule to her. When a guy gets to that stage of considering her feelings before his, it means he loves and repects her. The opposite goes for the guys!
The lady must respect the guy big time. Once she starts doing things that will please her man or make his peer respect him and see him as important, it means she has begun to love him , MEN: Respect first then love will flow like water. WOMEN: Love first and then respect will flow like sweet wine ,
Guys note : Shekpe is different from Cana of Galilee wine or A bottle of Irish Cream!

Really? I think some of the guys here are saying Love.

Also, I think that woman appreciate a lot of respect, remember Aretha Franklin's song "RESPECT"? yea so maybe that will not apply to everyone.

@MzDarkSkin I am so glad you said that. I am not Jamaican and I agree with you.

This might be off topic BUT I love my naija boy and I embrace his culture, because I like practice something called common decency. Why date this Nigerian man if you have not respect for females from his country? He has a mother, and if not a sister, many female relatives, I find it disrespectful for females to bring each other down like that.

**Focus on the love in your relationship and stop stirring hate.

Well I think for the most part you can not have a relationship without love, and for it to be a healthy relationship you must have respect for each other. So, one might say LOVE is more important, but on the other hand, without RESPECT how can there be love? So then, respect is also very important. Like someone said, they go hand in hand.

If I had to choose one, it might be respect because you can not respect someone that you do not love. I know I would not do that.
