Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia
Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.
Woodrow Wyatt
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Happy Valentine's Day to you also:)
Bye for now.
good post, but the Arabic is not accurate, it's :
Ana Bahebbik (to a female)
Ana Bahebbak (to a male)
that's in the Egyptian dialect, which is understood by almost all Arabic speakers.
note : i find that using double letters simplifies pronounciation probles for english speakers.
thank's for info now i know what i say to someone that i didnt know the language
انا احبك ياحبيبتي
انا احبك ياحبيبتي
Thanks for the entry.
사랑해요 :) i love u also..
