"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Does not behave itself un-seemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
When read that way instead of the simplified version, it actually makes more sense. That's to answer your question about why love is not proud also Foxy.

I can only speak for myself. I don't fall in love fast. Love takes time. And many people use the word, "Love" loosely and often times confuse it with lust.

the bestman has it right...We often fall quickly in lust that is our undoing because once that fades we often find there is no real love at all...So take your time and let love grow.....

I think many people fall in love with the IDEA of being love and somehow think the next person they meet is the one. So, they confuse infatuation with true love. I don't think "true" love happens for most people more than maybe once or twice in a lifetime.

I believe if you already carry love in your heart, it's easy to give it to someone else, it's when you carry doubt, fear or pride you have a hard time with it. And in that case it can take a while, sometimes even too long.
IMO we were given the ability to fall in love for a reason. Don't let the past stand in your way, keep an open heart, but, also be wary, don't LET yourself fall in love with someone you have reservations about, if they carry love like you do, it will come naturally.
Ever hear the song; If it don't come easy you better let it go?
Also, why do people try and confuse the issue by saying something like "true" love takes time? Also just my opinion here but, I don't think there is a difference, you can love immediately, the issue of time just makes it grow "stronger" and becoming what most consider "true" love.

paladin has a good point.
Love is a gift you give someone. If you know what you want in a partner and find someone with those traits you can pledge your love to that person. If things work out then shared experiences will just confirm and strengthen that love.

Parts of this can happen quickly and thats a excellent start
One thing I have never understood is how come It is not proud?
Why wouldnt be proud of the fact that you have love?
For me being proud is keeping it all good
Also why is it..does not boast? Does that mean you are not allowed to tell how deeply you love? Some would say you are being boastful yet I dont see it that way
Is boastful bragging?
countrygurl 3 months is plenty of time to fall inlove

You are correct with regards to my previous thread regarding parts of the Corinthian's text. Yes, some can happen quickly, however; just because ya have some parts quickly, doesn't mean over time, you will have love or the whole. And just because ya have an excellent start, doesn't necessarily mean you will have a happy ending and or love especially without the whole.

thebestman ALMOST always has the BEST answer, IMO. YES, I agree. For me, personally, it takes a long time to fall in love and a lifetime to get over the loss of a love thru death. NOT, saying that I shouldn't or couldn't move on. I AM taking baby steps toward that as evidence of being on a dating site.
 Take Care, Everyone! AND, have a Nice week!!!  Cheers!

Thats right it can go either way 
All and all we never really know if its good or bad until we try.
One cant sit back not trying due to a past relationship unless they are just done with it all together.
When ppl get into a relationship its not about a bad ending now is it.
So yeah many can fall fast and many can fall slow..either way their is no true outcome until the couple have lived through it
WE Have To Have Faith With Love and Do Our Best In Keeping It Going Good and Strong.
You can make it happen in a relationship as you want it to be as long as both are true to one another

My point has already been established which was true love not partial love doesn't happen quickly. Many a time people have said they thought they were in love. I never made notion of trying or not trying. Of course we don't know unless we try something. Tell that to all the people who don't give some people a fair shot in dating. Again, that was besides the point, but since you brought it up about trying lol.
You then spoke of parts can happen. Well, yes parts can happen quickly. Again, my point has been made with regards to the whole.
Never did I spoke of one sitting back and not trying due to past relations. Just because one has faith with love doesn't necessarily mean they will encounter love although it can happen. But it's a good start with that attitude. All these notions you brought up for debate are irrelevant to what I pointed out
What I did say in relation to your previous debate is:
Some can happen quickly, however; just because ya have some parts quickly, doesn't mean over time, you will have love or the whole. And just because ya have an excellent start, doesn't necessarily mean you will have a happy ending and or love especially without the whole. ---- When I spoke of happy ending please note I said doesn't necessarily. Which means that it can go both ways. I didn't point out it not happening 100%.
Whether you understand the Corinthians passage or not is neither here or there. My point has been established with the fact that Love is often times confused with lust which is factual. And all of the parts of Corinthians doesn't happen quickly which is also factual. Whether you want to believe it or not is your entitlement. Bringing up matters for debate of which I didn't speak of is frivolous...

yes, a part of it is that we are in love with being in love,not actually in love yet with the object of our affections. this is why we often end up in unhealthy relationships and then enable the other person's bad behavior...admitting that there is a problem with our partner is in essence admitting that we made an error in judgement by being involved with them, so we make excuses for them in order to excuse ourselves. Can we say self-fulfilling prophesy, boys & girls?

Often when people seem to fall in love quickly it's commonly due to the fact that they are "in love" with the idealization of what they are hoping the person will be like and with the outcome of the relationship. Real, genuine and lasting love can only be achieved over time.

I think people fall in love too fast because you WANT to be in love so badly, and the other person says all the right things, making you think they are the right person. Then they show their true colors, and you realize it was not the person you fell for, but the idea of being in love. You learn from it and move on.
I think you can fall in love with someone in a few months, but only time will tell if it is a true love that will stand the test of time.

To foxy I am relaxed. Typing many statements in the manner I did does not make me up-tight. If I was verbally delivering my message it would be normal. But I can see how you could mis-interpret me of not being relaxed as these are typed words and not emotions or inflection.
I was simply adding rebuttals as did you, so if you say I'm defensive, it can also be said for you as well. I did think something simple was taken way out of context from my initial post JMO. Sure you can say whatever you want as you are entitled your your amendment rights. People can express opinions, say what they want, whether right or wrong, or making mountains out of molehills. It's all good though as this happens a lot on DH whether it be a legitimate debate worthwhile or not.
Oh, and by the way, I'm very relaxed.
