... Wtf? A gift, you silly goose. What world are you living in? There are hundreds of people who will die TODAY who never had the chance to reproduce and fall in love in their lifetime. Anyone who thinks it's a curse is taking it for granted. Even if you're in love with a crazy person, it's still comodity. You can't waste love. It's love. It makes the world go 'round. Side: a gift

Have you ever heard of becoming infatuated? That's the real deal about what's going on with you. If it's mutual it's extremely joyous. When it ends though (and it will end) there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ask each other "Why do you love me?" There will almost certainly be an awkward silence and perhaps you'll come up with something like "Because of the way you make me feel" Love is not something that jumps upon you quickly. Your capacity for love grows slowly over time. Love entails deep concern for someones well being regardless of whether or not they want to be with you and share affections. Side: a gift

You have no idea of this persons love life or whether they are infatuated or in love. It's a bit harsh if not slightly arrogant to assume that it will most definitely end. Perhaps in the sense of death it will end (if that's what you meant I am sorry) but I think you were refering to the relationship in general. Perhaps if he gave you long details of the relationship and it's context but he just said he'd fallen in love so your comments have no grounds. I agree love will grow and expand over time for someone but just because the love is not strong does not mean it doesn't exist. Side: a curse
I think that love is a gift but then again it all depends on what love means to you. Now a days love doesn't mean much to people as I see people everywhere using it so casually. I think that if you find true love, it's a great feeling and even if it doesn't work out for you then you should be happy to have found it because it does help make you appreciate it later.

Do you have children? My love for my daughter has never taken anything from me. It's only given me joy, hope and happiness. I don't have emotional dependence, she depends on me. And I've taken the life of another into MY hands. I don't see having children costing your very soul. In fact, mostly, it enriches it. As this debate wasn't boy/girl specified, I will use the argument of having children to support love being gift. Side: a gift
