nenuName: NanuHometown: Loganville, GeorgiaAge: 22Age You First Fell in Love: 21Love Is: Love to me is one plus one equals one. When you think alike, you're on the same page. You know that's your best friend. It's cliche, but your soul mate, you guys understand each other. I don't even have to explain myself , you just know by my silence, what I'm thinking. That we're helping each other grow spiritually, being the best people we can be, you know? That's it! (laughs)

massaName: MassaHometown: Chicago, IllinoisAge: 21Age You First Fell in Love: 19Love Is: Simply, I think it's unconditional. I think it doesn't have an age, it doesn't have a race. (pauses to gather her words and laughs) I guess. . .that's why in the Bible God said the greatest command is love, because it's the hardest thing to feel but it's the strongest emotion out there.Massa: Um, I'm sorry, when you say fell in love, you mean?Monique: Whatever it means to you. If there were more than two times, if there were times maybe you thought you were in love -Massa: Thought.Monique: Yeah, thought, or. . .it doesn't mean the real thing, maybe you thought it was real and later learned it was not.Massa: Well, I thought the first time was 19. But I don't think, I've experienced what I know it to be now. I don't think I've experienced that -Monique: What was different? How old did you say you are?Massa: I'm 21.Monique: So what makes it different now at 21 than at 19?Massa: Just because when you're young, you grow and learn more when you get older. I've seen love, maybe from someone else, maybe I haven't experienced it personally, but I can see in another person or other people's relationship, what love is supposed to be like and I know when I thought it was love, that wasn't it.
