I dunno. I've never been in love before so I can't say.
But I do have a crush on Emma Watson...But I wouldn't sacrifice myself for her...

I would certainly hope I would be able to and want to shout out, yes I would die for someone I loved. However, once I was placed in that decision, I don't know if I would.
If you are Christian, you know the story of Peter. When faced with the decision to incriminate himself and face the same fate as Jesus, he denied Christ just to spare himself. Also, the other disciples fled when he was arrested. All of us have a sense of self-preservation so it isn't an easy question to answer.

Yeah, Peter Denied Jesus 3 times to save himself. Even after he said that he'd never do such a thing when Jesus said he would.
So, I probably would, given enough time to think. I usually react on instinct when in quick desicions, so only if I had the time to react and think, I would.

Oh yes definitely, I have practiced self-sacrifice in the past, obviously not on such a dire scale, but I got clipped by a car before. Yeah clipped by a car doesn’t sound like much, but I could well of been hit by it. If I truly loved someone I would do anything for them, no matter the situation. Jumping in front of a bullet, avenging them even If there’s a good chance I would die, anything. I would certainly hope I would be able to and want to shout out, yes I would die for someone I loved. However, once I was placed in that decision, I don't know if I would. If you are Christian, you know the story of Peter. When faced with the decision to incriminate himself and face the same fate as Jesus, he denied Christ just to spare himself. Also, the other disciples fled when he was arrested. All of us have a sense of self-preservation so it isn't an easy question to answer. Now that is a good point, do I love my wife more than Peter loved God. In Hebrew there are several different kinds of live, Peter told Jesus he loved him in a certain way, but not in the self-sacrificial way.

No doubt I would. I would never be able to live knowing that I could have saved the one I loved, but sat back because I might have gotten hurt. But then again, when the situation comes, I don't know if I'd be able to go through with it, ya know?

Proboably not, unless it's one of my family except my dad. I don't necessarily love anyone enough to take a bullet for them, especially because most of my friends have betrayed me in the past and have come back begging and I took them back into my friendship just out of generosity. There's not one person who hasn't done something I punched them for.

I'd have to think about it, I mainly do what I think of first. And the one thing rushing through my mind would be take the bullet. And as most of you know i'm a fast thinker which means I make a desision not a good one but I will always make the fastest desision.

I think it's more of a,
*You are hanging from a rope off the side of a cliff, the only thing holding you in the air is the rope held by (The one you love) Let's say (the one you love) is standing on some unsteady ground on the cliff edge and he/she is trying to save you. But deep down you know the ground will give out and kill you both. Subcoming to your impending fate you pull a switch blade out and think about cutting yourself lose ending in your death but their survival.*
~ (Yes I know, sceinerio based off of the day after tomarrow.)
I would have to say yes in this situation.

I would probably give my life as a instinctual act, not thinking about it, just doing it.

I think most people would die for that one special person they love because of such strong feelings and I know I would

It's also very noble thing to do, whereas letting someone you love die because you fear death is not.
