Love certainly does that for me, i'm much happier, i feel supported in anything i choose to persue, which then gives me the courage and strength i need to follow it through, i also stop being selfish and realise that my other half has goals etc and other commitments which make me want to do all i can for him and others around me.

It absolutely does! Giving love and getting love in return is the most intoxicating feeling in the world. When you are in love, you are happier and in turn you want to share that happiness with others. It not only inspires you to be a better person but it almost automatically makes you a better person because you realize how truly blessed you are to experience those type of feelings so you project a lot of positivity.

Being in love is like wearing rose colored glasses, the flip side is dark tinted shades.
While the rose colored ones are still on....yes! Because the world appears to be bright and full of happiness.
by bigdefense02 on August 9th, 2007
With TRUE love, yes, it definately should. It will make you want to be better in everything you do, even if it's not related to something dealing with your relationship, or the one you're in love with.

I would like to think so. It does for me.

Being in love makes me want to be deserving of love in return. My answer is, yes, being in love inspires me to want to be a better person.
by Barcaluv on August 9th, 2007
When you are in the first stages of having that feeling or are infatuated it is certainly true you tend to look at almost everything from a different perspective; you tend to be more positive and forgiving, for example.
That said, I think that after that relationship has developed that perception will eventually change. Of course you might still be "in love" with that person but that won't cloud your vision towards the outside world as much : )

Maybe it does, I think for me it was mainly because my husband was a nicer person and easier to get on with than myself that I was easier going in some things.
I always try to be nice to people but I am certainly getting tetchy quicker since he has been gone.
by tomsims on August 30th, 2007
I think real love always makes us better because love is the essence of goodness.
by Anonymous on August 11th, 2007
Love makes me strive for greater things, but there is nothing so great as to have that love returned. If I can honestly say that I am loved even half of the amount that I love, then I am a better person, solely for knowing what it is to love and be loved.
by Da Azian Boi on August 9th, 2007
Yes, because it makes you want to please the other person so much that you change yourself in the process. It can be a good thing and a bad thing.
Good Thing: Your work is rewarded with your spouse noticing and the love becomes stronger.
Bad Thing: You end up becoming obsessed with trying to change yourself. You constantly find flaws in yourself and try to fix them. You also have a chance of not pleasing your spouse which could lead to possible depression or sadness.

-I love the loOove topic :-).....
so in response to the question...
-i haven't been in love with a guy yet. I mean, the boy that I went out with in 9th grade..when we were online,he sent me an email telling me he loved me like 10 days after we were "going out" as its put in junior high ..and i think we had some sort of a cute love thing going on.. not the real deal though..esp. since we were so young and i didn't feel as close to him as he did about me..i would think maybe there was cute middle schoolish version love because there was something about him that was special, regardess of not feeling as close to him as he did to me....
-Although its true that i have yet to truly fall in love with someone, I have really liked some guys, and during those times(the feeling of 2 people liking eachother), it makes me really get lost in the moment and enjoy it, and forget about my worries. So it inspires me to be right where I am and recognize the great things that exist in life. :-) :-D :-)
great question by the way :-) :-) :-)

Without a doubt !!
by marroni on September 25th, 2008
It most certainly does!! I want to do the best I can and be the best person i possibly can be for him. He keeps me motivated to do the things that i want to do.
by cutegirl on September 16th, 2008
uhmm... if your really in love w/ someone.... you would change for the better and be a better person for the on you love and also to other people because you will be much happier when your inlove so you will be more cheerful and caring to other people....^_^
by Justtoomuch13 on September 14th, 2008
Yes, when I know someone cares for me and I care for them I do better in school, I eat much healthier, and A lot more people like me when im happy.
by Bsweet. on September 13th, 2008
yes i think it does.:)
by Chelsea429 on September 13th, 2008
I fell in love with this guy and changed a lot. i used to go out 4-5 days a week, now we maybe go out on the weekend once and awhile together. I find myself in the gym everyday to make myself feel and look better.
by maddy1303 on September 4th, 2008
most definitly i think that it inspires me to want to live laugh to the fullest and better myself in everyday things, know that i have his support is the most wonderful feeling and he helps me better myself everyday
by dee on September 4th, 2008
Love does inspire me to be a better person..im actually trying to be a better person for my baby rite now...unlike other relationships..i cant lie to him, argue, or say bad words
by calypso on August 9th, 2007
Definitely. I makes me want to be a better person for my significant other more than for myself.
by MrWitch on August 9th, 2007
Yes, but only for that person, towards that person (and by extension, to some extent, the people that person knows). I'd admit I'm a bit of an oddball, for which I hold my early life largly responsible.
I've really got very little time for most people. One of the reasons this site is so important is it's the first time I've really appreciated that people I don't know are, in many ways, like me - human (no disbelieving frowns or questioning looks please). I'm constantly astonished at the better side of human nature I see here. I won't name names - you know who you are.
I'm afraid however, that it takes quite a bit of evidence for me to accept the above on a general basis. To me, when it gets right down to basics, most people are nasty, thoughtless, inconsiderate, selfish gits "with no more right to live on God's clean earth than a weasel". (Blackadder II)
I'd do absolutely anything for MrsWitch, my 'better half'. She's worth at least 10 of me, and some change. I've tried to be what people might call a 'better person' and in some respects I *have* changed. The 'old' me is still there though, and I can't quite shake the impression I'm given every day that it really isn't worth it to be better (to others), for all the negative behavioural reasons cited above.
by mizuiislife on August 9th, 2007
Well I don't know about being inspired to be a better person, but it certainly improves my whole outlook on life; I feel happier, more confident, and more desirable. I also notice that when I'm in love I attract more men then when I'm not, maybe it's the whole being in love vibe that turns them on.
by Faith on October 2nd, 2008
I Kinda Put Myself down. I Think A lot To Myself, "I Will Never be That Good", Then I Quit Completely...
But, I Find My Own Way, My own Way To be...Myself
by Dejavu on September 19th, 2008

Yeah kind of :)

Being in love inspires me to even get out of bed!!
by Hans Schecter on September 2nd, 2008
Of course, with love comes happiness and being content< sounds backwards but when I feel like my life is settled and good, I don't want that to leave.
Happiness is addictive and carries over to even the most boring tasks but in other situations: I feel electric.
by zcbiohazard on June 11th, 2008
Yes. DEFINATELY
by Theby on May 30th, 2008
Definately Jodie, It has made me a better person. My husband comes from a totally different culture from mine. His family values are a lot higher than mine were. It has bought me closer to my family. :D
by kourageous kitty on May 30th, 2008
yes it does, when your happy you just want everyone else to be too.
by savedbylove on April 22nd, 2008
being in love with my boyfriend has changed me in so many ways. before we were together, before i was in love i was depressed. i suffer from severe ocd and depression. i never did anything to help myself. i sat in my room everyday alone. being in love has taught me to reach out to the people around me. i help people, im more accepting of people. I also am driven to succeed and become a better person in life, all i want to do now is help myself become better so that i can help people with their life. My boyfriend, my lover, my best friend has saved me from myself. He is my angel, hes done so much more than just inspire me. He's driven me and when i feel doubtful he stands in my way and doesnt let me turn back. Love is all its cracked out to be, though love is anything but blind! because love sees every flaw, but accepts them.
by Greenbean on February 27th, 2008
Yes because you want to show your true love how much he/she means to you.So of course being in love inspires you to be a better person.
by Synical Syndicate on February 10th, 2008
Being in love is such a great feeling, yes, that makes me want to be a better person.
by JPie22189 on February 10th, 2008
well not so much being in love, but the fact that he is a typical guy wanting a girl who is skinny with big boobs, but he'll never admit it. that makes me want to change myself so he looks at me like he does the girls in the movies.
by Anonymous on January 25th, 2008
yes because in being treated better you end up treating others better
by lil ray ray on January 1st, 2008

by SNOW on December 30th, 2007

by mdp2005 on December 29th, 2007

by lizzytish on December 21st, 2007
my ex bf used to be the worst kid on the block.
now he thanks me everyday for showing him there is more to life than immature things that "make you look cool"
so yea.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on December 21st, 2007
Yes, I think it does. I think that being in love is a positive experience that can only lead to more positive (re)actions.
by KobeFan08 on December 21st, 2007
Being in love inspires me to be better in everything, it puts you up above everthing else and places you on a plane of happiness that you feel you can never come down from, it changes the way you talk, eat, sleep, and the way you think, nothing is the same when your in love because the whon you share this feeling with is always on your mind, accept the chance and let it inspire you to become better, because with it, your 1000 times better than you were already.
by Alex on November 12th, 2007
Yes it does. Love is an awesome thing. Of course it inspires me to be a better person because it makes me feel... good. (I'm not trying to sound like a phscyiatrist)
by Anonymous on October 27th, 2007

by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on August 30th, 2007
you certainly get the endorphins...to be a better person.
by tiberseptim on August 30th, 2007
Being with the person I love, her being who she is and dealing with what she's been through, makes me want to be a better person.
by Wickels on August 30th, 2007
Yes. It makes me want to be a great as my love makes me feel.
by Chaysgirl24 on August 30th, 2007
Yes because if I am in love than I want to make my man happy
by Miss Cookie Monster on August 29th, 2007
Absolutely. I personally think that when your in love, not only have you do think of how your actions are going to effect you, but also the person your in love with
