How do you know when you’re in love?

You know you are in love when every time you start to think about the one you love, butterflies start flying in your stomach.

You know you are in love when you fine yourself shopping with that person and you feel like everything is right in the world.

You know you are in love when you can't stop touching that person.

You know you are in love when you feel miserable when you are away from that person.

You know you are in love when you start planning a future in your head.

You know you are in love when can't stop smiling every time you see that person.

I could go on with more examples. For me being in love is wonderful and yet painful. The man I love doesn't know that I do love him. He is my friend and for now that is all he wants because he is about to be deployed. Because I love him I am going to wait. Love is worth any pain and wait.
When you find yourself ignoring your own feelings and focusing on how someone else is feeling your in love. I find myself now looking at maps, tracing the distance between where he is and where I am. I now pray each and every night for him to come back safely to me.

-When you can act totally yourself with that person and not have any secrets with each other.
-When you two completely trust each other
-When you see them, you feel warm and fuzzy inside and wear a great big smile on your face.
-You think about them all the time.

There is no point in answering this question. You can't explain it. Some people said some smart things over here, but still, love is a feeling which you cannot explain in words. You don't need anybody to tell you what is love and how does it feel like, you'll just know when it hits you.

Can you imagine yourself with them forever? Side by side with her when there a wrinkly old prune smiling at you?

Be careful not to get love, lust, and infatuation mixed up. I think you can safely take out lust with these feelings, it's more than a physical attraction. But if it ends with an emotional attraction, it still won't end happily. It needs to be a complete overwhelming force that fills every part of your being. (I think)

I think love is more than just those feelings. Hang with them, be there friend. see if there the one for you and if you're the one for them. Remember a relationship is about two people.

When I finally realized I loved my bf I was a mess.. I would tell myself everyday to get up the courage to tell him how I felt but when they time came, Id chicken out and become an emotional wreck! Ill never forget this one time I looked him straight in the eyes, grabbed his hand and opened my mouth to say those words and I just start crying! Like, really crying! He was so confused and concerned hehe.. Who wouldnt be? And of course I couldnt tell him why I was crying so I just went home. Hehehe.. Well, I gave up and decided to let him be the first to take that step and he finally did yesterday on Valentines Day!! Ive been waiting 15 months for that moment :)

* They're always on your mind...even if you're thinking about other things, they are always somewhere on your mind.
* You would do anything for them, if you could, you would take away any pain they were feeling, you'd die for them...
* When you miss them, you look at your old texts from that person, or their FB/something else profile.
* You can barely express it in words...being in love is hard to explain (and sometimes you're overwhelmed)
* You know they aren't perfect, but you're willing to look PAST their flaws, and see the beauty in that person.
* One of your favorite places in the world is in their arms..
* You can imagine spending the rest of your life with them, and you know you want to.
* You can't imagine your life without that person..
* You can BE YOURSELF around them, and not have to act or be a certain way.
* You get this feeling in your stomach...a warm feeling, whenever you're around them, or talking to them even.
* You feel safe around them...
* You can completely trust each other, and each one is 150% loyal to the other person..

I tried to explain. But being in love, you can't really explain it? You just...know. :p

I knew on our 1 year anniversary when he lenghtened the chain in the kitchen. It allowed me to move from sink to fridge without having to ask.

you're thinking about them 24/7, read their messages/texts over and over again, always wondering what they'll be doing right now, when you're reading people answers on this question and you'll have that person you love in your mind and trying to relate them to the answers!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't help looking at them, you can't help looking away. You wanna run the other direction and you wanna walk right up to them. Its terrible not to see them and so stressful to see them. You're scared they love you too, and petrified they don't. You watch their eyes and when your eyes meet, frantically look away. you can't think for wanting to be near them, and can't think for their nearness when you are. you feel clumsy around them, yet like the most wonderful person ever...

When he leaves a dead pheasant on your bed.

My heart beats fast and I smile.

How do you know when you’re in love? Truthfully it depends on what age you are.

~ As a child I was in love when he gave me a dandelion and told me he loved me.

~As a pre-teen I was in love when he didn’t care that I rode 4-wheelers and preferred playing in the creek to shopping in the mall.

~As a teenager I fell in love with the boy who was my polar opposite. I knew it because I felt butterflies, and I always wanted to be glued to his side. We were high school sweethearts and he broke my heart.

~As an adult I’m not in love with anyone right now, but combining everything I’ve learned here is what I think: It may happen in a day or it may happen over the course of years. Either way I’ll know I’m not just in love, but I have found THE love when I realize that I can live without him, but I don’t want to anymore. When I can accept that I am content even happy with my life, but life with him in it will be richer and fuller.


If that’s too sappy for you, I’ll also know it when I realize that as much as I love sprawling corner to corner on my bed wrapped up like a burrito in the blankets….I’ll be willing to try to change my cover-hogging, bed-spwaling ways, because waking up next to him beats waking up alone any day.

It's hard to know for sure, that's the biggest thing. But I think that you really know when you want to make yourself a better person so that you can do your best for the one you love. It's not necessarily all butterflies and daydreams, to me that's infatuation which could be part of knowing you are in love, but you will know for sure when that special someone makes you feel so wonderful that you just want to do everything you ever could do for them. You want to be the perfect version of yourself. When you start wanting to be that person, then you know. It's not changing who you are, but amplifying everything great that you already are!

Its Just You Get That Feeling <3

I guess you just can't stop thinking about them :)
You get butterflies in your stomache
Uhhhh stare at em'?
Get super nervous.


You feel like there's no one else in the world who you can love <3
You feel bubbly ALL the time, smiling everywhere :))))

Being in love is more than just a feeling. Sure, there's feeling, too. You feel jittery and butterflies in your stomach. Maybe your palms sweat, or you find it hard to breathe - especially in the beginning. But those are hormones at work, and those feelings may fade over time. That doesn't mean you're not in love anymore! That just means that you are maturing beyond the infatuation phase of young love.

Love is an active verb. Being in love means being an active partner. I do things for him because I love him, and not because it's fun or easy to do. I iron his shirts just right, because it pleases him, even though nobody irons shirts anymore. I pack his lunch every day, even though he's perfectly capable of packing it himself. I send him romantic, slightly suggestive emails during the day, to brighten up his afternoon. In return, he is kind and caring, supporting me in my interests. We are best friends.

I know I'm in love with him, because he is my joy, my life, my world. He is my everything.

I distinctly remember walking on air and thought everyone was wonderful.

always when i see the one who i love my heart starts to pump really fast.....then i always look at him and try to catch his eyes and think of him all the time.

You know you are in love when:
- You trust each other completely
- You can have them hang out with your friends without being nervous or humiliated or any other feeling of insecurity
- You can be yourself around them and they don't care how you act, they love you for who you are
- You don't want them to change, they are fine just the way they are
- You get butterflies in your stomach every time you see or talk to them
- You can tell your friends about him/her and don't care what they say about her
- You stick up for her no matter if it is a stranger or your friends, if they were really your friends they wouldn't care if she was hanging out with you
- You get majorly nervous and start sweating (this is in the first part of your relationship normally)
- You are clumsy (normally in first part of the relationship)
- You have day/night dreams about you being together for the rest of your life
- You can picture yourself being married to them, having as many babies as you want or can handle, and dieing at an old age with them ( most people don't want to picture death but that's a way you know that you are in love, if you can see that already)
That's some of the ways you can tell you are in love

When you are happy, singing songs, care very much about appearance, can't stop thinking and dreaming about them

Symptoms of Love:

You feel incomplete without him by your side. When your significant other is gone, it feels as if he's carved a piece of your soul out to carry away with him.

No matter how many people are with you, you have an slight, aching loneliness that won't fade entirely away if he isn't near.

Being with him makes you want to be no where else.

You immediately think of him when a love song comes on.

The mornings you brush your teeth together feel just as intimate as the nights in the bedroom.

He's your best friend.

No matter how much you complain or how late you are, you give in and hug him before you go to work.

You find the times when he's asleep on the couch, drooling a little, absolutely adorable.

When he makes a bad joke, you laugh because he made himself smile.

Even if it's the dead of winter - he always makes you feel cherished and warm.

i cant stop thinking about her , when ever she is near me i feel like my heart skipped a beat , and i become kinda nervous .

Because after 35 years of marriage, you still get excited when he comes home from work!

When anytime you listen to a love song , you feel like it was written about you 2 .

You know when you feel like you can't live without the person. It feels like you can't be without them for even a second. When you see them you get excited because you know your going to spend time in your day with the person.

You could start sweating if your a person that gets nervous very easy.

Some people do get super nervous because they feel as though the person is everything and when they come around you feel as though you have to act your best and look your best just for them.

Sometimes I get clumsy but then i just try to play it off. Like sometimes when i trip or fall i get up and change the subject like it never happened.

Hope I could help.

I never got nervous, sweaty, or clumsy (perhaps that's because I'm always clumsy!). I just get this great calm whenever I'm with my boyfriend. I just feel like I'm in a place where I truly belong. I only got butterflies once when we first started out, but they've never come back. I think that real, deep true love is not anything like everybody thinks it is.

Sure, we've said "I love you," to each other quite a lot, but I didn't really understand how deep he cared for me until last night. He was driving me home and we almost got into a car accident. He was so shaken up that we had to pull over and the first thing he said to me after I wrapped an arm around him was, "I could have killed you." I can't exactly put my feelings and certainly not his into words, but I now realize that he cares for me so much more than I could have imagined.

My boyfriend and I are still very young (he's 19, I'm 18) but I have a feeling that what we have will last a very long time. We appreciate each other for what we do for each other and we support each other's dreams and goals. I want him to be the best musician he can be because it will make him happy and he wants me to be the best horse back rider I can be because he knows that it will make me happy. Both of us also have similar ideals, both of us want a loving long term relationship that has no boundaries and I'd like to think that we've found that.

You just know
I don't believe it has to do with trusting the person, or them trusting you, or anything they do or don't do, because if and when they mistake, and they will, large or small,cause not being God and being human, people make mistakes, and if you base what you call love on a person doing everything you want or like or even respect,( then you are going to be sorely disappointed.) and that is good, but it doesn't work, not 100% of the time. noone can do it right all the time, no matter how hard they try. The human condition. We are fallible creatures. . If you are looking for the perfect person, stop, they don't exist on this earth.
You know, . We can't always trust our children yet still love them unconditionally. They are our children, we love them because we love them. You don't decide certain things, only what you do about them. You don't decide to walk out of your house one day and fall in love with a tall dark stranger.
You don't taste a new food, and decide to like it, you taste buds decide that for you
You don't decide to become ill, that is decided Of course an honest, trustworthy, good looking respectful person will attract us, and hopefully they stay that way, but don't deceive yourself that this is love, or that that person can be perfect. your heart will be broke, and so will theres. If you are using this as a basis for love, remember the other person may expect the same perfection from you. . And never expect more from another person than you do of yourself. carol ann

Driving home after the first date I ever had with my wife, I was pulled over for speeding.

As the cop asked for my driver's license and registration, he asked me if I knew why he pulled me over.

Smiling from ear to ear, I told him "Yes, I was speeding, but that's not important right now. I think I am in love!"

He laughed, gave me back my license, and told me to slow down without issuing a ticket.

The smile continued all the way home, and was still on my face the next morning.

After 12 years of marriage, nothing has changed, she still makes me smile every single day.

Oh, that was the only time in my life I ever got out of a ticket.

U can't stop thinking of them, u check there Facebook/ myspaxe/ ext.. There so important to u

When you are willing to make a sacrifice, just because you love your partner.

It does not have to be anything big, can be small acts of kindness that bring you joy just to see the smile on your partner's face.

Like when I let my wife watch something rather than the Arsenal game. Or the joy when she let me watch it later.

-I can't stop think about them.
-I look for/add them on facebook.
-I pair my name with their last name.
-I find it hard to make them on sims. (Close friends, eh who cares, guys I like, his nose is not quite that small! Yeah... wait too big!)
-I try to find out how nice/sensitive they are.
-I feel sick/nervous/scared around them. (Weird.)

When you're In Love, is one thing. When you Truly Love someone is another.

Being in love is simply thinking you love someone. (an obsession really)
Truly loving someone is really knowing it.

In Love -
You're heart flutters everytime you're around him/her.
He/she is literally the only thing on your mind all the time.
You would give up your time with friends and family members for him/her.

True Love -
You can be yourself always around him/her.
You're not afraid to hide anything about yourself from him/her.
You would truly give your life for him/her or do anything for him/her.
You trust him/her with everything.
You consider him/her your best friend in the world.

Hi everybody! When you're in love, you will:

- Feel very nervous when she/he comes around, exited is also the reason but some people just wants to hide themselves ( but only few of them 2 out of 10 ).

- Miss her/him every 24hr.

- Some people when she/he in love with you but you didn't realized she/he will always wondering what you're doing, do you have relationship with somebody else or not and she/ he can also be worried that you would fall in love with somebody else rather than he/her self or someone loving you.

- Some people hurts when they're in love.

- You just wants to be with him/her, that is all you wished.

When that person begins to occupy your mind 90 percent of the time. when you are thinking of something completely off course, and somehow that person winds up in your mind to do with everything. When you would sacrifice for that person, when there is nothing you would not give for that person, when you think you cannot live without that person. You are definitely falling for them.

Your heart just goes crazy over the guy, you can't concentrate on every day things except him.

I got really happy and wanted to show her stuff that she had never seen before, and take her places that she had never been to before. It felt like I had had all of these awesome experiences that I wished she was around for when I did them...but since we just met, I had to backtrack and re-experience all of those things again with her next to me.
Also, I kept trying to make her laugh (even though I'm not usually like that), and every time she laughed...even giggled, I would feel really warm and fuzzy inside.
And I figured out the whole "be a gentleman" thing too. This whole "be a gentleman" thing is BS. I realized that I wanted to hold her hand because it made her feel safer. I wanted her to walk on the inside of the sidewalk and away from the cars when crossing the street because I didn't want to take any risks with this beautiful, precious gem of a girl. So when she told me that I was being a gentleman, I realized that I wasn't trying to be...I just cared about her and did what I guess girls consider to be "gentlemanly".
Aaaand, I also noticed that I wasn't clumsy at all. Quite the opposite. I felt really strong and confident when she is next to me...like Superman or something.
Well honestly I could go on an on, but most of all, I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet. Like truly blessed...like I won the lottery or something. She's pretty amazing. So..yeah..
Not sure why you're asking this question but I had fun answering it.
Good luck.

When the little annoying things don't matter to me don't matter because I can't picture myself without them.

When I just can't stop thinking about the person. They're always on my mind and I can't think of a single bad thing about them. To add to that, whenever I am thinking about them, I can't seem to stop smiling!

You know when you look in the persons eyes and start laughing, get butterflies in your stomach, and have nothing to say at first. You also know when you dream about that person and cant stop thinking of that no matter what you do.

When you're so physically, emotionally, and mentally attached to that person. You're beginning to realize that your life wouldn't be complete without them by your side. You can't bear to be away from them for too long, you start feeling incomplete. You can't wait to see them again, and all you want is to hold them to make sure they never leave, to make sure they always stay yours. You get jealous when other people flirt with them because you don't want there to be any chance of you losing that person. You'll do anything, everything, for that person. You always put them before yourself and never judge then when they have a problem. You console them if they've had a rough day. You assure them that the next day will be better. You want to be their everything, and their only thing. Nothing less.

When you move away and you realize you miss his face and everything about him and you wish you told him that you loved him a hundred times over and over again and when you know you're never going to see him smile at you again. When you know you will never see him again and it makes you cry; when you wish you had kissed and hugged him everyday.
You're in love when you ask yourself if you could die of grief and each time you fall into bed you know who you're going to dream about.
You're in love when any other boy doesn't seem worth it.
When everywhere you look you see his face or something that reminds you of him. When you know you could cry anytime you like just thinking about it.

Some people say that it's impossible to define and while i agree, i think that it's not too hard to give a general feeling.

I am currently in love and I would best describe it as you think about the person all the time, you are happy when ever someone mention's their name, you can't go a day with out talking to them. It is a feeling you have that once you experience you can't live with or without.

When you are in love, you love the person for all of them, even their problems. No matter what they do, you can't stay mad at them. They are your best friend and they are the only person you feel most comfortable around and the person you trust with everything.

For me I knew at the first sight. I was scanning the room for a friend of mine and the world stopped. I was completely captivated. While a romance did not start that day, I knew in my heart that she was the one. We became friends which last 5 years, then one day we went on a date. On that date we had our first kiss. It was explosive.

You know when you're in love when suddenly you stop having the thought you need to please anyone and you begin to feel comfortable with yourself.
When you start leading a normal life again
and you cant stop thinking about the person (because there will always be a part of them within you)...but it doesn't mean you think about them all day (theres a part within that is sectioned for them)

when you can picture having a long and prosperous future with them
and see yourself with them, through arguments, laughs, bad times and good times

you can picture yourself having children, growing old with each other and sharing a life time with each other.

On the physical side of things, when you're in love you forget all the issues your family and friends have with your beloved and despite all odds choose him over everything. You would fight for him and fight for the love you had for him/her.

When you're in love you would subconciously smile at the thought of them...without noticing and you would remember them for all the good things and less for the bad.

You would just know it when you're in love..

everyone reacts differently

its everyones individual discoveries which makes love that more special, unique and exciting.

It's a beautiful thing to share with someone.

:)

It's like, you don't even need to ask anyone else if what you're feeling is love, because you just know it deep down, and you feel like the other person knows too. It's this connection between you that you couldn't imagine life without, that you can't exactly describe, and that you never think to doubt.
When you love someone, I think it's that you can accept everything about them, and then you feel accepted by them. You feel comfortable around them, you're able to be yourself, and you are able to do anything with this person and feel happiness. You can do anything, as long as you're with them.
And it's not infatuation, it's so much more. It's comfortable silences, bad days, and real life. It's the perfect blend of prolonged friendship and physical attraction.

You know your in TRUE love;

1. When you are willing to do or give anything for that person. Like, being willing to go 20 miles on a rainy dark night to go pick up their favorite icecream.. Just because you want to make them happy, and satisfy their wants and needs.

2.When you are able to forgive them of anything that was said or done.

3. When all you want to do is protect them, and be with them to guide them through difficult times.

4. When you can imagine yourself always being with that person for the rest of your life, always doing your best to make them happy.

5. When your willing to give up your own life for them.

When you get a ulcer on your stomach.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You think about them all the time. You want to know everything about them. Butterflies in stomach. You put their happiness before yours. You want what's best for them even though it might be what you think is best for you. You put them first. Love is not selfish. Is does ot keep account of wrongs done to you by this person. You see beyond their faults and love them anyway. YOu think of that person first thing in the morning and last thing before you go to bed. Of couse, infatuation can also give you the same feelings. But sometimes that is how love begins. If you still feel the same way after you have spent time together. The hard part though is if the other person doesn't feel the same way, they can't help it and you must move on. But never regret loving someone. It is the greatest compliment you can give another human being. Good Luck!

- When they are always on you mind & in your heart
- You feel emotionally linked to them
- When you think of your life without them, it makes you sad
- The thought that they might not love you too makes you super duper sad
- You are always happy to see them - even if only for a few minutes
- You would go out of your way to do things for them - and they don't even need to ask
- You would be willing to help them whenever and whereever :)
- When you wonder if they love you too...

When you are in love, you feel a sort of affection toward them, you feel your heart pounding and racing and beating, and you have dreams and fantasize about you guys kissing living together, going out on a date. You may get super nervous, or clumsy, it really depends on the person, but that is more specific toward the person. But generally you would feel your heart racing and you would feel like you guys can live a thousand years in love.

You know, when you think about them constantly, and when you look into their eyes and see everything you need, you smile just thinking about them, you cant get to sleep at night because you cant get them off your mind, you would give your life for their happiness, and cry when havent seen them, you want to hug them and never let go.

-When you are constantly asking yourself why all you can see are the clouds when you've clearly got your feet on the ground.
-When you stop thinking about them all day everyday, because you realize that they are an extension of yourself and only conceded people think about themselves all day.
-When you are willing to sacrifice everything you have for that person even though you have nothing.
-When you realize that how ever long or short the rest of your life may be, living it out with them means more to you than however long it may be.
-When your worst of times with them, when you are in the gutter, when life has handed you the short stick and then broke that in half . . . is better than any of the happiest moments you've had without them.
-When you will fight through anything that life throws at you just to defend your right to be with them.
-When nothing in this world matters to you more than just being able to see that smile one last time.

1. you feel amazingly happy when you're with them
2. you miss him/her whenever he/she is not around
3. you smile whenever you see them
4. you feel like you're 5 again
5. you get a good, comfortable, nervous feeling around him/her
6. you have that person as your best friend
7. you can be yourself

- I start getting like really nervous around that person
- I'll blush a lot even by the slightest comments like "You look nice today"
- I have a tendency to stare and then when he notices I look away blushing and smiling
- I walk really slow when I'm with him
- I get really excited when someone tells me he's around or when I see him
- I get really sad when he leaves and not even 5 minutes have passed and I already miss him
- Everything feels so perfect when I'm with him and it's like nothing can go wrong.

Who can know better of feeling in love than someone who's in love and soon to get married?

Well there is a lot of different kinds of love.

You got Puppy Love. Its kinda like, “Wow this is new and Exciting,” but it doesnt really last. You can feel this way about many things not just people. For instance, a Child can feel it for a toy until it finds something else. Also This is the way many “Teenagers” feel about their Boy/Girlfriends. While it IS love it usually fades away.

You have Family love. It’s more of an unspoken bond between people where you know that when the going gets tough, you have some people to fall back on. Even if your fighting with these loved ones, you know if something comes up, they will be there to help you through it. Its a very comfoting feeling that you only feel everytime one of these hard times shows up, so cherish these moments. This can also be called, “Unconditional Love.”

Now “True Love” thats a powerful feeling. It makes your heart beat slower, but faster at the same time. You feel like it could break at any moment. You smile often, and sometimes you get the “tinglies.” they can be isolated, or spread all over your body. You look at that person and all you see is that one person. You feel like your putting everything out there, your hopes, your dreams, your feelings, your heart. And sometimes they get bumped and bruised, and i have heard on occasion broken. But when your in that “True Love” you understand the risks, and your willing to take them. You look in that persons eyes. in to their soul and feel that they will try not to damage your fragile gift of Love.”True Love” is when both parties involved wont give up on each other. As long as you are trying -sincerely trying, not just going through the motions- to make it work it is possible for “True Love” to last.

…Or at least thats how I feel. =]

You start with an attraction to this person. Something about them "grabbed" you, and left you with the feeling that you really want to get to know this person a lot better.

Attraction leads to the need to get to know this person. What makes them tick, what are their likes/dislikes. How much do we have in common, from whether they like Miracle Whip, or Mayonnaise...

You think about them constantly, and you're walking around with your head in the clouds, and you can't wait to see them, or even hear their voice, and when you do, you have this big ole stupid grin you can't make go away...

Once you've established the small things you've got in common, you start to want to know more, some of the deeper things... Their views on politics, religion, how they treat their parents, their siblings... Do they want to have children? What kind of parenting style does this person have?

How well can we handle disputes? Temperament is key, because you need to know how to have a disagreement without hollering, cussing, and showing any tendency toward violence.

The key to knowing when you're in love is to use both your heart and brain... Don't fall for that "follow your heart" hogwash, because you were given BOTH for a reason, and the heart does have the tendency to lie to you.

Your heart may lead you to your true love, but you've got to also engage your brain, because eventually, it's the engaging of the brain that will make your relationship longer, happier and healthier, when all those warm and fuzzy feelings moves you through the deeper, more meaningful stages of love.

You know you met the right person and that you're in love when you can look into their eyes and see all of forever in them.

Other symptoms of love include, but are not limited to:

1. Sweating

2. Loss of appetite (in the case of heartbreak)

3. Getting dizzy (nervousness)

4. Fumbling with items in the presence of your lover

5. Stumbling on your own words

6. Somehow managing to accidentally injure your lover at least once a week. Seriously, what is with those romantic movies? They all seem to begin relationships with accidental violence! Dropping books on heads in the library. Hitting them with a door when leaving a building?

7. Smiling like an idiot for long periods of time.

Etc etc....


Falling in love is wonderful, beautiful, and confusing all at the same time. <3

Your money starts disappearing.

It happenes at different time for different people, but I would say the following:

-You can't stop thinking about that person, and you want to be with them physically, emotionally and spiritually

-You feel a bit nervous, because the person who you are in love with, strikes you as the cutest, most amazing fulfilling person in the world

-Nobody else matter in the same say as this person

- I don't know about body functions, but perhaps sweating could be one of them

Just my take on ti :)

Yes, all the above,..it's a feeling of official completion !

:)

Is there a real answer to that? Should this question even be asked? haha well everyone knows that love is unexplainable. You can say love is this love is that, but until you're at that state. You don't even know what love is anymore. It's something amazing that you are able to share with a person. A person who you are able to give them your heart to take care of and a person whose heart you are able to be loyal, caring and loving to. Love is never perfect, it's human nature, no one is perfect. There are always ups and downs but what matters the most is that out of love, a couple is able to talk through it and conclude in still loving each other. Love makes you comfortable and at ease. But this is for people who are both in love. Just realizing the questions that was asked, I'm assuming it's more towards a one person thing. I don't necessarily think that you'd be sweating and super nervous, etc. when you're in love because that should be more at the "liking" stage. When you're still new with the person and still trying to figure each other out. But with love you're able to be free with that person, express yourself to that person and forever have them in your heart.

Let's see...
It is true that you feel completely comfortable and yourself around them, but then again you feel totally nervous and you try anything you can to make yourself not look dumb cuz you think that one stupid move will make him think you're weird and he won't like you anymore.
You think about them ALL THE TIME; anytime you zone out or daydream it's them you're thinking of, when you're lying in bed you daydream of them being with you and the wonderful "what if" possibilities.
You start liking the same things as them. For example, lets say they really like cars and you at first have no interest at even knowing what a carburetor is. The next thing you know, you're looking up the fast and furious on the internet and know the difference between a G6 and G4.
Everything you see reminds you of them. You see a billboard for Wendy's and it brings you back to the time when you guys went to eat and he ended up spilling ketchup all over his shirt. Or even actors or actresses start to remind you of them!

No doubt love is confusing. Love is stressful. But in the end it's the most sacred and exciting think you will ever experience.

I had never been in real love for pretty long, but I think I can tell you now what it feels like....

Firstly, it makes you feel happy and positive in your life. All things around you seem the same, but better somehow. You keep smiling for no reason at all and people notice some good changes in you.

When someone takes your beloved's name, you can't help but blush and feel shy at the same time (but it depends). You can't stop gushing about how great they are, et cetera to yourself or your friends.

Sometimes, you feel like you are being crazy or delusional but you still can't lose the way you feel about them. They might not know how you feel; but you would still be fine because you just know the loving feeling won't stop. It stays there all the time!

You also find yourself fantasizing about a potential relationship with them and it might go as far as marriage and kids. You would think that if only you were together, nothing else would matter anymore and that the world would be the best place ever...it still is because you got to feel the way you are doing right now. You will find yourself incapable of ever being annoyed at them or irritated by them. Just seeing them or hearing from them would make your day.

Lastly, but not the least- you know you are in love when you love the person just as they are... and not because of how they appear to be or because of what they could be. You would find that you unconditional and caring towards them. You would want to know what is wrong if they are not okay, or even try to be by their side if it is possible.

Even then, love cannot be explained or defined. I listed some things that I feel while I am in love right now, but the real thing which I feel is so much more greater than I made it sound. I just know it feels fantastic and I have never felt this way about a person before.... :)

When somebody is more important to you than you.
When you feel the utmost admiration and affection towards someone.
When you have unquestionable loyalty to someone.
When you associate that person with happy memories, positive things and experiences.

When you are ready to die for another person if necessary. Pure love can also be platonic (as in soldiers) or maternal (as in a mother's love for her child).

When it literally hurts your heart to not say 'i love you'.

When you consider doing something you would never, ever otherwise do, but somehow that person managaed to influence you into considering it without even trying, and just by being themselves.

When you trust that you can tell them absolutely anything, and they wouldnt judge you for it.

When you can count on them to support you and be there when you need them.

When it makes you ridiculously happy to just see their face.

When you would drop everything to hold their hand when they need you.

When just the thought of them brings a smile to your face.

...and the list continues.

When the things you may have initially not liked, become things you love. You love the dirty smudge on his/her face, the way they smell even if they just jogged for an hour. You recognize them just by the way they carry themselves. When they smile, you just can't help but smile too. You actually like when they disagree with you, because you get to learn something new about them. You start to think of what is yours as what theirs too, like they are a controlling factor of your life; because when they come near, your heart beats faster and you feel at ease in the world.

I'd say this would be different for everyone, but I knew when:
She was the first thing I thought of when I woke up and the last thought in my mind before falling asleep.
I get excited when I get a text message, then somewhat irritated when it's not from her
I save the text messages she's sent that are sweet and make me smile
Her's is the background photo on my phone and all my computers
She's amazingly easy to talk to about anything
I get excited when I go to her house, even though we've been dating for 8 months
I get excited when she's coming to mine
I love buying her flowers more than she loves receiving them
No other woman looks attractive to me anymore... Used to love 'people-watching', checking out beautiful women while I was out in public... yeah, it does nothing now. Her's is the only face I want to see.
I can't picture a future without her in it

Hope this helps

Well, your mind gets crazy, your tongue gets crazy, your body gets crazy, and you wonder what exactly has changed. You wonder what they are doing every minute and you could feel "a pain" of separation.
You also wonder how you could ever exist without them, and you idolize every little thing about them -even if it's a fault. You start to write poetry and listen to songs more closely....you start praying a lot of more and being choosier about your hairstyle, your clothes and start thinking what would be the ultimate date. When she starts to come over, you prepare yourself for four hours, straighten the house or apartment endlessly and rearrange things! You make sure there is her favorite wine in the fridge and her favorite chocolate and maybe you've prepared her favorite food or had it delivered. You think, is it time for roses or perfume or a ring?Those are a few changes. Everybody thinks you're sick and you are "lovesick"..I hope that helps!

You look forward to just being with that person or talking to them, even if you have no idea what you'll be doing or talking about.

You can see yourself having children with that person.

You get this really warm feeling in your chest and you cannot help but smile.

The funny thing is, everyone else knew that I was in love years before I finally figured it out. And when I finally did, it was just a knowing. It felt like I came home after a long trip and was finally safe and secure because he loves me as much. And no matter where we have lived over the years since we got married, as long as I am with him, I am at home.

edit: oops, didn't answer the whole question. The cool thing with my husband is, when we were dating, I was never nervous, (like with other guys that I had dated). I always felt right at home with him, and could just be myself. Even if I had a bad day and ended up showing my temper...actually, it turned him on, he likes his high spirited girl! Which is exactly what I needed, because I decided a long time ago, if they didn't like me the way I am, then I could find friends and/or a boyfriend elsewhere.

You know that you are in love when you can't imagine life if that person had not walked into it. That you are always smiling while thinking about them, which is all the time because you can't get them off of your mind. They are the center of all that you live for and do on a daily basis. You can't wait to see them or talk to them and you blush constantly while with them. You are perfectly content just being held, or holding the other person, because you just want to be with them.

Most people say "When I get butterflies (or a knot) in my stomach," or "When I lose all self control," or "When it feels right," or "When we have so much in common," or when we walk on the beach and stare fondly into each others eyes," or "When we go for a coney dog and see the sites." These aren't bad things to say. They are part of love.
I believe that love is a journey and not a destination. I also believe that a couple has to cultivate their love for each other by doing nice things.
Love is not something you fall into. If that were the case we would all be falling down this long dark hole into a pit of despair. True love lifts us. It lifts our spirits and enlightens the mind. You know it's love when the one you love makes you want to be a better person. Whether they say anything or not.
So, how do I know when I am in love? I know that lust, and infatuation are not love and neither is drama. I have heard from some that love is a battle field or like a safari. I looked at them and said, "You have got to be kidding me." I believe that if a couple are truly in love there is no competition. There is no hunt. No constant search. I believe this way because I have always known what I am looking for in a man and I know I need to be myself to get him.
I will know that I am in love when I see that the one I am dating makes me want to be a better person, when I know without a shadow of a doubt that things are right, when I feel it with every fiber of my being, when all my senses and comprehension tell me that it is love and not just heightened emotions then I will know that I am in love. Have I found love. Not at this point, but I feel that it is close by.
Take care.
Valerie

After 13 years of marriage i can say that i know what love is..the butterfly feelings and excitement are there in abundance at first..then comes the true love..the commitment and the knowing that you have married your other half..and that you really cant imagine your life without him..he is such a part of me..my best friend,my rock when i need someone to lean on..
Being in love is so much more than physical..its the look on his face when he smiles at me and i know that smile is meant for only me..the love that i give him and he gives me back is beyond magical it is eternal..it is seeing him with our kids and knowing that they are a part of us..
it is in fact devotion,dedication,and wonderfully breathtaking:)

You never really know.It all starts with a challenge.Combined with an infatuation of what you actually imagine to be Love. It then develops into a battle royal to win over emotions and compatability. We jump in with both boots on. Generally its good at the begining then all goes pear shaped because most people pput on a false impression of themselves.So confusion of what you really term as love is only basically passion gone wrong. You have to live with someone to know the long term consequences..its a falacy it exist but has to be worked upon via the emotions and senses.Its not a game and or a competition. But we all experience some form of it.Love is unconditional, so no matter how much you love. hate or argue.you should at the endo fo the day be very patient and understanding anothers feelings without the selfish needs we got ourselves into in the first place.Love must have a direction.

I think there are many different responses that can lead people to finally truly believe and know that they are in love. For me, for a long time, I had heard of different things that can happen, seeing fireworks and / or having your breath taken away when kissing or just some unexplained attraction, physical, mental or emotional that leads one to want to take a closer look, but had never really experienced anything. Then, for the first time, I had my breath taken away, along with the ability to speak! And that was it. I was beginning to think that these things that people talked about when experiencing "true love" were just the products of over active imaginations, until experiencing it for the first time. Wow. Just wow...

“Love is a feeling you feel when you’re feeling a feeling you’ve never felt before”

Just knowing that the person even exists in this world would make you smile. And there’s nothing specific you like about this person because they are perfect to you. They are always special to you no matter what and whenever something happens, they are the first one that pops into your mind. If the person is really in love, they wouldn't ever have to ask if they were in love because they would know. Love is a feeling that two people share and the chemistry between them both is beyond imagination. When sparks fly, both people would feel the instant connection because their hearts would come together to be one. And you would never sweat, get nervous, or clumsy since you know that their love comes from the inside and loves you for who you are. It sounds cliche but it's definitely true.

IF you have felt all these things, ask yourself “would you ever die for this person”.

If your answer is yes, it’s not true love because you would be hurting him/her.

first off there are alot of feelings we associate with love that have nothing to do with it. Love is a mutual connection, but if sex, money, or anything other than trust and communication are the basis for your feelings, it isn't love. You will be able to determine when you are in love when in your heart of hearts and your mind collaboratively can say they are both happy with a person, and no pain, stress, nor worry is involved. When you are in love the connection between you and the person entails open communication, trust on both ends, affection, and the ability to get close to each other (i.e. snuggle and kiss) without having to introduce sex into the equation, intimacy is a big part of love, but most people mistake intimacy for sex, not sex is sex, intimacy is being able to be close to a person and show that the emotional connection you all share can also be translated to a physical connection of closeness and togetherness. Love is the culmination of all these elements.

Love? Never once in my lifetime have I found the perfect definition. Love can not be summed up in one word, or even 100. Love is the tingling in your stomach, its the spark that ignites within each kiss. It is in every note, every text, and every word to one another. It is laying in bed thinking about what you could have changed about the day and realizing there is nothing; that it was perfect. It is when you feel their presence hours after they are gone and it is in that smile that never fades. Love is talking to that person from the moment you wake up in the morning to the moment you fall asleep at night and not once running out of things to say. It is when your favorite sound in the world is the heartbeat in their chest pounding against your ear. Love is nothing, yet it is everything. No one can describe love. It is too great for words... but here's a start.

When you realize love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

I think no one will reed my answer :-( I'm to far down the list I think .
I you do read this then let me know , I am interested just how many people do read all this .
.....................Katie :-)

"love is giving someone a gun, letting them hold it to your head, and trusting that they won't pull the trigger." ahaha. great quote.

in my opinion, love is...
when no matter what, your goal is to make that person as happy as you possibly can make them.
love is caring, trust, respect, and pure happiness -- but it's so much more than that. it's wanting to share your whole life with that person and not being ashamed of who you are because you trust in that person that they'll love you back. love is learning to love EVERY INCH of that person inside and out -- whether it's the pimple on their forehead or their ugly feet, or maybe it's the annoying sounds they make when they eat. :p haha, WHATEVER IT IS, you accept them. you don't want them to change because they're perfectly imperfect. <3
love is being comfortable with each other. you accept each other, you care deeply about each other, and well, you're in love. it's an attraction way beyond looks and materialistic factors. it's a warm, tingly, bubbly feeling all over. it gives you a lump in your throat and makes your heart swell with pride.

it's a really great question by the way. that's just my opinion on what love is. i could write a lot more, but that's just the summary of it. Happy Valentine's Day! <3333

My symptoms are:

1. Can't stop thinking about that person
2. I melt whenever I see them and even more if they talk to me
3. Start mimicking them or something about them e.g. how they walk (I know, strange!)
4. Go from very happy to very unhappy very quickly
5. Get jealous of anyone they talk to

The list could go on and on.

i knew i was in love when for the first time in my life i felt i like me. the 'myself' that i was happiest. i felt joy, warmth, selflessness, uncontrollable smiling, untouchable, grounded yet on cloud 9, unbelievably lucky just to be in his presence, it was all a level of happiness i never thought id even feel. no sweating no nervousness no clumsiness.. just warm and happy. like if i die right then it wouldnt matter, my life was now worth while. but good god i cant wait for the rest of my life! ;)

You no damnn well when your in love, when you loose that person once and remember you said to yourself I don't ever want to loose this person ever again. If you try to flirt with others or get with someone else but can't do it because of the person you think your in love with, is because of the person YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH. You just can't ask people and expect to get the greatest answer, sometimes you have to experience this feeling yourself. When the time comes hope you can answer anyone else who you asks you this question :)

I'm 46 and I have to agree with Joel pretty much. I don't think there's one defining thing that happens makes you go "I'm in love". I think it's just really really liking and enjoying someone enough to want to spend your whole life with them. It's always reflecting on how your choices will affect them before you make them and always making sure it's a good choice for the both of you. You will want what's best for her/him. It's communicating your feelings openly and being totally honest. A really important thing is finding someone you can laugh with. That's financially responsible, kind, has integrity and a little rugged is good. I think a guy should be able to at least change his own oil and build you a shelter if you got lost in the woods. Someone you know will defend and want to protect you if necessary and I have someone like this. I've been with him for eight years and I'm lucky I found him.

you know you're in love when that person is all you can think about. when someone is more than just a lover, they are your best friend. it's a feeling that is indescrible and it puts you on a natural high. you are in love when you don't see a person for their flaws, but for everything that's good about them. it's love when it feels right.

When they help you bury a body.

I've never been in love :(

I am married, and I still dont know that question...haha!! But I know that I love him, that is why I married him...

True Love is not a feeling, true love is not how the person makes you feel, for this
is a self love and guaranteed to fail , for feelings alone are very superficial
and will not last the test of time, as we can see in statistics. Our creator tells us
true Love will Never Fail, and then explains the commitment of True Love
True love covers all wrong and weakness in the person True Love puts there
wants aside for the other person True love brings you joy when you do for others
instead of doing for yourself True love is a commitment, regardless of how you feel
And True Love takes time to grow, it is not instant Follow the words of Jesus<selflessness> instead
of the words of our world system<self> and you will find everlasting true love

When you listen to a song and think about someone

The endorphins kick in big time <3

you feel all tingly inside

You just know :)

Here are some signs you're in love!

-Just the thought of them puts a smile on your face.
-They can annoy the crap out of you or do something that you don't like, but you still love them to death
-When they are sad, it BREAKS your heart and you'd do anything to see them smile again
-You can't imagine yourself with anyone else.. it doesn't even cross your mind for a second
-You can't stop talking about them to friends... even after years have gone by
-You may not be with them all the time, but they are always on your mind
-You can spend a day or two.. or three just sitting around in each others company.. maybe not even exchanging any words, but feeling completely happy just being in each other's presence

lots more! but I have a paper to write! :D

You mean how do you know when you truly love someone?

You know when you can look at someone or simply think of them and see nothing but the good in them. When you can love them, no matter what happens to them, what they do, where they live or if they love you back. When you love them regardless of how they feel about you or what they think about you. That is the definition of unconditional love.

Everything else is superficial, dependency and insecurity.

A great teacher once said, “Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth… You owe me.”

True love expects nothing in return.

If you have to ask, your not in love

You know you're in love when you feel calm and comfortable with each other, you can be yourselves around each other and you feel like you can tell each other everything without thinking twice. There are no secrets, no lies and no games. It's when you know each other's every flaw and still think they're perfect, you accept each other wholeheartedly.

When you see them, you can't help but smile and you feel warm inside. You'd try not to smile as big as you're smiling inside but y'know you just can't help it because you feel too happy. It's when they mean the world to you. When they're down, it gets you down too because their happiness has become your happiness.

When you fight, it hurts so much that you feel like the whole world is crushing but then, you try to understand each other and it doesn't matter whose fault it is, you just say sorry and easily forgive because your love for each other will take over your emotions and anger and no matter how many mistakes you've made, you'll always have faith in each other.

When you can imagine yourself with them forever and think about the lovely future that you two will have, it feels great. So great.
etc.

If my boyfriend answered this, we'd have the same answer :)
I love him so much and we've been through a lot together.
No matter what happens in the future, I'll always be his.
We've been together for 1 year and 4 months and I'm willing to go on forever.

Well i knew i was in love when i first seen her face she was Beautiful and everything i wanted. so i took the time and got to know her it took up until just recently for me to get the courage to ask her out. She said yes and we were together for a while and then had a break up due to some family issue she was having but after she had time to handle that i asked her out again and got turned down. even though i got turned down something in me would not let me go with someone else so i continued to fight for her and i finally got accepted into her arms again. I know that when you are in love you are always thinking of that person and nothing Else everything you do reminds you of that person.

When you become stupid

when u dont check out other people besides the person you are with.
when your not with him time goes super slow .
when you see life brighter.

To know when I'm in love with someone, I usually get wet and cold on the palms of both of my hands. In other words, I get this weird, itchy shiver in my stomach, and at the same time, it feels really overwhelming to bear. It is hard to describe the feelings and emotions I had receive, because everyone in this world has their own indistinctive signs of showing love and admiration for another. For me, I get really nervous and blush to the fullest (red) apple-like color, especially when the love of my life tells me I'm beautiful face to face.

When your partner stops charging you for sex.

If you need to ask, you are
not in love.

When you are in love you just want to be with the person you are in love with, the reasons do not matter much.

When the grasshopper in your head tells you you're in love.

A tough question. The answer is simple but not quite easy to do!
We all seek relationships of sorts.
When the body seeks a physical relationship it is plain sexuality.
When the mind seeks a relationship, it is companionship.
When it is the emotional one, it is time to look at whether if we are in love.
(And if all the three present themselves in a heavy mixture, the problem starts. Emotions do not follow logic. Same is the case with body's cravings. The mind, if it is not serious about a relationship suitable to itself, tries to dissuade us from the other two types.
If a person is sure that the 'feeling' defies all known logic, it is not even seeking a physical pleasure, and it is "unconditional" it is indeed love. Love is a quality of 'being', not exactly trying to match with somebody exclusively, restrictively, but at the same time, definitely ready to adorn, add value, enhance, provide furtherance to the nature's divine purpose and plan! That silver-jubilee, golden-jubilee, platinum, and diamond celebrations are adequate evidence that emotional factor is the ultimate litmus test.

when you smile.. and there is no reason behind it it..

ONE thing people confuse love with is a feeling. Love is an ability. Sacrifice=Love

When you believe that you would sacrifice the most for that person, you are in love. But make sure the person you love would sacrifice his life for you before you go any deeper in relationship.
That is how you know he loves you.

Men know how to make your heart melt and knees buckle so for a guy to say sweet nothings to your ear is not the ability I meant for love.

Love never fails, does not envy it is not proud.... 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 :]

1.You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.
2.The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.
3.If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.
4.Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.
5.When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).
6.Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends - if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.
7.Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other's loyalties or feelings.
8.You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.
9.If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.

If it is TRUE love it is none of the above.
It is the feeling of peace, happiness, & above all security that someone puts YOU above all else.
Try asking a couple who have been happily married for at least 25 years what the secrets to love & happiness are.

Sounds corny but you will find it to be true.

When I first saw my man walking in the door I knew he was the one for me. I felt sweaty, I did not want to talk, I felt hot, nervous, I was so embarrassed, and my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. He asked me a question and all I did was look at him... After that I could not even face him. A couple day's later he offered to walk with me. We walked in silence. Then we said bye and went our separate ways. The walking went on and we fell in love. My man felt the same way about me. It has been 18 years and we are still in love. My heart still jumps around him. I love him...

Love is a feeling that is best described, I think, by poetry and by love songs. More than any rational check-list that you need to go down on is your feeling when you spend time with that person, and it's an indescribable feeling, unless, you've been in it, you feel lighter than you usually do, or just happy and smile for no reason whenever you think of that special person, and you just feel happier all around, and you're excited to spend time with this new person. If you feel all of these things, even then you can not really be sure whether this is infatuation and whether it's truly being in love, or whether you're in lust with somebody. These are distinctions that I think become more clear as time passes because infatuation doesn't last as long as being in love, and if your attraction to a person is purely physical, then soon thee other problems that stem from not seeing eye to eye on other issues, and maybe finding out that this person's personality is perhaps not the best match for your own. These things will...will start coming into the picture, but if you are truly in love, and this is the right person for you, then the feeling of being in love will last much longer.

when your in love you have this feeling that can't be described. You feel complete and all you want to do is be with that person even if in reality its impossible. The thought of that person makes you smile and the ache of that person being away from you hurts. Its this great feeling of joy that you have buried inside of you but this feeling is also a source of this heart ache you will feel when your heart bleeds from rejection or separation. The feeling of love is outstanding yet very nerve racking. Its like the feeling you get when the sun rises or when you finally get something you want. Its a feeling that makes you want to be with that person and no one else. Its a feeling that can't be given any description. The butterflies in your stomach, the smile on your face from the thought of that person, and the ache in your heart from the separation from that person can be a sign of love.

1) When you can hardly eat anything because of the butterflies in your belly
2) When you trust the person you love won't leave you (and they wont)
3) When you can tell the person anything, and know they won't judge you
4) When you feel incredibly dizzy and light-headed around them
5) When you're so happy...everyone notices!
6) When that person makes you smile...even when you are feeling at your all time lowest
7) When you care deeply for a person to a point that no matter what happens to them, you will always feel the same for them!

BUTTERFLIES!!!!... yuppie!!!

yeah, it's that certain "je ne sais quoi"... a superfluu state of mind and soul!! -- the most amazing thing ever.

(downside for me being that sometimes i work very hard at ignoring that person (the more i like someone the more indiferent i might appear... and honestly, what else is a girl to do? while the internal struggle is still on??.. while you don't know yet / can't tell for lack of complete information weather the guy is worth your time, palatable enough to make up for the eventuality of future hassle...),

very hard at fighting the emotion (never go down without a good fight, you know, all that..); maybe i just don't like the vulnerability that love provides, the maddening desire of being in eachother's presence!...)

RAGING INSIDES.... then the sound of silence -- a PEACEFUL mind..., the knowledge of deeply caring for the other, of seeing every second you spend together as "eternities within a blink of an eye!"; different eternities brought together, building towards a larger one, more complete, a unique "corner of the world", a very piece of the Universe. Imagine that!!; ownership of a little crumb of Universe! Property. Something infaillible seen as property; the propriety of that statement amazes.

And, my friend, that is the POWER OF LOVE!!... it doesn't conquer everything... but the subtle changes in people's mindset work towards a greater achievement: manipulation of the Universe's energies. Features shining under the rain droplets (with a light of their own, coming from deep inside... what a bounty!, such charm and beauty...), illuminating like the Morning Star in its waking hours, deep within the cover of midnight.

~~
SERENITY at its best!!... this is what LOVE brings alongside exciting new adventures and the bright light of new mid-days!
Being deeply inlove with someone, having someone being deeply inlove with you....! I believe it would be called "Heaven",.... if only there were such a place.

......................

p.s.: the first 3 in caps are basically the 3 stages of love (like i know it to be).

[* i'm a writer, philosopher - as can be seen from the flow of phrases... as soft as breaking skin and bones, as kind as a huge tidal wave...! <<< Let's walk, again, still hand in hand, let's walk the paths of Meru! ;))) What about love, then??..! Love is. >>>]

Love is when you fall asleep thinking about that person and you wake up and think about them until you fall asleep again.

Love is when you would sacrifice an entire lifetime of happiness just so that person would be happy for just one moment.

You are in love when the other person makes you want to be a better person than you already are.

When reality is better than your dreams then you are probably in love.

You know you love someone when you can't remember the last thing they did to make you angry, since true love doesn't keep score.

If you're always thinking of things you could do that the other person would like then you probably love them.

If your heart skips a beat when you lay eyes upon them for the first time in a while then you probably love them.

If you would get up at 3am, get in your car, and drive 20 miles because they called you saying they needed a friend then you are in love with your friend.

When you get jealous.
You can tell the difference between a crush and being in love... with a crush, if you hear he's going out with someone else, you might think, "Damn, oh well, best of luck to them." You might be interested in who he's going out with and planning your first words to say to him as soon as he breaks up with her, but that's it.
When you get jealous, when you get really jealous, when you want to bite off her head or push her off of a cliff,
THEN
you've fallen in love.

I couldn't explain it if I wanted to. Love is so great, so profound, and so unimaginably amazing, that I don't know where to even begin. Sure, it has those butterflies, and the honesty, and physical attraction, and the trust, and all that other stuff, but it's so much more at the same time. It's like imagining what a trillion is like, or counting every star in the sky. It's impossible, but at the same time, it's so real, and so amazing, and so perfect.

this is truely a fact.the fact that a person may not have ever been in love before can be a con,because a young person doesn't know how to decipher true love from just a physical attraction.trying to figure out weather your in love or not at a young age can be very hard to do.first dates sometimes can cause a persons mind to deceive them and make them think their in love when dating is only something that's new to them,sexual pleasure can be mistaken for love.a person that's super nice to them can trigger a false feeling of being in love but if a person would only give themselves a chance in life to experience all these mistaken love events,when they get old enough to know what the word love means and all the qualities a person must have in order to experience true love such as,sacrifice,respect and respect for other peoples feelings,compassion,honesty and sincerity and the ability to love unconditionally,only then will they be able to know for a fact that they are in love.love starts in the heart not on the surface.would you buy a book just because you liked the cover,no it's what's under the cover that tells you what the stories all about.too many youngsters are caught up in physical looks instead of whats underneath the skin.their looking in the wrong place.if they keep looking on the surface all they will find is infatuation. thank you and i hope this helps some of the younger people find what their really looking for in life.

- Notice how especially hot/sweet they are
- Get butterflies in your stomach even when you see them online
- read their messages over and over and over again until you have basically memorized them
-save all the sweet long text messages they sent you
-think about them ALL the time
- Sleep with them beside you and wake up in the morning with them beside (even though physically they are not present)
- Think about how nice it will be if you could be together forever
- EVery little thing they say seems SO big
- You tell them everything and trust them
- you care ALOT about them
- can't go on a day without them


yes im in love :) <3

When you realize that you can't imagine your life without them...

I know that I'm in love when I stop feeling those things. When I feel comfortable around them, like I'm not being judged for anything. I can love the person as they are, we don't judge each other. When I know that with them, I am home. Like I just don't have to try so hard to be perfect, because everything I've been working for is right there with me. I know I'm in love when I can't stop thinking about them. When I feel high from endorphins all the time. I look happier. I am more comfortable with myself, because when you truly find love, everything else will fit together. You won't have that gap in your life anymore, like maybe there's something your missing out on. I know I'm in love, when, despite all my other problems and issues, I'll know everything is alright. Love takes the stress off. I know I'm in love when I have that secure feeling of knowing he'll always be here. :)

I think that every person has his/her own way of knowing when they're in love. Well I get very nervous when that person is around me. I know that many people confuse love with like or attraction, but deep down in my heart I am very sure that what I feel and have been feeling for the last three years really is love. Even though I am not with that person and it didn't work out between us, but I still love him more than anything in the whole world. I think that this is part of being in love, when you don't stop loving him when you're not with him, and you don't start to go out with many guys just to forget him. For me, he's always with me, next to me in every breath that I take. I have a smile on my face right now because I really love him so much. I've been through a lot but I never blamed him in anything. I would rather blame myself than him, I would rather hurt myself than him. I know that I am in love because when he's near me I get all red, I start shaking, I smile just looking at him, and by just looking into my eyes one can tell that I really am in love. I always try to open conversations about him with everybody that I talk to. And whenever someone says something negative about him and tells me that he's not worth it, I just smile and say "you don't know him, please don't say anything negative about him when I'm around, because I get offended". I really can't put it into words what I feel, but it's something beautiful and awesome. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because I don't talk to him for hours before falling in sleep, but other times I SMILE and thank God that it's him and not anybody else. Sometimes I think that I am crazy, but loving him seems so right. I see my future with him. I see every minute and second of my future life with him! He's my first and last love. It's been 2 years that I am not with him anymore, but I have never dated anybody since than, I swear. It doesn't feel right, deep down something tells me to wait for him, and I am still waiting for him to see that I have changed and regret every little wrong thing that I did to him. I feel that without my love to him, I can't survive. And I am hundred percent sure that I can give my life up for him without even thinking for a second, because if he isn't in this world then I don't want to be here either. Whenever I feel that I need to talk to him, I can easily call him or message him without thinking that it's not right, because when you're in love it doesn't really matter who call whom first, or who messages whom more. It's about listening to your heart.

To be in love is when you stay awake whole night just to think about him...

I know that every person will definitely know when they're in love, because it's a feeling that cannot be ignored. It gives you hope, courage, sadness, happiness - everything, but it's all worth it if you truly love him. You know when you're in love when all you do is think and daydream about him whole day, and you smile for no reason. It's also when you're honest with him and true to him ALWAYS.

I know that everyone will find their true soul mate one day, and if you do, never do anything that you'll regret one day. Always be honest with your other half and yourself. And always ~Listen to your heart~

p.s. it's when you keep all your text messages with the one you love, and read them everyday and smile. or it's when you look at their pictures before you wake up every day, or go to sleep every night. you can't really explain it, but i love being in love - even if it hurts sometimes because I am not with him anymore..

When you know he's with somebody else, and you smile and say "i am very happy for you" and you continue to love HIM not anybody else.

I've never been there. Boo me.

you want to watch The Lion King and its sequels on repeat while eating a sausage egg and cheese burrito for some odd reason

most responses you get will probably be from middle schoolers who confuse love with a crush.

Love is undefinable and therefore irrational. When you are in Love you will find yourself making ridiculous excuses for your hearts desire, over looking "deal breakers" that would otherwise send you screaming, and choosing to spend time with your future ball and chain rather then attending to responsibilities and hobbies you once prioritized.

As the "honeymoon phase" of Love fades away you find that Love leaves you still swooning but in a very different way. Now equipped with an immunization to your Lovers blinders you will argue and find solace in those activities you once shunned to spend extra moments together. This is okay because when someone asks you, "Why do you Love Him/Her?" you still won't be able to put your finger on it. That is okay because again Love is never rational.

As you grow older together you develop "familiarity". Your passionate lust/love now turns to unconditional caring that rivals the connections of a mother and child. Even at this point Love will not be easy to define but by now you may have developed reasons you enjoy each other company more then others. Trust is also a big part of Love at this level.

YOu when you are in love when:

1. You can do simple things like grocery shopping, walking the dog, hanging with friends and still enjoy yourself and your partner's company.

2. If you argue you makeup afterwards.

3. You can do all the crazy things together.

4. Your partner influences you in some way or another. (hopefully good stuff)

5. You don't ask "Am I in love?" because you know.

6. also i believe you can't be "in love" with someone if you have known the person for only a couple of months. Being in love means staying in love. When you are in love you stay in love even when you become very comfortable around that person.

When you see him and you feel as if you can't breathe even after a year together . When you can't wait to see him again even when he just left . When he smiles at you your knees shake . When he calls you "baby" you really believe that you are his baby . When he kisses you in the morning and the last thing that you thinking about is his breath . When he introduces you as his girlfriend to his friends you couldn't be more proud . When he talks about his future and you are in it and can't wait to see what may happen.

when justin bieber isn't on your mind 24/7

i started noticing how quickly i kept forgetting things after i fell in love reciently. And , if you keep on thinking of the person and keep smiling when you with them, those are signs that you're in love!! or even without them being infront of you, thinking of them makes your heart pound, right ? :)

when she sticks it in her own a** and lets you finish inside her.

This should be a personal answer. I feel comfortable, my palm 's hands are very cold, with a dry lips being with my partner. A bit shy. Her absence leaves inside of me an empty space that only her can fill.

i don't mean to act like a real dork, but, i'm so old that i forgot. i'm real sorry.

You Know that You're In Love with the person YOU are DATING when you both feel comfortable with one another and you share intimacies that you two are wishing that the situation would never end. So consequently you're discussing marriage and that is love on many levels.
Good luck
Please rate

To me, you know youre in love when you cant picture yourself with any other person. You can't stop thinking about that person and when you are with him/her, nothing or no one else matters. Just being with them or talking to them makes you so happy. You are totally yourself when with them and feel comfortable talking to them about anything- you trust eachother to the full extent. Also, anything you two do together is enjoyable. Just thinking about him/her makes you smile. :)

You realize that you have just laid a brick on the gas pedal of your life.
When you see her/him your heart lights up like a Christmas tree.
When you are near her/him you feel young and alive.
The sound of their voice is like music to your ears
You have a hard time thinking about anything else, but so easy to think about your beloved.
You feel anxious when you have to say goodbye and so relieved when you say hello.

1)when in random situations, you picture them there right next to you. you try to shake itt off but you cant.

2)you know your starting to get feelings for the other person when you are constantly wanting to write their name over and over in a journal and trying to find things in common.

3) You try to picture what would happen if they asked you out or proposed to you and first you feel happy and then your stomach starts to turn

4) If you are not currently in a relationship with them, you try to get your friends to find out if they like you and if you find out they do, you get overwhelmed with happiness, then sadness, then lovestruck, then extreme amounts of stress

5)You admire the small things about them that no one else notices like their hair color

6) if you are not currently in a relationship with them at least 2/3 of your brain convinces itself that you will eather a) date them or b) marry them

7) all day and some nights you are thinking about them and wondering if they ever think about you

8) most nights that you can sleep your dreams feature them in some way

9) every song you hear you can either a) relate to your current relationship with them or b) can relate to your future relationship

10) You spent all your time within 100 yards of them trying to get near them but when you get withing talking distance, all you can say is "hi" and then run away

"Someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked with anyone else."
:)

when you put up with so much crap you thought youd never in your life put up with!!!

You just know. I am in love with my best guy friend. Even though we are not technically together. I know I am in love with him. I can't stop thinking about him. I am actually thinking about him as I am writing this. Sometimes it is hard for me to focus because he takes up most of my thinking. I get butterflies all the time when I am with him. I get a warm fuzzy type feeling when i see him. I start to miss him the second i say goodbye. When I think of my future and marriage, he is what i see....every single time. My friends would tell me that i was in love with him at first, but i would deny it because it was hard for me to believe because i have never had a boyfriend. Then one day I just came out and said that i was in love with him to my girl best friend. The hardest part for me right now is telling him how i feel because i chicken out every time i attempt to.

- thinking of that person every minute
- really care about that person's best interest
- proud of who he really is and not planning to change him
- only have eyes for that person
- dreaming about your future with that person
- becoming a better person subliminally for the one you love
- ability to hold back or let go if you believe it's not best for that person

If you got a tick for all the above then you are in love... Please have a look at my question if you have a moment, thanks

x Every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year [Ect.] they're on your mind. No matter what. Whether you're on Yahoo! Answers or in the swimming pool.
x The second they leave you, you start missing them. Even if you saw them for a whole day.
x When they're with you... Nothing can bring you down. Unless, of course, they get hit by a train or something.
x You can have hour-long comfortable silences just cuddling and staring up at the sky.
x When you look at them, your face lights up and you grin like an idiot.
x Even if they don't have a cell phone, every text you heart gets faster cuz you think that somehow they texted you
x Every time the phone rings you get excited.
I think you get the picture.

You know you are in love when all the imperfections of the world matter a little less, because you finally found the person that makes whatever direction the world is tilting a better experience. You know you're in love when you can spend countless hours doing absolutely nothing but love every moment of it because you're together. You know you are in love when the stupidest of moments can send you into a whirlwind of laughter and happiness. You know you are in love when the thought of anything happening to said person becomes your own demise, the greatest tragedy you can imagine. And when you'd give anything in the world to make sure that the other person is happy, loved, and safe.

When you finally understand how to unconditionally care for a person for every moment whether it be bad or good, whether the sun is shining or the storm is screaming, that's love.

you will know when you're in love, your heart will race as fast as the sports car thats wining a race when you see him. Your tummy will become a home for millions of butterflies. You feel like you are flying when he is around. When he talks to you time freezes, no one else matters. Your lips will not be able to stop smiling. At his single touch you will melt. You'll feel special when he says your name. You would throe yourself in front of a bullet to save his life. He is the one you think about before you sleep, and the first thing that jumps into your head when you wake up. You will feel like you're a goddess if he gives you a compliment. You will constantly want to impress him, want him to notice you. You want to be around him.
Thats how you know when you're in love ))) <3 <3

They are always on your mind.

You know when you're in love when you can talk to a person all day. When you can share anything with that person. When you want their happiness over your own. When you're riding on clouds from merely being in their presence. When you can't get enough of a person. When you want nothing more than to be with that person. When you would do anything for that person. When even seeing their name on your phone makes you smile, and seeing them in person makes you giddy beyond belief. When the feel of their hand on yours, or their breath on your neck, is something that you can't get out of your head. THAT is when you're in love. At least, that's what I think.

when you feel like they have known you all your life, but have only known your for maybe a couple of years :3.
when you feel like you know them better than you know some of your own family
when you feel like your biggest fear is disappointing them
:D.
When they can say I love you too when they are around all their friends :3
when they can be with you on the days you feel your ugliest and not be embarrassed by you, but tell you that you look beautiful
when you smile just when you hear their voice
you get that feeling under your ribcage when you think of the good times you've spent with them :3
but most importantly when you know you can be yourself, around anyone and you know they will still love you the next day :33

True love is when you don't have to be anything but yourself around that significant other. They love you just the way you are, and you love them just the way they are.
You're always comfortable around them and you never have to worry about making a fool of yourself. Why? Because they love every aspect of you.
True love is about understanding each other and trusting each other. It's about going through hell and back together, only to find that your relationship is stronger than ever.

True love is when you are absent one from another and you both find yourself more fond of your significant other.

How I knew I was in love ?

He has always accepted me for what I am. And, adores me anyway.

OK - This is how I knew (not everyone experiences that "moment" of ah - I am in love the very same way, of course). It is different for all of us. I KNEW I loved my husband to be when:

I thought about him almost every waking moment - and when I say this, I mean I thought about every part of him (if you know what I mean);

I could not wait for his phone calls (I was actually breathless). We had a long distance relationship for a while;

When he wanted something from the store or something (like a favorite candy or burger or shake or anything) I went out of my way to get it for him;

I was driving my car and kept getting lost because I kept thinking about him all of the time - especially on the way to and from work (I was forever - and still do - getting lost);

I just blurted out those three little words - I love you - one day unexpectedly - without warning - they just popped out of my lips;

Anytime he left to go back to the West Coast (I lived in Virginia, he lived in California), a part of me actually withered - not actually died - but just felt less whole. Does that even make sense ?

When he was sick, I stayed with him until he was better (taking care of him, making sure he took his medicine, kept his appointments, cooking and cleaning for him, etc.);

When I held him in my arms, I could dream of a future with him and growing old with him;

Feeling his heartbeat against my ear - it was like music to me;

I worried about him when he was not with me - was he warm, safe, happy, sad, hungry, etc.;

I realized I did not want anyone else to be with him. I guess what I mean is - I did not want him to EVER have another lover or significant other;

His crazy family did not scare me away (and I mean they are actually certifiably crazy - like diagnosed and on SSI (government support) for being insane and not capable of taking care of themselves;

I put his dreams, aspirations and happiness above my own;

I wanted to learn to make his favorite foods;

He is the first person I want to see in the morning, and the last person I want to see at night;

I tell him all my secrets;

For the first time in my life, I have NEVER (not once) faked it with him - I don't have to;

I wanted to help him become a better person, and I want to be a better person because of him;

and the number one reason:

I said yes when he asked me to marry him (I had been asked before many times - I said yes to him).

We control our own destiny.

...Only love is real...

Peace.

There is a different definition of love for everyone. I've never been in love, but I imagine it's being able to completely be yourself with the other person, and having that feeling that you just know you are right for each other. <3

When you feel like nothing else matters, except seeing them and you don't care if you have to walk or drive insanely far just to see them for 5 minutes. They're everything to you. But personally, I don't think you really know the extent of the love you had with someone until you lose them.

You never know, it's different with every person.
You could get little shocks when you touch, or when you see them you could be nervous, get butterflys.
You could melt when you see thier eyes, or get lost in them.
You could see no flaws, be blinded by love.
You could be overprotective, needy, have all your walls completly down.
You could be head over heels and not evn know it.
You can try to ignore it, but It'll be there, and you would should know that the more you ignore it the stronger it gets.
You know your in love when your reaction to this person is different than any other person in the while entire world.

Wow! I think its when after u make love with that person u catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror and u realize u are glowing and smiling! Also i think when your heart races when u even see their name pop up on the caller ID and then even more so when u hear their voice!! When u find yourself thinking of him/her 100 times a day! When u start looking forward to doing things together and cant imagine doing them alone! And finally i think its when you would rather do nothing with him -than something with anybody else!!!

when you feel like you could look into their eyes forever, and just be comfortable with silence or noise

*You don't want to spend time away from each other, 3 days feels likes 3 months!
*The arguments and little annoying things don't matter anymore
*You're best friends
*You can hang out all day doing absolutely nothing and still have fun
*You take care of each other when sick or injured
*Always there for one another when times are rough with family or friends
*You can laugh together about all the embarrassing mistakes made in the beginning of the relationship

I'm so lucky. I'm in my mid 20's and with my soul-mate. We've been together 8 short years, and i still count the hours down everyday for him to come home from work.

-They are all you think about all day
-1st thought in the morning and last thought at night
-your time togather is never enough
-you can stare at them for the longest
-never get tire of kissing him-all you want to do is be with him
-you stop looking at other guys
-you are in his arms and everything dissaperes, problems, worries, people
-when you think of him you in a different world
-your world starts revolving around him
-only person you want to be with
-love songs remind you of him
-a txt or call makes you smile and makes your day
-always wanting to know about them, from them
And way way more.....but at the moment thats all I remember from my 1st inlove expirience

1. When all you can think about is them.

2. When you can imagine them perfectly.

3. When you can't stop looking at them.

4. When they smile, you smile too.

5. You have to think over the things you want to say to them.

6. When everything you do requires thought about how the person you love would react to it.

7. When you think they are the most beautiful thing you have ever seen when they smile at you.

Many of these answers are good. But it is something you can't explain. You can try, but it is one of the most difficult things to do.
They make you smile and laugh all the time. You feel safe around them and can trust them with anything. It's when something as simple as a hug fixes everything. You can feel it between the two of you. You want to stand by their side, even if they are wrong. You want to encourage them and help them in any way possible. They make you want to become a better person. You really can see yourself being with that person forever. You really can see yourself growing old together.
You can take the time to try to write out and explain everything on how it feels, but in the end, there are simply just not enough words. It is a feeling. It is a connection. It is something that cannot be explained and put into words. It is like asking why does the sun shine, the wind blow, or the river run. It is a beautiful thing that is natural and cherished between two people. A thing where the person is your best friend, your best teammate, the one you want to always be by your side, the one who makes you laugh when all you want to do is cry, the one who makes you smile when you are mad, the one who frustrates you the most but you can never stay mad at them for long, the one you run to when something is wrong, the one you ask for advice, the one who makes you feel safest, the one who truly, deeply cares about you, and the one who makes you happy, they are the one who you want to spend the rest of your life with.
That is why they are called "The one."

When you don't get jealous of them talking to the opposite sex and knowing you have nothing to worry about

When you they help you keep your priorities straight and don't have to have every second of your attention

when you are able to solve the problems you have between each other and don't just ignore the problem

when you try and help the other ones dreams come true

being able to trust them

realizing you don't have to talk to them every single day and still knowing they love you

there's a lot more reasons, but I can't remember them at the moment

The feeling is different for everyone. For me, everything just seems to click with the person. Her personality makes me laugh. Every time our eyes meet we smile at each other and we can have a conversation for hours because the vibe between us feels so good. The person is like a drug and you want more of them. When apart, that person is usually always on my mind. I wonder what they are doing at any particular moment.

Some would argue that love is more of a spiritual thing; others would say that it is brain chemicals telling to produce offspring with the person we love. Who really knows for sure? Love is a mysterious thing. It's kind of like asking someone "what happens when you die?” No one can give you a 100% "right" answer ...

When the other person's happiness is yours. When he calls and you get off the phone and jump up and down with joy, and you are over thirty.
Love is happy, joyous, makes so many minor irritations even more minor.
Love is giddy, serious, a little too intense, but never hurtful.

When you love someone its all an outflow from your heart. When you are loved in return you feel it from him and it renews and refreshes your supply to give to him. It really doesn't end or fade out. Even in the hard times we all have.

You know you are in love when you feel happier and more secure than you ever have before.

I answered this because there was 666 answers and it freaked me out >:P

You know you're in love when:
-All you think about is your significant other
-You think about the next time you will spend time together
-You think about the previous time you spent together
-You think about your first kiss with them
-You think about them you often smile to yourself
-You think about your first date
-You text them just to say I miss you.
-When you hear there voice on the phone and you just smile

when you start to think about him/her all the time

When the first thing you think about the second you wake up is them. When you are so mad at them you don't want to talk them but you still want them to stay on the line. When you think about them to stop being mad at them. When you literally can't imagine yourself with anybody else other than that person. When they tell you that they want to be with you forever you actually trust them without a doubt. When the whole world could disappear and you would be happy with just them.

There are 3 stages:

1 - the physical stage. After you notice someone, you develop a crush-like state. You may have butterflies, your temperature is raised, you may blush, you may feel nervous all-around. That's a crush.

2 - The emotional stage: the person you like becomes your main thought process in your daily activity. You may even daydream about him or her.

3 - During the dating period, you are in love when you 2 begin emotional intimacy (not physical intimacy) and emotional sharing with a sense of fulfilment

Love means you would never want to be away from that person, that your lives are now braided together, one life, one goes the other does as well. Knowing you would never want to be away from them, when it hurts to be away from them even though their only in the next room, or down the street picking up dinner. That you would rather die then lose them, that your life would have no purpose, that it would be over, if you did. That you would walk a thousand miles just to see their face, to see them smile at you. That you would give your last breath to protect them, give your life for them. Love them every second of the day. When you close your eyes all you see is them. They are always on your mind. That if every minute of your life has been a living h*ll or mundane it's all worth it because you found them....That's love

Love is almost impossible to define but I'll try;
- When your feelings NEVER change for them
- Even when your soo pissed at them, you still never want to loose them
- When no matter how long you date, you still have thta warm fuzzy feeling
- when you get nervous
- When you try you hardest to be good enough for them
- when no matter how long you go with out seeing eachother or talking, you still think about them 24/7
- When even if you cry for them, you never think of them badly
- When you sit here reading these answers and have that special someone on your mind the whole time
- when you want to be with them and talk to them forever
- When even in the worst times, you stay possitive for that special someone because you dont want anything bad to happen to them.
- When you do the dumbest things ever because you're trying to hard to make them happy

That's what love feels like to me.

- When you can't look at other people.
- When you think about them all the time.
- When you keep wishing to be with them when you're not.
- When they are attractive to you even when they're not attractive to your friends/family.
- When you defend them.
- When even after they break up with you, you can't be mad at them.
- When you fight and the next day you pretend like nothing ever happened.
- When you get butterflies when you're about to see them.
- When you miss them like crazy.
- When you listen to music that reminds you of them.
- When you feel like the happiest person on Earth even though everything else is going wrong.
- When you accept them for who they are.
- When you include them if your future.
- When you find a million reasons to walk away from them, you find that one reason to stay.
- When you have that feeling in your heart, knowing they're the right guy/girl.

Ok, try eating a lot of chocolate at one time (but not to the point of being sick). If the feeling you have when eating chocolate is similar to the feeling you have for him, then you know you are in love :)

1. when you miss the person just a few hours after they left you know you are in love.
2 you are very nervous all the time you are in love
3. your eating habits change
4. you would rather be around that person instead of eating
5.nothing else matters in your life
6.you start doing things that you would never normally do.
7. you sit by the phone waiting just for that person to call (hanging up on everyone else)
8 you start wearing the same clothes (oh my)
9 your eyes start to twinkle
10. Your in love when your heart beats faster than your brain cells.

When you don't have to ask.

When i trip over my own shoe while staring at him...

you start believing that the person you love is different than all others

never been in love so i don't know......... I'll have to be report back when i am in love.

When your in love,your anger grows uncontrollable for no reason and you start bashing everyone around you.

Hope that helps!

I know i'm in love when I feel,do, and notice these things.
1- I feel that no one else in the world is more important then the person I love
2- I would do anything for this person even if it was my life or theirs I would pick theirs
3-Every little flaw in that person is beautiful to me
4-I just want to be with them, forever<3
I have only been in love once. And it's the best feeling in the world.
But it gave me the worst sadness when it ended.

Plain and simple, I would give my life to her...

498 days left till I see her... When you know everyday it gets easier to miss her. When you know 498 days is worth every wait and when you realize 498 days doesn't compare to the days I would spend my life with her...

You'll get a notice in the mail with 3 days to respond.

when you can talk to them about LITERALY EVERYTHING!!
and when you think of your future you dont see your self with anyone else

My heart feels heavy. I want to talk to her. To tell her I love her. To protect her. To hold on to her. To support her, and to make her feel loved. That is when I know that I am in love with her.

Love is unique to each person, though the abstract concept of it covers the same feelings. It's in the way you feel when you look at the person, how they can make you smile when you don't feel like it and how you feel when you're close to them.

Physically speaking, of course. Mentally, you want to be the best person that you can be for them. They may inspire you or be your muse. They give you strength.

You cannot go a day without thinking about them, and you think of them often. Seeing them or hearing their voice is the greatest blessing, may make you weak in the knees. Simple things may remind you of them, or you'll get excited and want to tell them something that they would find interesting.

And you want to do all of this to them, make them feel happy and loved, wanted and adored.

You cannot be without them- you want them by your side.

And it's so much more, each part unique and lovely. For example, the first sign that popped up when I was falling for my boyfriend was that I would come home from seeing him, and I'd randomly be smiling. I still look at a picture of him that I take with me where ever I go, and it makes me smile. Any song that reminds me of him has the same effect. He makes me intensely, clumsily, dreamily happy.

the following is a desperate attempt to explain something we are born with, something evolution has chosen to ensure the continuation of the species

love is like the wind, its something you feel but can't see
anyway there is this awesome feeling near the heart that one will feel

there is a fine line between seduction and love, when you see someone and you like them does not mean you love them
you need to know each other

and hey, you are never in love if you think Shakespeare is an idiot
you are never in love if you wouldn't want to hear romantic songs now and then, unless love is based on friendship

love has so many unfair rules, if someone doesn't want you, you will want them more
and if someone is insanely in love with you, unless your love is based on friendship, you will end up not loving them
sadly, these rules are true

"love which is not based on friendship is like building a castle on the clouds"
it's an illusion that will end terribly

you know if you have been in love if you have been broken heart, being broken heart doesn't kill you, you just wish you did
I don't know why they call it "broken heart", its feels like all other body parts are broken too
google "broken heart symptoms"

I would like to spread the word, for guys who play with girls' emotions just to get what they want, there are places you pay and get what you want, unless you really want a girl you should make sure she is not falling in love with you, "don't let her fall in love with you unless you want to catch her"

also you know you are in love when you make Freudian slips when talking to/about them, when you feel bad if they don't want you, and what kills you and is evil, if they act like they want you when you are with them, and then not respond to your phone calls, you will find out how much you can tolerate, these are called "love games", being angry becomes love

for me, after the experience I've had, I am preventing myself from trusting people, I wish I don't fall in love again, I would rather fall in chocolate :)
what's wrong with "too much friendship"? except for time of marriage

to sum it all:
"Love is just love, it can never be explained"

When you only want the best for the other person.... lucky me! I am the best lol

When you do not have to ask

When you can't picture your life without them and wouldn't want to.

LOVE!!!! cannot be described.

I think when you don't have to ask if you're in love.

This is lame.

You just know

you're in love when: you imagine if they get in a terrible debilitating accident that leaves them handicaped or deformed, you'll want to take care of them and love them anyway... regardless of what they look like or are unable to do after their accident.

Love doesn't exist...(:

You can't stop thinking of them, want to be around them even when your mad, sad, etc. (love is a choice).

For me, I can't stop smiling! Whenever I think of the person, see the person, or even hear their name mentioned, I smile uncontrollably :) I also can't think of what to say! When they talk to me, I just sit there, still with a huge goofy grin on my face!

When you both talk, you blush all the time and you don't act the way you would with your friends, for example. Like, you're just not the "smartypants" or the jock anymore - you might seem stupid and lost, but all you're really trying to do is concentrate on remembering all the things he/she says, every move he does, every smile... And when you go back home, you spend hours and hours awake in your bed thinking and smiling and wishing every single day of your life could be that beautiful. :)

It's just something that you know :)

When you start to feel all tingly in your shorts.

Peace,

How do I know when I am in love?

Well, I know when I'm in love with someone when I watch or listen or look at the one I love over and over again. Obsessed.

I feel a feeling in my heart which fills me with some sort of pride and happiness when being with the one whom I love.

I feel a satisfaction that lights up my soul from my heart to my extremities.

I would give up anything, even if it's my one million dollar house or my body just to be with and "embrace" the one I love.

I would listen to every word my one true love says to me and do everything he wants me to do.

I would sing to my love because he's a source of joy and love for me for the rest of my life...

Happy belated Valentine's day!!

Peace!

When you're stalking them on fb and reading their messages over and over and always thinking about them ... and ... oh i could go on and on !

You stop thinking about what life without them would be like because it's too painful, and you spend more time working at making life with them a more joyful experience for BOTH of you.

Well, you can't just go out and try to find love. Love as explained in the bible is different then what your typical love would be here. For example, a love here could be characterized as Justin Beiber love saying something like "I believe you should wait to have sex until you find love". I mean the guy is still a young teen. Now compare that to a love between a couple that may want to follow the ways of God and being faithful to each other ect.
Some of what I do know is that love does not boast, hate, envy, lust, hurt in case you did not know that.
Now as far as to what your talking about, I think that for me, personally since I am close to God, I can rest assured that he can protect me in many or all situations. I also believe, that if you actually have a relationship with God which is needed just as any other relationship but better, he will guide you into your needs and wants.

When I stop overeating and I have more energy than I know what to do with

i feel warm and protected near the one person

I think you can tell when your in love with somebody if all you do is think about them. You defend them, and you just want them to be happy even if it isn't with you.

1) You can be yourself and show who you truly are.
2) You are willing to do anything for that person
3) When you make time to go see them no matter what
4) You can see yourself with that person in the future
5) You and the one you love feel special when you are together
........many more reasons but those our my top 5

When I know I am in Love, My heart and my soul lose control. I know that may sound childish, but once you know that your in Love, you have not a care in the world what other people might think. You love him, and you know he loves you. Now if you know he's in Love, he sings, and dances like no one is looking... He is just having fun, and he loves being in Love. That is how I know I'm in Love.

You know when your in love when:
1. You can be honest with each other.
2. You can say anything and they wont make fun of you.
3. When you can talk for hours about random things.
4. You can definitely tell your in love when they kiss you or vice versus

I can tell when im in love when i cant speak, shy, or nervous.

You know your in love when these things happen
-You don't think you can live with out him/her
-Your heart starts beating like a drum around him/her
-He/She always puts a smile on your face no matter what they do
-He/She makes you laugh even when something isn't funny
-You can talk to each other for hours on end on about any subject
-They get you something for valentines every year (not the most for sure way but it is a sweet thing for him/her to do)
-No matter what yours or their friends say they always are in your heart (unless its about him/her cheating on you then that's a different matter)
So no matter if its different or similar feeling to one of these you will just know it in your gut that you love him/her

When you know the person could break you completely, but you trust them not to.

Love? the most amazing and exciting feeling in the whole world.
- Have you ever had a moment when you were in the crowd and you thought of that one person and suddenly smiled? and all the person around you are staring at you like you are a fool?
- Just seeing that special person looking you once, made your whole day with smile.
- Once being ignored by that person made your whole day worst.
- Just to see that person you do anything.
- Forget about the rest of the world and just look at that person
- Thought you could spent your whole like by just staring at that person
- Got nervous or scared to talk to that person
- Heart beats faster when you see them
- Pray at night to god about them
- Deing to see their smile
- When they are sad, you are not happy either
-have done so many things just their attention
- Thought of them every moment
- 11:11 wish?

All these?? i know right. Love is most amazing and saddest feeling in the world.IF someone you love doesn't love you, don't worry when you were born, god made someone already for you.. It just takes time for you to find who it is..

When their name makes you take a breath in and when you breath out it brings a huge smile on your face!
When having a conversation all you can think about id the fact your with that person.
When You can be a fool in front of them, and know they're totally cool with it.
When you hug and it feels right, and not awkward. <3
When they hold you and you skip out of reality and flick into your own world.
When you can't go 10 minutes without thinking about them, and thinking about how you want to be with them.
Well...
That's how i know when i'm in love. :)

Pippy x

Well...this is a question i once myself asked about 3 years ago. i was in love with the idea of being in love. i thought it was such a beautiful experience, and yet i didn't know what it felt like. i was young, and curious. it wasn't until now that i am almost positive. you will most definitely know when your in love. but, in case you want to check this is what i feel:

When im with him its like nothing else matters in the world. its just me and him. and i don't care who sees us because i feel like hes perfect. the way he talks, the way he moves, the way he says im beautiful. and on the inside you feel as if your heart is climbing your way up into your throat and trying to escape your body. and it feels like you have butterflies in your stomach whenever3 you think about them. and when you touch, your heart races. and it just takes your breath away. and your just yourself with him. although you may act rather goofy and joke around, but that's just some of the fun in it. you can be yourself and more.

You will learn to love, love.
I hope you find it, and are as happy as i am,
<3

when the first an last thing you think about in the day is him/her.

when you do what ever you can to hold his or her hand
you look into each others eyes and cant help but smile
when you get butterflies in your stomach when he calls you
And lastly when you least expect it he or she will do whatever he can for you no matter what it is.

When you want to wake up to that person every day for the rest of your life.

Song writers and poets have been asking that question for centuries.

The consensus is: you will know when you are in love.

When nothing else seems to matter and you cant stop thinking about that person

when you can do anything in front of that person without them judging you as a PERSON. WHEN YOUR TUMMY DROPS AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE A FEELING GOOD INSIDE OF YOU FOR THAT PERSON.

when you think about that person more than anybody else, and you would do anything for them

When you don't have to ask or think about it because you just know. There is no logic at all but its great!♥

Well, i'm in love right now! You can just feel it, it's different than any other relationship you've experienced in your life. You think about being with them constantly, you hear their voice when they're not around, songs sound different, situations/desires change. EVERYTHING changes. You start realizing that they way you live your daily life is for them. For me, I finally stopped being scared. I knew that things would be alright. I finally found peace because well, i'm in love. He changed my world for the better and he's a blessing.

When you feel safe being around that special someone, you can imagine you future with that person. They're your support system, they have your back though the good times and the bad, when they respect you and understand you, when they don't judge you and don't listen to others, when they introduce you to his family, when you and him have fun together, when they give you their coat off their back when you need it, when they show interest in things each other do, when that person makes you laugh, when that person is trustworthy, when you have eye contact, when you're outgoing, when he cares about you and when they say "I LOVE YOU" and mean it.

When you stare into their eyes and your heart begins to flutter. Like a million butterflies are trying to escape from your chest. And you can't help but smile every time you see or think or talk to them.
Or when you can't get them out of your head, especially when you are about to go to sleep. And when you can just be yourself, you don't have to change, you don't have to play it cool. You can mess up and just be able to laugh it off. You can cuddle and kiss, hug and relax into their arms. And you can laugh together and joke together and you just know in your heart that this feels right.

That is when you know you are in love.

You'll know it when you feel it. You'll put them before yourself. You get butterflies when you see their face, or hear their name. You get intoxicated by their smell (kind of creepy, but you know you get the point). You smile whenever you think about them. You will do anything for them. You'll dream about them. Nothing will feel better then being with that person. You KNOW that you can trust them. If ever you fight, you can't stay mad at them. Stare at them (stalkerish, but we all know we do it!). Daydream about that person. Can't get them off your mind. You can imagine each other together forever. You can't describe what it feels like in your heart. You feel safe around them. You can tell each other ANYTHING. You can't help but to be happy. Nervous, even though they love you for who you are.

And you know, that when you were reading this. That you had one person that you were thinking about. And comparing to see if you two had that.

<3<3

there is no such thing as true love. there is just LOVE. all love is true and when it IS love you know. like you may wonder now "how will i know?" but when it comes you will know. love isnt something you need to figure out. its something that just hits you. ♥

You know you're in love when your heart starts to palpate at a faster rate, you begin to sweat around the person, and the words that come out start to stutter. You want to make the mood as perfect as you can, but when you're in love, it becomes a moment of either glory or shame.

That's how you know you're in love. :)

Its when you meet someone attractive and after learning there personality you feel like there is no one on Earth you can be around or be with.

Love is that feeling that makes you feel strong and weak at the same time. It is caring and respect for the other person. It is that companionship that you want all your life. When you love someone, you love because that feeling is reciprocal. It is something that makes you want to have a life with that person, make a family, make a home. You know that you are willing to give anything for that person because you care for them, not because they give you something in return. Love is a feeling that can overcome anything when you know that person is the one who matters the most in your life. Love is not selfish, it is not doubtful, it is not putting that other person down or hurting them in any way. Most of all, love is a sign of maturity. It is the time when you feel that you have accomplished the things in life to make the other person feel cared for, nurtured, and stabled. It is the time when you know you can share not only your life or your body, but everything else that comes in a marriage. When you love someone you know you are ready to stop being selfish. You know that you will share everything with that person. Love is that feeling that makes you give everything and anything not only for that person, but for everything that comes after.

It's a feeling,........in both of you the interest automatically born to meet , to live, to go outside with the partner.............it's a feeling that you like he or her most and wants to meet her or he inspite of bieng busy.........it's nothing but love

Its so simple - please take what I am about to tell you ssooo seriously because, honestly, I know its cliche but sweetheart it is how you know. When you sit back, and realize that you would let them go. That even though the pain of you losing them would be unbearable...... that you would let them go.

When that person is all you can think about... You don't know where you would be if you didn't have them in your life... All you want is to be next to them and never be apart... You share everything with them and you try your hardest to act right and not screw up but in the long run it doesn't matter because they love you and you love them and that's all that matters... :)

trust me youll know. love is something thats not just a word to say.

you know you're in love when

-you would give up everything to make that person happy
-you can tell them everything without the slightest worry of being judged
-it hurts to be away from them for any length of time, no matter how short
-when they hurt, you hurt
-you fight for them,in every sense- emotionally,physically....
-the world seems to stop when you see them
-you love them no matter there imperfections
-you feel accepted
-you cannot image a life without them
-you aren't afraid to admit the love you have for them

I dont know- that's just how I feel about my girlfriend. I love her its hard to explain how much I care for her..

When you feel and know in your mind, body and soul that you would do anything for this person. You would go through hell and back just for them. You would Travel to the ends of the earth, just to see them smile. To hear that laugh. To feel that same appreciation back. You would warm them in the cold and cool them in the summer. Make time for them and cherish them like your most prized possession. Love is Love but Love is eternally true.

when you're in love you don't give up on them. You look past what's going on and feel their pain. It feels as if your in perfect sync with them. You can just be there together happy. Moments with them feel like hours of happiness and you truly feel blessed. And when you have them all the little things don't matter because when your with them everything is perfect. There are differences but that just makes you feel closer. When you enjoy being together and just like being there with him/her. There's this feeling of comfort near them you have butterflies but not from being nervous. The butterflies are from not knowing what you did to be this lucky. The feeling just blows your mind. It is truly hard to describe.

i get a tingle in my body and my heart pumps really fast that how i tell

you can smell the sex in the air

when you fall in love you'll know. you get nervous around them and you can feel your heart skip a beat. if you have a class with them, you'll find yourself turning to stare at that person or will find yourself seated in your chair towards them. when you talk to them, your head gets all foggy and you don't wanna say anything, but you wanna say everything. they show up in your dreams and fantasies and you can't stop thinking about them. you'll look through your papers and realize you doodled their initials in hearts. you'll notice you talk to them in a different tone and you'll defend them if someone else insults them. <3

When you dream of them every night and those dreams don't scare you. When you think of them all the time and wonder if they are thinking of you as much as you are thinking of them. When the little annoying things that they do to bother someone else, doesn't bother you as much. When you laugh at the corny jokes they say. When someone comments to you how you are "glowing," and you know it is because of the person you love.

When one is simply overjoyed in the simple delights of LIFE like sharing an ice cream on the beach holding hand with your beloved and playing in the waves of sea zooms one into ecstasy of HAPPINESS that is boundless. LOGIC doesn't appeal to u, and one goes not only crazy but also goes head over heals to fulfil the desire of his/her beloved. In short,existence is PARADISE.on earth.What more to say? these are the clear cut indications of LOVE.

1- When seeing them becomes your high
2- When 5 minutes away from them is uncomfortable
3- When you try not to think about them but can't
4- When you fight you make up fast
5- When you would give your life for the person
6- When nothing could break your bond
7- When your in their arms nothing matters
8- When you see them you can't stop smiling
9- When they say it and you almost pass out

I know when I'm in love is when I feel more accepting of that person and their flaws and their mistakes... and still see them as perfect. I don't feel any kind of anxiety when I'm around them, I feel super comfortable and confident, like I'm ready to take on the world with them. I feel like my heart's gonna explode from my chest whenever I look him, and at the same time, I feel mellow and super chill. It's a very entrancing feeling. :)

you don't really know when you're in love
when you think you're in love that's infactuation which means it's just physical love or maybe you're in a state of depression or maybe your gf or bf just broke up with you and you are vulnerable for any circumstances. love doesn't have to be that [over reacting] feeling. but one thing is for sure, the only thing you feel when you're REALLY IN LOVE is that you are happy and no one can ruined that moment with you and that someone special.

heart beats

You know when you're in love when being with that one person makes you genuinely happy. Nothing else matters except for that particular moment when you're in their arms. They provide you with this feeling of satisfaction and joy. You can be your true self without feeling afraid and they accept you for it. You feel on top of the world and that you could conquer anything with them by your side. But most importantly, that person compliments you in ways no one else ever could.

When you realize it is going to be painful and a loss to even part and go separate ways from each other, so the effort to express feelings and work on that bond increase between each other. It might be just one of you knowing it, but it is wonderful when both of you see it coming and tell each other in that special intimate way........

$>if he can take away all the dis-eases and dis-comforts in my life, treats them with ease and i am comfortable.
$>if i don't hesitate to tell him what he's done right but hesitates to tell him what he's done wrong cos i don't want to hurt his feelings.
$>if i don't hesitate to seek his help and advice when i need them.
$>if i always long to see his face, even just a glimpse.
$>if i can't seem to stop talking about him.
$>if i can't find a place i want to be without him.
$>if i can appreciate him just the way he is and not wish for something extra.
$>if i am proud to call him mine.
$>if i want him with me wherever and whenever.
$>if you find i am moping and the first thing i say when you call me sounds like his name

You know... you just know.

When the magic 8 ball says you are.

haha oh, YOULL KNOW when ur in love<3!!!!!

You never do

Wish I knew the answer to that!

For me I knew i was in love because every minute of everyday that was the only person on my mind from the time i woke up to the time i went to bed and he was also in my dreams. I wanted to spend every minute of everyday with him even if we were doing nothing but just sitting alone in a room not even talking I was perfectly happy just being with him. I see myself having a family with one day and growing old togthere. Not much in my life makes sense sometimes but no matter what is going on in my world when ever iam with him nothing bothers me. And when he is not around I feel like Iam missing my other half like part of me is gone. Everyone feels love in a different way but when you are in love you will know it thats for sure.

I know when I'm in love when I find that the girl I like is the sexiest angel in the world. One I'd die for in a heart beat. One that I'd love forever to death. One that I'd never ditch or divorce. One that I'd live forever with till we die. I never get nervous around her, but I'm clumsy when I'm around her. One time we were walking together and I was looking at her and banged into a pole...but I guess that was ok, I did earn her sympathy...

You dream about him/her every night...
You want to tell him/her but won't
You find yourself looking at him/her

When you're in love, you'll know it.

When all you want to do is be with the person you're in love.
When you'd give up everything you have to protect them you're in love.
When you picture them old and wrinkly, and you can't help but get the stupidest smile across your face, you're in love.
When you have feelings for someone that you don't have for anyone else, you're in love.

when you can look at that person and honestly say if she was hit by a train gained 500 lbs and got her arms and legs cut off you would still be atracted to her because her personality never changed. When you see her cry and all you wanna do is cry yourself, but you dont because she needs someone to be strong for her. When you think of all of her flaws and things most people dont like about her and it makes you love her even more! when you melt everytime she is merely in your prescence!

You know you’re in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won’t laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight long after they are gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you’re in love when you miss them before they are gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spine. When they are the only thing you can think about. You know you are in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, “I love you” and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When they are hurt just because of these tears. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you are in love when you can’t imagine living without them, and can’t figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you are incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once.

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man:
How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...

That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know

That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:

messenger:[email protected]
Gente, mi adciona ai!
por favor!!!
Soy del Brasil!!!

when we doesnt know any thing.

love u all.

That person becomes your universe,your gravity!!!You don't want him to die,you know deep down in your heart that you want to die before him,so you never have to live without him!!!Heart beat reaches the speed of light!!!;)

when u cant stop smiling around them... wish if would never leave... can set for hours talk about anything and never get bored.... remember their favorite stuff always whenever you see it anywhere!!

When you're calling just to hear their voice, hoping when the phone rings it's them, wishing they were just around the corner, feeling nervous about how they're feeling about you, what they're thinking about things starts to influence you, and finally: when you don't even realize you're doing these things until you're in the middle of it, and you can't wait around for an answer anymore, so you just go for it.

all of the above the butterflies and the little smiles and you are in love

Butterflies, tingly palms, not knowing why u r so lucky in life.

You dream about them.

*when you can't sleep and thinking about that person most of the time
*when your heart beats fast whenever you're with him
*when you can't get enough of him
*you smile with that GENUINE SWEET smile when you're with him
*you always talk about him
*you always looking forward to see him

The feeling where that bottomless pit in your chest is filled with excitement and wonder. That one person that you would take a bullet for, or use every last penny on them just to make them happy. The one who makes you cry when your day isnt going to well.. The one who you know is there for you and will always be there by your side going through the worst to make it to the best. Its like a roller coaster with a bunch of loops and twists.. your with each other the whole time but it feels great when you get of and say "As scary as that was, im glad we got through it" :)

butterflies in your stomach

you know when you are best friends with the person you're with

You know that you're in love when You have butterflies and start blushing and smiling when you see them.You want to know everything about them and their ways from all angles.You talk to them continually, share your ideas and your enjoyable times and events together.You want to introduce them to everyone and to show them what you have found and are developing together.You have understanding for one another and know when something is wrong, like something pressing on the mind of the other.You spend as much time as possible with each other, and don't want to be apart.You want to do anything to make them happy.You feel like you're in heaven when he/she kisses you.You think to yourself "If no one is perfect, I'd like to know what his/her imperfections are!"You think about them and dream about them but can't explain to anyone how badly you feel about them.You're confident around them and not scared to talk to them.You feel empty when they don't talk to you.You'll desperately look around for him or her.You'll treasure gift that he or her gave to you, even a very small gift. There are many ways to know that you're in love.Some people think that their meant for each other. Love contains many things. Once you found it you get happy and try your best to stay with that person no matter what. You'll always try to make things right no matter what, that's how you know you're in love.

Your in love when you no longer have to ask. You just know that this is the one for you and you anything for her/him. thats the main way to know:)

other common side effects are:

- You are happy with that person. layin around in sweats or going out to a movie doesnt matter. as lone as your with him/her. BIG one for teen girls, you'd rather miss prom/just chill with your man if he didnt want to rather than force him to go..
-You see that he is NOT perfect. HOWEVER, you do know his flaws and they grow on you/you accept them instead of trying to change him/her
-You dont care if s/hes out with the friends, because u trust this person completely
-Just thinking of this person can sometimes put a goofy smile on your face at the most random moments
-Even if things go south, you work to change them. My bf broke up with me.. friends tell me to move on but i honestally love him and im willing to try to recover this relationship/risk getting more hurt.



SOOO, yeah! haha if you have any of those common symptoms than you may be in love... if the first statment applys to you then you ARE in love and i wish you all the happiness in the world:)

cuando uno se enamora, Esa mujer es el deseo de vivir, la alegría y la felicidad juntas, al oir su bos la pasión se apodera de uno al tocar su piel erosiones y emociones forman fuego en la piel, el corazón se acelera cundo ella se acerca, la mente vuela y susurra pensamientos y poemas para ella, el deseo de volverla a ver en cada despedida incrementa los nervios, porque se sienten sus labios en los labios de uno y su calor y aroma lo asen a uno quererla ver de nuevo. mirar sus ojos su cara su pelo abrasarla fuerte y sentir su cuerpo porque en ese momento se siente que el tiempo no termina porque cada ves se sueña con los ojos abiertos y todo lo que se puede ver es ella completita y se escucha su bos y nada mas, se huele su aroma y todo es una pasión de pasiones es un amor de amores y si toda la vida es así la vida nunca termina, cuando uno se enamora de ella el amor es eterno

when my heart tells me i am

I think it depends on the love! I met my boyfriend 4 years ago and it was literally love at first sight for both of us. We just talked for one night and we were absolutely in love with each other. By the second night we told each other how we felt... We have been together for 4 years since that night, and sure every relationship has it's up's and down's, but as a whole we are extremely happy together!

How to tell if you're in 'love at first sight': Something draws you to the person immediately. You may not be in love with them, but you find them just amazingly cool and want to talk to them. After a few hours of talking, you realize that there are butterflies in your belly, a big smile on your face, and you just can't take your eyes off that person. Either way, by the end of the night you will feel like this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, and if the other person feels the exact same way, you know you are meant to be!

This also happened with my grandparents. My grandpa saw my grandmother across the room at a party, and said to himself: "That's the girl I'm gonna marry!" He didn't tell anyone, but kept it at the forefront of his mind. Less than a week later, his friends set him up on a blind date. Sure enough, she was his blind date! They fell in love that night.... They were married for 49 years until my grandma passed away at age 69. However, my grandpa who was in perfect health passed away only 3 weeks later! Soulmates in life, and in heaven!

When I imagine my future, I imagine it with him.
When I smile, he is pretty much always the reason behind it all.
When I cry, he is he the one who never fails to hold me close until i'm all cried out.
When I look my worst, he still never forgets to tell me how good looking I am.
When I am angry, he never fails to take all my anger away and gets me back to my normal self.
When I can't see sense, he keeps my feet on the ground.
When I am in pain, all he wants to do is make it better.
When I can't do something for myself, he is always the first to do it.
When I argue with him, we argue like an old married couple.
That's love :)

Being in love feels wonderful, but it is often fleeting. You might think you're in love, but you're really in lust or infatuated. It's best to be learn how to know you're in love so you won't make any foolish mistakes.
Instructions
1.Realize that being in love creates chemicals in your body that make you feel high. Because of this, you may not care about what's going on in the world around you. To others, you may appear absent-minded.

2.Know that the world may seem brighter and more beautiful when you're in love. Don't be surprised if almost nothing can upset you.

3.Recognize that you will want to know everything there is to know about your lover--his likes, dislikes, what makes them laugh and his goals.

4.Notice that you may try to cheer up your lover when she's sad. When she's sad, it makes you feel sad.

5.Note that you can't remember what you ever saw in your ex-lover and you can't stand being near him. If you are near him, you feel like you're betraying your new love.

6.Be aware that you may be unable to perform even the simplest of tasks when you're in love--this is because you are often distracted thinking about the other person. Because of this, the physical safety of you and those around you may be at risk.

7.Acknowledge you can't concentrate on anything for any length of time when you're in love. Whenever you're away from your lover, you can't stop thinking about her.

8.Admit you're able to ignore the negative things you see in your lover. No one's perfect, and sometimes imperfections make your lover more endearing.

9.Answer "yes" to the following questions to know if your love will last: Can you be yourself with him? Does he still love you when you're at your worst? Does he make you feel good about yourself? Would you feel the same way if he got fat or was broke?

when you cant stop thinking about them

When you feel a deep connection with their soul. You feel that you're one, you have found the other half of your heart. You don't see physical nor mental attributes, just the person the way they are. Once you've found true love, it's very tough to get out of it.

Love is when you can't explain how you feel;
because when your with them/see them/hear them they take your breath away along with all your words.

So basically; love is when your left speechless, and the wind knocked out of you, and yet somehow you always feel your best when your with them.

Stalking someone and losing weight rapidly.

when your In Love with some one Your heart starts pounding when you see them you know deep inside you would be totally destroyed if you ever lost them you know that that's the person you want to be with forever and you don't ever want to loose that feeling and you just feel safe when your with them like nothing can break you as long as you have that person its just Truly wonderful feeling and i think every one should experience it at least once in their life time.

you can tell you're in love whenever you see the person your heart beats really fast when you see them and you probably have a hard time trying to talk to that person and look them in the eye (even though it already is hard) you may also blush whenever the subject of that person comes up or when they are near you. sometimes it may feel awkward to walk behind them. you'll probably be really jealous if you know someone who is close friends with them. you can also feel it in your stomach or whatever

"When you can't fall asleep because reality is better than a dream"
~Dr.Seuss

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Dr Suess

it's when ur ready to sacrifices 4 the people u love.
when u love them more than anything else.
when they're the only thing that matters.
when you're always worried about them.
when u feel safe when ur with them.
when u can't imagine ur life without them.
when u can be only yourself around them.
when they make u laugh when u don't even want to smile.
when they understands you even if u don't speak a word.
when they're the only ones u want to be with .
when u r ready to step away if that's what will make them happy.
when u feel their sadness.
when u cry if u saw their tears.
When u want them have everything they wish for.

When you see another person of opposite gender talking to the person you like, you wanna kill the person who they're talking to.

Love is very hard to explain, and can be hard to tame too.

(My expirience being in love..)
You can trust that person with your secrets, your words, your everything, and you know that they trust you back. You smile whenever you see them or think about them. You can't stop thinking about them, and they are always on your mind no matter what. You would do anything for them, you would do anything to make them happy. You love to be around them. You feel completley comfortable around them and you don't have to put on a mask to impress them. You can talk to them about anything, and I mean ANYTHING. To me love is just an unexplainable feeling that swells inside your entire body, it takes over and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it.

when you feel happy whenever your lover smiles =]

- You know when you're in love when you can't keep that person out of your mind.
- When you feel comfortable around that person. That you feel that you can be yourself.
- When every little thing reminds you of that special someone.
- When you want to give that person everything that you have and what to do anything to make him/her happy.
- When you check your messages to see if him/her has replied or to get your phone to text with him/her.
- Whenever you think of that person and you can't help but to smile as him/her is in your mind.
- When after knowing that person for a long time you still feel a little nervous whenever you are next to him/her.
- When you like if your being clumsy whenever you're trying to do something nice for him/her.
- How you feel that you will do anything just to be next to him/her and never leave his/her side.
- When you say "I Love You" without thinking about it and it comes from the heart.
- When you pass next to a palce where you guys have been there before, it brings you flasbacks of what you guyus were doing.
- When you give him/her something without expecting anything in return.
And there's so many things more that can tell you if you're in love. Each one of us are different so we all feel it in different ways. The only way to be sure is to trust your feelings.

when you heart beats fast.

There really is no answer to that question. You cannot define love as this or that. Love is just something you feel, something that all the words in the world could never even begin to describe. Love. It shouldn't be something you have to question, in other words, you shouldn't have to think "am I in love?" Love should be natural. Love should be something that once you have it you think, "this is it. This is what love is."

You just...know. There's no one else you'd rather be with than that certain person. They love you and you love them no matter what...faults, flaws and all. You can be comfortable enough to tell each other anything. You can see your whole future with that person. There's so much more than just that...love is everything. Love conquers every single obstacle, every single task in front of you.

I'm in love with an amazing guy...in my opinion, he's perfect. I know nobodies perfect but he's the closest to it, I'm sure. He saved me from so much. He changed me from an awful person to somebody I never thought I could be. He's made me who I am. He's my everything; my idol, my "partner-in-crime", my best friend, my lover. He's my whole world.

If I had nothing in the world but him, I would still have everything.

When you love that person more than yourself. When you love that person unconditionally.

When I was in Grace school and HS, I had several crushes, I actually went out to a movie to one of them. I never dated in HS. The guy I went out once with (drive-in movie did everything but . . . ), was kissing a girl in front of my locker. Three days after HS grad, I found a real job. He was the most handsomest guy @ work. I knew then he was the guy I want to marry! It seems like I was shooting Cupid's arrow right @ him, and him to me. On the 3rd day, he asked my phone #, 6 months later he proposed to me. We got married 2 years after. The guy? Married her, had two children, got divorced. She took the kids far, far away from him. He's still single and a loser!
Me? Still married 36 years.

you just cant explain it. its that feeling deep in your stomach and in your heart and when you think of the person, your heart beats so much faster and you feel as if you could fly. You feel like no matter what you go through as long as you have that other person, you will be fine. I find that when im around the guy i love, who is my husband, that i cant stop smiling and just touching him makes me so happy.. There is like a switch in your head that says this is the only person i want to spend my life with

How do i know i'm in love:

-When i'm talking to a woman i feel i may like, i'm more animated around her than other women. i engage in more conversation with that particular woman.

-i get nervous around the woman. My heart starts racing and pounding more. i start thinking about her frequently and my stomach even starts feeling tight.

-i always look forward to seeing her again and try to go out of my way to talk to her privately if i'm with a group of friends. / i'll try as best i can to obtain and maintain her attention, and i try as best i can to let her know that i'm interested in her.

-i start thinking that she would be perfect for me. That she fits what i'm looking for and that she would make me happy. i then ask myself if i can see myself with her, and if the answer is yes, then i continue to attempt to pursue a relationship with her.

you get a stong feeling!

Well from a science perspective:
When you have found an individual with good (in your perspective) health, drive to succeed, and good interactions with others; you wish to mate with that individual to pass on your genetic traits.
Love is when the traits mentioned above are felt by two individuals of opposite sex (please keep reading same sex love will be described later on)....thus they create a good feeling which we classify as love.
We wish to be protected, visa vi food and shelter, thus a drive to succeed is needed. Good iterations are parallel to success. We also wish for our offspring and ourselves to be protected.
To reproduce is to pass on our genetic traits, so health is a factor as well. We wish for our offspring to be successful and to do so we want to give them the gift of good health.
Health is visible from things we classify as good looks, so whenever someone complements your looks they complement your health. (mate selection)

So we know we are in love when we voice the fact that we wish to live with the individual and it is met with the other. We tend to put the words in a facade; however, and instead say "I love you"


Extra: I know many will have questions about how the above pertains to Gays and Lesbians. With the new option of adoption, we can now provide a good environment for success without the need to pass on genetic traits so the will to mate is void; however, the need for shelter (more so than just a house, emotional shelter as well) is still there. I wont get to much in depth to my Gay and Lesbian theory but it isn't biased off of "gender confusion" theory.
....please note before you rant, I was adopted and my parents are XX, XY (male and female).

I knew because when i first saw her I looked at her differently than I have any other girl before. By no means was she all dressed up or even the most attractive girl ive ever seen but when i first looked at her it was almost like seeing something you havent seen in years and you forgot it exhisted.. sounds corny but thats about the best way i can describe it

hmm ..

well , you know when you are in love when you ...

- think about just them all the time
- when you see them , its like you and them are the only two people in the world
- if you kiss them , you see fireworks
- and , last , but not least , you doodle their name , or , make their name as your password on Yahoo ! , Twitter , Facebook , OR Myspace . lol

When I'm in love...

She's the first thing I think about in the morning when I wake up, and the last thing I think about before I fall asleep.

I want to be her support, her confidence, and her strength. I want to be her protector, her lover, her sanctuary from the world, and her friend. I want to be with her, share things with her, make love to her for hours. I want to fight for her, struggle with her, shed tears and reminisce about good times.

When these feelings are there, I know that I'm in love.

I believe when you're truly in love is when you don't have to wonder anymore if you are! You just KNOW you are because of the feeling of unconditional love takes over & you know he/she IS "the one". You KNOW you want to share your life with this person. Gone is the feeling of "guess work" & it's all replaced with that of "knowing" without a shadow of a doubt...:)

when you stat humping your bed. lol

When it's over.

when reality is better than your dreams

I feel.......weird like.....uhhhh I have to be close to them XD

- You always think of them.
-They make you FEEL loved
-You trust them with all of your heart
-You fall asleep thinking of them.
-You're heart skips a beat when you see them.
-When you're phone rings, you hope it's them.
__________________________
Love is giving someone the power to ruin your live and make you feel miserable,
yet they don't.
THAT'S LOVE.

You know you're in love when you wake up in the morning and that person is the first thing that pops into your mind. When you can be your self in front of this person ,when you completely and 100% trust the person. when you know that nothing or no one can keep you guys apart. When this person smiles, it gives you butterflies and all you want to do is spend every moment with this person. when you look at this person and you know you want to be with them and spend the rest of your life with them . True love, the greatest feeling in the world.

You know your in love when...

- you're completely yourself around him/her
- you feel an almost physical pull towards them
- when you see him/her you feel good, they give you this extra feeling
- you might see someone else your attracted to, but you always come back to that one person
- you would be willing to give up a part of yourself for their sake
- :]
- physically attracted to them
-you want to make them happy and he/she makes you happy
so happy...


haha you can't even explain it

When you're in love, it's like a feeling you've known someone forever, even if you have just met them.
You'll feel happy whenever you see them smile, sad if you see them cry. It's like sharing a mind.
There would never be a dull time between you and your special someone, just them being in your presence makes it an exciting and fun time.
You could NEVER see any flaw in them, regardless of what others say!
You may get butterflies in your stomach around them, but it's those happy ones, not the scared ones
There's no secrets between you two
You can always act yourself around them and never feel the need to change yourself
You'll just have that feeling in you where you know "This is meant to be"[:
No matter what else you think, they're ALWAYS on your mind and in your dreams
A saying is we have two of everything, but only one heart because the other is in someone else and we need to find it.
:]<3 Love

For everyone its different and when you know, you know... for me i just cant stop thinking about that person and i always want to be around them and the thought of never seeing them again is soo scary its untrue. Then the cant eat cant sleep stuff comes. Lack of concentration and so on. When your in love all you want to do is spend time with that person. Butterflys when you think or talk to them and so on. Love feels alot different then just liking some one or puppy love....When its real, you just know and nothing else matters and everything thats bad in your life slowley dissapears.....then you get with them, enjoy the honeymoon period and then everything goes **** up..... woo, then the hardtimes start and so does the arguin but in the end it dosent matter because you rather spend every day arguing with that person then never see them again.....thats just what love is.....

When you realize thatyou would die for that person, and decide you want to spend the rest of your life with them.

-You smile every time you see them
-If you are down when you talk to them they make you really happy
-You don't get nervous start sweating or clumsy if you feel comfertable then you wouldn't
-You feel that you can't live without them
-You can't go a day without talking about them
-You know it in your heart!
Gosh, I am in love! :)

wen i fell in love i couldnt sleep..reality was better than my dreams i didnt want to do anything but talk to him and be with him i didnt even notice if he was hot because to me his heart was the most beautiful thing id ever seen

1. When you hide no secrets from each other .
2. When you're a mess and he still says you're beautiful.
3. When you still get butterflies in your stomach around them.
4. Yet, you feel totally comfortable with them.
5. When you ask him if a shirt makes you look fat, and he says, "No, babe, you look stunning."
6. When they come over just seconds after you text them that you're sad, mad, or angry.
7. When they stay on the phone with you even though you fell asleep.
8. When you hug them tight and they say, "Babe, I can feel you're heartbeat." and you blush.
9. When you never get sick of them.
10. When they would still love you when you're 80 and wrinkly.
11. When you blow a kiss goodbye, and they grab it and put it in their pocket.
12. When you are at a restaurant, and the little old couple comes up and tells you that he's a keeper, and you can tell he's in love by the way he looks at you.

you can completely be yourself with them. you can tell them everything and anything and trust them with it. they would NEVER hurt you intentionally. same for you

I knew I was going to fall in love when he first spoke to me. I knew I was in love when he kissed me.

When you have a crush, or at least when I did, I get really nervous, I can't talk (literally), I can barely think, and when I could, the only thing I could think of was how amazing he was.
When you have a really good friend that's a crush - when I did - I would say the most stupid things around him, and he didn't care. I spent some nights thinking about him. Especially when he broke my heart. The same feelings came as mentioned in the first paragraph. I also got feelings of wanting to touch his hand.
When you really fall in love, you feel so comfortable around this person, you can laugh with him, he can laugh with you, and you won't feel embarrassed. You'll comfort him when he cries - he'll feel comfortable enough to cry in front of you. You'll feel comfortable enough to cry in front of him.

It's the feeling of wholeness. you feel complete when your with that certain person. It is when you are willing to do anything for the person you love. You will sacrifice, adjust, commit,and compromise.

Its when you experience something like this; You're sitting down at work (in yahoo answers ha) and you think about your love. You take a deep breath and feel how your heart is ready to burst, it feels like it doesn't fit inside your chest, you're overwhelmed with a feeling of greatness and you figure out how even when you're so descriptive you don't come close to describing how love feels.

Love is when you can see the good and bad about somebody and accept BOTH! You know that those things that may drive you nuts are also the things that would make you miss that person even more. It's about being comfortable with who that person is and loving everything about them.

•You can act totally yourself no matter how weird you may be acting
•You laugh at all their jokes
•You can't stop thinking about them no matte how hard you try
•The nervousness goes away and you just feel on top of the world when you're with them

its when you feel like you can be your self by that person, and know that they'll be there for you forever and always! <3

When you can't stop thinking about the person and you feel completely comfortable around them yet still get butterflies any time you're with them.

- When you feel like your floating in air
- When you can tell each other EVERYTHING
- When you feel happy all the time
- When you feel that you can take on the world and everything in it with that special someone by your side
- When nothing can spoil your mood
- When you feel giddy all the time
- When you feel that everything is just right

You can feel something in your heart.

i knew i loved my boyfriend almost immediately after we met. although i am a very prideful girl, he has a way with me; the way no guy ever has. i know we'll be together forever.

they become like the air that you breath you can't imagine your life without them
they make you feel happy and around them you feel safe and loved
you feel your heart beating so fast when u are around them
they become everything in ur life and you dont care about anything else and u just want to be with them forever

Não penso em outra coisa.. mas já faz tempo que isso naum acontece.

It can only be happened when Im really in love-
I can never hide who I really or pretend something to him,
I can not stop thinking about him wherever I am and whatever I am doing,
And what I feel when thinking about him is only one word- Happiness.

(Btw, I love you my captain!)

Love is different for everyone.

i get an over whelming sense of inner peace and the feeling that all is right . there's a sense of security knowing that another person cares for you just as much. i think when you can read the others mind without saying anything is key to the relationship.

When the welfare of the other person means more to you than your own. Like her life means more to you than your own.

When ever there the first thing you think of when you wake up and the last thing you think of when you go to sleep, When ever you check your phone to see if she texted or called you back. When ever seeing the person you love make you happy really happy.

How can you actually describe if you know your in love. First comes lust, then intense lust, who knows what to call what comes after

haha this is a good question i believe when your truly in love you start to put that persons priorities before you owns, when you feel you can tell that person anything without any regret or remorse, and when you can completely be yourself around that person.

you just know...its a great feeling...you know your in love when it doesn't matter what you say or do...you dont need to impress them anymore you get to be yourself...you just feel happy whenever your around then...or if your having a bad day and if they walk into the room you forget what mad the day so bad because they are there. LOVE is such a great thing but dont fall too fast enjoy it and be happy. love is so much more than what was just said it's such a great thing!!

you get this good feeling inside and know that this is someone you really care about.

When i get in love i have butterfly's but everyone is different and some get clumsy i also get clumsy and super nervous

you see no one but that one person
you stare them down randomly
you try to get noticed by them
whenever you see them your thoughts fade away
like the Wendy's saying; WHEN ITS REAL.. YOU KNOW IT

I guess when you're able to show unconditional affection and love to that person.

yes all of the above

love comes so naturally, you just feel it...

You know you are in love when you are intelligent enough to know what it means to be in love, by being willing to sacrifice yourself for another person.
All too often, we think we are in love, when in reality we just enjoy someone caring about us. We become infatuated with that person who thinks they 'love' us. Being in love is being able to control your own desires (drive for sex) because you don't want to rush the relationship further then it should go. It's enjoying the company and conversation, more then the making out and flirting. It's being able to rely, trust, be commited, and faithful towards one another.
The idea that you can love someone without even knowing them isn't love but it's infatuation with the expectations you have already placed on the person for which you want to love someday but have settled for the person standing in front of you.

you get excited when you know he is on his way. you want to spend all your time with only him. when you can smile, joke and not get your feelings hurt. When it comes down to it ,its not who you can or can't live with its who you can't live without!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think I have ever been in love. But when I do fall in love, I want it to be so evident in my smile, my everday activities, my attitude, that there will be no guessing. I want people to look at me and say, now that girl is in love. I want something that knocks me off my feet.

-When you find yourself caring & standing up for him
-thinking about him a lot
-when your texting him everyday
-when he complements you & you do the same back
-getting him something special, and making him happy

Right now im in love :) What i think about when im around him is just to act normal, and be myself! Talk to him like you would with any other person, and try not to make things awkward

You feel butterflies and your stomach, you dream about them and you have fun and feel really happy around them.

when someone is in your thoughts all the time, when they mean a lot to you, when you're happy just to see or hear or feel them. And when you smile when you're with them when there's no logical reason why :)

When you realize that you want to share your life with that person.
When love is not just a word but shown through actions.
When your head tells your one thing but your heart overrules.
When you sacrifice and trust for this person.
When you are drawn to them like a magnet.
When you will want to work it out no matter what after fights and wont give up on each other.
When Sex is not just sex but its something spiritual between two souls that love each other.

Love is unconditional, like a parent loves their child.
I feel this way for my husband. Although times aren't always perfect, I know I will always care for him, love him as a best friend and a soul mate.

-You cant live without them
-You cant go to sleep because for once reality is better than your dreams<3
-You get butterflies when you hold hands.
-The only person on your mind is him/her.
-When its hard to let them go.
-When all the love songs you listen to only remind you of him<3
-When all the love quotes you read only remind you of him<3
-Your Happy
Dont worry you will know what love is when you feel it (:

I don't know but usually I space out in class. Whenever I eat with friends I imagine I'm on a date with him. But I definitely know that I'm in love when I'm denying it completely or pushing the accusation to one of my friends... like I pretend to be a matchmaker when the truth is I AM the one who loves him. GAH.

Love is an ACTION. Not a feeling.

Simple. How do you know if you're in love? When you don't have to ask yourself this question.

He makes me smile more than ever before.
hen we fight he just makes that face and we both burst out laughing,
When I would sacrifice everything to be with him for 5 minutes.
He makes me feel like everything in the whole world could be going completely wrong and as long as he's beside me it doesn't even matter.
I miss him whenever we've been apart for more than maybe an hour.
When even before we got together we were in love and dreamed of each other every night for 2 years and 7 months of not speaking to each other.

That's how I know.

HERE'S THE FIVE SIGNS YOUR TOTALLY IN LOVE:

1. if you think him/her all day
2. you get excited to see him/her.
3. you do your best to make him/her proud of you.
4. you can change your self just for him/her
5. you get a bit jealous when you see him/her having fun or talking to another cute girl or hot guy.

- when you wake up thinking about them.
- when the best memory you have with them is just laying down talking.
- when you suddenly forgot how to have a conversation when they talk to you.
- when they look beautiful to you no matter how early it is or what they are wearing.
- and when you go to bed and are still thinking about them.

I've only fallen in love once. It was instant attraction for this person at first sight. When we had a change to meet it was an air of familiarity, like we had know each other for years. Its easy to be with this person and you can completely be yourself around them. When I was with this person I felt like there is nothing I wouldn't do for him and he felt the same.It was an odd feeling because our relationship only lasted a summer but it was my first brush with love. It was selfless and all consuming...

I've currently experienced this brush again with a guy I met recently and it seems to have taken a life of its own. And its crazy to know this person feel the same way and energy...I can not deny the passion in both these situations and I can say this is what love feels like for me..

When they are the only person who is on your mind, and when you're with them you wish the moment would last forever. You can't imagine your life without them. They are your all day, every day, favorite thing. When you're not with them, the world feels dark and gray. The words they said mean more than anything said by anyone else could ever possibly effect you. It's just a flat out amazing feeling.

You don't see anything except them when they're near, you feel kinda nervous at first, you plan out what you are going to tell them next day, you think about them all the time, you remember them when u think of the word "love", u keep a goofy smile on ur face when u realize that, u talk about them all the time to ur cloeset friend till they're bored, u picture urself with them ten years later, u dance around the room cuz u both did something great together, u still love them if u pictured them fat/without makeup etc., u feel u really care about them, u may write songs about them, u feel an everlasting bond with them, u feel that ur meant to be together, u wanna be with them forever and always.

You never stop thinking about that special person and wish u could be with them all the time.

When your in love with you get super nervous, you get sweaty, everytime you kiss them it feels as though you've just gone over a bump in the car really fast, it gives you butterflies. When you see them you can't take your eyes off them, they make you happy no matter what, you can't help but smile and laugh when your with them, if your a girl you go all girly giggle bubbly and try to be super cute. You obviously go out of your way to look super nice.


Answer mine, please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110219060608AAOvstd

you will know when you are in it, without a doubt

When you hold your fart for the entire date but you think she is cute when she farts. When you wont let yourself eat anything spicy or gassy the day before the date.

I get a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Like when your about to give a speech in front of 1000 people and there is enormous pressure. But it happens every time you think about them.

Really i don't know what love is yet, a lot of people don't, it just depends on the person. No one can tell you what love feels like it comes from your soul. Also everyone knows how to love, what they don't know is how to be "in" love, just realize if someone says that love is "this" and "that" that's not specifically true You feel what you want to feel.

Usually my penis stiffens up a little bit. I sometimes get a bit flushed too and my sense of reasoning decreases. If the girl that I am in love with touches me (sexually), then my penis becomes very hard and my heart beats very fast. When the girl that I am in love with allows me to enter her (sexually), then I have an extremely intense feeling of euphoria for approximately 5 seconds. When I exit the girl (again, sexually), I feel very calm and relaxed and usually feel a craving for cigarettes.

If you're in love, you just know, without a doubt.

You just know. If you have to ask, you aren't.

When you can't stop thinking about someone and your heartbeat beats faster and feel like your soul is on fire

We know when we're in love after we feel such things that
*Without them your world will end
*They're our first and last
*You can't do without them even for a micro second
*You can give up anything in life for them and even your life
*You compromise for them
*You can wait for them your entire life
*No one can ever replace their place because they are your world and they're the best for you.
*When you need to share your happiness you know you have them and they wont be jealous but happy when you share your stuff with them and when you're sad they will always be there for you and their shoulder to cry on...
*And that there is a person who loves you they way you're with your all your flaws and can do anything for you... <3

When their happiness is essential to your happiness.

You know you're in love when no matter how far away that person is or how long you've been apart, you still wake up everyday and they're the only person that's on your mind.

I'm newly separated and forgive me for being the scrooge, but I felt a lot of these things. We had all the beautiful things and somehow it faded away. Right now I'm trying not to gag, ready these answers.

I can say that Love means having the grace of letting go of the little imperfections in your partner. That you should treat them with more sweetness and respect than your boss, your friends, or even the president. That despite how busy your lives get, that you make time for one another. I hope some of you all find that.

Sweating, nervous and clumsy is lust.

Love is kindness, gentleness, can't wait to see that person, and O' how that person makes you feel when you are around him/her. Wanting to explore things together, helping one another, can't live without that person. That's Love!

Because I want to be with him every moment of every day for the rest of my life, and i have for a very, very long time.

Because when I'm not with him, my heart physically hurts, and i scream inside my head, wishing i was with him. But when i see him my heart melts, and i completely forget about how upset i was without him, and forget everything bad in the world. The world becomes fair and peaceful when i'm with him.

Because when i look into his eyes, i see pure love.

Because when he's happy, I'm happy. My goal in life is to make him happy.

Because i know i would sacrifice anything and everything for him.

Because he's constantly on my mind. I must say his name 1,000,000 times a day in my head. Even when i'm not concentrating on him, he's still in the back of my mind.

Because i love him more than i ever thought i could love anyone.


But most of all, because I know he feels the same way about me.

When you're in love... It's as if no other person could matter in that way. You see past their imperfections and realize that that is what makes them who they are. When they look into your eyes, you get lost and instead of getting butterflies in your stomach... It is more like giant bats flying around and swooping down and through your entire stomach. Your heart races and any "normal" moment with them is turned into some extraordinary moment simply because you are with them and they make everything better. When you're in love... that person is and will be the best thing that has happened to you and you wouldn't change a thing... you wouldn't change who they were... for a thing.

When the thought of a certain person always pops into your head. You know you're in love when you cannot see their flaws, because you love everything about them. Every time you see them, you can't help but smile. Every word and action they say or do have an affect on you. Your heart beats faster and you forget all your troubles by just seeing them smile.

you just know

It's something you just have to feel, when that person is someone you can't live without, then you're in love.

When you daydream about a person. If you have a physical reaction to their presence. When you find yourself wondering what that person would think of you before doing things. That's love.

They say that the people you hate, not jerks who annoy you but rather those people who you really hate, you hate because you see things in them that you hate about yourself. Their existence really bothers you because they advertise what you see as flaws in yourself to the world. You don't really care about them, the person you're hating is yourself, which is why hate is such a destructive attitude.

I say that the very opposite is true of who you love. If you see a person and they make you want to be a better person, then you're in love. If you look at them and see what you love about yourself, or what you wish you were, then you're in love. Which is why we cherish love, it's the possibility of change. If you cherish a person, and if you see the good in yourself in them, then you're in love.

I knew I was in love when I felt it pleasured me more than her while I did things for her.

You will know when you don't feel like you have to hide anything from that person. When you can see each other having the best and worst experiences of your life. When you can't stop smiling around them. Or when you have a big fight and can't stay mad at each other. When you see that person your feelings never change, that you know you will always truly love them. When that person takes you for you and doesn't care about what you wear, or what you look like but only care about your personality.

Your heart and time seem to slow down.
You don’t realize it but you are smiling.
You cannot get her (or him I guess if you are a girl…) off your mind.
All you want to do is make her smile and to be there for her when she needs you.
You will do anything for her.
It is caring about someone in such a deep way that you see beauty in what she considers her flaws.
You want to trust her even though you are afraid to.
You just want to be with her

Well *I* smile more and feel a little dizzy and I LOVE the smell of them, every love song reminds me of them, I love to see them, I find myself thinking of them all the time, I love to see them smile, I feel really jealous when they're with other girls, I'm really depressed when they say something even slightly negative but elated the whole day if they touch me or compliment me

I get nervous when I'm around them. I never know what to say. I try not to act really stupid, but I end up doing it anyway. I try to be myself, but I doubt I am. And I always think about the person. ALWAYS

You get the heebie geebies ?

When you don't know how it would feel not be in love, then you are in love.

Personally, I sweat, blush, am supoer nervous, clumsy and have butterflies flying over my head.. most of all i am the happiest girl in the world, don't even have to have him, just that I can feel such makes me feel forever young. I always try to enjoy when I fall in love, because everything else after it is just more difficult and reality can strick you bad if you sing out to loud. Nevertheless it is a enjoyable feeling that everyone should cherish. I don't fall in love often so.. that is how you know when you are in love, when you no longer now know how it goes without it... no matter where two of you are, it's there.. years after, it is still there, the same old feeling as yesterday was just the first day looking him and heart stop a brief and then a totally new beat hits it, just like a lightning.

My God. you have enough answers, shouldnt you know already?

when you cant stop thinking about her

You eat Cheese.
constantly.

When I can't wait til next Monday to go to school and see my crush, also I hate weekends...

youll know

I can just say you can tell your in love for a few reasons but all combined not just 1

1.you trust your partner and they trust you, if its questionable then you still gotta work on it and i mean full trust. that means you're not thinking things even in the back of your head. Thats how i am with my girlfriend right now.
2.You ask yourself seriously, Would i be with this person forever even if they told me we can never have sex? and the answer is yes but that you know it in your heart its true. Thats why i believe its a good idea to wait till marriage if you want to get to know someone for real.
3.You love the person even when you're mad for example me and my girlfriend get mad but make up very quick because we don't like to be mad at each other it doesn't feel good.and thats more important then taking out your anger on your partner. talk it out instead in a relaxing manner.
4.You don't enjoy to say rude jokes when you're partners not around for example married men saying they feel like prisoners, how do you think their wife would feel if they heard that. if you're in love you always wanna respect you're partner even when they're not around.
5.You always try to work arguments out because you want the relationship to work no matter who's fault it is.
6.You will forgive you're partner for anything as long as you can tell it was a mistake, because they do happen. When i say forgive i don't mean say its ok but always bring it back up i mean full forgiveness like you understand your partner wasn't thinking right it was a mistake and will never happen again, and you trust they will never do it again.
7.You and your partner have built a strong communication for example my partner is not just that she's also my best friend my everything with her i don't need no one else. that means when you're upset you don't go cry to someone else you tell your partner because you want the relationship to work out.
8.that spark that you guys have when you first got together if you want it to stay that way you have to work for it things aren't that way by themselves you got to keep that chemistry fun, enjoy life with your partner, relax, i want my relationship to always be fun with my girl thats why i try to not be in bad moods because that ruins it and she trys to and it works.
9.when your partner needs you you are always there for them, for example some romances die because some people are to focused on work trying to give their partner the good life, nice car, house, jewelry, cellphone, etc. when all you really need is enough to eat everyday.
10. would you be with your partner even if you both wore not financially stable, but both always trying, what if you two lost everything and had to live on the streets would you stay with them even if someone with money started trying to split you two apart.
11.You understand that when you are with that person it is about what both of you want not just one and how you're going to make it work, then you see that you need to really care about you're partner
12. you can admit you love them even in the eyes of god, and you always treat them nice.
this answer was brought to you by [[[Lil Flaco]]] I'm very serious about my answer.

when you know your in love your not asking this question -.-

lamo

When you KNOW you have unlocked the secrets of scientology, then you shall find love.

You're confident around them and not scared to talk to them.You're not scared to admit you love them.You smile every time you hear their name.You get really excited when you talk to them and maybe you wouldn't dare to look into their eyes.You feel empty when they don't talk to you.You'll desperately look around for him or her.You'll do anything for them even if it takes your life away.You become very happy when you found something similar with him or her.You'll treasure gift that he or her gave to you, even a very small gift.You can take a trip together and wish it would never end.You constantly want to be with him or her.You have understanding for one another and know when something is wrong, like something pressing on the mind of the other.You spend as much time as possible with each other, and don't want to be apart.You want to do anything to make them happy You get butterflies just hearing their name.You feel like you're flying when he/she holds your hand.You feel like you're in heaven when he/she kisses you.You think to yourself "If no one is perfect, I'd like to know what his/her imperfections are!"You don't care about the bad stuff about them.You think about them and dream about them but can't explain to anyone how badly you feel about them.You can't help but smile when you see him/her.You don't feel embarrassed around them.

you have a permanent bonar ololol

butterflies in my tummy!
i surely act in a clumsy way as well!
but the best part is when you feel that you want to share all your experience with that other half of yours, when you feel that something is missing when he's not around.. when you suddenly feel that you can't remember how your life was before you met him.... and that's the way i felt when i met my husband back in 2004, i was 17 and he was 22 and now we're happily married for almost 4 years now

I understood when he was praising a girl too much and i felt jealously;he did a mistake wid her and i felt bad;i wanted to give him everything of mine and didn't want anything from him;i wanted to see him happy and satisfied wid his life.

When u can be ur selph around them
u always think about them
u cant live with out them
u will die for them

Um... I'm confused, I watched episode 16 and this never happened.

All of the above.

When she is the first thing you think when you wake up and the last thing you think before falling asleep

your willing to do anything for them. even stand up to your parents.

My thingy grows bigger.

You know when your in love when...
You read their texts over and over again
You randomly smile when thinking about them
You start blushing and messing up your words
You stalk their Facebook:)
Laugh at everything they say
Thats when you know you're in love! <3 <3 <3

When your heart beats fast

when you would do anything for that person and cant stop thinking about them.

you just know :)

love isn't an emotion. it's a commitment.

I don't believe that people are actually in love. I recently read a book called "Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand and I agreed that being in love is both wanting to live for that person and not being able to live without them. There is a difference between being in love and loving someone.

You know when you're in love when someone asks that question your response is simply:
'You just know.'
There is no other way to describe it.

When it's over.

you just know.

when you get a *****

If you have to ask, you aren't.

when u get a bonner

Well, I already found the one I fell for in my business class back in college. It was a love at first sight, but thought he didn't feel the same way about me. He totally made me feel how it is to be in love. First three months although we were in the same group I didn't dare to talk to him. But finally I gathered some courage and asked him what was his major. Thats when his mouth really opened. The entire conversation went for 3 hours. I felt very shaky. I could not stand properly. But once the conversation was over, the love effect went in extreme.
-I couldn't drive. At the signal, the cars horned at me. It seemed I was not in my car, but floating in the air.
- For a while, I turned into a brainless creature and ended up hanging out in a Japanese store for no reason.
- I found myself smiling.
- I could not sleep. I felt as if I was injected some sort of drug in my veins. It just felt great.
- I also felt a rebirth kind of experience. It was simply telling me my waiting days were over and soon I was going to enter the heaven.

But suddenly this awkward thing happened in the class next day. We were told to sit together to work to do an activity which included building an enterprise. One group member became the manager while we all were turned into workers. I had to sit next to him for the first time in my life. His foot ended up touching mine by accident. That is where suddenly I chocked on my breath.

When finally we confessed our love to each other he said he felt all those love feelings for me also.
Now we are heading towards marriage.

This relationship taught me a lot. The true love equals to sacrifice, friendship, romance and healthy amount of forgiveness.

You can't stop thinking about them you think about the last time you saw them the next time you see them. You think about what life would be if you were together forever you make plans with them. They become your number 1 ! . You hope they text or ring you or message you on facebook or even "like" your status. You want them with you most the time ... love is a wonderful thing if its right at the time :)

what a gay question,

You will know. You won't know how, but you'll know. xx <3

When all you care about is their well-being and you'll do anything to see them live a genuinely happy life - no matter the cost. You won't abandon them in times of need, and will always remain faithfully and loyally at their side.

when you picture there smile every second of everyday when you cant stop laughing or smiling or crying because you miss them or because your thinking about a memory you has with them the other day or when you picture life ahead and all you can see is their face. when your holding them and their holding you, and you just start to cry because you don't wanna let go. when you cry tears of joy. when you ask them out on the top of a roller coaster full of anxiety and hold their hand and wanna cry so bad on the way down not because your scared but because they said yes. when you look into their eyes and never wanna look away. when you can do nothing but wanna please them and make them happy. when you look at them for the first time and wanna tell them "i love you" right there, because before even speaking the first words you just know its love, when you didn't like them before but when you realized how much they care about you and just know that it's too perfect to be real. when you run as fast as you can to jump up and give them the biggest hug, but you seen them and hour ago. when your being dropped off and you both count the kisses and just keep kissing but neither of you wanna stop cause what if tomorrow never comes? when you'll go to any risk to make them happy, to see them smile such a beautiful smile, to see them, to love them, when you'll go to any risk just to spend 5 seconds together. when you skip out important things because nothings more important than seeing them. love is any warm feeling you get inside for a special person. love is talking, spending time with each other, sharing, faithfulness, being BEST friends! that's one of the best ones! love is looking in the same direction, love is getting along, seeing things through each others eyes. love is that special person. LOVE is what I HAVE =)

shut up nobody cares

When she tells me.

i havent experienced it yet but i think you dont notice it exactly when you fell in love .
you come to know about it when someone asks you if you are in love or not with anyone then you think for a while and then find out that something has changed in you .

You first start to get really nervous to be around that person, but you know that you have to be with him/her. There really isn't much to it; fate will decide for you. You'll definitely know when you are

It's when I blush uncontrollably, smile crazily. I always fall for people who don't know who I am. . .

London all dayyy eryyyy dayyyyy

My shirt has no writing on it.

You just feel it down there. (You know what I mean)

love is sort of a feeling, a good feeling, that one feels and its a feeling that you wouldn't want to go away. for me, personally, i know when I'm in love when i cannot wait to see the person and theres this glowy hazy feeling I get, kind of like gettng out of a hot steamy shower; you feel refreshed and revived.

And I figured out the whole "be a gentleman" thing too. This whole "be a gentleman" thing is BS. I realized that I wanted to hold her hand because it made her feel safer. I wanted her to walk on the inside of the sidewalk and away from the cars when crossing the street because I didn't want to take any risks with this beautiful, precious gem of a girl. So when she told me that I was being a gentleman, I realized that I wasn't trying to be...I just cared about her and did what I guess girls consider to be "gentlemanly".
Aaaand, I also noticed that I wasn't clumsy at all. Quite the opposite. I felt really strong and confident when she is next to me...like Superman or something.

you know when you are in love when you always blush around him
you know when you are in love when you feel different around him

Well love is a strong word. You know when you love someone when they are on your mind 24/7

You feel it

You let that person hurt you over and over again

When you're in love everything in the world seems in place. The sky seems more blue and the sun seems brighter. When you look into their eyes you get lost and feel what they feel, you feel their pain, their love, and their hope.

When you see them your whole life lights up, you feel your heart pound and your skin tingle.

You may not think every part of them is perfect but you except their flaws, you embrace their flaws.

I get super protective and want to live w that person. I never plan to let them go even if they said something wrong. I pull back for awhile but i want to make sure he will know its not forever if i leave?

you get butterflies you dont sleep you dont focus well you think of him 24/7 and every romantic song you here makes you think of him

You know when you know

You know you are in love when you look forward to being with that person and only with that person forever. :)

It just happen .... everything will change day by day .

crying at nights

Just dance in the air.

What Jenny said! :p

When you started to care about him or her, when u feel nervous when u talk to him or her, when you feel a bit jealous when other people stays with him or her

Falling in Love is a very special thing. And there are a lot of symptoms if you are truly in Love. 1.whenever you see that person you barely speak or talk gibberish. 2.you can't wait to that to that person. 3.you can't resist staring at them. these are a few symptoms

you are always panicked, trying to be with that person as much as posible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNq9i4HLj1g

I always thought I was love before but I truly know what it feels like now..totally blissful and euphoric

When you really care about this person and your committed to each other

She lets you stick it in the rear, and fire one off

You know when you are in love with someone if whenever you are near them, you get nervous or you start to feel sweaty. Usually when you are in love with someone, you stare into there eyes when they talk. When your in love, then you feel different around them if you are around regular people, such as your mom and dad. I hope I helped!
-Hope

You know your in love when there in your mind at all time and you even dream about them and you.
Plus you can only put a name on love, you cant tell what love is but instead can tell who love is.

Sometimes you wouldn't even know your in love till you loose that person (happened to Many people). Thinking that your in love is not always true- you may be in love with another and not know. Love is very different and difficult love may not always show at first sight and sometimes when you are in love you may not have butterflies as in some loves there are jealousies or you just look at then and freeze and forget about yourself

if youre asking this question then you are probably not in love. you will know. love is unconditional not to be confused with infatuation

I hope we stay together forever n forever !!!!!

Isn't it when you can't stop thing about a person

answerm ine

u just do
anwerm ine

when you continuously spend a lot of time with the person and get to know very well. :)

Feeling, when I leave him, when I trust him.

Love is something you FEEL with no other explanation :)

The pain you feel
When it&#x27;s over

love love love ...

hahaha lol swagbro

You only have eyes and the desire for one person

Goodness the response is enormous. I don't know. Love is tricky or whatever it is.

I get that funny feeling in my stomach, im thinking about them 24/7, i dream about them every night?

When you see them, you start smiling like an idiot
You can't sleep at night thinking of them
You wait for their calls
urge to see their smile [:

Yea, you're in love

your heart flips (: i love that feeling...
also if you go completely head over heels... ;P

When all the songs make sense. I feel like every time I turn on the radio now I can relate to every love song =) Its nice.

-when he/she is all you think about
-when all you wanna do is be with them
-when you see them, your heart races and you feel like you're on a roller coaster
-if you are in love and are reading this, you're thinking about them right now... and are smiling :)

when no matter what you're doing or who you are with, if you think it would be better if that certain person was there you are in love. Also when your favorite thing to do is just to be with that person, no matter what you are doing.

To me, being in love isn't butterflies and heart racing...that is infatuation. Being in love means
- You want them and nobody else
- You love them and their imperfections don't matter, you just love all of them
- You care intensely about their feelings and how they are
- You feel at ease when you're with them: hugging, cuddling
- You trust them and can talk about anything with them
- You love being with them.

when u cant see youreself with anyother person, when u get those butterflys, when ur life is an open book to them and they still love u, when youre willing to swim a mile change whatever u need to to be able to make succsesful relationship with them

-When just the thought of that person makes you smile(:

you think first of him, in other words, you don't expect anything in return. For instance, the guy I like (well, love) is in love with another girl. I'm not jealous, but rather overjoyed for him because I know he deserves it.

You can feel it "straight through your heart"-easy as that.

i daydream all the time. and want to talk to him for hours. i get childish for the likeness to be sweet baby-talked :))

Simple (:.
No matter what gender, you feel like kicking some SERIOUS *** when your beloved comes crying, because of someone.
You always want to be there for them.
Your heart takes a bungee jump when you see her/him.
You can't stop smiling when she/his hand is in yours and you are walking around the school/downtown/etc.
You feel like you can drop anything in this world for her or him.
(-:
*sigh*
love..~

When you knew what you had before you lost her, even if 11 months have gone by.. its been a beautiful 2 years woopzie

you know when you're in love when the person you're in love with isn't around, it's like the whole world is empty, and you're just missing and missing and missing that person . it's like you just can't be without them . and when you are with that person it's just like your heart smiles (: and you're so happy . you blush, you get butterflies, and when you kiss, it probably feels like you fell in love all over again . love is so beautiful , but soon my day will come to feel what actual lovers feel .

Happy Belated Valentine's Day ! (:
<3

I don't know I think love is afraid me because I've never had it!

- You think about them all the time
- You get butterflies even when their not their
-You started smiling when someone says their name
-You're heart beat 1000x a sec when they walk towards you

You get the feeling in your stomach, you always think about the person and when you do they put a smile to your face.

i reely like a girl name mishell every time i see her i keep smiling at her and she turned away

do you start sweating - yes
do you get super nervous - yes
are you clumsy - yes

in my opinion you know youre in love when someone can ask you if you are in love and you dont even have to think about it you just respond yes:)

if you are i love you go to that person often for many things afterwards right when you sit close to him you will experience an extermly confusing feeling in you.you often talk to him ,blush when he touches you somewhere,sweating,breathing quickly in his presence are all facts tay show that you are in love with the person.you want to dress so hot etc just for that individua

I know I'm in love when the person really GETS me. When they won't reject anything that I have to say. When they aren't afraid to be seen with crazy, clumsy, 'out there', me.

- you can be yourself around them
- just thinking about them makes you smile
-missing them even if you just saw them
-when you hold hands
-by kissing them and you dont wanna stop
- not wanting to ever leave their side

I know that.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/answer?qid=20110216114916AA9jaci

I light up like a Christmas tree when he looks at me.
His eyes can see my soul.
And he gets excited about everything I do.
He respects/supports me
We calm each other when life throws rocks.
He appreciates all my gifts.
We laugh together.
We admire & understand each other.
He forgives my stupidity and I can't stay mad at him.
When I say "don't call me again", he says, "stop that!"

And lastly:

His Perfect Kiss.

I miss you, Michael ♥

YOur always thinking about the person.
You stuck when you are talking to them.
Your always trying to make them laugh/without doing anything stupid of course!
And you got that feeling every time you approach them.
You just like every thing about him/her :))

When you know that you can be yourself around that person and know they are the one for you

You know you're in love when...
-You can act YOURSELF around them and not have to change how you act
-You can't go a minute without thinking of them
-You go out of your way to make them happy
-You miss them the second they leave
-When you are with them they are all that matters

When i can feel relaxed and like a little kid again, like no one else is there, like the only thing that maters is what your doing right then and that you dont want the moment to end.

It's different for everyone!
I think that's why no-one can speak for everyone with their personal definition.
It's just that indescribable something (without sounding too cheesy!).
For me? It's the feeling of looking at that one person and not being able to imagine life without them.

That's just me! :)

When you automatically care for the person you like and you have this feeling in your heart that you can only feel when your with that person after 2 weeks of just hanging out as friends or maybe a week.YOu should feel really different and good for this person that you actually want to do stuff for this person like you want to help your partner with studies or help him or her clean the house because you want to spend more time with them because you can love them with out knowing you do. Follow your hear .It will lend you to whats right which can lend you to happinesss.

when the relationship isn't consisting of meaningless sex and kissing.

when I am inlove, I think about that person everyday at night. When I am around him, I got a little nervous and happy at the same time.

I think when ur in love u can't describe what u love about ur guy.. U just love everything about him!

Its when if you do something stupid with that person, you know you won't regret the risk that you took, no matter the outcome. When they mean the world to you, always on your mind and that little smile creeps onto your face once you think about the other person. Its nervous and excitement and the butterflies in your tummy all jumbled up. When you're with them you cherish every moment, feel comfortable around them and wish the moment would last forever. Its difficult to explain but theres no other feeling like it :)

basically when it just feels right and you rather fight and argue w them instead of being w someone else. when they say on ur mind,

all you think about is that one special person, the only place you want to be is where they are. they become your world...

When all you ever think about is HIM/HER. You wish you can see him/her every minute of the day. When you give someone the ability to hurt you, but trusting them not to.. When you're happy, and there's trust, and communication... Love is wishing that you can just push away his/her problems and let them be happy..

when you know it could last forever and you can be your complete self and are always happy with that person

•When you can trust them and imagine yourself with them forever.
•When you stand up for them.
•You are clumsy and don't seem to notice anything when you are with them.
•When you guys kiss, you feel tingly and never want to pull away.
•& if you really love that person you would die for them.
Thats what I think love is:)

You can't miss it! It's a feeling you've never felt before & may not be able to explain.

when i wake up his the first person i think of and the last when i go to sleep. during the day i can't wait to hear from him i look at my phone a thousand times and i would just start day dreaming of him so how do i know when im in love with a guy is when we kiss and that kiss makes me get butterflies in my tummy, makes my toes curl and makes me smile until i see him again and there is nothing that can make me angry at that time that's when i know im in love!

Unconditional love.
caring for a person even if they treat you like crap sometimes.
there is a girl I love and no matter how she is to me I will never be cruel back.
Just wish she felt the same way!

If you're a guy, it's when you pop a bonar.

If you're a girl, its when you get moist/wet.

In love.. That's when the heart hurts. When one would do anything for that significant other while the latter wouldn't even care because he's too busy with someone else. That's being in love. It hurts.

You'd in love with someone if you would die if you couldn't have the girl/boy.

All your friends tell you she isn't right for you! Love is blind, only when it's you feeling it.
Love is a 4 letter word.
You don't do anything for yourself anymore.
It's more of an animal instinct causing you not to think.
