There is no real answer to this question but what I have learned of what love is to me is...
(L)isten: and Validate them by hearing and empathizing.
(O)verlook: their minor character flaws as they will overlook yours.
(V)alue: who they are and what they mean to you.
(E)xpress: how you love them not just with words but with actions.

yes it does but it is hard to find. people say you know you are in love at the very begining. That is not true. Its all about the small things like saying shes special or saying something that is meaningful and not a pick up line. You are not to young to be in love. I am 12 and have been in love. Loveis also a realashionship that is content with out sex but just with eachother. It's hard to find and i think you confused love with lust.

Okay, boo, can i call you boo? But, love is a feeling towards the opposite sex, or the same if your into DAT! But, yes true love exist, but in order to find it, you have to find that right person. If you don't truly think you are in love with some1, don't bother messing with them. If you tend to think about her often then you may be in love, but if your feelings go away when you see someone else, it may not be love at all.

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

Son, when it is real you will know it. There is nothing like it and it can not be faked. I know because I have been in love with the same woman for 48 years. And completely faithful I might add.
