No, you won't. Ask yourself: If this person lost all of their limbs in a horrific car accident, growing fat and soggy every day and having NO way of taking care of him/her self, would you stay with them FOR EVER? If you can answer yes in under a half a second, then you're in love.

Many people think that you should only love those whom you have judged worthy of it.
This is not love at all, it is only judgment.
Jesus asked that we love our neighbor. There is no except for in this directive. He asks us to apply our love in a nonjudgmental way universally to all of creation.
This confuses many because it seems as though he was telling us it is wrong to love those closest to us with the special love we feel for them. This is not what he is saying to us at all. He is asking us to love everyone with the same love that we have been saving for those closest to us. What are you holding back for, its love you have and endless supply there is no shortage. Love and blessings

Depends on what you mean by being in love.
Easier to ask if you love someone (you can never really be sure if how another person feels).
Contrast to love someone with having a crush on them.
When you have a crush on someone, you want them, you want them you be yours, you want them to spend time with you.
When you love someone, you want them to be happy, even if it means that you can't be with them.

When your concern for the other persons well being is as great as your concern for yourself. When you are willing to accept the person completely and not try to remodel them. When you are willing to sacrifice, not always get your own way and work together towards your common life goals.

It is undefinable. It is a feeling and a state of being like no other. When you are in love, you will know it, and you will show it.

I think it means that you care enough about another person that their happiness is all that matters to you.
