honestly you never really know it is love until your celebrating your golden anniversary i havent made it there yet but i keep trying..i think you truly have to get to know someone inside and out before you can determine the L word..love takes time and it grows not dims and then dies...

Infactuation happens a lot. That's why it's always good to wait for at least a year after meeting someone before you commit to marriage. Did you know that you never stop falling in love? You could be with a person for quite a while then see someone knew and fall in love on the spot. What makes a lasting relationship then? When you look at someone and say to yourself, "I may meet others that can infactuate me but this person is "My Choice". You make your choice and that's it. From then on when someone else trips your trigger you say, wow that's a hottie! but your heart stays loyal and attached to the person you love because you made the decision, That's how you know it's love and that's how you can know you are not wrong. Because if you have never met that person you can decide on then it's playing the field plain and simple. Love is loyalty on both sides.

Love is not only a feeling, it is a behavior.
Being "in love" involves a feeling of passion, a sense of warmth and compatability, and committment.
You really can't know if you don't know! Give yourself time to get to know the person and develop a friendship. Find activities that you enjoy together and build a bond. From there, you can decide whether there is enough trust, respect, and mutual interest in a relationship.
Love is a very strong word. Maybe you are "in like." Don't pressure yourself to know something before you do. Just focus on being a friend to the person and on being yourself.

There's no real way to know if it's love, but I guess the best way you can describe it is : You are in love when your partner is your best friend and you are sexualy attracted to him/her
Think
- Do you think of him first thing in the morning, and last thing at night
- Do you treat each other fairly
- Do you feel comfortable around him, like you can do anything
- Would you sacrifice a few things for your partner
- Does he make you want to be a better person
- Do you smile automaticaly everytime you think about him
Think about clues such as these
Sometimes you think you love someone, but when you meet someone else you realise you didn't like them that much after all... but I beleive that once you find that one person you will just know that it is love, and this time it is love for sure.

If you have to ask that question, you don't love them. There is a fine line between lust and love. If you think you loved before and you were wrong and you have the same feelings now, that's lust.
When you find love, you will know.

When I separate the person from who they are, i.e. a body part, that person has an incredible bottom, or they are hot, I am separating the person from who they are to how they appear/look. I am also idealizing who they are based on the objectification of their body, i.e., because that person is hot, I would like to get to know them, or somehow they are appealing emotionally mentally because they are hot. As I am objectifying, lust shows itself in fantasy. What would I like, what would I like to do with and to them. So I would say when the idealized picture of this person is replaced with reality, IE., who they really are. You can accept and be willing to see past faults, issues, problems because Love carries no jealousy, love doesn't judge, love don't do anything for self gratitude, love gives unconditionally, love is trust, love is respect, love is truth!

u know that's it's love when you feel that his the one that you can be around and talk to as a best friend and you smile every time you see him or hears his voice. That's love. And it's not base on the things he buys either. The comfort and good company he gives. The way he touches you give you the chills and treats you with respect and honesty (good sex(lol))which is the key to a good relationship and then that's love.

Love occurs in so many different ways. You may love 1 individual because of their personality, another because of their physical appearance, and another because of the way you are treated. You just have to be mature enough to find the right person that want the same goals in life that you have. Someone you believe can make you happy long-term instead of short-term.
