Question

in my life,i never know the meaning of love but i always have one stronge feeling for opposit sex and lack of courage to express myself to them but i hope it is not attraction of beauity

Answer 1

Here's my answer hope will help u
what you fell right now is not exactly love is attraction.
u saw a girl you like how she looks and how she is, and you feel a feeling let's call it attraction
attraction is the first step of love
you feel you like her, like you wanna be with her
the problem is that you feel also confused and don't know what to do, you just need to make a little courage and makes a small step
if she doesn't know you if you drop directly the "i like you" thing is not such a good ideea you'll be embarrased and she'll not know how to react and will probably blow this off
so just enter into a usual conversation about usual topics and see what it happens
be sincerly, say what your heart tells, so she'll know a little better , what's in your mind and soul and you'll also know her better
and see if you really like her as human beeing, and it wasn't just a dream
and here is the answer of "What is love?" question... what does your heart feel
after the talk with her if you still feel a strong and pleasing feeling for her then it's probably love not an illusion not only attraction
the love could be better described as the things you do in a couple
if you care about her, when she's having problems, you try to make it feel better and for example you hold her in you arms
you'll know if she loves you if she also cares about you well beeing
you also will want to be more near her company, for example a walk in a park, a movie, just talkin, usual things mostly
also she understands the really you, how you are in your heart, and you also feel the way she is, and you feel like have no inhibations towards her and feel totally free near her to express whatever your heart feels and your mind tells, like doing small lover games, or expressing your feelings carresing her

so that's the true love -a couple, if you are with her in good times and support her through bad times, and you feel like you and her are only one person

okay i probably got carried by the wave and wrote a litle too much in here, but if it helps you it worth it
now a final advice
make a little courage and try beeing with her, and whatever it happens, if you succed or not you'll be better, if you don't succed you'll fell your heart more peacefull with itself, and if you succed you'll fiind the true love(and i hope you will) you'll feel like touching the Heaven, so enjoy your feeling, your time near her, cause it surely worth it :)

Answer 2

Love is not an emotion. It is something that is carefully built, not something you "fall into." It is a lifestyle. What you've described is an infatuation. That's not a bad thing, but to become love, there's a lot of bilateral work to do. And, yes, the first step is walking up and saying "I like you," or something of the sort.

The best definition Ifor love 've ever come across is in the bible. Even if you're not a Christian, this could be useful for you.



1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Nobody can tell you when exactly you fall in love with someone... You just know. Some may say it takes time but I don't agree... You may love that person the moment you saw her or after some time of "preparing how to tell her".
Not having the courage to express what you feel is nothing to worry about... Just make her understand she means very much to you! Now I won't give you details about how to do this because it's all up to you! Just don't be late with telling her directly that you love her because you never know...
From what I see you fear this is an attraction of beauty! Well at first of course it is! Who isn't attracted to a beautifull girl that smiles when you look at her? It's the staring point but th eproblem is some don't want to go to the next level...
Next level would be getting to know her better and the best way to do this, if you're afraid to talk to her directly is find out who her friends are and talk with them! One thing is to hear what she says about herself and another is to see thing through other eyes!
Of course you won't come to know her completely! You don't come to know a person in a entire lifetime, but this way you'll find out more about what she likes, how does she usually reacts, where she likes to hang out... (in case it doesn't work out, you still made other relations!).
In the end, coming to your question, you just know when you fall in love! Just be sure you get to know the person not only on the outside bu ton the inside as well!
