Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages (though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry). Others maintain that love really exists, is not an abstraction, but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another. And others attempt to define love and apply the definition to everyday life.

Well, I'm pretty sure that it's mostly a perspective thing. When I say "love" the word travels through your synapses, and stimulates a part of your brain that makes you think of love, or maybe your parents, or maybe your feeling the lack of love.
Those chemicals are real, so I'd say that your chances of finding it are better if you've had healthy loving relationships in the past. The most important thing about love is excepting it, or trusting that the other person loves you, this is were most people screw up.
My favorite to quotes on the subject are:
"You'll never be able to love anyone else until you love yourself."
-Emily Dickinson-
and
"If you wondering to yourself 'am i in love' then your probably not in true love."
-My mom-
Though the second one isn't always necessarily true...

you have to take a chance on love. the only way to know for sure that it's true love is time. if he stays with you for a long time, say 5 years it might be true. if he stays for 15 it might be. if he stays for 50 it is.

True love is being financially ruined by them and not caring because you love them more than money.
