Some people mistake a crush, or infatuation or lust for "being in love." When I was younger I thought I was in love so many times. It wasn't until I was older & had more experience that I could compare my little crushes to the real thing... when you're really in love you won't just think it, you'll feel it. In every pore.

Look in the mirror and smile about the person you think you're in love with. The next time you see them, they should at some point have the same expression on their face. When you're in love, you will have the surreal feeling that you've known the person all your life.

at that time, when u're in love or just think u're in love, u can't tell the difference between the 2. the feeling of being in love is intense and it takes over everything. when u think u're in love, u can convince urself so well that it feels like u really r. u can only tell the difference once the feeling has past and u're able to compare what u felt objectively. in a situation like that, hindsight is 20/20.

just thinking that you are in love you know in the back of your mind that something is just not quite right, but you are willing to go along with the idea of being in love for the time being. Actually being in love there are no reservations about the person or your feelings.

The question you ask, I believe. is a tough one to answer because there will be different answers for each and everyone out there that has experienced or is in fact experiencing love. Speaking for myself though, I fell IN love many a time plus, or so I thought. I was younger and more naive then, as I grew older and more mature so did my thoughts, outlook, and expectations of this complicated emotion that all seem to be enraptured with. For me though the best answer I can give to you is this...
If you and your love interest can at the very least make it a year past the 6mo. honeymooner stage and still look at each other with adoration, admiration, respect, feeling the physical tinglies, still think that you would do anything for your mate, that he or she is your best friend/confidant, feel absolute comfort even when you are ill with the flu (with diahrreah-ing/puking and unshowered for 3days), traveled with each other more than 50 miles, met each others family, survived fights either serious or mild/real or stupid, not to question the personal sacrifices you may have to possibly make that is much needed to help your mate out, believe you would give your life to save theirs, possess trust in them no matter a situation at hand, not having to ask permission or give permission to do or participate in social endeavors, still thinking that you can't get enough of each other despite all the short comings of your lover cuz you know we as the human race are all perfectly imperfect, agree to disagree, allow and encourage each others individuality, enjoy and look foward to the comfort of your loves company that only they can provide, having want of your lovers happiness-romantic and or otherwise (enjoying the giving/recieving of), and maybe, depending on your situation and age be able to imagine how cute your mate would be 50 odd some years down the road.
This presently is what I percieve as love, anything less is puppy love, or less than that-lust and/or infatuation,. Keep in mind, my emotional expectations, needs, and overall self has definitely and seriously changed over the years. Today I can tell you I have been in love 2wice, when in fact if you counted the times I said "I love you" that # would be definitely higher than the number 2.
Please remember this though, you should never allow another to abuse you either physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sad but true sometimes love is not returned to you the way you want. Do not compromise your safety and that of your children. True love does NOT ever hurt you even when anger enters the room igniting one anothers temper to a full on blaze furious and wanting to go out of control.

It's terribly hard to differentiate. Only time is the determinant factor to show if you are really in love

When you're in love, you can feel it.
When you think you're in love, you can only dream it.
