Your heart beats slowly and deeply when you're near them, and when they smile at you it skips a beat and you melt. Even before you can see them clearly as they are walking towards you, you know its them because you can just feel it. You find yourself thinking nothing at all except about them, nothing in particular, just their face or their name. You never want to let go of them, and when you kiss them suddenly you don't need to breathe. You'll glow, and I guess you'll just know.

Well now, Love and "in Love" are two different things! I am a bit of a cynic when it comes to being "in Love". In my cynical way I equate it as a form of temporary insanity. It is obsessive, and possessive and all of the things that real Love is not.
Love, as M. Scott Peck told us in his book "the Road Less Traveled" is putting the welfare of the other at least on a pare with your own. And C.S. Lewis told us about Love in his book "The Four Loves". The highest form of Love is sacrificial, like the kind that we see in Jesus and some of the Saints.

love means so much ( i don't think there is enough room but I will try to be short). Love to me is a verb. It's the action of forgiving, grace, redemption etc. Love is being able to tolerate those different than you and seeing the good. Love in the romantic sense goes way beyond an emotion. It goes way beyond the physical sense.
I think you know you are in without question. You don't have to sit there and think "do i love this person?" instead you can say "I love this person."

Love does not stand for sex because today we people have created our own mind for this great relation and it is also not necessory that this relation can only be stand between man and woman, it can be appeare in any form or in any case even with the God and also even with any animal. Love is the name of happiness and blessing of God which needs no artificial thing and formalities.

there are 4 different types of love in the greek, and personally i believe that the english does it no justice:
philia: brotherly love. like you would love your family or your best friend
eros- sexual or romantic love. comming from the greek god eros, or as known more commonly as cupid! this is the heart throb kind
storge- a natural love. this is the kind that your parents would have for you
agape- unconditional Godly love. this kind of love is the most important and it is the kind that jesus has for people and he displayed that by the cross.

Good question! Love means everything....sincere, kind...not proud. True love would die before they let the other person die. Totally the opposite of sef centeredness.
If you have a Bible, read 1st Corinthians chapter 13.
And John3:16. That is love.

On a spiritual level God is love. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him including the "gift" of your mate.
On a physical level you generally know you are in love when it's your desire to share even the tiniest detail and triumph and pain with that other person. When you are separated from him you long to be with him. When you make plans you want to include him in them. When you think of your future he is there.
God bless!

Love means to sacrifice for others.
You know when to be in love when someone got hurt and you lend your helping hand... That is love...
Peace...
