I'm not looking for it now but how do you know when you really love someone besides family and friends?

You'd die for that person.

Falling in love is more than just liking someone for their looks, or for their sense of humor, or for any single quality about them. It's loving them for the whole person that they truly are. It's knowing you could forgive them no matter what they did (if they were TRULY sorry). It's loving them so much that you care more about their happiness than your own (and they feel the same way). It's wanting only the best for them, wanting to help them anytime they're hurt or sad, wanting to protect them and make sure they never get hurt, wanting to share every moment with them because you know that in every moment you share, your joys will be more than doubled and your sorrows will be more than halved. It's truly understanding them, having this indescribably close and wonderful connection between the two of you in your heart and soul.
That's not a complete definition of love, but when you find it, you'll know... trust me.
Best wishes,

I know I love someone when I'm comfortable with them and when they're comfortable with me. I know I'm in love with someone when I have strong feelings for them that don't accompany bad feelings (jealousy, paranoia, or the like). I know I'm in love when I see something cool, and my first thought is to go and show them.
Love is magic. I've been married for almost seven years now. The flames of love still burn and will burn forever. After a while they burn differently, but they're just as real and just as intense.

I'd think about what you would give up for this person. Would you make big sacrifices for them? Would you make compromises with them when the two of you can't agree? I'd do some thinking about what you would want from someone who loves you, and ask yourself if that's what you can give this person. If times were tough, would you be able to give more than you recieve with this person? In the end, love is about giving.

When you find that rare, special, someone that loves you for you.
The person doesn't want to change you and accepts you as you are.
Someone that loves your heart.
.... respects your boundaries
...will take the relationship at the speed you want to
... isn't caught up in himself / herself and cares about every aspect of YOUR life.
...is a good communicator
...is honest
...you will have knots in your stomach when he / she is around
...you find yourself thinking about him / her all of the time
...when you have found the right person, you will know.
There will be NO doubt.

some say, you'll just know when it hit you. You have the certain feeling which is quite unexplainable. I don't mean to sound sappy about it but it's a magical feeling.
