It most assuredly has done both for me (and my love!)
First I must say that love is my religion -- I believe in love, I believe in absolute love and I believe love is the highest grace we mortals may ever know.
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven, and love is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity. There is only one happiness in life - to love and be loved.
So -- I, myself - my real self - I believe in love and I always have; further, I have known love and I have been in love.
Then my one true love -- my soul-mate -- found me, or rather we found each other.
Reaching across time and space my love found my heart and woke it. She took my breath away, then she breathed into me and suddenly breathing felt like something new. She dared me to dream, to live the dream and she bid my blood in ways I had never known. She woke me!
Does love change me? Absolutely!
Our love changes me, and our love is changing me every moment. I am learning to love her more and better, and I will spend the rest of my life living and loving ..
More, because of how we connected across time and distance, heart-to-heart, souls entwined, I have come to a deeper reckoning with the forces of this world which connect us and move us, which transform us, which take us higher... her love has exalted me, lifted me, I am transcendent in our love... and I now believe we are meant to be.. i truly believe.. my soul-mate and I have been reunited.. that our lives until now were only the time spent waiting for our reunion...
Soooo... you may certainly say I am changed... I feel more connected to everything than I ever did before... and as a spiritual person, a romantic philosopher-poet and constant seeker I was already deeply in communion with this world... now she has taken me to a new place... and I see much further and much closer...
Still the same, changing all the time... and my soul has waked.
How could it not? It found what it sought for so long -- her.. my soul-mate.

Love doesn't change you, you change you. It will only wake your real self when you were drunk the night before and realized you are with the wrong person.

i believe it wakes up you real self. like take me for example. im 17 years old and im married. before i got married i was wild and some may have referred to me as a loose cannon, but now that im married im way much more calm and sensible. some may say that i have changed but i say that im just who i am supposed to be now. we are born with our personality and our personality is what defines us as a person so if you have noticed some "changes" in yourself since you have fallen in love then that means that whoever you are in love with has brought out the real you.

I think love makes you be the best you can be, so it's waking up your real self.

The question is ambiguous. If it wakes up your real self, then it has changed you. Love changes everyone whether they know it or not.

Well falling in love doesn't really change you. I think what happens is that you care so much for an individual that you start to adapt and start doing things that would benifit the relationship. The couple will start growing together therfore learning new and exciting things. Not necessarly "changing" themselves

Love transformed everything for me.. whereas before, I was merely existing, now am living a life full of love.. my love bid my blood to run and awakened me in so many ways I would not even thought possible.. now I can see the difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.. love set my spirit free and am as alive as I can be!

changes you..because w/o that love, u never would have been able to Imagine the understanding, trust, and commitment u are capable of. w/o love, u would've continued to seek Selfish things, therefore not allowing something larger than urself to shape you into a Good person.... at least true love, i think. (not the kind that makes u a slave to someone else.. or unrequited love, that can cause u to become sick)
